The MEGA Chrome extension has been compromised and includes functionality to steal your cryptocurrency

STORY DEVELOPING - UPDATES TO COME

If you use the official MEGA Chrome extension, please stop using it immediately. It includes functionality to collect login usernames and passwords for many common websites, including but not limited to:

Google
Facebook
MyEtherWallet
MyMonero
GitHub
Microsoft Live/OneDrive

All data is being sent to hxxxs://www.megaopac dot host/

Impacts version: 3.39.4

Only the Chrome version is impacted. The Firefox version is safe.

Remediation: uninstall immediately, change important passwords, transfer funds from possible compromised accounts

The MEGA Chrome extension source code has not been updates in four months, suggesting that the account responsible with updating the version given to Google was compromised.
