Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions after a security researcher discovered they were stealing private keys. These Chrome extensions targeted users of crypto wallets, such as Ledger, Trezor.

What do you think of this move?


It would be even better if they remove all malicious android apps from Google play. Grin
I don't know what kind of people were using those browser extensions.The average cryptocurrency user is usually more tech savvy and knows how to spot shady scams and hacker codes.
Many hackers are using a Chrome extension called Tampermonkey.The extension itself isn't dangerous,but it's used for executing malicious codes.
