    Clickbait.

    > It turned out that extension.js was a component of the Solidity Language extension for the Cursor AI IDE, which is based on Visual Studio Code and designed for AI-assisted development.

    Malicious VSCode extension stealing crypto. Doesn't have anything to do with Cursor or AI.

      I don't like the title either, I just kept the original.

      Note that this is not VSCode extension, but Cursor one. VSC forks are not allowed using Microsoft's extension marketplace and usually use community-driven Open VSX registry. Which seems to have weaker moderation standards.
