Teamviewer has a history of lying about serious security breaches. The company's networks have been breached before and they literally spent years denying it and blaming it on their customers: https://www.securityweek.com/teamviewer-confirms-it-was-hacked-2016/

The spokesperson also clarified that the cyberattack was not in any way related to the 2016 incident that led many to believe the company’s systems had been breached. At the time, many users reported that their computers were accessed by hackers through TeamViewer, but the company blamed the incidents on password reuse.
