- So far “there is no evidence to suggest that the product environment or customer data is affected,” the company says on its website.

RDP for Windows comes built in. VNC has a really fast install on Linux. There’s no reason not to use them and loan your remote sessions to a third party company.
RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.
RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.
Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.
VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.
And you should not ever expose RDP or VNC to the Internet, every, for any reason, for any length of time, whatsoever.
RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.
