People are being urged to be aware of hackers attempting to gain access to personal emails through Google Chrome with a new type of malware.
Scammers are using a fake Chrome browser extension known as AF in a bid to get data from Gmail inboxes, with cybersecurity experts warning that victims of this scam were tricked after they received an email urging them to install a hoax extension.
Although the hackers were initially targeting just Gmail users in South Korea, it has since been spreading to US and Europe, meaning Irish Chrome users should be on high alert.
