Google pulls 500 malicious Chrome extensions after researcher tip-off
Google has abruptly pulled over 500 Chrome extensions from its Web Store that researchers discovered were stealing browsing data and executing click fraud and malvertising.
Chrome is the worlds most popular browser, and is a secure browser. Its downfall has always been add ons which have always been an entry point for malware. Hopefully there’s 500 less entry points now?
