OX Security researchers on Jan. 7, 2026, discovered two rogue Chrome extensions that have compromised over 900,000 users by exfiltrating ChatGPT and DeepSeek conversations and full browsing histories to attacker servers. The malware impersonated the legitimate AITOPIA AI sidebar, and one fake extension even earned Google's "Featured" badge. The report highlights significant privacy exposure and potential deficiencies in Chrome Web Store vetting processes.
