This is no longer a new thing, most browser extensions are very bad and shouldn’t be found in your computer because they anything from stealing information, passwords and more. Not only are some browser extensions  very bad, there are also similar reports about mobile apps that are malicious and can have access to your Blockchain and other apps, and also harm your phone.

I have also heard of some Desktop apps and browser extensions that will always change the address you copy to the scammers/hackers address, and if you don’t check the address before sending you will end up sending to the wrong address.
