he modified extensions just ripped off the real thing for their stated function, but their real purpose was to hijack your Facebook account. Literally: the ChatGPT For Google extension—the real one—is open-source, so it was trivial to fork the project and throw in code for Facebook stealer malware. Guardio says the creation of these fake extensions probably takes 2 minutes or less.
The particularly pernicious part of this project is that it was not only available on the Chrome Web Store—implying a certain level of trustability—but that it was also advertised using Google sponsored search results. Maybe you read our story about GPT-4 and wanted to try out the new and improved ChatGPT, so you search for "Chat GPT 4". You'll get offered a Chrome extension to slap GPT-4 right into your browser window. Convenient!
Less convenient is that your Facebook account information will be copied from your browser directly into the bad guys' servers, and that'll lead to your account being compromised almost immediately. It's all done programmatically, you know; nobody has to type your password into Facebook. Using API access and clever scripting, your Facebook account gets added to a bot army within minutes or even seconds.
