Moved to the right section.

OT: Yeah it looks real damn: https://www.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/

 

Had Teamviewer on an old computer. Can't remember why I had it, but I'm super glad I've never needed to download it again and now I never will.

It's funny that they denied it, then said it was because of weak user passwords.

 

"We've heard that its DNS servers were pointing towards Chinese IP addresses at one point, but we haven't been able to verify that."

Anyone know Bodgan's current location?

 

I personally don't know if TeamViewer is to blame, it would be a lot easier to create a virus and keep it undetectable if all it does is hook into TeamViewer. It may use TeamViewer as a proxy to get remote control over a computer but really who's fault is it.

 

I had teamview downloaded, uninstalled it just in case. Thanks for posting this!

 

Uninstalled Teamviewer aswell just to be sure, will run a virusscan tomorrow probably. Thanks!

 

As long as I wasn't logged into anything such as paypal/coinbase will I be safe?

 

Curious as well.

I've uninstalled it.

 

That is the craziest news I've heard in a while, besides the woman throwing her child in a gorilla pen.

 

Scanned with mbam just in case but found nothing new. I might scan again with another program but I'm assuming I'm safe. *touch wood*
