Last year Troy Hunter, owner of Have I Been Pwned, announced that he was working with Mozilla to create a tool that would allow knowing if a site was hacked, which they did a couple of months ago through the launch of Firefox Monitor.

Now Mozilla has just announced  Firefox Monitor Notifications, to alert users when they visit a site if it was hacked.

These notifications will work when they use the Firefox Quantum browser on desktop computers.

When the user enters a site that has been hacked, the user will receive a notification. The notification will include a link to visit Firefox Monitor so you can verify if your email address is among the information compromised.

The alert will appear at most once per site and only for the data violations reported in the last year (12 months prior to the visit).

In addition Firefox Monitor has also just added new languages, which in addition to English are: Simplified Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English (Canadian), French, Frisian, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish (Argentina, Mexico, and Spain), Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Welsh.
