These security risks are becoming more and more prevalent theses days as the technology advances. The thing here is that your absolutely correct about beeing more careful. On android the "Google PlayStore" is a pretty secure place to download apps. So I think that by using my smart phone all throughout the day some of my lazy downloading habits from android tend to rub off onto my PC use when using downloaded browser extensions. It's a new year and I really should be practicing my due diligence better.

Not only that, its also becoming advance these days and these scammers/hackers are becoming very very smart in creating something that cant be detected easily and really look like a legit. They can be around anywhere in the web/internet or even in app store so we should be extra careful in whatever app or extensions we are downloading as to not compromise our information and to safeguard our assets.
