I have a Firefox plug-in, "Ad Limiter"[1]. Recently, the number of users as logged by Mozilla's AMO site began to climb rapidly. When Firefox checks for updates daily, it reports the installed plug-ins to Mozilla, and Mozilla publishes those statistics. The rate of increase in users exceeds the number of downloads. At first I thought Mozilla's statistics system was broken. But that's not the problem.[2] Someone is apparently distributing some form of malware which seems to be impersonating Ad Limiter. They're using Ad Limiter's Mozilla AMO ID number, but a random version number. (Real version numbers are 1.3 to 2.0. Fake version numbers range from 2.17.71 to 1009.99.992. All bogus versions have three-number versions, while all legitimate versions have two-number versions. All this is inferred from Firefox statistics logging. We haven't seen the actual malware yet. If anyone has a copy of Firefox with Ad Limiter installed, and the version isn't between 1.3 and 2.0, we'd really like to see it. Please save a copy of the Firefox add-ons directory before deleting the bogus add-on, and send a copy of the bogus add-on to "info@sitetruth.com". We want to see what this malware is doing in our name. Thanks. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ad-limiter/ [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1152966
