The latest major scandal affected vp risk email list just a few days ago, where more than 50 million user accounts on the social network were hacked by exploiting a security hole.

Firefox Monitor will help you determine if your login credentials have been compromised if you are or have been a member of one of these affected platforms.
How does Firefox Monitor work?
It's really simple, thanks to Firefox's alliance with the website "Have I Been Pwned" it has been possible to develop this practical tool where by simply including our email address we can know in a matter of seconds, and for free, if the access data to these applications and some data they store on us have been compromised.
Firefox Monitor
You just have to enter your email, press the scan button and cross your fingers .
The purpose of this tool is to protect us from the growing number of threats that occur in the digital space. This tool cannot prevent a large-scale attack, but it can alert us in case of problems and, above all, make us aware of where and what data we give when we register on any website or app.
Firefox Monitor
If you have been the victim of an attack, Firefox Monitor will not be able to reverse the problem but will give you some advice to prevent this from happening to you in the future: strengthening your password, not using the same one for everything or opting for two-step verification are some of the arguments offered to protect our identity on the Internet.
Firefox Monitor also offers an alert system , also free, to which you can subscribe to be informed of any security breach that may have affected and compromised your data.
