http://news.softpedia.com/news/teamv...d-504758.shtml
Something happened with TeamViewer's servers on June 1, as all clues pointed to a massive breach after many users went on Reddit and complained about having their computers hacked, some even reporting seeing new purchases in their PayPal accounts.
The problems started around noon, when users weren't able to connect to the TeamViewer network. Then, the company's website also went down, but the team managed to bring it back online a few hours later.
TeamViewer says it's only having technical issues, no security breach
On Twitter, the TeamViewer team wrote that they're only experiencing issues in some parts of their network, but they denied any security breach, at least on their side. The company later addressed this issue in a statement to Softpedia saying their DNS server suffered a DDoS attack.
About the same time this was happening, some users complained on Redit about finding new transactions in their PayPal accounts while others have discovered someone had been poking around their email account.
Some luckier users say they barely avoided getting hacked at the last minute, noticing their mouse started to move across the screen and hurrying to disconnect from the Internet. We've attached more screenshots of some of the user complaints as reference.
