The possibility of what malicious extensions could gain access to (credit card #s, passwords, bank accounts, email accounts), combined with the ease of installing and lack of suspicion users have with these extensions really scares me.
Does anyone know how actively moderated the Chrome Extensions store is?
I know recently Google made all developers use a credit card to verify names better, but this seems more of a reactive safety measure, i.e. after lots of people get hacked, Google can provide prosecutors with information.
