TeamViewer Breached

[Philip Elder]

Some folks ain’t gonna have any sleep over the next while.

What a Charlie Foxtrot.

 

We will never, ever, EVER, trust a Black Box ever.

 

We’d just about signed up with ConnectWise years ago when the announcement hit that they were breached. That was the last time we considered ever allowing a third party, a Black Box, anywhere near us or our clients.

 

Then SolarWinds. Then ConnectWise again. Now TeamViewer.

 

Oh, and folks post snips of their TeamViewer codes on Slack and elsewhere so their desktops are freaking OPEN to the world.

 

Reminds me of the Remote VNC situation back in the day where someone on Twitter was snipping their access to foundries and other such big “bombs” where they could jack the furnaces to max and watch the fireworks.
