Mozilla Monitor
This is not the first time you have sent an email to me indicating I should "View all sites where your info is exposed", and each time I receive your emails the sites you suggest are sites I have never seen before, let alone logged into with a password.
I use a Password Organizer Book, with all of my logins and passwords for each site I use. I do not use a password app, and have NEVER used a password app. Each time I go to the website you suggest, It's always a site I have never seen before so it would be impossible to login and change the password. I always check my Password Organizer Book to make sure.
I don't know what you want me to do since I cannot login to the website you are suggesting. Is there action I should be taking? I don't know what it would be, but if you know please let me know.

Hi Rhonda, actual human here.
Many if not most data breaches involve data brokers and their customers. The information they compile/purchase tends to focus on marketing data (the better to spam/scam you with) rather than being sensitive account credentials. There isn't much to do about those kinds of breaches except to perhaps be aware when a unique user name has gone into the wild so you aren't fooled if it is used in a phishing message.

Greetings
Thank you for your detailed explanation, Rhonda. It sounds like you're experiencing confusion due to how the Mozilla Monitor and its alerts work. Let me clarify:
What the Mozilla Monitor Is Doing?
The Mozilla Monitor is a tool that scans the web for data leaks (e.g., exposed passwords, email addresses, or personal info) and alerts users if their data appears in public repositories (like dark web marketplaces or hacked databases). However, it’s not a tool to "check your passwords", it’s more of a data breach alert system.
When you receive an email like "View all sites where your info is exposed", it means: 1. Your data (e.g., email, password, or personal info) was found in a public database (e.g., a hacked site or a data leak). 2. The site(s) listed may have been hacked, and their data is now available online. 3. You might not have logged into these sites, but the breach still affects you if your personal info was leaked (e.g., your email was used to register for the site).
Why the sites sre unknown to you: - The breach might not involve your accounts: The data leak could include email addresses or phone numbers that were collected by the site, not necessarily your passwords. - The sites listed are not necessarily the ones you used: The Mozilla Monitor might flag sites that exposed data (e.g., a third-party service or a company that shared your info with another entity). - You’re not the one who leaked the data: The breach is a security flaw on the site’s end, not your fault.
If you believe the sites listed are incorrect or irrelevant to you, let me know
Best Regards sm
