108 Chrome extensions quietly exfiltrate data and inject ads across sites — remove them now

Security researchers found 108 malicious Chrome extensions—designed as games, utilities, or add-ons—that quietly siphon user data and inject ads across every site. Despite different publishers, all stolen data is sent to a single command-and-control server; 54 extensions harvest Gmail addresses, full names, and Google 'sub' IDs to build a persistent profile. If you have any of these extensions installed, delete them via Chrome or Edge extensions manager. To stay safe, download only trusted extensions, inspect permissions, enable Enhanced Safe Browsing, and consider antivirus and identity protection to guard against similar threats.
