As the investigation continues into the backdoor planted inside CCleaner, two members of parent company Avast’s threat intelligence team said today the desktop and cloud versions of the popular software contained different payloads.
The revelation was made during a talk at Virus Bulletin 2017 during which Jakub Kroustek and Jiri Bracek shared technical details on the attack, primarily about the command and control infrastructure used for communication, as well as some insight on the targets and hinted that there may be other stages of this attack that have yet to be uncovered.
