VPN Extension’s Suspicious Conduct
Koi Security Sounds the Alarm
Experts at Koi Security have alerted users about a change in the actions of a well-known Chrome VPN extension, FreeVPN.One, which seems to have started capturing screenshots of users’ browsing activity and sending them to a distant server without their consent – and Google has not yet intervened.
Developer’s Assurance of Compliance
It appears that the creators of this covert extension believe their actions are “in line” with certain policies or similar. Right, and I’m the Queen of England!
Google’s Inaction
Indecision Dominates
While users are irate and causing a ruckus, Google has been idle like a child who’s misplaced their homework. We at GadgetLad expected some movement by now, but no, it seems Google is still rather “unbothered” by the situation.
Conclusion
The VPN Burglar That Escaped
So, there you have it, everyone. A VPN extension that’s turned rogue, and Google’s response as quick as a tortoise on a carousel. Stay vigilant and safeguard your keystrokes, unless you want your online existence to become a complete drama.
