Google Chrome Extension Steals Login Details

An anonymous reader sends word of a proof-of-concept Google Chrome browser extension that steals users' login details. The developer, Andreas Grech, says that he is trying to raise awareness about security among end users, and therefore chose Chrome as a test-bed because of its reputation as the safest browser. Grech says he does not doubt that Chrome is a safe browser, but the point is that such an extension could be written for any of them. Grech says he has not uploaded his extension to the Google Chrome repository or anywhere else; but he has published enough details to allow others to reproduce the technique easily.

    Clearly you are misinformed. Islam is the religion of peace. In order to protect that peace, detractors of Islam must be brutally murdered. So, if you are against the brutal murdering of detractors of Islam then clearly you are a warmonger; you, sir, disgust me.

    Yeah, and what about all those Anons out there? Most are mindless fucks, with nothing in their hearts or in their minds aside from hatred for anyone and everyone. Very few have anything to contribute to anyone, or to anything. They just pop up, shout some hate slogans, then disappear back into obscurity. Mindless fucks. I suspect that many of them aren't even intelligent enough to feed themselves, bathe themselves, to hold a job, or much of anything. Potty trained? Maybe - if they are over 30. Just maybe.
