Hey guys, I uninstalled Teamviewer and left feedback saying that it was because of the recent breach. This is what they replied - I honestly do not believe them:
Dear User,
Thank you for your message.
We highly appreciate the trust you place in us and respect the responsibility we have to ensure your privacy. This is why we always feel a strong need to take all necessary steps to safeguard your data.
As you have probably heard, there have been unprecedented large scale data thefts on popular social media platforms and other web service providers. Unfortunately, credentials stolen in these external breaches have been used to access TeamViewer accounts, as well as other services.
We are appalled by the behavior of cyber criminals, and are disgusted by their actions towards TeamViewer users. They have taken advantage of common use of the same account information across multiple services to cause damage.
TeamViewer has not been breached or hacked. In fact, because TeamViewer account authentication uses the Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) – we do not store any password-equivalent data.
We are determined to continue extending our security measures for you. We do not take your trust lightly, nor do we accept any compromise on data security. Please take the following recommendations to heart:
• Protect any user account you own - whether it is with TeamViewer or any another service – by using unique and secure passwords that are frequently changed.
• Ensure you have reliable anti-malware and security solutions in place at all times.
• Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible, such as with TeamViewer.

Our support team is happy to answer any of your potential queries at: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/contact/submit-a-ticket/
We recommend that if you suspect that you have been the victim of criminal activities to get in touch with your local police department, in order to report your case. This is particularly important because TeamViewer is subject to very strict data protection and privacy regulations, and can release sensitive data only to authorized individuals and authorities.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best regards
