hello everyone
recently i've done lots of maui runs
perhaps too many
it should be considered unhealthy the
one i performed yesterday happened to be
glorious
the malware gods blessed me with a bunch
of fake installers and flash player
programs
besides i got an adware 30 minutes in
regardless today's video subject is the
fake extension scam
and this one is no ordinary extension
scam
it masks itself as a user account
control dialogue
check that out
what a beauty
it implies that there is an important
chrome update available and i have to
click install to continue
i thought that kind of fraud died way
back in 2016 yet it's up in life at the
end of 2021
that kind of scam isn't particularly
difficult to expose
first of all you take a look at the
address bar
it says set up current super the file
file.vip
that should be the first and the only
step you perform before pressing ctrl w
though if you are morbidly curious next
thing you can check are the topmost
buttons
press any of them and you'll be
redirected at the extension page
in fact every single link
on this site leads to the malicious
extension
and even non-links
you click anywhere on the body of this
page and you get redirected
this extension you definitely don't want
to install it's called malware finder by
but kilo nerf handtalker098
what's so funny is that the pop-up
height is precisely picked to hide
everything else aside from the extension
name and the add to chrome button
you can't see its rating or any details
whatsoever
although you can just resize the pop-up
window
and all the intel is yours
let's see
it looks like a generic
fake fraud extension
malwarefinder.net
let's actually see the malware finder
does that we can do it in a pop-up
actually kind of want to find out
okay that's not genuine
they didn't change the company name and
euler
that's definitely just a landing page
just for chrome extensions to be
accepted
it's probably
all white
oh no that's a template background
now why did i make a video on this
simple obvious fraud website
simply because there are people that
aren't experienced with technology
and since this website is one of the
last of that kind i strongly believe
it poses a high risk for unsuspecting
users
trust me last time i found that kind of
website in my malware run was about five
years ago
in conclusion you should remember that
no browser pushes any important updates
through websites
never install any untrusted extensions
they are most likely malicious
i already made a copy of that website
and uploaded it to my malware database
to any insiders that want to play around
with it i left a link in the description
take care
you
