"Researchers Watched 100 Hours of Hackers Hacking Honeypot Computers"

Two security researchers deployed several Windows servers that were deliberately exposed to the Internet. They were set up with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), allowing hackers to remotely control the compromised servers as if they were regular users. With these honeypots, researchers were able to record 190 million events and 100 hours of video footage of hackers taking control of servers and performing a variety of actions on them, such as reconnaissance, installing malware that mines cryptocurrencies, using Android emulators to conduct click fraud, brute-forcing passwords for other computers, hiding their identities by using the honeypot as a starting point for another attack, and more. According to the researchers, a successful login can generate "tens of events." This article continues to discuss the researchers' observations from the honeypot experiment.
