There is a more official statement from TV as well. https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Announcements/FireEye-cl...

> TeamViewer is safe to use

How often has that been true? TV has been hacked more than once AFAIK.

Just as safe as it always was! \(^O^)/

TV gives full access to computers through passwords and it seems it's not brute-force resistant. Think about how long an SSH server with password enabled and no autoban would last in the open...

Edit: nevermind, the attack is apparently through some malware.

quite long? unless you're using a bad password I don't really see any risk other than filling logs from password attempts.

Most useless statement in the history of mankind.
