A lot of cyberattacks start with installation of LogMeIn. According to 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR), a very common tactic used by intruders involves installation of remote control software. Quite a few registered attacks used email phishing techniques asking users to call an IT helpdesk to resolve a certain problem. When those users called a fictitious helpdesk, the cybercriminals picked up on the phone. Sounding very professionally, they asked users to install LogMeIn as the first step. Giving them installation URLs, they walked users through installation and then effectively took control of their computers as a stepping stone to accessing corporate files stored on a corporate network.
Any newly installed software on your company’s workstations can be the first alert indicating a data breaches at a very early stage. Monitoring all LogMeIn installation events and proactively blocking all unauthorized installations it is a critical procedure that shall be performed by all departments on an ongoing basis.

EXE (‘executable’) files, such as join.me.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you double-click an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions created by the program developer (for example, Logmein, Inc.) to launch a program (for example, Join.Me) on your computer.
Each software application on your computer uses an executable file: your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. This makes executable files one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like join.me.exe, you could not use any programs on your computer.
