Monday, April 6, 2009 at 7:16 PMJust leaving a comment to drop a tip and tool for Gizmodo: free cross platform desktop sharing with Mikogo. Mikogo is a free app and we just released the Mac Beta version. Actually we’re currently working on the next release for Mac users. The app can be used for remote support, web conferencing, online meetings, and more. Drop by our website http://www.mikogo.com to take it for a spin. Let me know if you’d like more info.
Cheers,

ie. vnc 4.1.1 x86 had a remote vuln that left for worm exploits :(
Maybe use a non standard port at the very least.
Idealy, SSH Tunnel ! :)
