Chrome extensions with 1.4M installs covertly track visits and inject code
Google has removed browser extensions with more than 1.4 million downloads from the Chrome Web Store after third-party researchers reported they were surreptitiously tracking users’ browsing history and inserting tracking code into specific ecommerce sites they visited.
The five extensions flagged by McAfee purport to offer various services, including the ability to stream Netflix videos to groups of people, take screenshots, and automatically find and apply coupon codes. Behind the scenes, company researchers said, the extensions kept a running list of each site a user visited and took additional actions when users landed on specific sites.
The extensions sent the name of each site visited to the developer-designated site d.langhort.com, along with a unique identifier and the country, city, and zip code of the visiting device. If the site visited matched a list of ecommerce sites, the developer domain instructed the extensions to insert JavaScript into the visited page. The code modified the cookies for the site so that the extension authors receive affiliate payment for any items purchased.
To help keep the activity covert, some of the extensions were programmed to wait 15 days after installation before beginning the data collection and code injection. The extensions McAfee identified are:
| Name | Extension ID | Users |
| Netflix Party | mmnbenehknklpbendgmgngeaignppnbe | 800,000 |
|
Netflix Party 2 |

| AutoBuy Flash Sales | gbnahglfafmhaehbdmjedfhdmimjcbed | 20,000 |
As of Wednesday, all five extensions have been removed from the Chrome Web Store, a Google spokesperson said. Removing the extensions from its servers isn’t the same as uninstalling the extensions from the 1.4 million infected devices. People who have installed the extensions should manually inspect their browsers and ensure they no longer run.
‘The Northman’ $1.4M, ‘Bad Guys’ $1.1M, Nicolas Cage Satire $835K In Thursday Previews – Deadline
Friday early afternoon update: Universal/Dreamworks Animation’s The Bad Guys is looking to win the weekend with $21.5M, while the studio’s sister label Focus Features’ The Northman is coming in at the top of projections with $12.4M in fourth place. Bad Guys is eyeing close to $7M today at 4,008, while Northman is spotting $5M at 3,231.
There’s a fight for second between Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with $15M-$16M for the weekend. Dumbledore is in weekend 2 and could seeing its running total rise to north of $69M at 4,245 sites, while Sonic is headed for north of $145M in weekend 3 at 3,809 venues.
Lionsgate’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive is looking to coming in ahead of its $5M-$7M projection with at least $3M today and between $8M-$9M for the weekend. Again, these figures could fluctuate by tomorrow AM, but that’s how it’s looking right now.
Everett
FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Universal had the most to boast about at the box office Thursday night, hitting the 18-34 arthouse demo with Robert Eggers’ Focus Features Viking epic, The Northman, which drew $1.35M in previews, and families with DreamWorks Animation’s The Bad Guys, which made $1.15M.
Lionsgate’s Nicolas Cage satire The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent made $835K in pre-opening grosses. That number includes paid screenings from last weekend as well as previews which started at 6PM last night. All three movies have solid reviews and are certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes: Northman (89%), Bad Guys (86%) and Unbearable (89%). That should be convincing enough to spur non-frequent moviegoers to go to one of these three movies, however, Unbearable might come up short.
Paramount; Warner Bros. Pictures
Despite the onslaught of wide release fare, it’s expected that either Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in its second weekend or Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in its third weekend take No. 1 with $18M-$20M a piece. It wouldn’t be shocking to see The Bad Guys muscle its way in there despite the fact that pre-release tracking has the animated pic at $15M; the movie booked at 4,000 locations. Last night’s previews for The Bad Guys began at 5PM in 3,000 locations.
Dumbledore took 2nd place to Sonic 2 on Monday and Wednesday. The lackluster audience response is believed to be impacting Dumbledore‘s traction. Last night the Warner Bros. sequel made an estimated $1.93M to Sonic 2‘s $1.9M. Fantastic Beasts 3 ends the week with an estimated $53.1M at 4,208 to Sonic 2‘s $41M at 4,258. The latter’s running total is $130.6M, which is 16% ahead of the two-week cume of Sonic the Hedgehog back in 2020.

