CCleaner malware outbreak is much worse than it first appeared

Now that it's known the CCleaner backdoor actively installed a payload that went largely undetected for more than a month, Williams renewed his advice that people who installed the 32-bit version of CCleaner 5.33.6162 or CCleaner Cloud 1.07.3191 reformat their hard drives. He said simply removing the stage-one infection is insufficient given the proof now available that the second stage can survive and remain stealthy.

The fact that infecting an update chain is feasible and lets us get infected by updating a legit program sure is scary.
