If you’re using a remote access product that is as water right as a fishing net, and have years of history of them fucking around with security (account takeover controversy in 2016, didn’t have default 2fa until 2018), you’re kinda in the neighborhood of getting what you deserve. This is like being on Facebook and complaining that fuckerberg is spying on you and using your data to feed their AI.
If this was still the mid teens, I’d give people a pass. But TeamViewer has been a trash product for longer than my kid has been alive, and anyone still using it should have done their due diligence on the software they chose (negligence doesn’t mean they deserve it, but it’s hard to feel sympathy when they chose to not do the research on a service that has direct access to your systems), or already accepted the risks of using it (so they absolutely deserve it)
If anyone is still using teamviewer after the many breaches they had, they deserve this ;-)
Not only because of the breaches they had, We knew they were breached, they lied about it. Fuck them.
Why would they deserve this?
Not necessarily the users, per sé, but the corporations who refuse to learn from mistakes.

Yeah even Windows has Quick Assist built in.
