Researchers have discovered at least 9,000 exposed VNC (virtual network computing) endpoints that can be accessed and used without authentication, allowing threat actors easy access to internal networks

Depending on what systems lie behind the exposed VNCs, like, for example, water treatment facilities, the implications of abusing access could be devastating for entire communities

Security weakness hunters at Cyble scanned the web for internet-facing VNC instances with no password and found over 9,000 accessible servers

To make matters worse, Cybcle found some of these exposed VNC instances to be for industrial control systems, which should never be exposed to the Internet

"An adversary could use VNC to remotely control and monitor a system to collect data and information to pivot to other systems within the network."

Even then, admins should always add a password to instances to restrict access to the VNC servers
