Google has removed 500 Chrome extensions tied to a malvertising campaign that may have affected 1.7 million users. Researchers say the extensions were used to steal browser data and redirect users to malicious sites. Google says it “regularly sweeps to find extensions using similar techniques, code and behaviors and take down those extensions if they violate our policies” The extensions were part of a campaign that had been active for at least a year, Duo Security says. The campaign appears to have accelerated between March and June of last year, the researchers say.”]
