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.

VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

And you should not ever expose RDP or VNC to the Internet, every, for any reason, for any length of time, whatsoever.
