Malicious extensions can use ChatGPT to steal your personal data - heres how
Summary
LayerX reports that malicious browser extensions can abuse AI prompts in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot to steal sensitive data. The company explains that extensions with DOM access can read, alter, and exfiltrate prompt content without special permissions. LayerX says it tested the attack path successfully and showed how attackers could hide evidence by deleting chat history. The company has also integrated its extension risk scoring into Chrome for Enterprise so IT teams can detect and block risky extensions more effectively.
