⚠️ Urgent Security Warning:
I Finally Discovered HOW Scammers Installed the Extension That Changed My Binance Deposit Address!
In my previous post, I exposed a malicious Chrome extension (“Save to Google Drive” v4.0.5) that hijacked my Binance deposit address, swapping my real USDT (TRC20) wallet for a scam address, causing me to lose assets.
🔍 Here’s the shocking discovery:
The scammers didn’t just trick me into installing the extension—they silently injected it during a fake “free software” download from an untrusted website! These shady sites bundle extra programs into installers. When you click “Next” or “Agree” to download the unsafe free software.
A hidden extension is silently added to your browser.
It has dangerous permissions, like:
“Read and change all data on every site you visit”
“Modify clipboard data”
“Inject scripts”
Once installed, the extension secretly alters what you see on Binance, showing a scam wallet address right on the official Binance website — not a phishing site!
💡 How to Protect Yourself Right Now:
1. Only download software from trusted sources — avoid shady “free software” sites.
2. Regularly check your list of extensions.
3. Remove any extension you don’t 100% trust, especially those with suspicious permissions.
4. Always verify your deposit address using a second device or the official Binance mobile app.
5. Consider using the Binance desktop app, which is safer than browsers.
📢 Message to Binance Security Team:
Extension-based attacks are becoming a serious threat.
I strongly urge Binance to educate users about these risks and possibly develop browser security checks to detect front-end address injection.
Stay vigilant, and let’s protect our crypto community together! 🙏
