SlowMist releases Osiris malicious browser extension analysis: Users have suffered losses, remind to avoid installing unknown programs, extensions, etc

Odaily Planet Daily News: SlowMist has officially released an analysis of the Osiris malicious browser extension, which points out that the malicious browser extension will replace the user's normal download link, redirect to the download link of the malicious program, and the user unknowingly downloads and installs the malicious program, resulting in the loss of encrypted assets. After obtaining the data, attackers can attempt to decode and obtain the private key or mnemonic words of the Web3 wallet, thereby stealing the user's assets. They can also obtain the account password saved in the user's Chrome and take over the user's social platform account, cryptocurrency platform account, etc. This type of extension program disguised as a "security tool" steals encrypted assets and user data by hijacking download links, implanting malicious code, and other means, causing losses to existing users. In view of this, we remind users to avoid installing unknown programs, extensions, etc., and not to trust strangers' solutions or tool recommendations easily.
