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

I’m glad Rustdesk exists.
“RustDesk is a full-featured open source remote control alternative for self-hosting and security with minimal configuration.”
Rust desk is super based. And their software performs MILES better than Teamviewer’s shitty compression ever did.
Super based? Am I getting old? What does that even mean?
It means it’s great.
so basically groovy or far out.
Radical.
That’s heavy.
Dope
You keep saying that. Is there something wrong with Earth’s gravity in the future?
Sorry you had to find out this way, but yes- your hip and fly is gone!
It means we are getting old.
TIL, thanks!
Thanks, I’ll look into it also. I needed this a couple weeks ago but better late than never!
100%. Just self host their server components,otherwise it’s kind of slow. It’s an open alternative to Anydesk,which is still miles better than TeamViewer.
Expensive though
I’m self hosting it, costs me nothing.
Individual self-hosting plan $9.90/month
That’s for RustDesk Pro not RustDesk OSS.
…again
They used to get hacked. They still do, but they used to too.
You want to see a picture of me when I was younger?
I want to see a picture of you from when you are going to be older
…again
I find myself adding this to a lot of hack/breach headlines lately
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.
I’ve never heard of TeamViewer being used for anything but refund scams and the like.
I used to use it for remote management of my personal computer until Teamviewer flagged cookie clicker as commercial software and locked my account.
I use it to become the remote tech support person whenever my dad has trouble using his phone lol
You can use it for PHONES?! That’s a pretty dope use case actually.
I know a professional software that has it bundled for support calls.
Noted! I think I’ve watched too much Kitboga. But I’m not stopping.
my company used it for remote support
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. :)
as is tradition
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.
But there whole business plan is to perform MIM attacks as a feature.
