Popular extensions for Chrome and Edge monitor the activity of users

Dmitry Dzhugalik Author of news on Mezha.media. I write about what I actively admire, namely technology, games and cinema.

The popular Color Picker Tool Expansion – Geco for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers, which was available in the relevant stores of both companies, was an infected virus that monitors users’ activity. About it reports The Register.

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.

Here is a list of other harmful ID and titles:
