I am sorry but i dont believe it, i have read through that thread. It all bluff.

Put it this way had they been hacked you would see many more sites other than redit reporting it. (all sites that are reporting it are 1. small sites 2. the source is reddit)
Also if they are caught by the law then they are in big trouble it would make no sense for them to deny it.

I believe one thing, that all these people use the same password as linked-in and they were hacked.

The rest of the people in my opinion are lying or are reps from other competitions

You are unbelievable.
1. Reddit has been a source of news many times over. In fact half these big sites get many of  their news stories by browsing reddit.
2. User accounts from 2008 are paid shills?
3. You haven't read tech news in the last few decades. Nearly every single hacking incident is either initially swept aside or grossly underestimated by the hacked company.
4. Some users are saying they used 2FA or unique passwords and were still hacked. Nothing to do with password reuse. https://m.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/comments/4jr9qn/hacked_trough_teamviewer_1800_spent_on_paypal/d3a5tcf
5. There are logs showing remote login from China.

Can i know why there has not been any BIG company besides the op story?

I am sorry but i still don't believe it.

I want to see logs of all those "claiming to be hacked"

Why would they outright deny it?

Why dont we see mass hacking why is there only a few storys (i did not see on that thread more than 15 claims)

Please show me what storys in hacking that started from reddit

Switch to password keeper (dont use chrome to save your password)

Set your computer to auto lock and set a diff password for remote access

You can change the access settings to require acknowledgement from the local computer. Look in advanced settings.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

True or not you can't deny that Reddit is one of the biggest sources of news on the web.

Nope just went through that thread (the second one you posted).

Common denom,

Email comp = Yes.
Use same password on another site = Yes.
Posted a log = No

I dont need that but i still do not believe that they would outright deny. 

If people are stupid and use the same password for everything, then all the security in the world wont help!

Here's some log info:
https://www.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/comments/4m6omd/teamviewer_breach_masterthread_please_post_your/d3t5jaa

Looks like there are a whole bunch of reports in that thread of people who had unique passwords and still got hacked.

I disagree read again there was no "bunch of people" that had unique.

I saw maybe 2 logs no more than that.

Again, this info is worth millons why dont we see any major hacking.

There was just a hack on linked in and other sites many many people (stupidly) use the same password.

I will ask the same question again, why in the world would they outright deny if they are caught they will be in big trouble.

Do you need more? I went through less than 10% of the thread. It looks to me like it's around 50-50.

I think we need an IP check to see if Yakov is posting from TeamViewer HQ.

Damage control. Someone wasn't thinking about the fallout, and now they can't back down.
