I asked why they wouldn't even notify on an account that's never been accessed from outside the country and they had no answers. It took me a week to get it all fixed, which isn't that bad.
It took me all of 5 minutes to realize what was happening and change my Paypal password and in that time, several grand was spent. I was at a customer site installing a new Asterisk phone system and suddenly I get notifications from Paypal that I'm buying large amounts of virtual currency with NCSoft. I had a "strong" password, using letters, numbers and symbols. But they will now notify users whenever a new device logs in to a TeamViewer account, and in the future will also require a new password whenever suspicious account activity is detected.īack in February, I had Team Viewer running 24/7 on an Ubuntu Desktop. "We are appalled by the behaviour of cyber criminals, and are disgusted by their actions towards TeamViewer users," reads the company's statement. It suggests that recent high profile security breaches - such as the password dumps from MySpace and LinkedIn - have allowed cyber criminals to learn TeamViewer log in credentials. The company says are in the habit of reusing the same passwords for a number of apps and services. But TeamViewer insists that there has not been a security breach, instead shifting the blame to users. In addition to this, users of the remote access tool have complained of funds being extracted from PayPal and bank accounts. Mark Wilson writes: In the last couple of weeks there have been a huge number of reports from TeamViewer users that their computers have been hijacked.
