Just noticed that Mozilla has released a new service called Firefox Monitor. It’s a data breach monitor that checks if your email address is part of any online data breach. Even better, it also monitors your email addresses if you have an account with them so you can get alerted automatically when a breach has been published.
Since I have a Firefox account, I see a breach summary for my monitored email address in the Firefox Dashboard. That includes how many email addresses have been monitored, how many breaches I have suffered and how many passwords I should never use. You can keep scrolling down for more details about each breach that affects your email address.
Moreover, I also get a well-formatted email alert sent to me should any of my monitored email addresses get found in any newly discovered data breaches.
I can also add more email addresses to my account to get monitored for future alerts as well. Simply go to the account avatar and click Preferences. And put in the new email address at bottom of the age and click Send Verification Link button.
Once verified, it will be added to the monitor list automatically. Firefox Monitor will also send an email alert if the email address is part of any existing data breaches.
Overall, Firefox Monitor is another great addition to the current list of data breach monitors. Though HIBP still remains the best of data breach monitor on the market with additional features like API, password check as well as domain monitoring, etc.
