Reposting what TheKnack said [0] as a top level comment, since this is important.
> The Chief Security Architect of FireEye posted this Tweet last week clarifying that there isn't a new compromise of TeamViewer, and the social media posts suggesting there is are misinterpreting a slide from a conference presentation.

- geoah 7y agoThere is a more official statement from TV as well. https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Announcements/FireEye-clarification-regarding-misleading-Social-Media-post/td-p/73804 https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Announcements/FireEye-cl...
- ddtaylor 7y ago> TeamViewer is safe to use How often has that been true? TV has been hacked more than once AFAIK.
- aasasd 7y agoJust as safe as it always was! \(^O^)/
- egeozcan 7y agoTV gives full access to computers through passwords and it seems it's not brute-force resistant. Think about how long an SSH server with password enabled and no autoban would last in the open... Edit: nevermind, the attack is apparently through some malware.
- gyaru 7y ago> Think about how long an SSH server with password enabled and no autoban would last in the open quite long? unless you're using a bad password I don't really see any risk other than filling logs from password attempts.
