Thank you for that link. As already known to all, an unknown technical exploit in Teamviewer nor Win7(32) was at fault. I'm guessing that since the same login credentials were used by all of the water treament plants, some bozo either told another worker what the login creds were over the phone and their kids everheard everything, or the creds were simply written down on a post-it note attached to a monitor at home that any kid could see. Or.. I wonder.. if Teamviewer can keylog un and pw and some adventurous sole at Teamviewer decided to take advantage of that? -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.48 * Origin: (} Pointy McPointface (618:250/1.9) |
