Malware Serving Extensions Now Banned By Google“Add to Feedly” and “Tweet this Page”.

Following the recent outrage that some companies are sneaking malware serving code into Google Chrome extensions that are updated silently, the search giant took some steps and removed at least two of them.

So how exactly did this happen? Well, according to Amit Agrawal, the guy behind “Add to Feedly” extension said that an unknown company has acquired his extension and inserted the malicious code afterwards.

Who’s to blame? Google? The Pope?
