AnyDesk confirmed today that it suffered a recent cyberattack that allowed hackers to gain access to the company's production systems. BleepingComputer has learned that source code and private code signing keys were stolen during the attack.
Any other recommendations aside from TeamViewer? AnyDesk has been getting worse with each update. Can’t even use a free account to have a dedicated hostname anymore…
The owners are sketchy and they have closed source pro features (which was expected to be honest). They also don’t like criticism and ban accounts on reddit for questioning some of their practices (like why has a vulnerability PR not been merged for more than a year). I should know, they banned me from their subreddit for asking this and deleted my comment. I later found out that this was common practice with them.
“We can confirm that the situation is under control and it is safe to use AnyDesk.”
Yeah, nah.
