RMM software developer TeamViewer says a Russian state-sponsored hacking group known as Midnight Blizzard is believed to be behind a breach of their corporate network this week.
TeamViewer says they believe their internal corporate network, not their production environment, was breached on Wednesday, June 26, using an employee's credentials.
"Current findings of the investigation point to an attack on Wednesday, June 26, tied to credentials of a standard employee account within our Corporate IT environment," reads the updated TeamViewer statement.
"Following best-practice architecture, we have a strong segregation of the Corporate IT, the production environment, and the TeamViewer connectivity platform in place," continues TeamViewer's statement.
It is recommended that all TeamViewer customers enable multi-factor authentication, set up an allow and block list so only authorized users can make connections, and monitor their network connections and TeamViewer logs.
TeamViewer's corporate network was breached in alleged APT hack.
