Threat Research Team identified a cross-store browser extension, “Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,” that forwards each user’s live Twitch OAuth session token to proxy servers operated by a Russian commercial bot service. The extension ships on both the Chrome Web Store (extension ID pnhhdhhcadcjfckjhpmjneldiegbojfb, 30,000 users) and Firefox Add-ons (twitchenhancedviewer@example.com, 552 users). Both listings are live at time of writing.
I still don’t understand why people aren’t using ublock in 2026.
i mean it only blocks like 80-90% of twitch ads so people sometimes use other adblockers for twitch alongside ublock
however the twitch adblockers never really worked for me, broke playback all the time so i never use them
