Ars Technica reports that some users who keep Teamviewer running might be vulnerable to attacks where the attacker will log into your machine and perform malicious actions such as attempting to dump passwords (possibly also installing keyloggers and such), steal login credentials and even transfer money to the attacker.
Attackers are possibly trying passwords from other websites that were hacked (e.g.: linkedin, mint forums, etc), meaning that users should be using unique passwords for their teamviewer account.
Those who keep teamviewer running are advised to turn on security features such as two-factor authentication, as well as change their passwords.
