Remote login from Finder
The concern isn't the files getting stolen, its the username and password. If I send my password and username around in clear text, someone needs only to sniff those packets, and break into the machine. They don't care about the file I transferred, they care about the password. Once they have a login name and password, they can do quite a bit of nasty stuff. And don't think that just because no one knows your IP address that you are safe, port scanners sit around scanning entire subnets, just hunting for computers to potentially exploit. |
