Thanks for the heads-up (Fortunately, I do not use any of these extensions):
What to do
Check your computer to see if you have any of these extensions:

Emoji keyboard online (Chrome)
Free Weather Forecast (Chrome)
Unlock Discord (Chrome)
Dark Theme (Chrome)
Volume Max (Chrome)
Unblock TikTok (Chrome)
Unlock YouTube VPN (Chrome)
Geco colorpick (Chrome)
Weather (Chrome)
Unlock TikTok (Edge)
Volume Booster (Edge)
Web Sound Equalizer (Edge)
Header Value (Edge)
Flash Player (Edge)
Youtube Unblocked (Edge)
SearchGPT (Edge)
Unlock Discord (Edge)

If you find any of the above extensions, try doing the following:

Clear all browsing data (history, cookies, cached files, site data) to remove any tracking identifiers or session tokens that may have been stolen or set by the malicious extension. Note: you will then have to log in on a lot of sites since they will not remember you.
Monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity if you visited any sensitive sites (such as online banking) while one of these extensions was installed. Make sure to change your passwords for those accounts.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where possible for added protection.
Reset your browser settings to default. This can help undo any changes the extension may have made to your search engine, homepage, or other settings. Note: this will also undo any changes you have made manually. Alternatively, look for signs like unexpected redirects, changed search engines, or new toolbars.
Keep an eye on your email and text messages for security alerts or notifications about unfamiliar access.
Make sure your browser and all remaining extensions are up to date.
Run a full system Malwarebytes scan to check for additional infections. This will also allow you to remove all affected extensions from Chrome and Edge. Malwarebytes blocks these domains so our users are safe.
