Quote:“Yesterday our deployment team discovered that the Hola Chrome extension which was live for a few hours was not the one that our development team uploaded to the Chrome Store. After an initial investigation, we found that our Google Chrome Store account was compromised and that a hacker uploaded a modified version of the extension to the store.”

Quote:The information about the malicious attack on Hola VPN service was shared with MEW users through Twitter. The Tweet explained that since Hola was hacked for five hours so it was possible for hackers to monitor the activities of some of the MEW users via the extension. The Tweet read:
“Urgent! If you have Hola chrome extension installed and used MEW within the last 24 hrs, please transfer your funds immediately to a brand new account!”
