I did not understand what it is, sorry if I am layman here.
Can someone explain what is the good/bad here ?

I checked some screen-shots but they all look like Linux screens to me.

Let's see if I can give you a slight hint.

People all over the world have installed VNC (a server to view and control a remote computer) on lots of computers and made it possible to connect, and potentially control, them from any other computer on the internet.

Can you see the issue..?

(If not, please install VNC on your computer and make it accessible from the internet and wait and see if something "fun" happens to it. (This is a joke, please don't do this.))

And they are accessible by anyone (knowledgeable) ?

And we say Hacker are hacking when we keep our doors open !

Yes, if you set it up that way. And many are so clueless that they do just that. This is a bad thing. And the site I linked to in #1 show lots of VNC servers doing this bad thing, "for research and for entertainment".
