      Supposedly wasn't hacked. was just reusing password people had else where that were already stolen.

      That is the official TV line, but since people with 2FA were compromised it doesn't ring true to me.

      But none of the reports are Verified. Just random people posting about it..

      http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/01/teamviewer_mass_breach_report/

      At least one person has a verified online identity, and would have a great deal to lose being outed as lying about a TV breach.

      You mean the Twitch streamer named Doug? I clicked through that link to his profile yesterday. Not all that big of a deal with only 100 followers. So how much does he stand to lose?

      He did not post anything solid about this, as linked by the article at least. His twitter lists him as a casual streamer. https://twitter.com/goombamunki

      And he might even gain more people just from the publicity of it.. so it's a win/win for him.

        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.

                        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.

                                        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.
