Usually, I never put a VNC port on the Internet, so I don't see this problem very often. I usually require a user to authenticate to VPN or SSH before they have access to VNCServer. I would think that that most people would also keep VNC servers protected from raw Internet traffic. However blended threats of worms begin to make their way into corporate networks makes this point one worth considering. It would be nice to have the vncserver be able to deny further login attempts only from the offending IP. Is this the behavior in newer implementations of RealVNC?
