As a new hack attack has been identified, all web browser users are warned—don’t click twice. Here’s what you need to know.

Chrome extension vulnerabilities leave millions at risk of 2FA bypass attacks, with hackers targeting multiple companies.

New details have emerged about a phishing campaign targeting Chrome browser extension developers that led to the compromise of at least thirty-five extensions to inject data-stealing code, including those from cybersecurity firm Cyberhaven.

Hackers were reportedly able to modify several Chrome extensions with malicious code this month after gaining access to admin accounts through a phishing campaign. The cybersecurity company Cyberhaven shared in a blog post this weekend that its Chrome extension was compromised on December 24 in an attack that appeared to be “targeting logins to specific social media advertising and AI platforms.

The data-loss startup says it was targeted as part of a "wider campaign to target Chrome extension developers."

The attack began after a hacker successfully targeted a Cyberhaven employee via a phishing email that was sent to Chrome extension developers. The employee, believing the email was an official Google contact, clicked the email and input their login credentials on the phishing page.

The recent cyberattack which hit security firm Cyberhaven and then affected a number of Google Chrome extenions may have been part of a ‘wider campaign’, new research has claimed. A BleepingComputer investigation found the same code was injected into at least 35 Google Chrome extensions,

Criminals have hijacked dozens of popular browser extensions in a bid to target Google Chrome users and steal sensitive data, like passwords. The devastating campaign started last month and shows no sign of slowing.
