@Hyolobrika it's a random vnc server isn't a home so I hold it to a lower standard.

@Hyolobrika no, why? I am just saying I have a much much lower standard for privacy for a competely unsecured vnc server than for a private residence

@Hyolobrika it's not like they're a locksmith advertising their services, plenty of other enterprises like shodan do this exactly though

at worst, they are raising public alertness

@Hyolobrika you shouldn't put that unprotected on the internet because it's effectively inviting random passersby into your house

@sun @Hyolobrika yes it’s their own fault really

@arcana @Hyolobrika the rules break down when you compare computers and social arrangements because a lot of computer stuff was deliberately built for openness, and computer networks were one of those things. there is a long standing criticism that open by default was a mistake but I think that the thing that worked had to develop out of an open system not a closed one. As an example, an unsecured wifi access point literally sends out a signal that invites people to connect to it. So, if you run an unsecured wifi access point, you quite explicitly are inviting strangers to use it. The fact that you don't know computers and you bought a router for your house DOES NOT MATTER, because connections between computers are negotiated by these protocols, the computers don't know anything except the signal it received that said you can connect to it.

@sun @arcana @Hyolobrika Yeah it would be one thing if it was poorly secured, like a WEP network, since that at least signals the intent, like a functionally decorative padlock does. Unsecured is open and differing social norms on implied permissiveness don't work on the world wide web.
