As a casual Bitcoin user, if you have ever hired an external developer or perhaps used TeamViewer as a drop-in solution to gain remote access to your home or work computer, then those connection points are now likely compromised.

According to a source who goes by the name of /u/Macdonjo on Reddit, the company is attempting to silence articles and publications through threats:
“We were basically forced to change what the article said, based on what TeamViewer wanted us to say about them.”
