I received an email from Firefox Monitor that my email addresses and passwords were compromised on April 15, 2022. The company which had the breach was Avvo , a lawyer rating tech company who suffer from breaches often. I don't recall ever accessing Avvo and if I did it would have been years ago. Has anyone received a similar email? Would Firefox Monitor contact me like this? I don't recall signing up for Firefox Monitor, is this an automatic extention of Firefox? I would appreciate someone who has any enlightening information to share it , so I can determine the best way forward.
