Israeli researchers created extension that typosquats popular Dracula theme that has over 7 million installs on the VSCode Marketplace.
Extension uses the actual code from the legitimate Darcula theme but also includes an added script that collects system information, including the hostname, number of installed extensions, device's domain name, and operating system platform.
Extension quickly gained traction, getting mistakenly installed by multiple high-value targets, including a publicly listed company with a $483 billion market cap, major security companies, and national justice court network.
