Steam users are being targeted by a scammer that's offering apparently helpful Chrome extensions for free, but is actually using them to steal items from victims' Steam inventory.

In this particular "campaign" the targets are players of the popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) online first-person shooter game, and specifically those who use CSGODouble, a site where user can gamble CS:GO skins.

The malicious extensions are named CSGODouble Theme Changer, CS:GO Double Withdraw Helper, Csgodouble AutoGambling Bot, Improved CSGODouble, and so on, and some are still available for download on the Chrome Web Store.

When users install them, they allow the extensions to read and change all their data on the websites they visit.
