LINUX USERS special note: GRAB YOUR LOG FILES BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL TEAMVIEWER Important information about the log files from u/thingfour If you still feel scared, cuddle a blanket or a soft toy! How can I stay safe? Best way at the moment in time till it is confirmed what method is being used to attack TV users is to stop TV from running completely, or uninstall it for the time being. It is advised to do a full wipe of you computer as you have no idea what they may have hidden. Password managers are highly recommended.
Using another computer than is clean, reset all of your passwords. Other signs are checking your browser history for sites you haven't been on, checking your emails for any new purchases (they have started to delete these emails), checking your PayPal accounts, checking your card statements and check the log files of TV. If you are unsure what to do, unplug your router. How do I know I have been compromised? If you are sat at your machine, you will see someone take over it, of this happens, disconnect them and remove any internet access. There have also been reports of them installing malware. Popular ones seem to be Amazon, PayPal, eBay. What are the attackers after? It looks like they are stealing login credentials for popular online shops and then going to town with these saved credentials. Many people are questioning this official response though as unconfirmed reports suggest that the DNS records were linking to China at one point.ĭoes 2FA and Whitelisting accounts keep me secure? We have no idea, we don't know how these attacks are happening. Official response is no, it was caused by a DDOS attack. The DNS outage that TV had, was this anything to do with what we are seeing now. This may well be the case, but there have been plenty of reports now that users with very secure, randomly generated and unique passwords have also had their computers compromised. Team Viewer is putting the blame, very publicly, on users having weak / compromised passwords from other site breaches.
Has Team viewer been hacked? The official response is no. Now it is stickied I feel as though I should answer some FAQ (this my first time doing anything like this so sorry for any mistakes!) This was much more widespread than what I was expecting. Is your TV Account Password the same as any other password: Is you TV Account email address listed as pwned: If you could use the format below it will make it easier to read: I feel as though this thread is really needed so we can try and find a pattern to what is going on here.
