Beware of Malicious Browser Extensions
Posted April 2025
Hackers have developed a new technique that lets malicious browser extensions mimic legitimate ones, tricking users into entering sensitive information. Once credentials are stolen, attackers can gain access to personal and financial data. This technique used can lead to account takeovers and data breaches.
How to defend against this attack:
Review your extensions—if you don’t remember installing it, remove it. Limit permissions—only allow extensions that truly need access to your data. Use multi-factor authentication (MFA)—even if your credentials are stolen, MFA adds an extra layer of protection. Monitor browser updates—keeping your software up to date helps patch security vulnerabilities.Being proactive is the best defense against evolving cyber threats. Double-check before you click!
