Viruses in extensions. People lose money.

Reported by l2mad...@gmail.com, Mar 8 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/uniontrade/njlpjhpiacdkmgpigeaelamkfadhipkd
2. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ta/iokhmekjclbaieflhfpdnkfkiglfkjbi?hl=en-US
3. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/everymarket/iipipehombcckponnfapjfhkadkccehh?hl=ru

What is the expected behavior?
Data spreads malicious, please block them!

They wind up reviews and use fake ratings. Their code contains a special script, which instead of a real bot, sends a bot fake. And people lose a lot of money every day.

We also sent an email to James Wagner, please, let him read =)

Found. Have deciphered. Found a malicious code. We removed the video. Waited for a response from the support of Google Chrome all this for 1 day.

Wait for the lock extensions - infinity.

Both extensions have parts of source JavaScript code intentionally obfuscated which can be seen by inspecting the CRX file. I didn't install them though but the very fact of obfuscation looks suspicious.

I don't understand why Chrome WebStore doesn't have automatic filters to detect and block extensions with obfuscated code. Or maybe those filters are outdated and need periodic facelifts.

Reporter, use "report abuse" link on the extension page: two of the 4 reported extensions are already removed.

Comment 12 by l2mad...@gmail.com, Mar 10 2017

Bro. At them this function does not work. Report system is the worst development.

Comment 13 by woxxom@gmail.com, Mar 10 2017

I've used "report abuse" several times, it works, but it takes time. Maybe they have some threshold so that a human looks at the extension once it was reported like three times (guessing).
