Malwarebytes Labs weekly security feed covering browser-extension surveillance, malicious crypto-wallet extensions, exploited Apple vulnerabilities, browser security updates, software supply-chain exposure, phishing and election scams, privacy concerns, major data breaches, and large-scale cryptocurrency theft. The most directly actionable items are the 319 Chrome extensions reportedly routing searches through operator-controlled servers, fake Firefox wallet extensions stealing recovery phrases and private keys, and security flaws affecting older Apple devices and Chrome/Firefox users.
