The connection is encrypted, and as long as you set the 'Personal password (for unattended access)', you can't access your computer without knowing that password even from your own account. Several have mentioned 'security issues' with TeamViewer, which I have no idea what they're talking about. Probably something low level.Īgreed, I've used TeamViewer for quite some time, and I've never had this sort of thing happen. If a virus scan comes up negative, I would nuke from orbit. Sounds like the machine is already rooted and they just used Teamviewer to open up a browser and launder some money in Runescape - they could have done far more, but instead chose to only do that - so it is kind of telling. I have never had this happen, but seems to me that we're missing something here. Even so with RuneScape, if your account is banned it's still FTP (Free-to-play) so you can create another account and do the same thing over again if you were banned. The only thing you'd have to be worried about is your logs being pulled for the suspicious activity of large gold trades. If you think about it, it's actually pretty smart if you know how to deal your cards right. That in itself would be a minor red flag but when you're looking at it from a different perspective, there could be tons of reasons as to why they just made a huge gold trade for no reason. Therefore the only red flag that it'll throw up is someone 'giving' another player a large sum of gold. The logs will only show a trade being made if no chat between the two parties are happening. I mean there's limited red flags that the outside eyes see with two players making a normal trade. I was very intrigued when I learnt this as well. I'd definitely contact Paypal although I'm a bit skeptical that they'll be able to help.Very interesting. They'll purchase the in-game with whatever method in which they've breached and then they'll use the buy/sell process of virtual currency to wash their hands, they'll then take that cash and purchase BitCoins and wash their hands yet again into the virtual world of gaming coming out pretty clean. I know a few hackers that will wash their hands with in-game currency using WoW. Hackers are using in-game currency to aide in their secrecy. Hopefully you unsave all your passwords etc.
