TS/3389 risk on Internet

Subject: TS/3389 risk on Internet
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:18:58 +0000
I have a peer that insists on allowing public access to his Domain controller via TS/tcp 3389 over the internet. I know there are some documented cases of 'man-in-the-middle' attacks for this service but I was hoping someone here could help me plead my case as to why this is a bad idea. Maybe you all disagree and regurlary allow this traffic. It just doesn't sit well with me. Does anyone know if the login/password is sent in clear text for TS authentication?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Nicole
