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 will be better if you posted the link here, anyway, @ DdmrDdmr has posted the article here.
