If you are afraid that your personal information might be lurking on the internet, then the Mozilla Monitor Plus is here for you. This new service that is rolling out to users of the Mozilla browser will help clear your personal information that is available on the internet. It does this by monitoring data brokers that sell personal information on the internet, to pick out yours and eradicate it.
Now, this type of service sounds appealing considering the amount of data leaks that are hitting the internet. It’ll also help protect users from scammers who might access their personal information via these data brokers once they leak on the internet. But this form of service won’t come cheap, as Mozilla is asking users to pay $9 monthly to access it or $107.88 per year.
Well, Mozilla isn’t the only one that offers this type of service to users around the world. But the Mozilla Monitor Plus takes a different approach to this business model, one that will ensure that their customers are more safe as they use the internet. Mozilla says that they are monitoring over 190 data broker sites to keep users’ data off such sites.
According to them, this is more than double the number of data broker sites that the competitions cover. By covering more sites, Mozilla hopes to win over more customers and ensure that existing ones as well as new ones get the best level of protection online. You can also get a free one-time scan to show you if your data has been leaked online.
This scan will help potential users of this service to understand the gravity of this issue. Aside from this, some other tools are at the disposal of those who sign up to make use of this service. For now, only users in the US can access this service.
