TeamViewer Servers Go Down, Users Believe They Are Hacked (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Softpedia: Something is happening with TeamViewers servers at the moment, and all clues point to a massive breach that has led to many users going on Reddit and complaining about having their computers hacked. Some users have reported finding new transactions in their PayPal and bank accounts, while others discovered someone had been poking around their email account. Other lucky users said they barely avoided getting hacked at the last minute, noticing their mouse starting to move across the screen, and hurrying to disconnect their Internet connection. 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. In the past months, we've seen malware use TeamViewer many times to infect computers, but most of those cases were because of users who used weak passwords, which is certainly not TeamViewer's fault. It is strange that this time around, just when TeamViewer servers go down, multiple users also flock to social media to complain about getting hacked. This is either one huge strange cosmic coincidence or TeamViewer is really at fault and won't be able to pin the blame on its users. On a semi-related note, PayPal will be suspending their business operations in Turkey after failing to obtain a new license for its service in the country.
Which raises the question: Is BeauHD actually an AI bot?

Most likely TV has been compromised.
TV was compromised a long time ago, with the introduction of the first ad break. It all started to fall to pieces and now we have at most 30 minutes of mind numbing soap operas and breaking news to the hour. The rest is advertising. And don't make me start on 'live' sport events.
Oh, wait, you were talking about something else, not TV.
