Potential Data Leak in "Immersive Translation" Plugin Prompts Official Suspension of Bilingual Webpage Sharing Feature
BlockBeats News, August 9 — The official team behind the "Immersive Translation" plugin has announced the temporary suspension of its bilingual webpage sharing feature. According to the statement, "We have recently received community feedback that a small number of users inadvertently shared pages that may contain personal information while using this feature, and did not promptly delete them from their personal center. To prevent potential privacy risks, we have decided to temporarily take this feature offline, and it will not be reinstated until a comprehensive privacy protection mechanism is established. The 'Immersive Translation' team emphasized that there has been no leakage of any translation content or backend user data, as externally accessible links are only generated when users actively use the bilingual webpage sharing feature."
In addition, according to community reports, some users have claimed that the "Immersive Translation" plugin leaked user privacy due to improper permission controls, with some users reporting that their wallet private keys were exposed and that there are vulnerabilities in the "webpage snapshot" feature.
BlockBeats note: As of now, no authoritative security agency has issued a warning regarding this incident. Users are advised to remain rational and pay attention to asset protection. BlockBeats will continue to follow up on the progress of this event.
