Neither was TeamViewer hacked nor is there a security hole Therefore TeamViewer underscores the following aspects: TeamViewer is appalled by any criminal activity however, the source of the problem, according to our research, is careless use, not a potential security breach on TeamViewer’s side. In a statement issued today but attributed to a week ago, Teamviewer denied any breach of its systems: My friend claimed he used a unique password, and other users with two-factor authentication enabled have said that they have been hacked, which is virtually impossible if it’s just username/password combos being tried. It’s certainly possible - with the recent LinkedIn security breach, there’s millions of email/password combos in the wild, and people are notorious for re-using logins across different sites and services.īut there’s also mounting evidence that it’s some kind of flaw in Teamviewer’s software.
Teamviewer claims it isn’t a problem with its system, but rather with users’ individual credentials. It’s pretty obvious what is going on - Teamviewer isn’t a backdoor, but a remote control program, so the mouse moves around the screen like there’s an actual user controlling it. The accounts on Reddit and from my friend all sound similar: someone takes remote access of a PC, and then signs into something like eBay, PayPal, or email services.
