Security is the main weakness extension of Google Chrome, the most prominent browser. The extension has been detected again in the browser.

An extension called ‘TEIMPO N Colombia NVVO’ was hidden in Google’s extension library for nearly 19 days. If users were added to Chrome, they would have taken various types of YouTube videos and stole information.

The most frightening thing is that extensions are redirected to the page so that it is not easy to move the extension.

And the alarming fact is that Google has not only allowed such harmful extensions to enter their chrome store but after reporting about the harmful aspects, it took 19 days to remove it.

The harmful aspect of the extension came first to the security research firm Malwarebytes. According to their comment, the antimalware program may be needed to remove the extension.

Google’s indifference to malware removal is repeatedly available, so awareness of using extension is important.
