There was a previous one removed a few months ago for malware called HBO Max Watch Party. Was that it? If you have a specific extension id I can file a bug on your behalf.

And after reading about the situation internally, I can confirm there are dozens of people working on this problem, and that you have no idea what you're talking about. So please try to be a bit more humble.

Actually never mind, I double checked and it was just HBO watch party (it is still up and has the malware). I appreciate if you can take a look at this.

This is the link to the malicious extension.

It has been removed, along with a dozen others that did similar tricks. I also looked for a prior report and didn't find any for this extension, which suggests to me that the extension has not been reported before. I suggest in the future using the existing malware reporting forms on the Chrome extension store, rather than venting in HN comment threads.
