Rigzone Founder Caught Stealing Data
Over the last few months, officials have been piecing together the case against Rigzone founder, David Kent. After selling the Rigzone domain several years ago, Kent used several backdoors he’d implemented to access account information for over 700,000 customers, which he then attempted to sell back to Rigzone. By setting up several dummy accounts, Rigzone staff determined the specific IP address Kent used and apprehend him.
Criminals Hack Eastern Europe Bank for Millions
In the last year, banks in several Eastern European countries have seen a drastic rise in fraudulent charges at ATMs that have allowed hackers to make off with nearly $40 million dollars. Attackers start by manipulating the banks overdraft protection and setting up proxies to allow accomplices in other countries withdraw massive quantities of money from separate accounts. In addition to spoofing the overdraft system, the attackers also installed remote access software on bank computers to enable further intrusion to the institution’s systems.

the link above isnt really helpful, "what is wrong with teamviewer"... the answer is that his company IT was blocking it. not TV's fault.
Forget all the expensive paid products out there. Use this one http://skyfex.com/
I started using it as teamviewer alternative when some clients blocked TV in their environment.
Its is mostly Free and have all the option you ever need.

If you've ever provided Telephone or Remote support to non technically minded computer folks, I'll bet you've faced the challenge of how to get them not to type a web address you're giving them by phone into Google, Bing, Yahoo (or any other search engine they might favor) rather than enter it into a browsers address bar.
I've been using the following trick for a while and think I've managed to save some of my hair as a result!
Support.me is just a web alias for the Logmein Rescue app that I subscribe to. Do you have any favorite tricks you like using when giving telephone support? Please share them in the Comments section below.
Hit the thumbs up button if you hadn't heard of (or forgotten about) this useful shortcut :-)

- Tell them to open their favorite web browser
- Press CTRL + L (instruct client not to touch any other keys)
- Tell them to type the web address you need them to go to - like support.me

I'm constantly using CTRL+SHIFT+T to recover tabs I've closed recently, and CTRL+T to open new tabs. I'm on Chrome.

Even in the early days of Windows, when I was doing phone support I would not have a caller drag and drop files, since they inevitably end up accidentally dropping them in the wrong place. I tend to favour R-click Copy and R-click Paste... or even resorting to the command line for particularly tricky situations.
This may be less prevalent nowadays with using remote connections rather than guide the caller. However these are still helpful tricks for bad or slow remote connections.
