This is the second extension that I use on chrome that has been hijacked.
The first was live http headers [0]
I have never had this experience on Firefox.
Is it simply a matter of Chrome being a bigger target?

I thought the attacker stole the account maliciously, but hadn't quite gotten around to inserting the malware by the time it was taken back.
I had strong suspicions that a certain webhost a new client of mine utilized was both prone to attack, and not very forthcoming when past attacks had occurred.
So when I loaded their own website one day and found it full of ads for russian pornography... I confirmed my own bias that the webhost had been hacked... deleted the account, and moved everything over to AWS.
Changed all the passwords, freaked out a bit, etc...
Then I realized that it was just the extension I was running that injected those ads... d'oh!
