If you have come across the Verified-extensions.com site, you have likely been looking for illicit streaming platforms hosting pirated content. However, the Verified-extensions.com site does not host any media. Despite it being an empty page, the Verified-extensions.com site claims to host media that may attract the attention of users and lure them in.

The Verified-extensions.com website will claim that users will be unable to view the media on the page unless they install a Google Chrome extension from Verified-extensions.com. It is likely that the extension promoted by the Verified-extensions.com site is a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that is not to be trusted. However, you do not need to worry about the security of your computer or the safety of your data, as the Verified-extensions.com website is not affiliated with the propagation of malware.

No legitimate application would meddle with your settings without your consent, so this is certainly a red flag.

If you have installed any add-ons of other software affiliated with the Verified-extensions.com site, it is best to remove them from your system. You can do this manually. If you are unsure how to go about with this, you can always trust a reputable security tool to remove any unwanted applications from your system.
