I have been using CCleaner for years on my PC and for about a year on my Android phone. It was a great product, and it is awful to hear this.

Thanks for posting this. I think I am ok since I am using an older version, but it worries me that this could happen.

Hacks and data privacy breaches are becoming more and more commonplace. It's very bad when a well-established product like CCleaner can have this happen.
