Fake Chrome Extension “Safery” — The Latest Pile of Cybersecurity Bullshit

Right, so apparently some genius cyber-scammers have released a Chrome extension called “Safery.” And get this — it pretends to be a bloody safety tool for Chrome while it’s actually nicking people’s Ethereum wallet seed phrases. Yeah, because nothing screams “trust me” like some random browser add-on that shows up looking like it was coded by a caffeinated raccoon.

The bastards behind it are using the Sui blockchain to stash the stolen credentials — because of course they are, it’s 2025 and these crooks can’t resist trying to sound like blockchain hipsters. Instead of just robbing you the old-fashioned way, they’ve gone full crypto fashionista. Users install Safery thinking it’ll protect them from shady websites, and instead it’s the shady bastard itself, quietly vacuuming up your precious seed phrases faster than an intern trying to delete logs before I arrive Monday morning.

Apparently, once you enter your credentials anywhere Safery can access, it ships the lot off through the Sui network straight into the greasy hands of whoever’s behind it. The attackers get rich, you get poor, and Chrome’s extension store continues to be the wild west of stupid. It’s the same circus every damn month — Google removes the extension only after thousands get screwed, then everyone acts surprised it happened again. Newsflash: If you install random Chrome extensions called “Safery” that promise to keep you safe, you deserve what you get. That’s like trusting a cat to watch your goldfish.

The moral? Don’t install shit you don’t understand. Check sources. Use your brain — that squishy blob between your ears isn’t just there to keep your skull inflated.

Reminds me of the time some idiot user asked me to “approve” a screensaver called “Totally_Legit_Security_Update.exe.” Next thing you know, their workstation’s coughing up crypto miners like it’s the Bitcoin Gold Rush. I let them stew for a week before restoring their files — because sometimes pain is the best teacher.
