Every couple months it seems...
*Researchers have discovered that malicious Google Chrome extensions siphoned off data from millions of browsers users.
*Awake Security discovered the Chrome add-ons were downloaded some 32 million times.
*The extensions were available via Google's official Chrome Web Store, and masqueraded as tools that convert files or could warn users about malicious sites, but actually hoovered up browser history and other data.
*Google said it removed more than 70 malicious add-ons after being alerted by researchers in May.

so the victims themselves installed so called security extensions from chrome store onto their devices in the false belief that the extensions would protect them?
