Remote IT management provider TeamViewer says it has been hacked, allegedly by Russian state hackers from APT29

Any professional still using team viewer deserves this. I just feel sorry for all the novices that get caught up in this.

Fuck Russia and their welcoming of hackers, constantly hacking and ransoming shit.

Over and over, fucking scum: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-28/cdk-hackers-have-ties-to-notorious-russia-based-cyber-gang?srnd=technology-vp

from companies to city infrastructure to fucking hospitals: https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/cybersecurity/us-hospitals-paid-100m-to-russian-ransomware-hackers.html

74% of ransomware revenue goes to Russia-linked hackers

Russia continues to offer safe harbor for cybercriminals where groups such as LockBit are free to launch ransomware attacks against the United States, its allies, and partners. These ransomware attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and financial institutions.

Since they classed my personal account as professional I hope Team Viewer never recovers.

Here we go again....

Gee, it's lucky they didn't start requiring an account for personal use....... Oh, wait.

RDP for Windows comes built in. VNC has a really fast install on Linux. There's no reason not to use them and loan your remote sessions to a third party company.
