108 Malicious Chrome Extensions target, Google Telegram YouTube TikTok ads

JLA — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:11:48 +0800

Socket's Threat Research Team identified 108 malicious Chrome extensions operating as a coordinated campaign under a shared C2 infrastructure at cloudapi[.]stream. The extensions are published under five distinct publisher identities (Yana Project, GameGen, SideGames, Rodeo Games, and InterAlt) and collectively account for approximately 20k Chrome Web Store installs. All 108 route stolen credentials, user identities, and browsing data to servers controlled by the same operator. The extensions remain live at the time of writing. We have submitted takedown requests to the Chrome Web Store security team and Google Safe Browsing.

The campaign spans several threat categories across 108 extensions:

54 extensions steal Google account identity via OAuth2
1 extension actively exfiltrates Telegram Web sessions every 15 seconds
1 extension includes staged infrastructure for Telegram session theft (not yet activated)
2 extensions strip YouTube security headers and inject ads
1 extension strips TikTok security headers and injects ads
2 extensions inject content scripts into every page the user visits
1 extension proxies all translation requests through the threat actor's server
45 extensions contain a universal backdoor that opens arbitrary URLs on browser start

CelcomDigi Fiber last mile connection,

munchoong — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:42:24 +0800

Are there any CelcomDigi users here?

I have the following questions.

1) Does CelcomDigi share last mile connection with Unifi (like Maxis) or is it their own cable (like Time Broadband)?
2) Does CelcomDigi allocates everyone their own external IP address? Not talking about static IP. Do they employ CGNAT to assign one public external IP shared amongst multiple users?
3) Does CelcomDigi have any bandwidth throttling or is it bantai je?

Thanks!

Chastain — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 07:40:19 +0800

Hi

This might sound strange to some of you.
I have a yahoo email account created years ago.
Believe it or not it has Google Drive
Probably back then got some kind of merge between Yahoo and Google.
I have no idea.

15GB
I do not recall how I uploaded the files into it.

Now I wish to access them but don't know how.

I am not sure what happens to the owner of Twitter, the rebranding of Twitter as X is one thing, the reinstatement of certain controversial user account is another.

This morning a great person I am following is leaving Twitter for good. He might be go to Mastodon.

Google Chrome Setting to Ignore First Click..., ...when focusing window

soonwai — Thu, 11 May 2023 04:01:55 +0800

Is there a setting in Google Chrome to ignore the click when clicking on a unfocused window? As it is, I have to look for a blank part of the window just to focus a Chrome window. Or perhaps a system-wide setting? I'm using Windows 11.

Like how it is, for example, in Microsoft Excel. The first click just focuses the window and does nothing else.
