ParaSiteSnatcher: How Malicious Chrome Extensions Target Brazil

Our investigations on potential security threats uncovered a malicious Google Chrome extension that we named “ParaSiteSnatcher.” The ParaSiteSnatcher framework allows threat actors to monitor, manipulate, and exfiltrate highly sensitive information from multiple sources. ParaSiteSnatcher also utilizes the powerful Chrome Browser API to intercept and exfiltrate all POST requests containing sensitive account and financial information before the HTTP request initiates a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection.
