TeamViewer is a remote desktop connection software that allows users to share screens and allow remote access from anywhere in the world. In the past 24 hours, many customers have claimed their computers were maliciously accessed by hackers. Hackers are accessing the computers late at night, out of standard USA working hours, and accessing bank accounts using saved browser passwords, or installing forms of ransomware. As of 12 p.m. Wednesday, the TeamViewer website remains offline, with their Twitter being the only form of comment so far from the company.

We are currently experiencing issues in parts of our network. We apologize for any inconveniences caused.

Over the past 24 hours, customers have taken their concerns to Reddit to share their concerns. There are user reports of both PayPal and bank accounts being hacked.

This is not TeamViewer’s first time experiencing difficult fighting against hackers. Just one week ago, TeamViewer deflected any claimed they had problems on their end with security, placing the blame back on the user.

“I was using a strong password that was unique to TeamViewer and they still got in and cleaned out my bank account. They logged in and used ChromePass to see my passwords stored in Chrome.” says ShatteredAutumn, a Reddit user.
