Recommended action after security notification?

[dram2108]

So far I've seen lots of technical information about the backdoor trojan security breach in 5.33 but virtually no advice on what action I should take, other than update to 5.34 (which I have done).

I don't really want to revert to a pre-August system backup unless I have to, so what are the risks?

A scan with Malwarebytes seemed to indicate 'petya' in the cc533 setup file - I believe that is ransomware, so was that the objective? Or have all my financial login data etc. been collected and distributed so I need to change all my passwords?

Please, Piriform, give us a clear account of the risks we now face (if any) and some practical advice on limiting the damage.

Under the circumstances you would think Piriform would be bending over backwards to help users with questions like these.
