This has been making the rounds in a surprising number of media outlets, but I thought I'd post it to AE to see if anyone here had some opinions or thoughts.
Summary: The FlightSimLabs A320X Installer for P3D V4 was found to contain a Chrome Password Dump tool, which if activated would take any passwords stored in the Chrome browser and upload them directly to an FSLabs server. More information can be found in the links below:
The Reddit post from the person who discovered the Malware:

This is certainly the biggest flight sim news I've seen, making onto mainstream tech websites like Motherboard and Ars Technica. However, Avsim has been deleting threads about this, so I thought I'd bring some discussion here.
Thoughts?
