Might want to think twice about your use of TeamViewer for the time being:

Bit of a breach

Holy crap! Imagine your computer starting up due to wake-on-lan, then opening a browser and logging into your banking site for which you told the browser to remember the password, then transferring all your money to some other account...

Looks like they got part of mine.  I just got a notice from Google that someone from Redmond USA tried my password on my GMAIL account.  So while I've locked them out of my TeamViewer they already have my password.

I am most interested in if this requires a team viewer account or just having the program installed.


Also it appears they install a browser password extractor as when they do it be sure to check your registry for indications of exposure.

It requires a team viewer account for sure is my understanding.
