"Got Pwned: Share Your Most Epic Remote Access Security Failures"

[aharon]

"yooo, what's good crew! So I thought I'd share a tale of my epic remote access failure. I was trying to access my dad's home PC from my laptop via TeamViewer while he was on a trip, but I forgot to set up a secure password and accidentally gave my VPN-less coworker access to my entire network . How about you guys, got any stories to share?"

"Dude, I once used the 'admin' username and password combo on a client's router, thinking it was a backup option... let's just say I had to do some fancy 'damage control' afterwards. Lesson learned: always create custom, strong admin passwords! Don't wanna get 'pwned' like that again"

Lol, I once got phished through a seemingly legit Google Docs link and granted my coworker full desktop access. Luckily, I caught the error before they did anything serious, but it was still a close call. Anyone else have some crazy RDP fail stories?

"Man, I once let my mom use my laptop at a coffee shop and she accidentally left the TeamViewer session open while she left to get a refill. Came back to find my laptop had been hacked and my entire digital life was compromised. Long story short, I had to nuke my laptop from orbit"

"lol yeah I once got my account pwned on a forum back in 2012 and had to change all my passwords. Luckily I had 2fa set up, so it was just a minor headache. Guess I was just a noob back then"

"lol yeah my most epic failure was when I accidentally gave my roommate remote access to my work laptop thinking it was a friend's account . Turns out, they were phishing their way to my inbox and now my boss still gives me weird looks . anyone else have a story like that?"

"Dude, I once forgot my 2FA code and accidentally locked myself out of my AWS account. Had to jump through hoops to recover access, and I was on a tight deadline for that project. Still got the gray hairs to prove it"

"lol, had a friend use the same password for their Netflix account as their work email. Luckily, their IT dept had 2FA enabled, so the phisher was locked out before they could do any real damage."

"Man, I had a similar experience. I was working from home and my brother, who's not exactly tech-savvy, accidentally installed a Remote Desktop client on my laptop through a dodgy download site. Next thing I knew, I was getting remote access requests from our neighbor's IP address."
