WARNING: Popular game streaming application Remotr is breached.

Remotr has been breached, similarly to TeamViewer's breach a while back. My account and others have been connected to by unknown devices - one user even had their money stolen through PayPal when leaving this application open unattended to. Most of these issues have occurred in the past week or so.

Remotr lacks security options to prevent these issues from happening. There isn't even a connection history option. Remotr's contact options are broken and this application hasn't been updated since 2017.

I'd highly suggest for anyone who uses this program to uninstall it immediately and to change their passwords. Many of these breaches happen because of email/password lists being leaked and making it easy for programs to auto-connect to users whose passwords are lurking around on these lists. It's important to check out HaveIBeenPwned to see if any of your account information has been leaked. It's also important to NEVER leave your PayPal/banking information auto-filled.
