CCleaner

If you use ccleaner and you’re still on v5.33.6162 –update!

There has been an unauthorized modification of the CCleaner.exe binary, someone hacked it and “installed” a backdoor.

Piriform was able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm, the malware server (receiving data from infected clients) was taken down before any harm was done to customers, but an update will remove the backdoor completely.
