1264839 2012-03-13 22:47:00 I had someone call me a month or so ago because their internet usage had gone through the roof and it was all uploads too.
Traced the problem to a bot that was making their server try and RDP into some other machine in China.
Turns out their last IT company had put the server in the DMZ on the router so it was fully exposed to the internet.
There was also a security patch for RDP to stop this particular vulnerability.
