Is Auto Bidder safe?
Auto Bidder fetches shared Copart and IAAI logins from its vendor's server and types them into the auction login forms.
On Copart and IAAI login pages the extension hides the page, asks the vendor's backend for an account, and fills in or submits the returned credentials. It also reports bids, page visits, watchlist and won-vehicle invoice data, tagged with your bidder account and public IP, to the same backend. It disables itself if a debugger is attached or a required companion extension is missing.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Auto Bidder contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
