I voluntarily removed it from the web store after realizing it was caching lots of sensitive data. I eventually started encrypting the stored info but I realized that if the extension ever became very successful, it would become a target and I wasn't comfortable with that.
I hope the developer of this extension will invest more effort in their user's security than a simple blacklist.
- yoavm 10y agoSeems like this extension stores all the data locally, so it's probably much less of a problem.
- alistproducer2 10y agoAs did mine. There are many well known attacks that breaks locally stored data out of its sandbox. If attackers are sure there are bank account numbers, balances, email addresses, and other sensitive info in plaintext, they'll come after it.
- samplers 10y agoDo you still have the code somewhere? I would like to take a look at it.
