I log in to my gmail and saw that someone requested for email change of certain file-host account. I wondered how he came to know username of that specific account. I tried opening userscloud account but I had no access. I log in to giga-rdp and saw that someone changed my userscloud account and requested for payout of huge sum of money in bitcoin. That dumb forget to log out of my account. I changed the e-mail and then changed the password using forget password and cancelled the payout. He also tried changing openload email but was unsuccessful.

I was with giga-rdp from early March 2013-December 2014 and then Jan 2016-Current. I didn't knew about 2015 hack otherwise I would have never signed up again.

For those who are on giga-rdp, clear your website history including passwords etc and clear your ftp logins immediately.

Also, suggest me a decent rdp under 5-6 dollars. I upload micro files only.

Thank You

Naah man, I download from torrent (reputable sources) and upload them to multiple file-hosts. Never did anything more than this.

Are you using RDP or which product? Also, Can you also check your Home PC? Are you sure that is not compromised or something?
 
RDP. I just use it for high speed. Download and upload. Nothing else. All my passwords are alphanumeric and I change it every 2 months. Regarding security my side, I install essential and trusted apps (firefox, photoshop, office 2016, filezilla, winrar etc. ) on both my Mac and Windows not installing 100+ softwares like a crazy kid. Giga-rdp was also hacked in past and there were many times when server was down for days. Guy who accessed my account tried changing to only 2 file-hosts because their credentials were saved in firefox. I have 5+ accounts in my PC are rest are fine. I think hacker somehow got admin password and he started scraping user id and passwords from browsers.

Why I never left because I need it for few days in a month. But changing this time.

Okay. Thanks for your extended info :)

The Credentials which were getting changed by the hacker saved in RDP? Regarding the GigaRDP, Even if their clients area get hacked, Your RDP credential should be untouched i think (if you changed the default given RDP Pass earlier). Just my thoughts.

Microsoft's Security really sucks these days. Too many ransomware attacks. Seems your one is not ransomware attack.

Admin can access to local accounts data. Same like if I have 1 PC and I create multiple limited accounts for my student (browsing, using installed apps but not installing, uninstalling things). Hacker can easily copy %appdata% folder which contains imp. settings for used apps. He will mount that folder on his system and it will become a clone. I tested locally and it worked so it's child's play for those who really targeting at it.

Yeah. The main admin server can also be compromised and the hacker is accessing user's data.
 
It is unfair to say Giga-RDP has been hacked, it's only your unsecure account which was hacked.

This is a part of the reason we @ CoinRDP never went ahead with proposal of selling Admin RDPs - let's face it, Windows is not very secure when it comes to restricting Admin access to do limited stuff you want. It can be done, not impossible but needs lot of money to be spent which I am sure no business here would spend as the margins in RDP business are low anyway.

Worked with @Ranchvapour to limit user access in Admin RDP but it either required lot of changes (resulting in high cost) or simply cannot be done!

Stop using Admin RDPs if you want a secure RDP, your apps can be installed by RDP providers with a simple ticket. Buy a dedicated server if you need Admin Access lol

Totally agreed. This is why we never offered admin in last 4+ years. Regarding windows security, Nothing to say. it is worse. Sometimes you get attacked with the newest server which is not used yet. Sometimes it gets inbuilt miner. Not saying Windows is applying these but this is too easy these days to attack Win users or new OS installed a few minutes ago until you have applied a good protection to firewall or something.
