Mozilla is working on a new Firefox feature which will warn users about websites which have been hacked.<\/p>\n
Mozilla has partnered with security expert Troy Hunt to search multiple data breaches to see if email addresses have been compromised.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs many people have now worked out, yes, we’re doing some awesome things with Mozilla and Haveibeenpwned,\u201d Hunt said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
An extension has been released on GitHub<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0which is a forerunner to the feature in Firefox. It notifies users when their credentials have possibly been leaked or stolen in a data breach.<\/p>\n Hunt told Engadget<\/strong><\/a> that Firefox is currently only looking at which sites have been breached.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’re discussing other ways of using the data in the future. They’ve got a broad reach and surfacing this info via Firefox is a great way to get more exposure around data breaches.”<\/p>\n Mozilla is working on a new Firefox feature to warn users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":197481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[981,41916,33196],"class_list":["post-239364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security","tag-firefox","tag-haveibeenpwned-com","tag-troy-hunt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239364"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239364"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":239604,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239364\/revisions\/239604"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0Firefox vs Chrome<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
