This is a huge problem in the Chrome Web Store and Google is doing very little about it. If you ever made an extension that is even just a little popular, expect to get acquisition offers by people who want to add malicious features somewhere between click fraud, residential IP services or even password stealers.

Same for Play Store. I have 2 games and I keep getting offers all the time. The last one offered $2000 for the developer account or a $100 monthly rent. From their email pitch: > We’re now offering from $500 to $2000 for a one-time purchase of a developer account that includes apps, or a rental deal starting from $100. > No hidden conditions — quick process, secure agreement, and immediate payment upon verification. > We’re simply looking for reliable accounts to publish our client apps quickly, and yours could be a perfect match.
