CIS alerted to this issue today for the installer in my EXE folder of installers. I checked VirusTotal and the CCleaner v5.33 installer was flagged by a buttload of AV agents. I tried to submit the file and was denied; it exceeded the file size constraint.

So I Duck-Duck-Go’d the matter and Presto-Bingo voila, the above URL.

Thanx for the link. Quite alarming deal; especially with reference to the unknown actor thingy.
