Nothing wrong with connecting to the internet for centralized monitoring and control! But the lack of simple network security was absurd, especially after this happened once already.

My last job had all AWS resources firewalled off for every source but our inhouse VPN's IP and the home IPs of the DevOps team. You couldn't hit those resources from inside the office without the VPN. Easy money. Setup a similar deal at my previous job. Yeah, RDP was open, but only from my home IP. That port might as well not exist from the outside.
