Researchers from MyCrypto and PhishFort first identified the list of 49 Google Chrome extensions that hijacked crypto wallets. Harry Denley, director of security at MyCrypto, explained that the extensions were phishing for secrets, mnemonic phrases, private keys, and Keystore files.
In February, the company removed 500 malicious extensions after they were caught working adware and sending users’ browsing activity to C2 servers under the control of attackers. Harry Denley, director of security at MyCrypto, said that there was also a network of vigilant users who penned legitimate reviews about the extensions being malicious.
