Ammyy


Ammyy (sometimes called AMMYY) was a company which created the remote desktop software called Ammyy Admin.[1] It was often used by scammers who cold-call homes to try to gain access to their computer.[2][3][4]

Since 2011 the company has issued warnings about these scammers who abuse their software against its intended purposes.[5]
