You may already know this. If so, maybe it can help someone else. If you do use VNC or another remote connection protocol be sure it is secure, or tunnel the connections through ssh. Use on-standard ports for any Internet connections to avoid most of the break-in attempts. There are quite a few hits on our firewall trying VNC ports. If you use ssh, there are some things you can do to make it more secure. Disable root login, use only public key authentication, set a strong password for the user logging in (so it's harder to sudo to do something bad), set a strong root password (not usually done in Ubuntu), set the allowusers parameter in sshd_config, and use denyhosts. denyhosts is a separate program that blocks ip addresses after a certain number of unsuccessful ssh login attempts.
