Outer Space Browser Extension
Summary
Upon installation, the Outer Space modifies browser settings to promote a specific web address, effectively redirecting users to that site against their preferences. In addition to browser hijacking, the Outer Space is likely capable of gathering browsing-related data and other pertinent information from the affected system. These platforms might unlawfully collect and track user information without consent, potentially leading to privacy violations and misuse of personal data. This could include fake alerts or notifications that claim the users system is infected or at risk, prompting them to download and install the purported solution, which is actually the browser hijacker. Its paramount for users to remain vigilant and exercise caution when downloading software or clicking on links to avoid inadvertently installing browser hijackers and other Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
