I was happily working on my Azure VM playpen last night via a remote desktop session. When I logged on this morning I was presented with the attached message:

hacked pic

The VM contained nothing of value and the study app I was working on was committed to a remote repo. So while I can easily delete this VM and create another, I am interested in ideas as to how this may have happened. I guess it could just be brute force password attack. Anyone else seen the same on an Azure VM?

    Brute force, malware on your personal computer, vulnerable installed applications, the list goes on and on. – ceejayoz Mar 10 '17 at 14:57
  • This should be deleted for several reasons: It is better suited for Information Security than Server Fault, it does not have a defined answer, it is largely based on opinion, it is an exact duplicate, and it does not reflect professional standards. I would suggest deleting it. – B00TK1D Mar 10 '17 at 15:38
  • I agree with each point here – tr0users Mar 10 '17 at 18:54
  • Thanks @ceejayoz I guess I'll never know but all good suggestions – tr0users Mar 10 '17 at 18:57
