>> I found 3567 servers that were unprotected. That's pretty low for scanning the whole internet. Either VNC isn't used that much or I was simply expecting 10 times as many servers.

I run an unprotected VNC server at home, but its not open to the world because I'm using a router that doesn't expose local ports, like most people.

We had a major thread about something similar a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11367666 . Is this story significantly different?

This site is actually up (unlike the roulette one) and seems to also show IPs (I don't think the previous one showed IPs).

Yeah I saw the "please disabled adblocker message" with a cute cat. I then thought about what the site was doing and I decided to keep it on and close out the site instead.

Those are not cheap pieces of equipment to run and I hope like hell it is not remote controllable. You can make or break an elevator operation by how you deal with moisture.
