Here is a thread on it: https://infosec.exchange/@jtig/112689665815283809

  • So far "there is no evidence to suggest that the product environment or customer data is affected," the company says on its website.
  • TeamViewer's internal IT environment is completely independent from its product environment, the firm adds.

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can't wait to send this to him.
