Another Fucking Chrome Extension Gone Rogue
Oh for fuck’s sake. Just when you thought the internet couldn’t get any more of a cesspool, some shithead developer decides to sell their fucking Chrome extension to the highest bidder, who then turns it into a digital pickpocket.
This time it’s “QuickLens – Design Tool,” some design bollocks that 100,000+ gullible users installed because they needed to screenshot rectangles or whatever the fuck designers do all day. Turns out the original author got bored (or broke) and flogged it to some dodgy bastards who promptly turned it into a crypto-stealing shitshow.
Here’s how the scam works, you bunch of trusting morons: The extension sits there in your browser, pretending to help you with your precious wireframes, while secretly waiting for you to visit MetaMask, Coinbase, or other crypto wallet sites. Then it injects malicious JavaScript faster than you can say “blockchain is a pyramid scheme.”
But wait, there’s more! These cunning shits use something called “ClickFix” – a social engineering turd that shows fake error messages claiming your clipboard is broken. It’s not fucking broken, you muppet. It’s a trap. They tell you to paste some PowerShell “fix” into your terminal, which is essentially handing the keys to your digital kingdom to a bunch of Eastern European malware distributors dressed in balaclavas made of code.
And you know what makes this really boil my piss? The extension had legitimate history. Real users. Trust. And some fuckwit sold it to crypto-thieves because apparently integrity is cheaper than a Happy Meal these days.
If you’ve got this extension installed, remove it immediately. Then go check your crypto wallets. Then maybe – just fucking maybe – stop installing every shiny browser extension that promises to make your life 0.5% easier. Your OPSEC is garbage and these villains are dining out on your incompetence.
Reminds me of the time I “accidentally” configured the proxy server to redirect all Facebook traffic to a page explaining why social media is rotting humanity’s collective brain. Users complained for weeks. I told them it was a “security feature.” Management believed me because I wore a tie that day. The moral? Never trust anything that comes through a browser extension, and always wear a tie when you’re lying through your teeth.
