Is UPS Tracking safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

UPS Tracking is high risk. Our dynamic analysis captured every default omnibox search being routed through trackingnumbers.org before being redirected to Yahoo Search via an affiliate partner URL. The extension installs itself as the default search engine under the name 'Online', replacing your configured search engine. The Chrome Web Store listing brands this extension as a UPS package-tracking tool; the search-engine override is not disclosed in the listing description. A planted marker search term was visible in the Yahoo redirect URL confirming the full query string passes through the operator's server at trackingnumbers.org/admin-ups/public/link.
