Google discovered and removed more than 500 malicious Chrome extension 

0

The popular search engine Google has discarded more than 500 malicious Chrome extensions from its conclusive Web Store after a long investigation conducted by Cisco’s Duo Security, Jamila, and Google. 

Jamila Kaya a security researcher found out a large scale campaign of copycat Chrome extensions that infected users and extract data through malvertising while attempting to avoid fraud detection on the Google Chrome Web Store. More than 500 malicious Chrome extensions have been detected and been removed by Google.

Jamila used a CRXcavator that can analyse Chrome extensions as well as helped her in discovering a network of copycat plugins sharing nearly identical functionality. After identifying a few dozens of extensions she reported to Google. Then Google and Jamila together searched the entire Chrome Web Store corpus to find out and remove more than 500 related extensions.

A Google spokesperson said, “We appreciate the work of the research community, and when we are alerted of extensions in the Web Store that violate our policies, we take action and use those incidents as training material to improve our automated and manual analyses. We do regular sweeps to find extensions using similar techniques, code, and behaviors, and take down those extensions if they violate our policies.”

As per a report published by Duo, these extensions used generic names to mask their true identity to have access to user’s private browsing data. This is done by showing a malicious advertisement to bypass the Google Chrome Web Store’s fraud detection system.

Jamila discovered a few dozens of extension which were found to be matched across 1.7 million users. This means that more than 1.7 million users were affected therefore points out that the Malvertising attack was on a large scale. 

“Increasingly malicious actors will use legitimate internet activity to obfuscate their exploit droppers or command and control schemas. A very popular way to do this is to utilize advertising cookies and the redirects therein to control callbacks and evade detection. This technique, called “malvertising” has become an increasingly common infection vector in Jamila’s experience, and is still hard to detect today, despite being prominent for years,” the report explained.

Jamila recommends that users should regularly audit what extensions they have installed, remove those they no longer use and report ones they do not recognize these simple steps will keep you safe.

Our Take

All the three newly launched phones come with quad-camera set up with 108-megapixel Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor. But The Pro variant of the Xiaomi Mi 10 comes with a better camera set up as compared to both the other two smartphones which are its biggest USP. But in the front camera department, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra takes on both Xiaomi’s phones as it comes equipped with a 40-megapixel front camera whereas the Mi 10 phones have a 20-megapixel selfie camera. Samsung phones offer a longer battery life as it comes with a 5000mAh battery that is supported by a 45W fast charging. In the hardware department, all three devices are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC which is till date the latest processor. It is very hard to decide which amongst the three mobile phones is the best. But if you are on a tight budget then you need to wait for a few more weeks until Xiaomi launched Mi 10 Pro because it might cost you half the price of what you have to pay for Galaxy S20 Ultra.
