[2018.09.05] MEGA Chrome Extension Compromised to Steal Users’ Monero

[NeuroticFish]

This sounds serious, else I would not really post news..

The MEGA Chrome extension version 3.39.4 has been compromised and can now steal user’s Monero in addition to other sensitive information, according to recent posts on Twitter and Reddit. MEGA Chrome extension is a tool that claims to improve browser performance by reducing page loading times, in addition to providing a secure cloud storage service.

Just did a quick search on my PC to see if I had such extension installed on my browser, one can never be too certain and be too confident of 100% security as these hackers never give up.
