Mozilla’s paid data removal service, Monitor Plus, will be shut down on December 17. The service offered automatic scanning and removal of personal data that ends up on data broker sites.
Mozilla Monitor Plus will shut down on December 17 . This means the data broker scan and automated removal service will no longer be available. Mozilla Monitor’s free monitoring service will continue to provide real-time alerts and step-by-step guides to mitigate the risks of a data breach. We’ve also added the ability for all users to monitor up to 20 email addresses . We know this change may cause concern, and we’re committed to keeping you informed and ensuring your data remains secure.
It better be worth it elsewhere with what Mozilla does.
It is wild that less then 20 months ago they were saying how
More than 10 million people have signed up with Mozilla Monitor so they can be notified when their personal data has been involved in a data breach.
and now, apparently, its not worth the resources…
I am guessing most of those 10 million never signed up for Monitor Plus which is probably the issue.
Or perhaps it got too expensive for them. Who knows with Mozilla. Hope wherever they focus is worth it.
The whole OneRep debacle surely didn’t help either…
One of several reasons why Mozilla is really confusing to understand. They do some things well but some things terribly. That’s why I said who knows with Mozilla. I’ve stopped deciphering their business moves. It’s exhausting.
I guess it’s time for Mozilla’s version of killedbygoogle.com
TIL. Didn’t know this existed. Thanks for sharing!
Apparently not being able to replace OneRep was a bigger factor then I realized.
