Is PAYBACK Internet Assistent (PIA) safe?
PAYBACK Internet Assistent includes PAYBACK API credentials and uses them for CAPI requests.
PAYBACK Internet Assistent stores PAYBACK API and Basic Auth credentials inside its bundled background script. The extension uses those credentials when it sends CAPI requests to PAYBACK's production service endpoint.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.
