Millions of Google Chrome users have been warned to delete 16 browser extensions that have been hijacked by a 'threat actor' and used for fraud.
The affected extensions, including screen shot capture, ad blocking, and emoji keyboards, put at least 3,200,000 users at risk.
The 'threat actor' injected code into legitimate browsers, degrading security and hiding malicious code outside of the extensions.
Users are advised to delete the affected extensions and be cautious when granting permissions, as the hackers can purchase or hijack popular extensions to gain trust.
