A while back i posted about someone using the exact source code of my own extension and including malware in the code to scam people out of money. Well he removed my extension replica, but he still has extensions that are 500+ installs containing malware.

I was told to report such issues using the one stop support which i did, multiple times, and received an email of the report going through, i also contacted people who were victims of the scam themselves, and they reported that extension through the store. 10s of reports, weeks go buy, and no action, all the mean while the extension continues amassing more and more installers.

This is the extension in question:
1) the extension is around gambling content, so Grey Copper
2) the extension maliciously changes clipboard content so when crypto addresses are recognized theyre changed to addresses of the scammer (de-obfuscated content script below)

The scammer even emailed me saying they made more than 60k USD with 1 extension that was removed called roobet helper.
