Cybersecurity experts have discovered two dangerous Google Chrome extensions that have been harvesting users' private information from conversations with artificial intelligence "chatbots," including ChatGPT and DeepSeek.
The extensions called “Chat GPT for Chrome with GPT‑5, Claude Sonnet & DeepSeek AI” and “AI Sidebar with Deepseek, ChatGPT, Claude, and more” were installed by over 900 users before being removed from the official Chrome store.
They secretly sent conversations and pages visited by users to external servers every 30 minutes.
Experts warn that this practice, known as "prompt poaching," can put personal information, business ideas, and confidential data at risk, making them accessible to external attackers.
Users are advised to check their add-ons, remove those of unclear origin, and not grant permission to access page content without being sure. /Telegraph/
