I just got offered by these people to sell my account for my old google play app. Googled the people offering, and I found this thread. Someone in the thread called this out as a malware vector, and I think thats the only way my app would be worth $350. Could this really be an attack vector?Crazy.

    Oh dang, you just awakened a memory but I can’t remember which extension it was… same thing, started seeing ads injected into search and the YouTube sidebar.

    Really scary given extensions auto-update, who thought that would be a good idea?
