If you guys use Teamviewer for remote access to your computer, you're going to want to read these threads on Reddit right away: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/4m7ay6/teamviewer_has_been_hacked_they_are_denying/

1. TeamViewer has been hacked. They are denying everything and pointing fingers at the users

Very troubling! I've used it in the past but I've uninstalled it from my PC.

Honestly, I suspect that mostly only affects business level users, who need the easier access without authentication on the computer side, or personal users who are idiots and set it up to log into the computer on the other end without a password. Anytime TV tries to connect to my home PC, the PC requests a password, totally separate from anything on the TV side of things.
