TL;DR Summary

A North Korean cybercriminal group called Kimsuky is using a malicious Chrome extension called AF to steal Gmail emails. The attack starts with a phishing email that urges potential victims to install the extension, which immediately begins stealing the contents of emails from the Gmail account. Kimsuky also uses Google Play’s web-to-phone synchronization feature to infect victims’ phones with Android malware. To protect yourself, never click on suspicious emails or download extensions sent to you in an email. Always have antivirus software installed on all your devices and only download apps from the Google Play Store that have been reviewed and given good ratings.
