DataSpii: The catastrophic data leak via browser extensions

Sam Jadali and @sam_jadali · Security with Sam · 18 July 2019

DataSpii investigates eight Chrome and Firefox extensions that collected browsing URLs, titles, referrers, tokens, and LAN metadata and fed near-real-time analytics sold to subscribers. Controlled extension analysis, decoded traffic, corporate disclosures, and honeypot URLs showed delayed collection, exposure of private and shared-link data, and repeat third-party visits.
