[QUOTE="509322, post: 746327"] Remember the great CCleaner hub-bub ? Anyone remember the pages on top of pages of ridiculous nonsense posted about it across the forums ? Only recently have pertinent details been released - many months later. In a word... TeamViewer. SC Media [URL='https://www.scmagazine.com/bradley--barth/author/3635/']by Bradley Barth, Senior Reporter[/URL] April 24, 2018 [B]CCleaner attackers gained access to app developer's network via TeamViewer[/B] [URL='https://www.scmagazine.com/ccleaner-attackers-gained-access-to-app-developers-network-via-teamviewer/article/760838/']CCleaner attackers gained access to app developer's network via TeamViewer[/URL] * * * * * It just proves that initial reactions to the latest reports of this or that hack, exploit, malware or whatever the IT Security News is milking for every last click-bait are blown way, way out of proportion. Peoples' reactions are irrational and the nonsense spouted flows like a wide and mighty river. [/QUOTE]
