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

LucidNightmare ,

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. :)

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 ,

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.

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.

    I’m glad Rustdesk exists.

    “RustDesk is a full-featured open source remote control alternative for self-hosting and security with minimal configuration.”

    TIL, thanks!

    Rust desk is super based. And their software performs MILES better than Teamviewer’s shitty compression ever did.

    Sentient_Modem ,

    Super based? Am I getting old? What does that even mean?

    llii ,

    It means it’s great.

    Sorry you had to find out this way, but yes- your hip and fly is gone!

    taiyang ,

    Thanks, I’ll look into it also. I needed this a couple weeks ago but better late than never!

    hornedfiend ,

    100%. Just self host their server components,otherwise it’s kind of slow. It’s an open alternative to Anydesk,which is still miles better than TeamViewer.

    ILikeBoobies ,

    Expensive though

    I_Miss_Daniel ,

    I’m self hosting it, costs me nothing.

    ILikeBoobies ,

    Individual self-hosting plan $9.90/month

    Avatar_of_Self ,

    That’s for RustDesk Pro not RustDesk OSS.

    thurstylark ,

    …again

    MicrowavedTea ,

    I find myself adding this to a lot of hack/breach headlines lately

    catloaf ,

    Well this shouldn’t be a problem after the last time they got hacked, because they denied it and blamed the users, so everyone switched to a better product. Not to mention the extortionate rate hikes. Right?

    JJROKCZ ,

    My secops team has a hardon for teamviewer over something internal only like dameware… I just don’t get why. As soon as they mentioned going to team viewer for remote control I mentioned how terrible teamviewer has been with breaches and notifications of breaches but I think my ciso got a very nice dinner…

    cyberpunk007 ,

    In my experience, security people are not very good lol. Last 2 teams I interacted with blew my mind on what they deemed ok and not. Like contradictory kind of things.

    TheBat ,
    @TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

    Maybe you have worked at only shitty companies where good secops people didn’t want to stay for long…

    Meltrax ,

    What’s a better product? I use TeamViewer as an individual to help my technically illiterate grandparents who live across the country with tech issues. Would love an alternative if there is one.

    14th_cylon ,

    Rustdesk

    catloaf ,

    Anydesk was what I used most recently. They did also have a breach early this year, but they handled it responsibly from what I read.

    If company breaches are unacceptable, there are several selfhosted options, but I haven’t tried any so I can’t make a recommendation.

    AlecSadler ,

    Rustdesk is great. I’ve also used AnyDesk.

    Recently I’ve used Parsec on a couple systems and it’s zippy, but I can’t get keyboard shortcuts to work for some reason.
