Researchers identify malware existing in popular add-ons for Facebook, Vimeo, Instagram and others that are commonly used in browsers from Google and Microsoft.
Twenty-eight popular extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers may contain malware and likely should be uninstalled by the more than 3 million people that already have downloaded them, security researchers said Thursday.
Extensions for the browsers that potentially could pose a security threat include Video Downloader for Facebook, Vimeo Video Downloader, Instagram Story Downloader, VK Unblock, as well as others in use for the two popular browsers, according to research from Avast Threat Intelligence.
