By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
77 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
It's likely your password was exposed in a breach.
You can check and see if your email addresses were part of breaches using services like this one:
Once you're part of a breach, you information will be spread on lists, and bad people will send your own password back at you. I have to admit, the first time it happened to me, it was alarming to see one of my real (but older) passwords. They'll threaten and try to scare you, and demand payment in Bitcoin.
I've been using strong passwords that are always unique ever since.
Most songs these days are stored digitally by artists and producers so when people are working on a song they usually have a copy on their computer, email, phone, cloud storage, etc. Hackers target specific people and obtain the songs in different ways. Most search through database dumps for emails and passwords in hope to login to their email or try and crack passwords to email accounts by using brute forcing (uses a lot of computing power, graphics cards and takes a long time). (Check if your email is a part of any major company breaches) Others who are close with important people could have access and leak it (Kanye's cousin would be a great example, notable for being the "dirty motherfucker" that stole his laptop). Not sure if this happens often but another technique would be using mobile exploits and get filesystem access wirelessly (which does happen and why you should keep your phone's software up to date) to get the files. These files then get sold on websites such as leakth.is and are either leaked to the public or private buyers buy them and keep them to themselves.
TL:DR: hackerman
If you still don't trust it there is also an alternative from Mozilla which does exactly the same thing: https://monitor.firefox.com
They get the breach data from the same source, but if you think your email is safer with Mozilla then this is a good alternative.
What probably happened is that some site that she used got hacked and they stored passwords unencrypted. The e-mail address, password combinations are sold for pennies to hackers who try to monetize them. She should change passwords on any other site where she used that password. She can probably find which site leaked the password here or here. Don't engage with the scammers.
Maybe monitor.firefox.com is for you then. If you set it up you can "clear" old breaches and get automatically notified without actively checking. The dataset is from haveibeenpwned.com, so no difference there.
An alternative is Firefox Monitor. It uses the Have I been Pwned database (says so here). Might be a better option to give out to non technical people.
I'm actually fairly certain they are using the https://haveibeenpwned.com/ API which does exactly this (https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2#SearchingPwnedPasswordsByRange). I'm basing this deduction off the Firefox page lists a latest breach that matches the latest breach on the HIBP website (see https://monitor.firefox.com/).
Did you actually check with your bank to see if the money is taken? A lot of the times they only edit the webpage or send you a fake email to make it seem as if they took the money. If they actually took the money, then you should be worried. Also, visit https://monitor.firefox.com/ and enter your email, see if your account credentials are leaked in a database breach. In any case, create a strong, unique password for every account you own, and use a password manager to keep track of them. If possible, enable 2-factor authentication, and use a 2FA manager app (often on your phone) to receive confirmation codes when you log in to your accounts.
C'est fiable cybernews, et c'est régulièrement cité par les médias.
Si l'idée d'apposer ton email sur un service que tu ne connais pas te freine et ça peut se comprendre, tu peux toujours aller sur https://monitor.firefox.com/ qui est le service de Mozilla.
edit: rajouté le lien proprement, j'en ai profité pour finir ma phrase.
There's a but of a non-sequitur through this article: First, coronavirus labs offered, and I'm pretty sure 80% of Americans haven't been tested, then 5G, then -
>“Current estimates are that 80% of American adults have had all of their personally identifiable information stolen by the Communist Party of China,”
So, that's not biodata which the article starts as a premise, well, some might be, and this has been a thing for years. If you don't already know, Mozilla Foundation run https://monitor.firefox.com/ which lets you know what of many online accounts you have that may have been compromised by any number of bad actors around the world: Have a try, search for yourself or help a friend.
Check your email. If it was in breach you probably reused the same password that was leaked in the past.
One thing though - they most probably have access to your email cause they needed to input code for new location.
To expand on u/skatyboy replying in a sibling comment: This is a curated list of data breaches that someone well respected compiles in their free time.
You can both use it to check if there was a breach that included your email address OR you can even check if your password has been disclosed before. The website is built in a way that he doesn't even get your password when you enter it to check for breaches: He doesn't need to, doesn't want to know your data.
(skip if you don't care about details)
The way this works is that you query for a prefix of the hash of your password and then asks the website for all breaches with the same prefix as your email's hash. This means that the website only knows "Someone asked about breaches", but doesn't know what password you're concerned about: Your password isn't transmitted over the network.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-anonymity and https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-version-2
Firefox has a service called Monitor that allows you to be notified about breaches related to your email addresses - at least in my Firefox Nightly I have a "Protections Dashboard" I can open directly in the browser to manage the addresses that I care about.
