Last update from GIPHY
The GIPHY for Chrome and GIPHY for Gmail extensions were compromised on Saturday June 17 between 11am-1pm ET when they were updated to include a malicious JavaScript file. We detected the issue and released an updated version of each extension immediately. The versions compromised are GIPHY for Chrome 1.4 and GIPHY for Gmail 1.5. The most up-to-date, safe versions are GIPHY for Chrome 1.5 and GIPHY for Gmail 1.6. Only users who updated their Chrome extensions during that window should be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please email support@giphy.com with any questions or concerns.
