Remote access portal exposed
vpn.example.co.uk
- What we saw
- A VPN sign-in page is public and shows its product and version: ████████ 9.1.
- Why it matters
- Remote access portals are among the first things attackers look for, and the version points to missing updates.
- How to fix it
- Apply the vendor's updates, require multi-factor authentication and limit who can reach the page.

Forgotten staging site
staging.example.co.uk
- What we saw
- A staging copy of your site is live with a public login page. Its certificate was last renewed in 2023.
- Why it matters

- How to fix it
- Take it offline, or restrict it to your office and VPN.
04Medium
