A million users of one Chrome extension sent some data to the IP address of the home office of the developers of that extension, a company. Hype title.<p>The security researcher&#x2F;Analyst quoted in the article asserts the data went to &quot;One dodgy IP&quot; address of a server in the US therefore he &quot;would take an educated guess it’s not going to be good news.&quot; No mention at all of what kind of data it was, or if the data was encrypted in transit.<p>The only thing &quot;sneaky&quot; described in the article is the extension downloading this functionality after a few days, ostensibly to avoid detection by a Google review board or other security auditors.

Why are MILLION and ONE capitalized?
