Attackers are abusing Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) servers to amplify Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
The Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a built-in service in Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides authenticated remote virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) access to Windows-based workstations and servers. The RDP service can be configured to run on TCP/3389 and/or UDP/3389.
