Two malicious Firefox add-ons

Hopefully nobody here is infected, but a couple of malicious Firefox add-ons have come to light, Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader and all versions of Master Filer. For details see Security Issue on AMO - Mozilla Add-ons Blog

Wow, scary! To be truthful, I don't know if Mozilla monitors those things routinely, but I'm surprised there's not more of it goin' around...

They have added additional protection at the AMO site since these 2 were discovered, their original malware scanners failed to pick these 2 up. They have also re-scanned the entire add-ons list with multiple scanners to check if any more malware slipped by the original scanners.

That makes me feel better!!!
