In light of all the reported hacks and the comments from TeamViewer (they blame users security) anyone who uses it to help out

While it can be agreed that large numbers of compromised passwords are for sale on the internet and lots of folk use the same password for a number of places, there is still a lingering doubt as to why other folk who have good security practices in place are getting hacked.
