TechCrunch reports that optimization app CCleaner was confirmed by parent software firm Gen Digital, which also owns Avast, Avira, and NortonLifeLock, to have been impacted by the widespread compromise of the MOVEit file transfer tool by the Cl0p ransomware operation. Fewer than 2% of CCleaner users had their names, contact details, billing addresses, and product purchase information stolen as a result of the MOVEit hack, said Gen Digital spokesperson Jess Monney, who did not provide details regarding the exact number of victims and the delayed notification of the incident to its customers.
