What a mess... well, I don't have it installed and only use the portable version but still ...

If you are serious about security you should set up a firewall and openvpn, generate your ca and certs properly and make sure you use tls auth key

Koolen Gesichte, Bruder.

And how is the retard that needs computer help on the other side supposed to do stuff like this to allow remote connection?

I don't know if there's been a hack but the initial reports that everything's been compromised and not even 2FA could stop the hackers appear to be false. https://www.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/comments/4mtjvi/has_anyone_firsthand_been_hacked_with_2fa_enabled/

So at least for now we can say that if you had 2FA enabled you weren't affected. Which is the best you can hope in any case (that 2FA will protect you), so no need to search for alternatives.

I got nailed in March while on vacation, learned my lesson about leaving my computer on to remote in while I was on the other side of the world, all said and done they got about 3 grand between my wife and my paypal accounts. Thankfully our banks and paypal played ball and got everything sorted rather quickly.

When this happened I did some research and found a post someone made in February with the exact situation their team viewer was compromised and they hit their paypal account, when I aksed team viewers support about it of course they had no idea and when I proivded my log they didnt see anything unusual but when you checked my browser history on firefox and chrome those bastards went straight for paypal all said and done it took less than 30 minutes. I will take some blame for having my paypal password stored but who the hell thinks someone is going to hack your team viewer account and get in that way.

Link from February

I don't think they've been hacked, they have no brute force protection, with the weak pass codes they use by default it wouldn't take much to get into a teamviewer computer.

Something I havent figured out yet, how did they know the computer was turned on and did they have a huge list of usernames there were fishing with? I still had to log into the computer with a username and password when they got me.

They could possibly have come across a way of sending a teamviewer handshake packet to scanned ip's and seeing if it acknowledged. Not sure if teamviewer uses a specific port other than your common ones but that would have made it even easier.
