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?
They were not the legit wallet but malicious extensions that looked like the original wallet but were a fake to steal private keys and coins of unsuspecting users. People installing these extensions for using it on dapps and dex were their target. No one would hesitate to input their private key in myetherwallet or tronlink but they don't realize its a fake one as it looks just the same.
