Typically when a large data breach occurs, those possibly affected by it often have to jump through hoops to find out if their information was compromised.
A new initiative from popular web browser Firefox will bring information about data breaches straight to the user.
Firefox Monitor will be collaborating with the Have I Been Pwned database service, which is a collection of 3.1 billion compromised email addresses.
At this stage, Firefox is testing initial designs of the Firefox Monitor tool in order to refine it. Beginning next week (July 2018), they expect to invite approximately 250,000 users (mainly in the US) to try out the feature. Once Firefox is satisfied with user testing, they will work on making the service available to all Firefox users.
