Is RAM Shipping safe?
RAM Shipping sends all manheim.com cookies and Copart/IAAI login usernames to auctiongate.io.
After a Manheim login is observed, the extension reads every manheim.com cookie, including HttpOnly session cookies, and uploads them to auctiongate.io. When a user logs in to Copart or IAAI without an existing session, it captures the username from the login request and sends it with IP address, ISP, city, region and coordinates to the same server.

Par Soft, Inc. - 1 other listing from the same operator, none carrying a finding
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, 17 users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 6 hostnames
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.
