Cybersecurity researchers have identified 19 malicious browser extensions dedicated to stealing cryptocurrency, including 18 for Google Chrome and one for Microsoft Edge. The operation has been active since February 2024, with 14 extensions created directly by the attackers and five acquired from legitimate developers. The most dangerous extension, « Enable Right Click & Copy — Smart Unlock + OCR », had approximately 70,000 users on Chrome and 10,000 on Edge at the time of detection. The campaign targets multi-chain wallets (EVM, Solana, Tron), Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets, as well as platforms including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, MEXC, KuCoin, Bybit and MetaMask.
