Researchers Uncover 19 Malicious Chrome and Edge Extensions That Steal Crypto Wallet Keys

Cybersecurity researchers have identified 19 malicious browser extensions for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge that can steal sensitive information from crypto wallets, including recovery phrases and private keys. Disguised as legitimate tools, these extensions quietly harvest wallet credentials without the user's knowledge, posing a direct threat to digital asset security. The researchers recommend installing extensions only from official stores and regularly checking the permissions and ratings of installed extensions. The report was originally published by U.Today and relayed by Techub News.

Why USDT in a Wallet Still May Not Be Transferable: The Gas Fee Problem

A Foresight explainer breaks down a common point of confusion for first-time crypto wallet users: holding USDT does not mean a transfer can be sent if the wallet lacks the native token required to pay network fees. The article says blockchain transactions, token swaps, dApp approvals and smart contract interactions all consume network resources, and those resources are paid for with gas on the underlying chain rather than with the token being moved. That is why an ERC-20 USDT transfer usually needs ETH, a TRC-20 transfer usually needs TRX, and a BEP-20 transfer usually needs BNB. The piece also outlines several practical issues users should watch for. Gas fees vary with network congestion and with how complex an action is, so a simple transfer and a DEX swap on the same chain can cost very different amounts. If the gas setting is too low, a transaction may remain pending for a long time. If a transaction reaches the chain but fails during execution, the gas used is generally not refunded. Foresight also warns against draining a wallet’s native token balance to zero, since that can leave other assets stuck. For users who do not hold the required native token, the article lists three common solutions: buying a small amount on a centralized exchange and withdrawing it, asking another user to send a small amount for emergency use, or using wallet-integrated gas services such as SafePal’s Gas Station and unified gas balance options.
