[@michaelmonstar4276]

@@Exzyll Well, didn't you not get hacked but simply invaded?... I mean, they hacked the extensions and then took the data through them, which means they simply accessed any account they had the information for.

[@spvillano]

Same here. I'm extremely conservative in extensions and helper objects that I'll allow and none were on the list, nor have I had any unexpected or untoward behavior in my finances or antisocial media accounts. The only unexpected activities I'm experiencing are, ahem, biological, as in health issues. All of which come down to some autoimmune issues and doctor neglecting to refill my beta blockers, causing my BP and pulse to dangerously escalate. As for managing any compromise via these, it depends upon your paranoia level. When I was with the DoD, we'd just go back to bare metal, then reimage the machine. For this, if one's comfortable having malware running at the browser level and is certain that the OS itself isn't compromised, one can remove the afflicted apps, purge their local stores in the browser cache and local extensions directories and move on, if uncertain, wipe and reload/reimage.

2 Questions: 1. If someone had one of these installed, but not enabled, could the malicious code still have been executed? 2. If someone has one of these installed, but hasn't opened Chrome since before the date of the hack (Christmas Eve), then opens Chrome as of today (assuming the malicious changes have been rolled back), is there anything to worry about?

[@EIRE55]

Good question, although I don't use any of those extensions. However, I'm wondering whether I should go and uninstall then reinstall the few ones I do use. All the best to you and yours for 2025.

[@PrincessSugarVT]

1. if the extension has never been enabled once between installation and today, it could never have been executed. but you are better off changing your passwords anyways to make sure. 2. Just because someone discovers a hack, the doesnt mean it was created and spread on that day. some of this could have been around for months or years unnoticed.

[@dvorakgigachad1444]

1. if you disable an installed extension, it lies completely dormant and is harmless. So assuming you've disabled it before the malicious update, and left it disabled while the malicious version was installed, you should be fine 2. yes, in that case the extension would update directly from the older safe version to the newest, fixed version and the malicious changes would never run in your browser. Just be extremely sure you never started chrome so those would be close calls. However it's probably smarter to just unistall the extensions, as the devs clearly can't keep them safe

It's scary for us that are not TECH savvy, are vulnerable to things we assume are safe. Ideally we need 2 PC's... 1 for ONLINE use. 1 for permanent OFFLINE use.

[@I.____.....__...__]

It has nothing to do with being tech-savvy. Users did nothing wrong here. It was the TECH-SAVVY DEVELOPERS who were duped into getting their extensions infected and Google who forcibly auto-updated your extensions behind your back without permission or consent or a way to reverse to a previous version that caused it. Google is 100% at fault for their part, and as for devs, many of them _aren't_ tech-savvy these days, not when everybody and their dogs can do "computer programming" by clicking a couple of buttons to slightly modify demo-code and use frameworks and libraries to make stuff (it's why games are such unoptimized, bloated, demanding abominations now).

You are an angel to this for all of us! My Holistic doctor helped me to get over bronchitis with the spice thyme and lemon grass, both of which can be purchased at your local grocery store in the fresh vegetable section. Take some water and boil it on the stove and throw in heft helpings of thyme and 1 tablespoon of lemon grass. drink it like a tea, no sugar.I got mine in a squeeze paste tube for chefs. You can also opt to use thyme in the spice bottles that is dried. I put about 3 tablespoons of that one time when I ran out of fresh. These spices cause the mucous to come up and out of your sinuses and bronchi.

If you have the affected extension made by the same developer installed in multiple browsers, you could be vulnerable regardless of which one you use. Developer name might be different from one browser to another for one reason or another, but if the phisher got access to all development accounts owned by the same person or company...

No, because the developers got their chrome extension store accounts hijacked. The attackers wouldn't be able to do the same thing to the Firefox store with the same account, they'd need a different one.
