  • So far “there is no evidence to suggest that the product environment or customer data is affected,” the company says on its website.
  • TeamViewer’s internal IT environment is completely independent from its product environment, the firm adds.

    RDP for Windows comes built in. VNC has a really fast install on Linux. There’s no reason not to use them and loan your remote sessions to a third party company.

        And you should not ever expose RDP or VNC to the Internet, every, for any reason, for any length of time, whatsoever.
