This week brings more research, showing the problem’s almost four times as big as we thought. And major public websites are still using it—including government services.
It’s quite a worry. In #SBBlogwatch, we daren’t even breathe on this house of cards. At #TechstrongGroup’s #SecurityBlvd:

#TeamViewer says “compromised employee account” led to a #Russian breach. While TV makes reassuring noises about its segmented network, it also said the tool was installed on more than 2.5B devices.
That’s a worry, despite calming PR. In #SBBlogwatch, we wonder why TeamViewer didn’t enforce #MFA.
