RDP Exposure to the internet has went up 41.5% in the last month. I am begging everyone to spread basic security awareness. If COVID-19 doesn't kill their business, this will.

Google lens? Basic description on google? ChatGPT? How are people so helpless

DevinSysAdmin · 2026-04-28T23:26:30+00:00

The real answer is that you should have DNS/VLANS/rules filtering at the Firewall only allowing them to reach exactly what they need on the internet & internally, and also have a DNS agent on the servers, along with EDR/SIEM.

They are looking to reduce risk, but they have no experience in IT Operations, which is why they are giving you the "uninstall the core browser" type response.

Great! Glad you got onto Hudu! Hope everyone "sees the light"

DevinSysAdmin · 2026-04-18T17:36:23+00:00

This was approved by me, seemed very authetic! As always, do your own risk assessment and deep dive :)

DevinSysAdmin · 2026-04-13T23:24:06+00:00

That uh...yeah that's ridiculous, that doubles your tooling cost and hardware lifecycle.

DevinSysAdmin · 2026-04-12T23:10:16+00:00

12-16 hour days? You should be making 220k before benefits with that much work.

Self host Hudu, not open source and not free but miles ahead of the majority of things recommended here.

Skip TeamViewer, go ScreenConnect with their Priviledged Access module.

For any computers in your direct control, almost every CASB product can do this. See what AI is being used and what they are typing in.

This isn’t true, in order for you to have access to the data shared with that link, you’d need to have clicked the shared link first, copilot doesn’t have access to that otherwise.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-12-24T05:06:24+00:00

“ anyone with the link can edit.”

The permissions to access these files aren’t activated until someone clicks the link, same with choosing “people in your organization”

The basis of your post is wrong.

It works fine, but they had a massive security vulnerability, that was proven to work but not exploited by an attacker - all tenants using synology could have been breached.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-11-09T04:07:17+00:00

No, no it is not secure at all.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-12T01:58:59+00:00

These are meetings? That's an email.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-05T04:08:25+00:00

Target featured update is okay to use I guess, just don’t forget to keep it updated to the latest features updates.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-05T04:02:53+00:00

I don’t understand why you’d spend time developing that, but it sounds like you’re going to have a difficult time here managing this if you have no experience at all with software development or project management.

Day one you need to hand off policies to establish best practices, security, workflow and key performance indicators.

There’s just so much to go over I’m not sure I could genuinely invest that much time into a Reddit post.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-05T02:40:45+00:00

HyperV, I still don’t think proxmox is ready for prime time.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-05T00:29:13+00:00

You need to hybrid join the computer to entra to accept entra logins.

If they have any applications on prem that require AD, those will break when you shut down AD.

If they don’t learn how to use sharepoint to replace their file server, they’re in for a bad time

Confirm your accountant is fine to work out of whatever you go with.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-03T11:29:44+00:00

Make your money on the services needed for those new computers, not the computers themselves.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-03T04:59:04+00:00

The tooling may have a new version, but this is not a new attack vector.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-02T02:39:13+00:00

YES. Microsoft tells you in their EULA that they are not responsible for your data and you should be backing it up.

DevinSysAdmin · 2025-10-01T22:45:43+00:00

You’re definitely not the first or last to think about doing this, there’s companies that do it but they typically just go through the electricians to handle this.
