Claude for Chrome flaw could let rogue extensions access your Gmail
A flaw in the Claude for Chrome browser add-on could allow a bad add-on to reach information in your Gmail by taking advantage of permissions already granted. This means someone could misuse trusted browser tools to view or handle email content without your knowledge.
Who is at risk
People who use Google Chrome and have the Claude for Chrome add-on installed, especially if they also use other browser add-ons, are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unfamiliar browser add-ons, unexpected Gmail activity, strange account alerts, or messages marked read, sent, or changed without your action.
What to do
Review and remove any browser add-ons you do not fully trust, update Chrome and your add-ons, and check your Gmail account activity and security settings right away.
