Posted on Monday, February 8, 2010 in Windows miscellaneous Softwares

Mozilla Confirms Infected Firefox Extensions Slipped Past Security

Posted on Sunday, February 7, 2010 in Windows News

Experimenting with new extensions is part of what makes Firefox great, but if you downloaded either the “Sothink Web Video Downloader”, or “Master Filer”, you probably snagged a nasty Trojan for your troubles. According to an entry on the Mozilla Blog both these extensions contain code which exploit vulnerabilities in all versions of Windows, and were downloaded close to 5,000 times before being spotted.

The extensions in question were contained in the “experimental” area of the official Firefox add-on site, and while it might seem like little consolation for anyone who got infected, users grabbing extensions from this section are warned before download that this could happen.
