Malicious Twitch Browser Extension Exposes 30,000 Users' OAuth Tokens to Russian Bot Service
released on 2026-09-11 @ 06:06:37 PM
A malicious browser extension called 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot' distributed on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons captures and forwards users' live Twitch OAuth session tokens to Russian-controlled proxy servers. The extension, with approximately 30,000 Chrome users and 552 Firefox users, markets itself as a quality-of-life tool for blocking ads and unlocking streams. While delivering these features, it secretly extracts users' account-scoped OAuth tokens and forwards them as query parameters to operator-controlled infrastructure. Current versions append tokens inline during video playlist redirects, while earlier builds explicitly POSTed tokens to dedicated collection endpoints. The operator is identified as a commercial Russian bot service called JeetBot, with infrastructure hosted across German and cloud providers.
