Teamviewer hacked
-
Reading his twitter feed, everything they lost was because passwords were stored.
I store passwords via LastPass only. I have LastPass set to expire a session 5 minutes after all browsers are closed. The risk there for me is I do often leave a browser session open overnight. I need to change my settings or my habit.
That said, I believe shit happened with TeamViewer. Just specifically what is the issue at hand.

Until the drama settles, I'm going to replace TV with something else. Any recommendations for free (as in free beer), cross platform (Win, OS X, Linux) solution that supports 2 FA?

We really like ScreenConnect, but it isn't free.

For a very short while I guess.. No information on it now..

I believe TV is privately held. I know LMI is owned by MS though.

LMI isn't owned by Microsoft. LMI does own LastPass and Xmarks now though.

News to me. Looks private still. But these things are sometimes well hidden or through third parties.
[My feed was delayed, I missed the conversation after the original post.]

I have never really liked it. It was decent for a free to use product. I never liked their price, because other purchasable solutions were better.

Yeah I should quantify that, for the free version. They were definitely pricey. (Though very willing to negotiate.)

Always found it so ridiculously expensive. Good product, but never cost competitive.

Their competition starts much lower and is also willing to negotiate.
