There was also a quite recent issue with the Windows remote desktop tool – you can read all about it here. The remote access software issueĪctually, this is not the only time when a popular remote access tool has been the target of an attack. The most affected are companies that use TeamViewer business to connect with employees who are not working at the office or companies that offer remote IT support. PayPal and other financial accounts are the most affected. This transformed the entire event into a big hit since hackers managed to steal financial and important personal data. Once this happened, they stole passwords and other sensitive information stored within internet browsers. Hackers used passwords stolen from these accounts to access TeamViewer accounts and connect to users’ computers remotely. This attack is in direct connection with the attacks that happened on Reddit, Twitter, and LinkedIn where millions of email addresses and passwords were leaked.
This way users will be protected from hackers.
This states that all users should change their passwords and implement a two-factor authentication process. To protect the users, an advisory statement has been issued by the TeamViewer PR team. Starting with early June, the whole world got a powerful hit when users announced that TeamViewer, the popular remote desktop tool, has been hacked.
