Attackers prey on inexperienced Google Chrome users.

Quote:
In a new post today on BitDefender's Malware City blog, the company warns Google Chrome users of malware-laced emails. Attackers are reportedly sending unsolicited messages informing users of a new Chrome extension that helps "better organize your documents" received via email. A seemingly innocent link is provided, and once clicked, users are redirected to a clone of the Google Chrome Extensions page.

That's my main browser. I'll keep my eye out for any suspicious email links. Thanks for the heads up!

Good to know. People who don't know any better are bound to click on the link. I'll pass this around to some of my less computer savvy friends.
