Literally not their fault.

Some users have insisted they have had good passwords and 2FA enabled and still got hit, but then they provide no proof to the community or TV as a company (for the latter, this is what the company alleges).
There's also some insecure defaults in the tool - the default join code is a 9 digit machine ID and a four digit PIN that rotates every minute that could theoretically be bruteforced. This can be easily changed but that's the default in the server.
Some users believe/allege that the actual problem was a compromise on the server side by hackers, which would mean passwords would become irrelevant to establishing sessions (unless you enabled the secondary option of per machine passwords, which are not stored on Teamviewer servers).
