Free cheese: hackers advertised a malicious extension for Google Chrome using airdrop.

According to a study by analyst Harry Danley on Medium, the scammers managed to lure more than 200 users into a useless airdrop, through which their extension was spread. NoCoin downloaded 230 times before Google removed the program from public access. The incident was another addition to the EtherscamDB database developed by Danley.

Airdrop of tokens of the Huobi exchange turned out to be part of a campaign to steal users' private keys.

The malicious browser extension for Google Chrome, aimed at stealing users' cryptocurrency assets, was downloaded at least 230 times before the search giant discovered and deleted it. This was told by the researcher of cybersecurity problems Harry Denley in his blog.
