TeamViewer Hack Allows Computer Hijacking
Return To ArticleTeamViewer is a popular remote-support software that lets you securely share your desktop or take full control of other’s PC over the Internet from anywhere in the world.
For a remote session to work both computers—the client (presenter) and the server (viewer)—must have the software installed, and the client has to share a secret authentication code with the person he wants to share his desktop.
However, a GitHub user named “Gellin” has disclosed a vulnerability in TeamViewer that could allow the client (sharing its desktop session) to gain control of the viewer’s computer without permission.
