• Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
  • The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
  • Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

    The front page there is literally: “Give us your email, so we can find leaks of your email.” It’s exactly the same thing.

      They are talking about the password lookup: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

      But, it’s the same deal. You have to trust they are actually doing what they say. Mozilla uses haveibeenpwned for their basic Monitor service too.

        To be fair, you can check the code they run or just use the API.
        The hash is calculated locally, cut-off and then send, the server returns all hashes it found which start with your one and then you can check if yours in in the list locally.

          Y’know that you can see the requests your browser makes, right? Mind putting in here a screenshot of HIBP uploading your password or any complete hash of it?

          Failing to provide that grants you the “talking shit out of ya ass” award.
