Malicious Chrome Extensions: How One Browser Plugin Hijacked 100,000 Users & What SMBs Can Do About It
Malicious Chrome extensions are becoming a major security threat for small businesses, and a recent discovery shows just how bad it can get. A seemingly innocuous Chrome browser plugin, downloaded by over 100,000 users, turned out to be a well-disguised piece of spyware. It hijacked user sessions and redirected traffic, essentially snooping on everything from login sessions to online activity. For small businesses already juggling a hundred other priorities, this kind of silent breach can be devastating.
