According to Cyberhaven, the hackers pushed an updated version of its Chrome extension with the malicious code to users on Christmas Eve. The company became aware of the hack on Christmas Day and immediately pushed out a fix within an hour. The company began informingusers of the hack on Friday morning with an email notification.
Other Chrome extensions confirmed to have been injected with the malicious code include Internxt VPN, ParrotTalks, Uvoice, and VPNCity. Each of these Chrome extensions has tens of thousands of users, according to the public stats on the Chrome Web Store.
The attack began after a hacker successfullytargeted a Cyberhaven employee via a phishing email that was sent to Chrome extension developers. The employee, believing the email was an official Google contact, clicked the email and input their login credentials on the phishing page.
