Why would you use 3rd party software when literally any modern OS can do the same shit
>>54869507
Na, you see, they used Remember me options on their computers for things like Paypal and other shit, so when the hackers gained control of their computers they didn't need to auth themselves to do transactions.
This is basically just a security 101 lesson for people. I'm willing to bet a bunch of these people slipped up and posted Teamviewer info publicly as well, either in screenshots or streamed, so that hackers only had to do minimum effort to log in.

what's the point of 2fa then silly teamviewers

You all shit on TeamViewer and all, but what else to use, that would work on both Windows and Linux alike?
In before "ssh" - not everyone at work is willing to work over terminal, stop being autistic.
>>54870371
What?
2fa usually covers logins. The general idea is that if you use Remember me it would only be on a home computer. Often 2fa systems will also take into account your IP so if your computer got stolen and they connect from a new IP/different range it would hit them up with a reauth message.
But it really just comes down to the fact that they left a remote login system running which wasn't adequately secured. User stupidity.

>>54879116
ok buddy
>>54878812
Paypal is safe. You can only do so much to protect users from themselves.
I seriously doubt that TeamViewer was hacked; I have several PCs running it with no signs of bad activity, but I use a 16 character password with uppercase/lowercase/Symbols/Numbers so I assume that's why.
I also don't reuse passwords across services. I assume the Myspace and Linkedin breaches were the main reasons, along with password reuse.
>>54868476
it means they have a way to get access without needing that.

and I got the pdf in seconds. On windows I would've opened the file explorer, navigated my way into the folder which had my attachments, selected all files, pressed right mouse button, select print, select save as pdf, select output folder, and so on
in many cases working in ttys is superior to guis

>>54888084
Check your teamviewer logs for starters. In any case, the pajeets who were 'hacking' used very simple tools.
They loggin at some random time, use a very simple password viewer to show all passwords in firefox/chrome/explorer and then proceed to empty your paypal account. Just check the logs for 'webbrowserpassview.exe'.
Having a master password doesnt help you.
Victim here. They remotely entered my computer at 6am this morning. Logged onto my ebay account and bought $400 in iTunes gift cards. Went to my Amazon and put $200 in PSN giftcards in the cart before the transmission was cut off by Teamviewer themselves.
I have access to logs and browser history.
Ask me anything.

Assuming a Windows install, Google (cause I forgot) how to find (or search your computer) for TeamViewer log file. Look for unrecognized ip addresses or times you're unlikely to have connected.
From the looks of it you're most at risk if:
> your TeamViewer password is one previously compromised in the earlier LinkedIn or related hacks
> you run TeamViewer as a service (meaning always waiting for you to connect whenever your PC is on
>reusing passwords
>saving login details in a browser
>leaving a remote control daemon running 24/7
I don't know what to switch to at this point.
I mean I haven't had any problems with teamviewer but vulnerabilities just puts me on the edge, the fact that teamviewer is a proprietary piece of shit is enough already to try to ignore
I remote desktop from my laptop to desktop whenever I need to check up on whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and Windows Remote Desktop takes over sound, display, everything, doesn't like multi-monitor setup or directx applications running
I also access from my phone as well whenever I'm on the go and I need to check up on something or manage files
Google Remote Desktop is there and the closest one I can switch to but hasn't been very reliable to me as most of the time my PCs just appeared offline even when chrome is running
I don't know any real alternative other than LogMeIn but they're pretty much the same boat as TeamViewer in terms of proprietary freeware & protocols

Don't give that fucking shitweasel a real answer. If he's too dumb to figure out security on his own he can keep using teamviewer, like a dumbass. No amount of angsty, over confident, shitposts will fix the fact that there is a "support team" somewhere that doesn't understand basic system security.
That's like being a chef and not knowing what a fork is. I hope he gets raped by teamviewer pajeets and ends up homeless, getting butt railed by crooked head tyrone for a few tugs from the bottle of MD2020 tyrone found in the parking lot earlier in the day.

I reported this on the sqt earlier this week, nothing happened to me because I leave my pc locked but alternatives to the program just aren't as convenient, next time I get to that computer I hope tightvnc works alright

This is the first time in my 12 years as an IT guy any of my systems have been breached.

If only Chrome would allow me to add 'friend' computers... but it does not. And getting computer illiterates to open their Chrome, and giving me the ID number?
That ain't gonna ever work.
So yeah, I try to rely on Chrome's Remote and UltraVNC, but they only get me so far.
The illiterates require something with no remote interaction. Chrome Remote WOULD BE fucking perfect, IF I could just add my PCs.
But I can't. I can only add computers that have my Chrome profile sync'd. But who the fuck would do that?

Why not make a Chrome profile just for remoting?

No. These customers insist that I use it because other companies already rely on it. I wouldn't mind having some sort of a VNC solution.
But hassle free is really what it boils down into and that's why people are going to keep using it. It doesn't matter if we like it or not.
>Why would anyone willingly permanently run 3rd party remote software
This was the question. I gave you an answer.
I use Microsoft RDP on my Windows Professional OS.

Uhm... yeah but got my gmail blocked a few times already due to "misuse", like I used one only to receive these junk mails, so I am not so sure.
Can't understand why they have to restrict it so much.

RPD should be only used with OpenVPN - or maybe with ssh port forwarding. But it should never be put on an open network.
I did use it like this with a throwaway server, but yeah.
>>54899939
You cannot just install ANY VNC remotely. Let alone port forward it, and set it up.
Teamviewer offers all this, in one package.
That's why it's so popular.

Fuck that, I pump VNC through SSH.
Problem solved.
>>54899027
I had it uninstalled five months ago, don't own any Teamviewer account and I think I saw a log file when I used Everything to find anything related to "teamviewer"
I have it installed and I'll continue to use like nothing ever happened. I trust my router.

I don't even have a cpu
I had some random person connect to a VM running TeamViewer a few years ago.
I disabled the random password generator in TeamViewer and had my own generated strong password.
I was sitting there looking at it and person just connects and looks up a chinese company and could see them pause to try and figure what was going on.
I killed connection and removed anything of value off the VM and rebooted the VM and waited for it to happen again. Never had another connection, the ID in TeamViewer did change the next time I opened it, which was weird. Never trusted it again.

Just make the computer illiterate people run AnyDesk. It doesn't even need installed afaik.
