My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can't wait to send this to him.
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.
100%. Just self host their server components,otherwise it's kind of slow. It's an open alternative to Anydesk,which is still miles better than TeamViewer.
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.
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. :)
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.
