I have mereged this from a seperate thread to here, so that the replies about these emails are all together and easily found. - Nukecad.
This may sound odd, BUT, I recently received a strange e-mail, supposedly from CCleaner, stating that my personal data had been compromised, and that I was now featured on the dark web.
In order to verify that this was indeed from CCleaner, and not some sort of attempt at a scam, or other fraud, I made enquires via the official CCleaner web site using the form provided.
I duly received a response saying that the message was genuine, and an offer was made of a 6 month free trial of a programme called BreachGuard.
I am still not entirely happy with this situation, nor am I convinced that any of this is genuine.
The responding message originated in Manila, in the Philippines, and as far as I know, CCleaner's offices are in London and the US ?
I have also checked all my current e-mail addresses, via "Have I been pwned". There was no indication that any of my addresses had been compromised.
Has anybody else experienced this situation ?
If so, what action should I take ?
I guess that I am just paranoid about on-line security !
Any advice would be appreciated.
