The ramifications of this breach are profound. Cybercriminals who gained access to the AnyDesk portal could glean valuable information about customers, including license keys, active connections, session durations, contact information, email addresses, and the number of managed remote access hosts, all with their online/offline status and IDs. Such details open up a plethora of malicious possibilities.

In light of this breach, AnyDesk customers must take proactive steps to protect their accounts and data. Password changes alone are insufficient. AnyDesk offers a whitelist feature, enabling users to specify who can connect to their devices, adding an extra layer of security. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is strongly recommended to enhance account protection. Organizations should also monitor for any unexpected password and MFA changes, suspicious sessions, and emails referencing AnyDesk accounts from unknown sources.

Are there any good alternatives these days for occasional remote management of a Win10 machine from a Linux desktop? I do occasional support for a club, and it's helpful to not have to go there.

Used to use logMeIn. Then TeamViewer (but they got popped too). Then AnyDesk. Contemplating I might need to just TailScale and use RDP, but I need to be able to do it with no interaction at the remote end.
