Is MightyText - SMS from PC & Text from Computer safe?
MightyText exposes notification settings to any website that embeds its web-accessible helper page.
The extension makes crx-wake-up.html available to all websites, and that page reads selected notification settings from extension local storage when loaded with the mt-webapp or reminders-app client hash. It sends those settings to the parent page with postMessage and also accepts a hash event that asks the background worker to reload the extension.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 60k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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 MightyText SMS 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.
