Friday, February 15, 2019

Dear Customer, First of all, IDC Online Co., Ltd (IDC Online) sincerely thank you for trusting and using our services. Information from our technical department of IDC Online: There are currently targeted attacks by hackers aim to public servers in Vietnam. The hackers scan Windows servers, detect passwords by using a dictionary to try each brute force. If successfully detected, the hacker will perform remote login via remote desktop service, install malicious code to extort money. In case the server is compromised and installed malicious code, all data on the server will have encrypted and unusable, the hacker will extort money for decrypting the data. Precautions: Install and update anti virus. Check the public servers to the Internet, need to set a strong password, and turn off the remote desktop service for the server if not really necessary. In case it is still necessary to maintain remote desktop, it needs to limit access, configure only for fixed IPs that are allowed to be remote. By this email, IDC Online would like you to know and handle to ensure better quality of service. Special thanks. Customer Care Department. IDC Online Company.
