Reporting a Chrome extension for silently injecting ads

[Sudhanshu Kumar]

I used the report abuse button on chrome store and included sample code from the extension to demonstrate the malicious injection. But this extension is still live and public. Is there another forum or group to report such cases?

I reported a chrome extension for malicious ad injection two weeks back. I didnt hear back about this until I reached out to developer support, upon which I received emails suggesting that a team was looking into this.  The responses I received from the cws-develo...@google.com are rather poorly worded, which makes me wonder who is in charge of this account and if they have any contact at all with the relevant fraud/spam detection team.  

As a developer, I am really disappointed that no action is taken, or feedback is given two weeks after something potentially harmful is reported.  How can end-users continue to trust chrome extensions if the job of policing them is not done promptly? Can anyone who works with the relevant team shed some light on this? Thank you

Hi Sudhanshu,

What is the link to the extension in the CWS, and suspect code location (filename, line number)?

Just following up here - would you be able to share the link to the extension in the CWS?

The Chrome Web Store team is currently working on some improvements to the abuse reporting system, which we expect will enable us to act more swiftly on reports in the future. Thanks for your patience.

Best,

James
