If this thread is to be believed their statement about TeamViewers products being unaffected is likely not true.
Well this shouldn’t be a problem after the last time they got hacked, because they denied it and blamed the users, so everyone switched to a better product. Not to mention the extortionate rate hikes. Right?
My secops team has a hardon for teamviewer over something internal only like dameware… I just don’t get why. As soon as they mentioned going to team viewer for remote control I mentioned how terrible teamviewer has been with breaches and notifications of breaches but I think my ciso got a very nice dinner…
In my experience, security people are not very good lol. Last 2 teams I interacted with blew my mind on what they deemed ok and not. Like contradictory kind of things.
Thank you, TeamViewer, for flagging my personal use of your software as commercial. I immediately uninstalled it from all my devices, and installed RustDesk in its stead. This was just earlier this year, so you could not have dropped the ball at a better time for me. :)
I’m glad Rustdesk exists.
“RustDesk is a full-featured open source remote control alternative for self-hosting and security with minimal configuration.”
Rust desk is super based. And their software performs MILES better than Teamviewer’s shitty compression ever did.
Super based? Am I getting old? What does that even mean?
Based on current findings of the investigation, the attack was contained within the Corporate IT environment and there is no evidence that the threat actor gained access to our product environment or customer data.
If it were a company other than TeamViewer I’d probably believe them, but since it’s TeamViewer, they could just as easily be lying since they have lied in the past about breaches IIRC.
I’ve never heard of TeamViewer being used for anything but refund scams and the like.
I know a professional software that has it bundled for support calls.
Noted! I think I’ve watched too much Kitboga. But I’m not stopping.