Here are some tools and sites to help you figure out if one of your accounts have been leaked in databases that are making the rounds in the black hat community:
- https://breachalarm.com/
- https://monitor.firefox.com/ (works without Firefox the browser too, however Firefox can alert you as you visit the sites about possible breaches as well!)
- https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Cheers!
Mozilla need to take over this. They already have a free service to check your emails for breeches.
It would be a logical extension.
One thing I don't want to see happen is Google Facebook or Amazon getting their greedy hands on it to find a way to monetise people's misfortune and desire to find how vulnerable they are.
Firefox Monitor has some more guidance, as well as being able to mark them as handled and receive notifications on new beaches. It uses the same data source.
When breached, change passwords.
Du kannst unter https://monitor.firefox.com mal überprüfen, ob deine Email bei Datenleaks aufgetaucht ist. Beachte aber bitte, dass es nicht zu 100% zuverlässig ist, also ändere noch dein Ebay Passwort etc.
Currently I have received the mail in two different accounts.
To my displeasure, I have checked the email at https://monitor.firefox.com/breaches and my mail was showing up as leaked😨. I cannot say if it is a simple coincidence or if they have really accessed by brute force. Recommendation modify the similar or identical passwords of critical sites (bank, personal emails, etc.)
P.D .: I hope the "hacker" liked the conversations with my ex 😁
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.
^delete ^| ^information ^| ^<3
Weird. I'm not an expert but it sounds like you could've been hacked tbh, by a weird hacker no less. If you've changed all your passowrds and stuff and it doesn't look like anything else was done then I wouldn't be super worried. I'd find out if your friend clicked on the link or not, they maybe could've gotten hacked if they clicked on it, or if they clicked on the link and it led to something asking for info and a login they're probably safe if they didn't put anything in. Check your login activity for your account maybe? Though I dunno if any records of logins can be deleted by hackers like browser history. And check any of your other accounts with the same email/phone number and password used to login. Also you can check here to see if your stuff has ever been leaked in a breach. If it hasn't, you could've gotten it from a number of things, like if you've clicked on any weird links lately or signed in through Instagram on any third party apps or sites (for tracking insta followers, etc). Again, that's just my guess
Everyone should check firefox monitor to see where and when your email address and other info was leaked. Then get a password manager so that each login you have is different and thus when one gets hacked in the future they all don't get hacked. Too many people use the same password for all their accounts with attached to a particular email address. That's how this usually happens
NB: Mozilla offer a free service where you can be notified if your account details show up in a publicly-released breach.
It's powered by Have I Been Pwned?, run by a security researcher endorsed by Microsoft.
TL;DR: it's free and legit; sign up.
Sounds like you registered for their breach notification service at some point:
It uses your email to detect of you are among addressed compromised in a hack/leak.
It's tied to your Firefox account.
Beyond the obvious recommendation to use a password manager like Bitwarden, I can also recommend signing up for https://monitor.firefox.com. They will alert you to new breaches discovered through the HIBP API. Can be configured for multiple email addresses.
This is sweet.
I also use Firefox Monitor (which uses the Have I Been Pwned data), but it's limited to 15 email addresses... and I've gone through far more than that.
To je boiler room scam, neka web stranica na kojoj si se registrirao i napravio 2factor authentification je ili prodala tvoj broj nekim shady firmama ili je hakirana. https://monitor.firefox.com/ odi na ovu stranicu i pogledaj dal su ti mailovi hakirani u nekim od breacheva. Ako je onda jbg il promjeni broj mobitela ili ako imas iphone ukljuci opciju da te nemogu zvati brojevi koje nemas u kontaktima, ili ako imas android neki od call blockera.
Yes and no. With your email, they now know 50% of what they need to log into most websites with your info. That other 50% will be easier or harder depending on your password and if you have things like multifactor authentication enabled. They can do a credential stuffing attack where they parse through breached databases for your email and find passwords you've used before. I assume your email is in some leaked database since you've had it for years, but you can check on a site like https://monitor.firefox.com/ . Let's say that's not the case and they just have your email, they can still do a dictionary attack or maybe even a more sophisticated attack if you're really worth it.
The bottom line is you need to change all passwords that the email is attached to. Run your email through that site I linked to check for sites where your email has been potentially exposed before and change those first. Once those are changed, you need to change the rest of your accounts that are tied to that address. An easy way to find a lot of the important ones is by searching your inbox for "Account Verification" or something similar and changing those. Definitely use a password manager to create and store complex passwords to make dictionary attacks next to impossible.
