PCWorld warns that 19 Chrome and Edge extensions were found secretly stealing user data, including login details and crypto tokens, through hidden malware. The malicious campaign reportedly evaded detection for around two years, with attackers injecting harmful code into already popular extensions after they gained user trust. Google and Microsoft have removed these add-ons from their stores, but affected users must manually uninstall them to fully protect their devices. Security experts at Socket are warning about browser extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge that contain malware. The accompanying report mentions a total of 19 add-ons that were deliberately infected with malicious code in order to intercept user data and steal access details to digital wallets.
