Urgent: Malicious Extension Targeting Solana Reddit

Hey everyone, Meow from Jupiter here.

Wanted to bring to everyone’s urgent attention a chrome extension that has appears to be targeting Reddit users called “Bull Checker“. If you have this installed, please uninstall this right away.

This software has drained quite a few people already:

Users with this extension would interact with the dApps as per normal, have the simulation show up as normal, but have the possibility of their tokens being maliciously transferred to another wallet upon transaction completion.

For full technical details, refer to my post here:

We believe that many reddit users might have gotten exposure to this extension because of a few postings by u/solana_og got a ton of visibility (tho he appears to have edited away mention of this extension)

The same user has been promoting Bull Checker many many times on reddit over past 2 weeks, so we fear that many users would have seen it by now.

Extensions are especially tricky because they have access to read/write data across anything you visit, so please do not install anything you don’t 100% trust.

Besides this, I am very sure that there are other extensions out there, it is just that this one is probably the most prominent now till to the effective marketing.

It breaks our hearts to have some users have a large amount of their hard earned savings from years of hard degening get drained, so please please please stay safe!