TLDR: Change passwords on everything that email address is used for.
in terms of watchtower, you can use this Mozilla site for free which uses the same database - https://monitor.firefox.com
Watchtower has a limitation that severely impacts my use of it in that they will only scan the email account associated with your 1Password account. If you use multiple email addresses across sites, then any that don't match your 1Password login will not be scanned by Watchtower. The Mozilla service allows you to register and monitor multiple addresses, and its the same data source Watchtower uses.
If you only have 1 email address for all your accounts then Watchtower will be great.
É golpe, relaxa que nada vai acontecer. Se reparar no que falam, dizem que te filmaram vendo alguma coisa mas nunca especificam a coisa. Se soubessem mesmo, acha que não falariam pra serem mais convincentes? Quer dizer que não sabem de nada. Já recebi um desse com uma senha antiga minha no e-mail, eles pegam esses dados de vazamentos e saem atirando pra todo lado pra ver quem tem medo e paga eles.
Você pode acessar esse site, se colocar seu e-mail lá (é confiável, pessoal do firefox que mantém), dá pra ver se algum vazamento de dados tem seus dados lá... se sim, provavelmente os caras pegaram essa lista de dados vazados e saíram mandando esse email que vc recebeu pra todo mundo. Não precisa se preocupar com limpar histórico ou trocar e-mail.
Something to keep in mind with the breach notices is 1Password only monitors the email address you use for your 1Password accounts login. If you use multiple email accounts across services, the email addresses that do not match your 1Password login are not monitored. Unfortunately for me this is most of my accounts.
As a fallback I use https://monitor.firefox.com which is free and is checking the same database 1Password uses (HaveIBeenPwnd). You can add multiple email accounts via the Mozilla service.
You can check your emails on ';--have i been pwned?
Firefox has it built in with Monitor
Firefox Relay creates alias emails you can use to sign up on sites.
There's a new addon they are rolling out Firefox Private Network that helps protect you when you are connected to public wifi.
This doesnt work by hacking your disney+ account, but by using other services' databreaches, such as adobe and zynga, and bruteforcing all the emails and password until some of them match. It is common practice.
If you don't want this to happen to you, use a different username and obviously password for every service you sign up for. Use 2 Factor Authentification whenever possible.
And you can check whether you appear in a databreach on https://monitor.firefox.com or on havibeenpwned.
If you didn't know, your email service has the ability to create 'alias' address (in other words, different addresses that all come to the same inbox). I'd recommend creating one of those, and using it when/if you sign up for accounts in the future (if your email has already been leaked, then no point in changing your address for the already existing ones).
This works, as if the address gets leaked, you can simply disable/delete the alias, and create a new one in its' place, which means any spam sent to the (now defunct) alias will get returned with an error.
Also I'd recommend this service for any emails addresses you have. It's owned by Mozilla, so it's pretty safe, and if you sign up for it, you will receive a notification whenever a breach occurs with your address in it (and some other stuff, but not much). Or you can just use it to scan and see if any addresses were in a recent breach (or you can just use haveibeenpwned.com, which is what FF Monitor uses as its' backend/database)
Do you live near Ku'damm? Could also be a scammer, trying to extract information out of you. The foodora/Delivery Hero hack from 2020 resulted in me getting 20x more spam, and lots of robo-calls. Be very suspicious if it's an international number. I always let calls ring out, then search them online. If it's important, they leave a voicemail, or their number is easy to find online.
Ich hijacke deinen Hinweis mal, vielleicht kennst Du oder sonst jemand hier ja damit besser aus: Ich habe eine meiner E-Mailadressen dort geprüft und die Seite breichtet, dass ich beim "Lead Hunter"-Breach gepwnd wurde. War mir neu :) Gleichzeitig zeigt der (Test von Mozilla)[https://monitor.firefox.com/?breach=LeadHunter] explizit zu diesem Breach, das diese Mailadresse nicht betroffen war. Wer hat denn nun Recht?
Perhaps an old password or credential was leaked in an as yet unknown breach.
Perhaps someone who knows your email just trying random bullshit to try and get into any of your accounts?
Difficult to tell really, but I would also check Firefox Monitor in case they have any information that haveibeenpwned doesn't.
https://monitor.firefox.com/user/dashboard
If I scroll the page to the bottom, there's a Want to add another email?, and a field, followed by the purple footer.
Maybe make sure that you're not using some add-on that block that content?
