I received an email with the following heading - Firefox Monitor You have unresolved breaches You have unresolved breaches. Your email has been exposed. Fix

Does this look legitimate. Is it something I need to be concerned about. Is Firefox sending such emails?

Thank you, David [email address]

Hi David

I have removed your email address from your question for your privacy and security as this is an open forum.

Yes, the Firefox Monitor service does send those emails when an email address has been caught up in a data breach.

This support article should help:

Mozilla is sending them as Firefox is a web browser.

How is it not legitimate ? all it is is giving you information about a email address of yours being compromised in a breach of a website accounts. It is not asking for personal information or anything suspicious.

Mozilla cares about users privacy and security and is trying to help people be secure online.
