The extensions, named "ahban.shiba" and "ahban.cychelloworld," were downloaded seven and eight times, respectively, before they were eventually removed from the store.

And presumably the researchers count as two of these 15 downloads.

Its not great that they were up for so long but luckily these were no designed to attract users.