UPDATE: screenshot
Where are you searching it? You should see a form at the end of the page when you visit (can't tell you the exact wording, since mine is in Italian) https://monitor.firefox.com
Hmm, how is this thing still owned by one person anyway? Wouldn't such a service be in better hands with Mozilla or the EFF or something?
Mozilla does have Firefox Monitor for example, but it seems to just be taking the data from hibp.
Firefox Monitor is an example of this. You type your email and they check against their own records whether it matches an email from compromised accounts and gives you steps to take to follow up.
It's likely a coincident, it's not possible to get someone's credentials just by messaging them, it's much more likely that you were using the same or similar password for another account which was compromised in a data breach, this happens a lot. You can check if you were involved in data breaches using Firefox Monitor
> For one, it requires someone to choose to use the service in the first place.
This is not how I understood it. There is a site, https://monitor.firefox.com , that does it and that one must choose to use. But the source says that Firefox does it, which I understood as the Firefox Monitor service being now integrated in the password manager of the browser. In the preferences, about:preferences#privacy , there is a checkbox to show alerts in case of breached passwords, I suppose that this is to control this feature. And this box is checked by default, it's not opt in, so I do not see this as a real choice to use it.
> Secondly, it uses k-anonymity to do so, which is proven to be privacy friendly.
It's more privacy friendly than sending a full password hash, which would be a complete heresy. But k-anonymity still gives the service some probabilistic data about passwords and their owners. In the example your source gives, when sending 5 characters of a password hash, there is a chance that the user password is one of the 475 breached ones that the service knows because it hashed them itself. Firefox monitor sends 6 characters, this reduces further the list of possible passwords. Sure, it's already leaked passwords, but it associates those with the person using the service. And in the more common case where the password is not in the breached list of the service, it can in principle create a central database of the truncated hashes of all the passwords of all Firefox users, together with connection data to the service like the IP address (not sure if Mozilla proxies this or not, then the problem would be shifted to them instead of HIBP). If someone with access to this database wants to know who is the owner of a given password they got through another source, it makes the list of possible targets smaller.
>Is there a way to find out what other logins are at risk
No. But for 99% of those, it doesn't even matter of they get hacked.
Anyway, you can do searches on your inbox. Words to use are "activate" or "sign up" for the activation emails. Then you should be able to see what is more or less a list of accounts you used that email account for.
Just change that passwords for the stuff you remember, sign up for firefox monitor and enable two factor where possible.
I also use a password manager. It's fine if you want to take a different approach as long as your passwords aren't all the same.
Have I Been PWNED (https://haveibeenpwned.com) is a great website to check if any of your accounts have been compromised. All you need to do is enter your email and it checks a database of major data breaches. Additionally, Firefox Monitor (https://monitor.firefox.com) does the same thing. Any award is fine :)
Sounds awefull
1/ Take a check if your accounts have been breached Eg https://monitor.firefox.com/
2/ change your phone number
3/ format your pc (clear malware, Trojans etc)
4/ format your phone
Check https://monitor.firefox.com/
Your steam id is linked to at least an email address and a phone number (if you play ranked). If any of these have been breached, that could have been how he ha info on you.
Glad to help!
If you already signed in with Monitor, there should be a page available for you here: https://monitor.firefox.com/protect-my-email
Otherwise, someone posted a screenshot recently, you can read it here: https://i.imgur.com/952Qrrf.png
You will be able to create email aliases, yes, but I did not yet get any details from Mozilla.
Confirmed by mozilla, got the info since my info leaked with it: https://monitor.firefox.com/breach-details/Aptoide
It was a non issue since I have different passwords for everything, but if you don't and use Aptoid this is a nice hour to start changing all your passwords.
Well you can check to see if your email address has been involved in any known data breaches/ leaks by going to
https://monitor.firefox.com/ Or https://haveibeenpwned.com/
There is always more to know. If you haven’t already, enable two factor authentication on as many accounts as you can. Whenever you sign in you will have a code sent to your mobile to check your authenticity. If you ever get one unsolicited, you know somebody is trying to access your account. Most web services also have options in the security settings to check all devices that currently have access to your account. If you see any devices on this list that you don’t recognise, you can remotely sign them out. If they try to regain access you will get alerted by the two factor authentication on your phone.
In regards to password managers, I won’t try to explain their benefits myself when there are people far more qualified to do so. This video is a great explanation of their benefits and the inner workings.
