Doesn't bode well for Avast, nor Symantec, whose certificates were compromised.
Marked decrease in spam in the last 12 hours. Amazing how that works...
All of a sudden all of the open relays get shut down after a mass security panic.
You'd think they'd be doing regular checks.
National Cyber Awareness System:
09/19/2017 01:44 PM EDTOriginal release date: September 19, 2017Piriform, a subsidiary of Avast, has released CCleaner 5.34 and has pushed v1.07.3214 to CCleaner Cloud users. These versions do not contain the Floxif malware found in the 32-bit versions of CCleaner 5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud 1.07.3191. Floxif malware collects information from the victim's system and can download additional malware to the system.
US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Piriform Security Notification and apply the necessary update.

No doubt. I was somewhat shocked at the very small amount of spam I received around the time of the announcement, but, unfortunately, it looks like it's back to normal.
In the last 28 hours I've recieved over 60 spam emails. Ugh.
My trap had been filtering about 60-70/day until the past couple of days.
Today: only 32, and mostly from Alibaba/Chinanet/China Unicom. The rest mostly from onesy-twosy zombies.
That's pretty significant.
