SlowMist: Encryption users should be wary of browser plug-ins being sold to malicious parties

SlowMist stated that encrypted users need to be vigilant as browser extension plugins may be sold to malicious actors without their knowledge. Malicious actors can easily purchase a Chrome extension and hijack existing users' browsing traffic, redirecting it to wherever they want. No alerts, no prompts. Unless new permissions are needed, no abnormalities will be noticed. In @tuckner's investigation, it was found that an extension with 400,000 users had changed owners, so stay alert.
