131 clones d’extensions Chrome pour WhatsApp Web dĂ©tectĂ©s au BrĂ©sil

Selon Socket (Socket.dev), l’équipe Socket Threat Research Team a mis au jour une campagne coordonnĂ©e opĂ©rant depuis au moins neuf mois et distribuant 131 clones rebrandĂ©s d’une extension d’automatisation pour WhatsApp Web via le Chrome Web Store, visant des utilisateurs brĂ©siliens. ‱ Nature de la menace: un cluster de spamware permettant l’automatisation d’envois massifs de messages sur WhatsApp Web, en violation des politiques du Chrome Web Store et de WhatsApp. La campagne opĂšre sur un modĂšle de revente/franchise, avec des variantes diffĂ©renciĂ©es par noms, logos et pages d’atterrissage, mais partageant le mĂȘme code et la mĂȘme infrastructure. 🚹

I found a button in my Windows 10 Task bar called the Activity button that when I clicked it had all this information from forever. WTF? I did a web search and found how to remove it but it didn't work. Had to go to some website to remove all this crap and I still don't know if its gone.
