From Firefox Malware to Stolen Pornhub Data

If you thought that only Chrome users were at risk of malware-infested browser extensions, think again. Researchers at Koi Security identified 17 Firefox extensions that also host malware, hidden within their PNG icons. This attack method is known as steganography, where a payload or message is concealed within an image to evade detection. Sometimes used as a method of encryption, in this case, the PNG is actually a loader for the malware, which is then fetched from a remote server and runs irregularly, making it difficult to detect. In 2022, LastPass suffered a breach that resulted in a hacker obtaining encrypted copies of customer vaults, as well as personal information like names, email addresses, billing addresses, and IP addresses. Do you think that internet is very unsafe ?