Northman, which was co-financed by New Regency, is expected to make $8M-$12M at 3,223 theaters, which is low for a movie that cost $70M net. Focus has been supporting the movie extensively with TV spots. Northman‘s Thursday is ahead of the Tuesday night previews of MGM/UAR’s House of Gucci ($1.3M), another adult skewing wide release, and next to pre-pandemic titles, specifically male-leaning, the Eggers movie is ahead of Warner Bros.’ action comedy War Dogs which did $1.25M and opened to $14.6M in late August 2016.
Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent hopes to find an audience. Tracking has this one in the $5M-$7M range, which is a sad start for a movie that played like gangbusters out of its SXSW world premiere. The pic cost $30M before P&A, and Lionsgate held this one for theatrical rather than sell it off during the pandemic. The comedy is playing at 3,036 theaters and opens abroad in 40 territories including France, Australia, Benelux and the UK. Pre-opening money is higher than UAR’s Wrath of Man which did $500K and an $8.3M opening, and Lionsgate’s previous Moonfall which did $700K and a $9.8M opening.
Elsewhere on Thursday night: A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once made an estimated $873K in third at 2,220 taking its four-week running total to $21.4M. The movie, as we told you yesterday, is bound to become the fourth highest for the New York-based indie studio with an ultimate stateside end around $28M.
Paramount’s The Lost City at 3,430 theaters posted an estimated $550K for a fourth week near $9M and a running total of $81M.
In fifth place was Sony’s Father Stu at 2,705 venues, which grossed $542K yesterday for a first week of $8.2M and running total of $10.5M.
George Floyd protesters granted $14M in excessive force lawsuit against police
Denver protesters from the racial justice rallies in 2020 were granted $14 million after a jury found that the police used excessive force on them.
A jury of eight found that 11 protesters had their free speech rights and rights to be protected from unreasonable force violated, while others only had their free speech rights violated, The Associated Press reported.
The lawsuit came after police used shotguns that contained Kevlar-bags filled with lead to quell protests, with Zach Packard awarded $3 million after he was shot in the head and taken to an intensive care unit.
The protests began in response to the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was killed by the police in May 2020.
“Hopefully, what police departments will take from this is a jury of regular citizens takes these rights very seriously,” Timothy Macdonald, one of the prosecutors, said after the decision, according to the AP.
The city argued in court that the police made mistakes, but they were overwhelmed by the destruction and size of the protests.
Protesters were seen throwing rocks and canned food at authorities while causing millions in damages.
“The violence and destruction that occurred around the community required intervention,” Lindsay Jordan, one of the defense lawyers, said, the AP noted.
The lawsuit alleged the city was also responsible because they gave the police officers too much leniency in defining “less lethal” devices.
The police department says five officers have received disciplinary action for their actions during the protests.
The Hill has reached out to the city and Macdonald for comment.
Eagles make Jason Kelce highest-paid center in NFL on 1-year, $14M contract
Jason Kelce announced Thursday that he will return for his 12th season, and he will be paid handsomely for another year anchoring the Eagles’ offensive line.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Kelce agreed to a one-year contract that is worth essentially $14 million — a figure that will make Kelce the highest-paid center in the NFL on an annual basis. The Lions’ Frank Ragnow previously held that distinction at $13.5 million per season.
Kelce’s play certainly merits his placement atop the position. Kelce was named first-team All-Pro for the fourth time of his career this past season after allowing just one sack in 17 games.
With the future of one of the pillars on the defensive side of the ball, Fletcher Cox, in doubt, Eagles fans can take solace knowing that Kelce will be suiting up for Philly in 2022.
World’s largest triceratops skeleton going up for auction could fetch more than $1.4M
Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.
The world’s largest known triceratops skeleton is going up for auction.
Known as “Big John,” the triceratops will be sold by the Drouot auction house in Paris on Oct. 21, according to a press release.
The giant dinosaur fossil is estimated to sell for between $1.4 million (1.2 million euros) and $1.7 million (1.5 million euros), according to the Associated Press.
The outlet reported that the dinosaur will be the centerpiece of the Naturalia auction organized by Alexandre Giquello.
WORLD’S OLDEST SINGLE MALT SCOTCH IS GOING TO AUCTION, COULD BE WORTH $200K
Reuters reported that the dinosaur’s skull alone is over 8-and-a-half feet (2.62 meters) long and over 6-and-a-half feet (2 meters) wide.

According to Reuters, the first piece of Big John was found in South Dakota by paleontologists in 2014. They were able to unearth 60% of his skeleton – more than 200 bones – including his skull, Reuters reported.
The dinosaur, which walked the earth more than 66 million years ago, received its name from the owner of the land where the bones were found.

In the past, dinosaur bones were mostly sold to museums, according to Reuters. However, private buyers are becoming more interested in fossils.
“I imagine there are about 10 buyers worldwide for this kind of piece,” auctioneer Alexandre Giquello told Reuters.
