Is e-Cert Extension safe?
e-Cert Extension lets vendor sites and other extensions pass method payloads to a Hongkong Post native signing host.
The extension accepts external runtime messages from Hongkong Post e-Cert and hongkongpost.gov.hk pages, and its manifest also allows messages from any installed extension. Its background script forwards each requested method and payload, except version checks, to the native signing host without checking the sender ID or origin.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed e-Cert Extension 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.
