If this thread is to be believed their statement about TeamViewers products being unaffected is likely not true.

    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?

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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…

        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.
