One Wrong Browser Extension Can Expose All Your Accounts

Browser extensions look harmless, but a single untrusted add on can collect sensitive data and give attackers access to your accounts.

What a malicious extension can do
• Read passwords and any data you type
• Access browsing history and personal information
• Inject malicious links into websites you visit
• Abuse already logged in accounts

How to protect yourself
• Install extensions only from trusted sources
• Review permissions before approving
• Remove extensions you no longer use
• Use security tools that detect malicious links
