Looks like big thing and not just a vulnerability forgotten..I wonder if we could trust Avast and the other products related with this company. I couldn't find any official statement from CCleaner/Avast

Could It be a matter of Inconvenient timing, or the transition from one company to another causing the Issue?
It wouldn't surprise me If the latter Is the cause- with Avast being responsible In some way.

Good point, mind you this type of attack seems to be on the rise, hack the big company which distributes to many people and profit.
