"Hey guys, just had the worst day ever. Turns out my RDP server got hacked and it's been exposed on the dark web for days. Anyone else had a similar experience or know of a good way to detect and prevent these kinds of attacks?"

"Holy crap, that's a wild story! Glad you were able to catch the hacker before they did any real damage. What kind of security measures are you thinking of implementing now to prevent something like this from happening again?"

"Dude, that's crazy! I've heard of RDP brute force attacks, but never actually had one myself. Thanks for sharing the lessons learned, hope others can avoid a similar mess"

"Dude, I'm glad you got your server sorted out but that's a crazy story. I've heard of people getting in through exposed RDP, but that's a close call. Make sure to enable two-factor auth ASAP"

"Dude, that's a wild story. Glad to hear you got your server cleaned up and your crypto assets are safe. Did you get any ransom demands from the hackers, or were they more interested in exploiting your server for their own gain?"

"Dude, I feel your pain! Been there, done that - had my own RDP server get pwned back in 2020. Make sure to change all your passwords ASAP and get a decent security suite to protect yourself from future breaches"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. That's some wild stuff - makes me double-check my own RDP setup. Have you at least changed all your passwords and updated your server software?"

"Dude, that's some wild stuff! Glad you were able to get your server squared away before it got taken down by some nefarious actor. Did you manage to catch the IP of the attacker by chance?"

"Lol, dude, that's a wild story! Glad you were able to catch the issue before anything major happened. Did you update your RDP server's software to the latest version, or was there something else you did to patch the vulnerability?"
