Gee, it's lucky they didn't start requiring an account for personal use....... Oh, wait.

Since they classed my personal account as professional I hope Team Viewer never recovers.

But there whole business plan is to perform MIM attacks as a feature.

Fuck Russia and their welcoming of hackers, constantly hacking and ransoming shit.

Over and over, fucking scum: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-28/cdk-hackers-have-ties-to-notorious-russia-based-cyber-gang?srnd=technology-vp

from companies to city infrastructure to fucking hospitals: https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/cybersecurity/us-hospitals-paid-100m-to-russian-ransomware-hackers.html

74% of ransomware revenue goes to Russia-linked hackers

https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2114

Russia continues to offer safe harbor for cybercriminals where groups such as LockBit are free to launch ransomware attacks against the United States, its allies, and partners. These ransomware attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and financial institutions.

Thank you, TeamViewer, for flagging my personal use of your software as commercial. I immediately uninstalled it from all my devices, and installed RustDesk in its stead. This was just earlier this year, so you could not have dropped the ball at a better time for me. :)

RDP for Windows comes built in. VNC has a really fast install on Linux. There's no reason not to use them and loan your remote sessions to a third party company.

taiyang ,

RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.

gaylord_fartmaster ,

RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.

trevor ,

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

pelya ,

Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.

VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

catloaf ,

And you should not ever expose RDP or VNC to the Internet, every, for any reason, for any length of time, whatsoever.

Any professional still using team viewer deserves this. I just feel sorry for all the novices that get caught up in this.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

That could have been me a few years ago. I was still using teamviewer up until 2020 to connect to my desktop from my laptop. It's so handy.

Fortunately it was when I started learning about open-source solutions

alphapuggle ,

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can't wait to send this to him.

There’s a built-in alternative on Windows I remember. Not opensourced though

apex32 ,

Yes, but you need Windows Professional to act as a server. Windows Home editions can only act as a client.

ipkpjersi , to Technology in TeamViewer got hacked

Based on current findings of the investigation, the attack was contained within the Corporate IT environment and there is no evidence that the threat actor gained access to our product environment or customer data.

If it were a company other than TeamViewer I'd probably believe them, but since it's TeamViewer, they could just as easily be lying since they have lied in the past about breaches IIRC.

...again

tordenflesk ,

They used to get hacked. They still do, but they used to too.

You want to see a picture of me when I was younger?

    I’ve never heard of TeamViewer being used for anything but refund scams and the like.

    I used to use it for remote management of my personal computer until Teamviewer flagged cookie clicker as commercial software and locked my account.

    cuuube ,

    I use it to become the remote tech support person whenever my dad has trouble using his phone lol

    Rai ,

    You can use it for PHONES?! That’s a pretty dope use case actually.

    MonkderDritte ,

    I know a professional software that has it bundled for support calls.

    Rai ,

    Noted! I think I’ve watched too much Kitboga. But I’m not stopping.
