TeamViewer users are being hacked in bulk, and we still don't know how
http://arstechnica.co.uk/security/2016/06/teamviewer-users-hacked-but-how/
For more than a month, users of the remote login service
TeamViewer have taken to Internet forums to report their
computers have been ransacked by attackers who somehow gained
access to their accounts. In many of the cases, the online
burglars reportedly drained PayPal or bank accounts. No one
outside of TeamViewer knows precisely how many accounts have
been hacked, but there's no denying the breaches are
widespread.

TeamViewer has also long been the favored tool of fake support scammers.
