We are also considering a service to notify people when new breaches include their personal data.”įirefox Monitor will begin testing next week, with invites to approximately 250,000 mainly US-based users to be given out to try out Firefox Monitor. The site will offer recommendations on what to do in the case of a data breach, and how to help secure all accounts. The announcement from Mozilla added: “Visitors to the Firefox Monitor website will be able to check (by entering an email address) to see if their accounts were included in known data breaches, with details on sites and other sources of breaches and the types of personal data exposed in each breach. On Firefox, HIBP will be baked into a new service on the browser called Firefox Monitor.
The number of people using the service and learning about insecure passwords may very well increase thanks to the tie-ups. I’m reaching 0.06% of them via the notification service and not a whole lot more in terms of people coming to the site and doing an ad hoc search (usually 100k – 200k people a day),” Hunt added. “Of the 5.1 billion records that are in HIBP today, there’s 3.1B unique email addresses. Hunt said on his blog that his subscriber base, which reached over two million, was currently “a tiny, tiny drop in the ocean.” MANILA, Philippines – Troy Hunt, the man behind data breach notification service I Have Been Pwned (HIBP), announced on Tuesday, June 26, that HIBP would be baked into password management software 1Password and the Mozilla Firefox browser to expand the reach of the service.