Hope that helped :)
Can not second this enough, you can get so much wiped out so quickly. USE a password manager with a STRONG password you use nowhere else, and lock it down with 2FA using an Authentication app, NOT SMS. Dashlane, LastPass, whatever just DO it. Go through the motions of changing ALL your passwords on every site, having your manager randomly generate and manage them.
Check your emails against sites like https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and https://monitor.firefox.com/
Refer to XKCD's comic on password entropy: https://xkcd.com/936/
Mozilla seems to be working on an email masking service which would allow you to make aliases and all emails sent to that alias will be redirected to your real email address.
Visit this link while you're logged in with your FF account: https://monitor.firefox.com/protect-my-email
One of the best things you can do at this point is sign up for an identity theft protection service. The good ones will include insurance which pays any bills that we're incurred due to fraud. They also track your SSN and other personal details and alert you to any new financial accounts created in your name. Equifax has such a service, others like Lifelock are good too. Discover and other credit card companies also offer these services.
Also sign up for Firefox monitor, they will track your email addresses against darkweb databases and privacy leaks monitor.firefox.com
Acontece pelo menos 1x por semana de alguma conta minha ser bloqueada por que alguém tentou logar nela e errou a senha ou pq tentou usar uma senha antiga.
Se você colocar seu e-mail em https://monitor.firefox.com/ vai poder ver quais serviços já vazaram alguma senha tua.
If anyone is worried about their information being part of a data breach then you can enter your email address in MONITOR from mozilla, the developer of the firefox browser. It will find any instances if the email address if it's been leaked online.
Data breaches happen all the time. Your username and password was most likely leaked. I suggest using two factor authentication like https://authy.com and password manager like https://www.lastpass.com. You can also use this site to see if your email was in any breaches. https://monitor.firefox.com/
Most websites don’t implement such systems so if potential victims reuse the same passwords hackers will target less secure websites. Fortunately the network slows down the process, unfortunately hackers can download data dump with email and encrypted password and bypass the network bottleneck entirely.
To check with your password was leaked: https://monitor.firefox.com/ Wikipedia page about password cracking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking
Firefox can do this for you automatically via https://monitor.firefox.com/
I'm not sure how extensive their database is, or which other databases they draw from, but I get a warning every few days, so it's good enough for me.
There were at least two data breaches that could lead to this. Check your emails address here:
You will probably find it corresponding to the PDL breach, since it was the largest. All they did was crawl for details on social media (including Reddit).
Aside from that, services like LastPass have had their problems as well.
I’d change my password, on Reddit and any account that would know my credentials, like LastPass or similar, Google account, Apple ID, Microsoft ID, and enable 2fa wherever possible. A simple browser hijacker would compromise every credential saved in that browser (or in the keychain if we’re talking about Apple).
Also check the recovery address and phone numbers associated, sometimes those get changed first locking you out or preventing you to reset the password.
Start changing passwords on all your services, don't repeat passwords, enable two factor authentication on every site/game/service that offers it.
FireFox has a free service you can sign up for, you can enter any e-mail addresses you use for other accounts there and it will tell you if that address was part of any data breaches and what information was leaked.
> están filtrando listas de correos de algún leak grande internaciona
Por lo menos en el de los pacos agarré 4 correos al azar y los pasé por https://monitor.firefox.com y el mas nuevo me decia que venia de un leak del 22 de noviembre de 2019. Igual un mes atras no es tanto, pero me imagino que a estas alturas por lo el menos sysadmin le reseteo la clave institucional forzosamente.
Si alguien cacha como hacer un cruce masivo que cuente, yo no tengo idea.
Firefox Monitor doesn't list it as a breach that would have caused your data to be stolen. HaveIBeenPwned does not list it either even though I have an account with them. You should be fine. Really, all VPNs work pretty much the same way. If you're in the United States, they are functionally equivalent. The only difference would be speed, and from what I tested any good VPN will have a reasonable speed. In other words, it doesn't matter. Nord is a bit more expensive, but I bought it anyway because it has the added benefit that it's one of the few VPNs that the Government of China has not managed to block from bypassing their Internet censorship firewall.
You could use that https://monitor.firefox.com/ and check if your email adress was ever stolen from somewhere and if passwords etc were taken too. Maybe your email adress is way more compromised as you might thought.
I'd change passwords for any accounts with the same password as the one used for this account, enable 2FA as well. Your password could have been leaked in a data breach which you can check using https://monitor.firefox.com
Depends on what you're looking for - if you want a web / hosted based password manager where you're accounts are syncable between devices that I'd look at Bitwarden. You can host it yourself so you don't have to trust someone else's infrastructure (and security practices or lack thereof). If you want to keep the passwords completely offline and loose the sync functionality (or sync it yourself with something like Seafile) I'd recommend something like KeePassX.
