If this thread is to be believed their statement about TeamViewers products being unaffected is likely not true.

But there whole business plan is to perform MIM attacks as a feature.

Thank you, TeamViewer, for flagging my personal use of your software as commercial. I immediately uninstalled it from all my devices, and installed RustDesk in its stead. This was just earlier this year, so you could not have dropped the ball at a better time for me. :)

There’s a built-in alternative on Windows I remember. Not opensourced though

Yes, but you need Windows Professional to act as a server. Windows Home editions can only act as a client.

Based on current findings of the investigation, the attack was contained within the Corporate IT environment and there is no evidence that the threat actor gained access to our product environment or customer data.

If it were a company other than TeamViewer I’d probably believe them, but since it’s TeamViewer, they could just as easily be lying since they have lied in the past about breaches IIRC.
