Really? Installing an extension without describing it's actually an extension? http://sendvid.com/2p3ujeoz No available on Chrome Web Store. No https site.
A quick Google search revealed no information about this, so I installed it in Firefox, just to take a look. This is the page that opens when you click on its icon. Note the multiple references to "ransmoware," lol. Its not clear exactly how it works. Anyway I'm about to remove it. It is available and installs from the Chrome store. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/securycloud/idjfkeglmnclmpmjcgojjgpfafeoeapm I use Chrome Store Foxified to install Chrome extensions in Firefox. https://www.ghacks.net/2016/05/23/install-google-chrome-extensions-firefox/
that extension seems to do the following: 1. assigns your endpoint (browser) a specific trackable guid (identifier) 2. snags your chrome version number 3. snags a list of your installed extensions (date/time installed, status, etc) 4. sends the guid, chrome version and list of extensions to their API their api doesn't use hsts or rewriting to direct their api calls to https, so i was able to modify the unpacked extension to not use https, allowing me to capture traffic w/wireshark. i loaded up the unpacked extension into my vm's test browser and verified that all it does is send the stuff i mentioned to them. their api returns no result or confirmation, so it doesn't appear to do anything useful at all. edit: additionally, the chrome store's listing for it has a handful of reviews that appear to have been seeded by the developers - the review users' photos are stock headshot photos and the reviews have similar misspellings to those in the extension, lol. i certainly wouldn't install it.
