  Yes, there have been reported cases of scammers using TeamViewer to target cryptocurrency investors. These scammers often gain access to victims' computers through phishing emails or malware, and then use TeamViewer to remotely control the victims' computers. Once they have control, they can steal sensitive information, such as login credentials or private keys, and gain unauthorized access to the victims' cryptocurrency wallets. It's important to always be cautious and verify the authenticity of any remote access requests, especially when it comes to sensitive financial information.

  I haven't personally heard of any specific cases involving TeamViewer scams targeting cryptocurrency investors, but it's always a good idea to stay vigilant and take precautions to protect your investments. Make sure to use strong, unique passwords for your cryptocurrency accounts and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. Additionally, be cautious of any unsolicited requests for remote access to your computer or cryptocurrency wallets. If something seems suspicious, it's better to be safe than sorry and avoid granting access.
