Addtional CCleaner 5.33.6162 -- unanswered question

CCleaner for Windows
1

Can you clarify why there is a second build of "5.33.6162" signed 16 minutes later? Why was this second copy created? What is changed? Is it typical to build and sign a second copy of the software (and installer) ever? (or not to change the build number?)

Is the malware different in version B? Does it connect to another server?

Variant A:

ccsetup533.exe

I'm open to non-staff input and speculation. Which ones did you encounter?

Hi NonConvergentWaveform,

From time to time we build a second set of binaries for testing purposes. A test version was built for version 5.33.6162 and this build was also affected by the compromise.
