The Extension Trojan, which first surfaced in 2021, has made a troubling resurgence in a recent campaign, impacting over 300,000 users globally.1
Researchers have identified 22 indicators of compromise (IoCs) related to the attack earlier this August. But more artifacts could remain in the DNS.
The WhoisXML API research team’s in-depth analysis of the threat led to the discovery of:
- 84 email-connected domains
- 28 IP addresses, 24 of which turned out to be malicious
- 38 string-connected domains
In relation to browser extension abuse similar to what the Extension Trojan did, we also searched for possible signs of typosquatting in the DNS and uncovered more than a hundred domains potentially mimicking the most widely used search browser plug-ins.
