AnyDesk Software GmbH, the German company behind the widely used (and misused) remote desktop application of the same name, has confirmed they’ve been hacked and their production systems have been compromised.

The statement was published on Friday evening and lacks technical details about the breach. The incident is not related to ransomware, they added.
