The Firefox browser extension store now has a large number of counterfeit encryption wallet extensions.

Gate News bot message, According to 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Mist Technology, security company Koi recently discovered over 40 counterfeit cryptocurrency wallet extensions in the official Firefox browser plugin store.
