The main source of the Ransomware is RDP Port default 3389

Change the RDP port to prevent Ransomware

Step

When choosing a non-standard RDP port, please note that it is not recommended to use port 1-1023 (known ports) and dynamic RPC port range 49152-65535.

 

Let’s try to change the port of the Remote Desktop service to 1786. To do it:

Open PowerShell

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\" -Name PortNumber -Value 1786

Or

1.    Open the Registry Editor and go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp;

2.    Find the DWORD parameter with the name PortNumber. This parameter shows the port, on which the Remote Desktop service is listening;

3.    Change the value of this parameter. I have changed the RDP port to 1786 (Decimal);
