Cityscapes Browser Extension
Summary
Upon installation, Cityscapes takes control of crucial browser settings, including the homepage, default search engine, and new tab pages. These techniques may involve blocking access to settings related to removal or reversing any changes that users attempt to make, further complicating the process of reclaiming control over the browser. It likely monitors and records various aspects of users online behavior, such as visited URLs, viewed Web pages, search queries, Internet cookies, usernames, passwords, personally identifiable information and even financial data. PUPs and browser hijackers are often distributed through questionable methods that exploit users lack of awareness or deceive them into unintentionally installing these unwanted software types. Additionally, regularly reviewing and managing installed browser extensions can help maintain a clean and secure browsing experience.
