Like many people have already stated here the Administrator has access to your account at all times. That person can be reliable today but tomorrow they cant.

Not saying that every provider who provides RDP is bad or good. But, you have to be careful what data your receiving/sending from your RDP. Let's per say the Administrator password is "abc123!". Whoever, gets in the Administrator can do anything log into your account, check your passwords (for bank account, paypal, filehosting) anything that may be important to you.

Take note your e-mail is connected to so many things online and overtime someone can mine out all the things they can from you. This is a huge risk. Now say someone can hijack the Administrator set up a keylogger and let things be as if nothing has ever happened. Months from now something happens and you don't know where it came from. Or that "Administrator" works in a wi-fi system at home or on the road. The security from that is very high.

VPS is more secure but not a 100% either (nothing is).
managedhybrid Reviewed by managedhybrid on . How safe is RDP really? Been toying with idea of trying out RDP but I can't get past the fact that I will have to use my logins on a computer that I do not know. The potential is there for all my details to vanish along with my accounts etc. I have never used RDP so I can't/won't comment on anybody who offers the service but it would be nice to know what the exact risks are of using it in terms of theft of accounts etc. Thanks.
