Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson says hackers are embedding dangerous code in Chrome extensions to steal your data.

Hackers have targeted Google Chrome users in a frightening 2FA bypass attack—a full list of impacted extensions has now been published.

New details have emerged about a phishing campaign targeting Chrome browser extension developers that led to the compromise of at least thirty-five extensions to inject data-stealing code, including those from cybersecurity firm Cyberhaven.

The attack began after a hacker successfully targeted a Cyberhaven employee via a phishing email that was sent to Chrome extension developers. The employee, believing the email was an official Google contact, clicked the email and input their login credentials on the phishing page.

The recent cyberattack which hit security firm Cyberhaven and then affected a number of Google Chrome extenions may have been part of a ‘wider campaign’, new research has claimed. A BleepingComputer investigation found the same code was injected into at least 35 Google Chrome extensions,

At least five Chrome extensions were compromised in a coordinated attack where a threat actor injected code that steals sensitive information from users.

Criminals have hijacked dozens of popular browser extensions in a bid to target Google Chrome users and steal sensitive data, like passwords. The devastating campaign started last month and shows no sign of slowing.
