Piriform says that the versions of its software that were compromised are CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud. Piriform is urging all CCleaner users to download version 5.34 or higher as soon as possible. It is worth noting that users of CCleaner Cloud will have received the update automatically. However, other CCleaner users may still be running the compromised version, so updating manually is extremely important for those consumers. It is not yet known how hackers managed to hide the malevolent code within the official version of CCleaner. We also immediately contacted law enforcement units and worked with them on resolving the issue.” "Non Sensitive" Data Stolen “We found that the version of CCleaner and the version of CCleaner Cloud was illegally modified before it was released to the public, and we started an investigation process.
So far Piriform has been able to ascertain that the malware was communicating with a Command and Control (CnC) server located in the US. Hackers appear to have used the malware to harvest what the firm describes as “non-sensitive” data. That data includes the user’s computer name, IP address, a comprehensive list of installed software on their machine, a list of active software, and list of network adapters.
