Malicious Chrome Extensions Caught Stealing Business Data, Emails, and Browsing Hist
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious Google Chrome extension that's designed to steal data associated with Meta Business Suite and Facebook Business Manager.
The extension, named CL Suite by @CLMasters (ID: jkphinfhmfkckkcnifhjiplhfoiefffl), is marketed as a way to scrape Meta Business Suite data, remove verification pop-ups, and generate two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

This happens a lot with Chrome extensions. Someone makes a popular extension people use, then later sells it to whoever.

I have seriously scaled back my use of extensions lately for this exact reason.

There should be some kind of oversight over these plugins, and they should be thoroughly reviewed.

If an extension promises to “remove verification pop-ups” and generate 2FA codes for you… that’s not a feature, that’s a confession.
People will install anything if it says “growth hack” — even if it quietly steals the entire business behind it.
