[This guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uSVVCmOH5w) connects to the web on an xp version that is being runned on vm. How can they get so much access to the computer, why didn’t this happened so eassily back in the day, and why newer os are less likely to run into those problems?

They’re putting it directly in the internet via publicly routable IP. 

It’s similar to a corporate phone system. Dialing out looks like it comes from your number and dialing in requires going through the receptionist or phone system (your firewall).
