@ 2024/03/26Onerep's CEO admitted creating multiple people-search networks
Big cheeses at the Mozzarella Foundation have announced it is phasing out its recent partnership with Onerep. This identity protection service was newly integrated into Firefox to help users remove their details from numerous people-search websites.
This decision follows shortly after a KrebsOnSecurity report prompted Onerep's CEO to acknowledge his history of establishing multiple people-search networks.
Mozilla only started including Onerep in Firefox last month, announcing that the reputation service would be available on a subscription basis as part of Mozilla Monitor-Plus. Initiated in 2018 as Firefox Monitor, Mozilla Monitor also utilises data from the website Have I Been Pwned? to alert users when their email addresses or passwords have been compromised in data breaches.
