What our analysis found

Email Finder by ContactOut – Email Lookup Tool, used by 600,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a well-known email‑finding and LinkedIn integration tool. All network requests go to the publisher’s own domain ([domain withheld]), and the data collected (LinkedIn page contents, browsing history) is disclosed in the Chrome Web Store data‑collection categories (Web history, Website content). The permissions (scripting, cookies, activeTab) are necessary for its core functionality and are used in a manner consistent with the extension's stated purpose. No evidence of data exfiltration to third parties, credential theft, or obfuscation beyond standard was found.
