Happened to my friend about 3 weeks ago and he's a fairy savvy computer user. Had 5k extracted from PayPal which has just been recovered. All my friends have now uninstalled team viewer if they had it installed.

Did you friend use the login system or the auto-number login generator?

He said login. TeamViewer was always logged in and running in the background.

But the alleged dns hack only happened a few days ago?

Yes, but the hacks have been happening for a longer period of time.
