I just got offered by these people to sell my account for my old google play app. Googled the people offering, and I found this thread. Someone in the thread called this out as a malware vector, and I think thats the only way my app would be worth $350. Could this really be an attack vector?Crazy.

I use TamperMonkey, which allows me to read and modify the code. I should probably replace a few of my extensions with TamperMonkey scripts but they don't carry between synced devices so I'd need to transfer them.
