Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a campaign involving
over 40 malicious Chrome extensions that impersonate trusted brands like Fortinet, DeepSeek AI, Calendly, and YouTube tools.
These extensions, still active on the Chrome Web Store, employ AI-generated content and deceptive tactics to harvest sensitive user data
Users are advised to audit their installed extensions, remove any suspicious ones, and only install extensions from verified sources.
Regularly updating browser security settings can also help mitigate such threats.
