"targets crypto wallet add-ons" -- OK so is regular sane folk are not at risk.
Oh no, it's gonna steal all my crypto. the crypto i totally own. my crypto. you know, the crypto i use so frequently that i need an extension in my browser to manage it. that crypto.
I bought $15 of DOGE in 2013 and then the hard drive I had it on died. I didn’t ask for the drive back after getting it replaced. I sometimes wonder at what point I would’ve paid to have the data recovered so I could sell. I’m kinda glad I don’t have the option. Seems like such a silly waste of resources.
