  • Hackers used CC Cleaner to distribute malware

    Hackers managed to hijack a popular PC cleanup tool, CCleaner, meaning that anyone who downloaded or updated it between mid-August to mid-September also downloaded malware without realizing it.

    The bug affects anyone who downloaded CCleaner version 5.33 or updated their version between August 15 and September 12. Talos is advising anyone who's worried to roll back their systems to a time before August 15, or reinstall them. They will also need to update to the latest version of CCleaner 5.34.

        This only affects x86 (32bit) systems. Fortunately for me, it's not the case.
