An RDP shop is a website where access to hacked computers is sold to cybercriminals.
The computers may be acquired via scanning the web for open Remote Desktop Protocol connections and brute-forcing passwords.[1] High-value ransomware targets are sometimes available such as airports.[2] Access to a compromised machine retails from $3 to $19 depending on automatically gathered system and network metrics using a standardised back door.[3][4]
Russian sites such as xDedic[3] do not sell access to machines within the former Soviet nations.[5]
