Hackers have penetrated TeamViewer’s corporate environment. It is unclear what damage they could cause. The production environment appears unharmed.

Criminals gained access to TeamViewer’s corporate network last Wednesday, June 26. It is unclear what exactly the hackers did wrong and whether they were able to cause significant damage.

“Our team has identified an anomaly in TeamViewer’s internal operating environment,” the company said in an update on the hack. “We immediately activated our response team and, together with a team of renowned experts, initiated an investigation while taking the necessary measures.”

TeamViewer emphasizes that its IT business environment is separate from the production environment. There is currently no evidence that the hackers have gained access to the production environment where customer data is located. The company states that the investigation is ongoing.

Semi-transparent

TeamViewer stresses that it considers transparent communication to be important. The company will publish new information on this page.

The consequences of the hack for customers do not seem to be that great for now. Thank goodness, because TeamViewer makes its living by giving users easy remote access to computers. The remote desktop solution has around 640,000 customers. This makes TeamViewer a possible way for criminals to break into other companies through the front door. Attackers have abused the tool before.
