Private server access

[~BD~]

One of my ex-army friends, now a long-time professional computer
business owner has told me this:

"When your computer is connected to a private server, you are at risk
from someone with a higher access code (eg Administrator) who can bypass
your firewall on port 3389 which is the main port used for remote desktop.

The problem here is that an ex member of staff or someone who hacks the
server will not let anyone know they have Administrator rights until
they are caught."

*
Does anyone here dispute this fact?
*

If it *is* true (and I have no reason to doubt it) that presumably means
that if anyone subscribes to Annexcafe newsgroups or to the Aumha 'help'
server they are, indeed, putting themselves at risk.

Comments welcomed.

Are *you* listening on port 3389?

Not if they're running Windows 98.

Any clients.

How will the 'private server' get local administrator rights to make
your localmachine a server? Is he talking about within a domain?

Horse ****.

It's as factual as the movie hackers.

Bull****. You been listening or most probably reading from dummies. Aside from that
you are again attacking Auhma and Annex because they banned you. Shows your
intelligence very clearly. Now go and do what I been telling you for a while so as
the whole NET community will be rid of your Trolling
