There used to be a VNC vulnerability a long time ago and hackers that exploited it would connect to vulnerable VNC servers and then execute commands such as FTP to download trojans and such. If you have VNC or other remote software, make sure it is up to date and lock it down by limiting the IP addresses that can connect.
