Color Picker Tool allows users to identify any color on the web pages in the browser and copy it for later use. At Microsoft Edge it was downloaded more than a thousand times, at Chrome, from where it was already removed, the expansion had more than 800 reviews with an average of 4.2.
According to Koi Security researchers, this extension captures every user browser session, tracks activity on a variety of websites and creates backdora. However, researchers note that the Color Picker Tool is just an “iceberg top” and a part of a larger campaign with browser stolen data called Reddirection.
Reddirection includes 18 harmful extensions available in Chrome and Edge stores. Each has the same tracking opportunities, and they all cover more than 2.3 million users among both browsers. Researchers also say that before introducing harmful software into browsers, these extensions were pure and had no threat to users.
