Threatened by Anonymous, Symantec tells users to pull pcAnywhere's plug
Source code leaked years ago, but now Anonymous hacking group has software in its sights

We long ago stopped using PCAnywhere and went to Logmein. Even that is not allowed if the customer is processing credit cards. I hear tell of a story that a certain restaurant franchisee had PCA installed on his machine with the default password and got several credit cards stolen from the Russian hackers. It created quite a stir and led to the legislation and the corporate mandating that all affiliates use a security company to protect the data.
Since their stores were all in a 50-mile radius, it didn't affedt me much, but I now have to go to the site to do maintenance.

Per Carl Navarro:
Has anybody verified or disproved the TeamViewer publisher's claim that TeamViewer is approved for use in the German banking industry (and, by implication, is pretty tight...)?
I've been using TeamViewer for a number of years now and can't figure out why anybody would use anything else. But all I use it for is personal stuff, not business.
