Extension Banned for Stealing AI Chats Returns to Chrome Store, Resumes Malicious Activities
A browser extension that had accumulated over 300,000 installs was removed from the Chrome Web Store after being discovered to steal data from artificial intelligence (AI) chat sessions. The extension has since returned to the store and resumed its malicious activities.
Why it matters: Chrome users who install untrusted extensions face immediate risk of having AI chat sessions, conversations, and potentially sensitive data intercepted and exfiltrated; practitioners should audit extension permissions and educate users on vetting third-party tools.
