| 2024-02-05 |  | | en | I think that this "malware" is what's keeping youtube from slowing down your browser. 10/10 I just hope that it keeps on working. |
| 2024-02-04 |  | | en | This one has been reported to be added trojan horse codes by the original creator after he sold the extension. The creator has created a new one called "Fadblock origin". |

| 2024-02-02 |  | | en | Malicious malware, the original owner is no longer running this extension and the current owners are doing something devious with your data. Uninstall this right away and do not download or install this. |
| 2024-01-30 |  | | en | DO NOT INSTALL! This extension has, unfortunately, been transferred multiple times and is no longer trustworthy. The new owner(s) have added malicious code. The original developer has taken action and has released a new version, under a new name called "FadBlock Origin", with clean and unmodified code for everyone to use as he intended. The link to FadBlock Origin is here at the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fadblock-origin-friendly/lmnhcklabcehiohmmeihcheoegomkghm The original developer has replicated the entire database so that those who supported him previously can log in effortlessly again without any re-payment hassles. A security notice has been issued and reported to the Chrome team while they review the malicious code. The original developer is asking the public to report this now malicious extension for abuse. |
| 2024-01-30 |  | | ja | FadBlockの元々のオーナーが違う人へ拡張機能を売り渡し、その人がマルウェアを仕込んだというメールが届きました。 実際、ある時点からこの拡張機能が「全てのウェブサイトのデータ読み取り/変更」を要求してくるようになってます。また、意図的に難読化されたマルウェアの疑いがある数千行のコードが挿入されています。実際にFacebookが乗っ取られたユーザーもいるようです↓（githubページに飛びます） https://github.com/0x48piraj/fadblock/issues/157 譲渡後のオーナーがPayPalでの支払いを可能な状態なままにしているため、法的措置も検討しているそうです。 FadBlock Originというマルウェアを仕込まれる前のものがストアにあるので、一旦そちらを使った方が良さげです、、 |
| 2024-01-26 |  | | en | Malicious extension injects virus into cryptocurrency websites. Stay away! |
| 2024-01-25 |  | | en | DO NOT DOWNLOAD! The original author handed off to this off to a new owner who injected malicious code that asked to read and change all website data |
| 2024-01-25 |  | | en | Why suddenly it ask to read and change all website data? |
| 2024-01-25 |  | | zh | 突然就不能用了 |
