Users of social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, and other online services, have been warned to be on the alert to third-party Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browser extensions that are in fact malware delivery mechanisms.
That is according to threat researchers at Avast, who say they have uncovered at least 28 of the dodgy extensions that have, to date, been downloaded about three million times.
