No further contact regarding a hack or data breach has been made, but users are tweeting and posting on forums about their own experiences. TeamViewer’s website went offline until around 1:00 PM, while a tweet from the company stated they were “experiencing issues in parts of network,” while the separate TeamViewer Support account stated that “we have no security breach.” Also, TeamViewer claims that there is no hack or data breach, and any account hijackings stem from reuse of passwords compromised in the recently disclosed LinkedIn, Tumblr and MySpace breaches. TeamViewer is a remote desktop connection software that allows users to share screens and allow remote access from anywhere in the world. Several reports indicate that unknown third parties are taking control of PCs and emptying their bank accounts through services like PayPal or eBay.
