Question

Hey all, I have downloaded an iso image of the ESXi 6.7 and I installed on my machine. I got a Vmware web host that can build the virtual machine on it.  Is that if I upload my data to this virtual machine, is that  my data is secure in this web host? Is that anybody can see this data?

The data isn't really safe, but not really unsafe 🙂

To access your data, there are multiple ways:

1) login to your VM and copy the data via network

2) create a new VM and attache your existing harddrive to this new VM. Then you don't need login credentials to your old VM and can access your data ...

But: just with having login to your hypervisor, you cannot access data. You need to have some criminal energy Smiley Happy
