Teamviewer Hacked?

[Kadeschs]

After being hacked, I've enable multi-factor authentication and now I get the following error sporadically when trying to connect from any Windows machine:  No connection to partner!  Partner did not connect to router.  Error Code: WaitforConnectFailed.  Sometimes it connects, many times it doesn't.

When using any iOS device, I have to connect to all computers twice.  The first attempt fails and the second attempt always works.

I'm on TV version 11.0.59518.  Is TV ready for prime time yet?

Looks like this has happened to enough people for it to finally blow up on Reddit:

Hi,

Protecting your personal data is at the very core of everything we do. As you have probably heard, there have been unprecedented large scale data thefts on popular social media platforms and other web service providers. Unfortunately, credentials stolen in these external breaches have been used to access TeamViewer accounts, as well as other services. The cyber criminals behind these thefts have taken advantage of common use of the same account information across multiple services to cause damage.

To do our utmost to help you - our users - and to further strengthen the protection of your data against these hijacks of cyber criminals, we are globally rolling out improved security measures. It is important to underscore that TeamViewer account authentication uses the Secure Remote Password protocol, and therefore does not store any password-equivalent data.

Please find more information about the measures in our official statement under https://www.teamviewer.com/en/company/press/teamviewer-launches-trusted-devices-and-data-integrity/

We experienced an outage on Wednesday and because of this there still may be some connection issues in some regions. It may take some time until all regions are back to regular service. You will find more info on the outage here: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/company/press/statement-on-service-outage/

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
Fabian - TeamViewer
