Firefox Monitor is a data breach notification service offered by Mozilla that warns you if your online accounts have been involved in a data leak. Using the Have I Been Pwned database, Firefox Monitor keeps track of known data breaches and notifies you if your online accounts are compromised, providing guidance on how to proactively protect yourself going forward.
To resolve data breaches:
- Open your web browser and go to the Firefox Monitor website at monitor.firefox.com.
- Sign in to your Firefox Account.
- Scroll down to review your breaches and click the Resolve this breach link.
- After clicking this link, you’ll be brought to the data breach overview page, which has steps to take to protect your information. For instance, if a password was compromised in a breach, it would be safest to change that password right away, and also for any other accounts that may share that password.
- Once you feel like you’re ready to put this breach behind you, click
- Back at your dashboard, you’ll find a progress bar so you can keep track of your resolved breaches.
