I will leave this as a gallery of emails with offers to buy extension hoverzoom: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670 https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670 Sidenote: The "collaboration" offers come from time to time even to non-extensions projects, if they are reasonably widely used. E.g. simple tools (rather widely used suite of android apps recently sold).

"Your real profit per day will be $ 9000." LOL

  I believe the profit number, even the number of lines > 8 lines of code in the manifest of your extension. As long as they are lines [like ones used to collect card info](https://www.theregister.com/2018/09/11/british_airways_website_scripts/ https://www.theregister.com/2018/09/11/british_airways_websi...) from British Airways (supply chain attack). For how many days will profit be collected is the question (plus the fun criminal investigation).

    Yup, and he won't care about the criminal investigation because from other side of iron curtain v2. But if you're from the side where the nation isn't the cover for criminal enterprise you could get in trouble.

This is fantastic. Too bad they redacted the names. These scumbags deserve to be known. And the saddest part of the story is you don't know if is true or a cover-up. On the other hand it appears to be MIT. Are Google Chrome extensions reproducible?

Out of curiosity, those Russian messages are in Russian because you are Russian or an eastern solicitor simply doesn't give a F?

  What Russian messages?

    06/07/2016 and 10/30/2017, and 11/22/2018, I think there may be one or two more but I am too lazy. cool idea to publish those. i remember when the pirate bay was publishing takedown notices in a special, public, category

      I am not the the developer of the extension. It's just interesting issue I have come across.

Some of those offers are insultingly low. $3000 to purchase the whole project? Really?
