What stops writers of various Trojan horses and different viruses to write script that will submit data to google data aggregation servers pretending they are Chrome plugin?
With Latest “panda” updates Google hurt a lot of black hat SEO strategists, and in other had give them even more powerful weapon. It is just matter of time when someone will figure out how to abuse this tool.
