Edge Extenstions security

https://press.avast.com/third-party-browser-extensions-from-instagram-facebook-vimeo-and-others-infected-with-malware

 

Are the edge teams going to disable or do something? They really need to think of a way to stop these from happening.

  • Agreed, there needs to be tighter checks for extensions when someone publishes them to the store and also checks and scans after each update so a developer won't suddenly decide to go rouge and infect everyone.

      Yeah, you cant just trust them once and let them go. You hae to check every update
  • PS: I think if they is a scam or something. Say we are currenting reviewing this app or extenstion since of reports of scam and viruses
