737 Chrome VPN Extensions Linked to Brand Impersonation and Browser Traffic Redirection 0 Socket's Threat Research Team identified a campaign of 737 malicious VPN and proxy extensions in the Chrome Web Store, accumulating over 75,000 installs. The extensions, published across 40 developer accounts, target Russian-speaking users seeking access to blocked services. 274 extensions impersonate 66 established VPN brands including Proton VPN, NordVPN, and AmneziaVPN. The extensions route all browser traffic through SOCKS5 proxies controlled by a single operator on port 1082, placing the threat actor in an adversary-in-the-middle position. Premium subscription tiers advertise servers in five countries that do not resolve. The campaign employs DNS-over-HTTPS for evasion, post-approval code substitution, and coordinated review gaming. The operation is linked to a Russian subscription VPN business that names a tax-registered self-employed individual as the contracting party.
