Unmasking Privacy Threats: Beware These Browser Extensions 🚨
Recent findings by Koi Security expose risks associated with four popular browser extensions: Urban VPN Proxy, 1ClickVPN Proxy, Urban Browser Guard, and Urban Ad Blocker. While marketed as tools for enhancing online privacy, they have been secretly harvesting conversations from over 8 million users.
Key Insights:
- Targeted Platforms: Extensions maliciously capture data from AI services like ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
- Data Interception: An embedded script intercepts communications, exposing sensitive information with no user controls to disable it.
- Potential Misleading Practices: Users may unknowing agree to privacy policies that disguise data collection as protective measures.
With user data vulnerable, Dardikman emphasizes, “If you have any of these extensions installed, uninstall them now.”
