Slow Mist: Encrypted users need to beware of browser plugins being sold to malicious parties

SlowMist posted that crypto users need to be wary of browser extensions that could be sold to malicious parties without their knowledge. Malicious parties can easily buy a Chrome extension and hijack existing users' browsing traffic, redirecting it anywhere they want. No alerts, no prompts. Nothing unusual will be detected unless new permissions are required. During @tuckner's investigation, it was found that an extension with 400,000 users had changed owners, be vigilant.
