Firefox Monitor available for everyone

The foundation ανακοίνωσε την κυκλοφορία του Firefox Monitor. Πρόκειται για μια δωρεάν υπηρεσία, που δοκιμάζεται από το καλοκαίρι και ενημερώνει τους χρήστες του Firefox (και όχι μόνο) αν έχουν διαρρεύσει them on the internet.

Firefox Monitor is the product of a with him , the creator of 'Have I Been Pwned,' and uses the site's API to work.

The way the "new" service works will be familiar to anyone who has used Troy Hunt's website, Have I Been Pwned. Users simply provide email addresses y in Firefox Monitor and the new service will search the email with a list of existing data breaches. In case it discovers something, it will inform the interested party about whether their data is circulating on the internet. Firefox Monitor

The purpose of Firefox Monitor is to allow users to respond in a timely manner to data breaches, giving them the opportunity to take precautions to stop further surprises with a change of passwords and activation of 2FA authentication.

Although Firefox Monitor doesn't do much more than the 'Have I Been Pwned' page does, it makes the tool available to a much larger audience. Firefox is already installed on hundreds of millions of computers, and too many of the users who use the Mozilla Foundation's browser have no idea whether their data is freely circulating on the Internet.

The Mozilla Foundation has promised to provide a complete end-user security and privacy tool this autumn and the Firefox Monitor seems to be the first to be released.

See the new service.
