• Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
  • The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
  • Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

    They could just look for names, then hash those names and compare them to your hashed name. So technically that don’t need to store your data, just hashes.

      I’m all for privacy but worrying about giving one of the most trustworthy companies around your name seems a bit much.

      You’d also have to give them your card details to pay for it.

      This would also require searching and indexing the entire system as opposed to searching it.
