A similar scam took place in 2020 according to Kashmir Cyber police. After permissions are obtained and if no other security measures are in place, the scammers usually transfer money using the Indian Unified Payment Interface. Then, the scammers convince the victim to provide the nine-digit access code and to grant certain permissions. The general scam procedure is as follows: fraudsters get victims to download AnyDesk from the Google Play Store on their mobile phone, usually by mimicking the customer service of legitimate companies. In February 2019, Reserve Bank of India warned of an emerging digital banking fraud, explicitly mentioning AnyDesk as the attack channel. This provides the host user with full access to the guest computer over the Internet, and, like all remote desktop applications, is a severe security risk if connected to an untrusted host. Abuses ĪnyDesk can be optionally installed on computers and smartphones with full administrative permissions, if the user chooses to do so. Additionally, whitelisting of incoming connections is possible. When a direct network connection can be established, the session is endpoint encrypted and its data is not routed through AnyDesk servers. Every connection between AnyDesk-Clients is secured with AES-256. Auto-Discovery (automatic analysis of local network)ĪnyDesk uses TLS-1.2 with authenticated encryption.Remote access for multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, etc.).Features Īvailability of features is dependent upon the license of the individual user.
With its three megabyte total program size, AnyDesk is an especially lightweight application. Software ĪnyDesk uses a proprietary video codec "DeskRT" that is designed to allow users to experience higher-quality video and sound transmission while reducing the transmitted amount of data to the minimum.
Another round of investment in January 2020 brings AnyDesk to over 20 million Dollars of combined funding. In May 2018, AnyDesk secured 6.5 million Euros of funding in a Series A round led by EQT Ventures. AnyDesk Software GmbH was founded in 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany and has gone worldwide, with subsidiaries in the US, China, and Hong Kong, as well as an Innovation Hub in Georgia.