To be honest it doesn't sound to me like you want a password manager - sounds like you're looking for a service that will check your accounts, and see if anything else has been compromised yeah?
For that I'd recommend something like
Put your email in there, and it will let you know about all data breaches that resulted in that email being published.
Hope This Helps!
ANS
Google's Password Check Up Extension for Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox Monitor now integrate this service in their products, very useful these days.
You're welcome. Also check https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and sign up for https://monitor.firefox.com/ to keep an eye on things going forward. Very glad the hacker did not screw up your ebay account! Good luck and stay safe :)
Thankfully normal everyday people don’t have such a huge target on their back, otherwise we would be seeing many many more account compromises. That amount of people that use the absolute minimum password required is staggering, plus people reuse passwords which is a big no-no.
Anyone want to check breaches: https://monitor.firefox.com https://haveibeenpwned.com you’ll see you email light up a great many breaches. Passwords you used for those accounts, make sure you don’t use them anywhere else.
Leggo da QUESTA pagina di Firefox:
<< A good password manager (...) Does not store any of your data on their servers >>
Ok, ma il punto è che è ovvio che questi dati siano hostati da qualche parte. Se non nei loro server, comunque su un'istanza del software hostato sul mio pc o su un mio server, il che non lo rende piu sicuro anzi.
Volevo provare BitWarden, ma a 'sta cosa terrorista mi sta facendo passare la voglia. Qualcuno mi delucida la cosa?
Hi there!
I'm sorry to hear that you've been a victim of a breach. Looking at the latest post from the company, there doesn't appear to be evidence to suggest that financial details (such as card/bank details) have been compromised, but the company appears to be offering fraud/identity theft protection as a precaution. You can read the details here.
Interestingly, when I looked at the site, my web browser prompted me that there had been a breach of the site and invited me to check if my details were leaked via their own check service, which can be found here. I don't have an account with this company, so I'm not sure if you will find anything new, or whether it uses a service that isn't haveibeenpwned?.
Unfortunately, I'm not particularly well versed in working with incidents like these, so I can't really offer any advice other than that which has already been given to you. I hope that maybe someone reading this can weigh in (if they haven't already).
Once again, I'm really sorry to hear that this has happened to you and I hope that it doesn't cause you any issues.
​
You can check if your email has been in a recent data leak, also, you can sign up to this firefox service with a firefox account, and they will email as soon as your email is detected in a new breach. Very useful.
Mozilla offers breach detection.
33mail works with Protonmail. And protonmail works with Thunderbird if you pay for protonmail plus. You have to download the bridge to use a desktop client like Thunderbird.
If you sign up for that service, they’ll check if your information has been compromised at any point. You can also use Firefox Monitor as a free alternative, albeit a less in-depth one. Dashlane, a password manager, also provides this service as long as you get the premium tier (which is free for one year for students with a .edu email).
I think those are warnings from Firefox Monitor, indicating that some entries in the feed that it uses to warn you about threats are broken in some way. The feed comes from Have I Been Pwned, who publishes a list of sites known to have been compromised. Your browser uses that list and your history to alert you if you might be at risk.
>#####Veja se você foi envolvido em um vazamento de dados:

They advertise 1password, but Have I Been Pwned is legitimate and not a scam. They are also the basis of Firefox Monitor, which does the same thing but is meant to be integrated into the browser and accessible for non-technical users.
I can answer that. It's ironical that I realized the insecurity of Firefox's password storing technique after Firefox sent me a link to this: https://monitor.firefox.com/, a portal from Firefox themselves, where one can check if their Email ID was hacked in recent times on popular sites. I came to know my email account was hacked by atleast 10 of the services I used in the past, like Daniweb, Last.fm, Trillian etc.
So if Firefox is so concerned with their user's privacy, I was expecting a better security mechanism to store their user's passwords.
Edit: Also I am in a 3rd world country. Every country has the right of privacy, no matter first or last.
You can use other services from Mozilla like Firefox Send and Monitor with Brave or any other browser. However, they’re ultimately designed to draw you to Firefox.
That being said, there is nothing really unique with any of these features. You’ll find extension that you can use with Brave that provides all of these features.
Firefox Monitor is a somewhat new service Mozilla has released that acts as a front-end to Have I Been Pwned that allows users to see if their email address has been exposed from a breach of an online account.
