Chrome extensions changing owners then stealing your stuff is not new.
What's new is ways to protect yourself. Mitsukeru LinkSentinel does what it can: background extension traffic monitoring, security-header baseline loss detection, hidden runtime-payload pattern detection, fake overlay/ClickFix detection, and clipboard shell-command warnings.
But the real solid protection comes from LERG - where it monitors your whole system from these miscreants.
