Topic: Beware of browsers add-ons - page 4. (Read 361 times)
oh this is alarming, with the name of ledger we thought this is legit, but it is a fake extension. Now we should careful what we like to install in add-ons, what if there is a fake metamask, this is not good we should research before we install.
It is quite frightening to use browser add-ons. We should not add anything unless it is fully verified. And even if it is, we should still be careful about updates. I have read lots of attacks that uses browser add-ons that is why I avoided it as much as possible.
I don't mind adding extra apps on my browser unless it is verified and trusted especially when it comes to browser extensions to have a different use of the browser like downloading with torrent etc. I won't use any add-ons unless it is found in google store or any trusted store, the fact that hackers these days are very clever with their tools already disgust me. 
Thank you for this reminder. I am fond of add-ons and updates on my browsers but when I learned that hackers do create something that steal details on our laptop/desktop then I refrain from updating my browser from unknown sources and not from the browser's official website.
Browser addons will improve your surfing experience. Important features are often absent from Basic browser, hence arises the question of addons. I always try to follow some measures.
1. I always download addons from well known developers and they make legit and safe addons to improve browser capabilities. Always check total number of downloads and how people thinks about the addons.
2. Always read the privacy policy to understand, what sort of data will be accessed by browser, what data will be stored by addons.
3. Money making addons are risky. Addons will make you rich, no way. They will never.

This kind of merely cases somehow is like a phishing but differ in terms of use, because this kind of activity is where you will be able to add some extensions to your browser like for example the Google Chrome in which you will manage it eventually then after this they probably have the extensions on your browser and there are some cases that when you have logging in your wallet they can get your information and necessary data in order to steal it and use to some illegal activities. This is kind of dangerous to every one so I assume that we will be careful accessing this kind of add-ons browser.

Hmmm! This is the first time I will be seeing this. I always like to confirm the authenticity of any app or add-on, before using it. Even Metamast and others, had their fakes. I am thinking that Google itself should find a way of checkmating these things. There should be a way in which the system will be selective, even when the user is trying to add any app. I know some people would have fallen victim of this.
Really a much useful information for the bitcoiners. Right now more and more hackers/scammers are into the try of stealing cryptocurrencies. Whenever we add an extension we need to be very careful and read the instructions. Now the focus has turned towards the add-ons, earlier it was the faking of exchanges and websites to steal data and cryptocurrencies.

Before adding any new add on take some time to explore it and even how many downloads and ratings can give an idea about their legitimacy.
Add on that related to crypto i already installed only Tronlink and for others we should really careful with it. Even wallet that i should download in my computer i never do it, or maybe use laptops that special i used for something like that. Because i don't know what is behind it. I think maybe before we install new or maybe adds on that look suspicious, ask others for review first is important.
Thanks for the warning mate and frankly speaking i am not fan of the use of browser add ons as that is one of the silent yet effective way through which hackers can steal the information of users. i am old school and don't like to get things always done in a chicken ease manner, most of them lead you to a big trouble in the latter days.

Thanks for sharing. Apparently, Ledger already warned its users on social media, but if it wasn't for another crypto forum, I might have missed the info.

If you don't want to have problems with this issue, instead of using add-ons, you can use quality browser with ad blocker feature.
Brave and Opera are good examples. Especially Brave is a very nice and comfortable browser to use.

It's nothing new, in the past my PC have got infected with malware through chrome VPN extensions that i thought are real, since then i knew browser extensions can't be trusted.
Not all extensions can't be trusted, that's why we better make a research before we install any chrome extension. There are some extension that we can use and really trusted like grammarly. But if we are about to install any crypto related extension, that is when we should make research.
It's nothing new, in the past my PC have got infected with malware through chrome VPN extensions that i thought are real, since then i knew browser extensions can't be trusted.
This is the reason why I do not actually install any browser extension in my personal computer. I also do not install anything so easily to my pc to avoid my funds to be stolen.
A friend of mine become a victim of this kind of hacking, since that happen, I personally keep myself out of every unnecessary apps to install in my pc.

Previously, a friend of mine had his private key stolen because he installed fake extensions, from which I didn't use any extension except one, which is the wallet I'm using.

Yes, this is important information, some people might ignore something this small. But who would have thought of this small thing could result in a great danger. Indeed, some add-on web like to steal data without us knowing it, as much as possible we have to minimize errors because we are not careful. Maybe I will try to discuss this with some of my relatives so that I don't miss this valuable information. Thank you The source is right below
