British IT security company Sophos reported on May 8 that Google had taken down another 22 malicious Chrome extensions, after removing 49 of those in mid-April. These extensions pretend to serve legitimate cryptocurrency wallets like Ledger, Trezor, MyEtherWallet, etc., yet will steal users’ private keys to access their digital wallets and purloin money once installed.

The impersonating Chrome extensions were found by Harry Denley, director of security at the MyCrypto platform, who said he saw new ones emerging every day.
