A TeamViewer spokesman speaking with Arstechnica said that ‘the number of takeovers was “significant,” but he continued to maintain that the compromises are the result of user passwords that were compromised through a cluster of recently exposed megabreaches.’ Some users, however, also reported breaches even when 2FA was used, but TeamViewer is said to have investigated these instances when log files were provided and found no evidence of 2FA being breached.
