A hacker has breached a Hola VPN developer account and has replaced the official Chrome extension with one that redirected users of the MyEtherWallet.com website to a phishing page controlled by the attacker.

The compromise took place yesterday and only lasted for five hours the MyEtherWallet (MEW) team said in a tweet. The Hola VPN team admitted to the hack.
Original Hola VPN Chrome extension restored
The Hola VPN Chrome extension has now been restored to its clean version, which is yet again available via the Chrome Web Store.

All in all, this was a highly complex hack, but this is not the first time the MyEtherWallet service has faced such an incident.
