What would stop someone from setting up a server that listens for connections? Kind of like a reverse VNC (or, by extension, reverse ssh tunneling). It may not be a feature of the program yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. I could compile and distribute my own binary that automatically connects to me.example.com:1234, make sure that server is accessible from the internet, tell the user to bypass non-signed executable restrictions, and we're good to go.
- vxNsr 4y agoYea this is likely what we’re gonna see in scams in the coming months, years, go to helpmenow.com download/install look at that you’re scammed.
- Technetium 4y agoThis has been happening for very many years now. It is very common for a shady scam company to buy an enterprise license for remote access software preconfigured to allow unattended access via predefined variables. This is something very very useful in actual enterprise scenarios where you want to deploy remote access software, but equally dangerous in the wrong hands. The only thing you can do to stop it is educate end users.
