9/25/17 Avast Publishes Full List of Companies Affected by CCleaner Second-Stage Malware

Earlier today, Avast published a full list of companies affected by the second-stage CCleaner malware, as part of its ongoing investigation into the CCleaner hack that took place last week.
Avast was able to compile this list of affected companies because, over the weekend, they were able to find a second server used by the attackers.
Last Friday, Avast published an update on its investigation of the CCleaner hack in which it said it managed to get its hands on the database of the server where the CCleaner malware was sending information about infected hosts.
Unfortunately, that server's database contained information for user infections between September 12 and September 16. Avast said that the database holding info on infected users crashed on September 10 after the server ran out of space.
Hackers installed a new server on September 12, which Avast, with the help of law enforcement, seized on September 15. The IP address of this main server was 216.126.225.148.
