Firefox will warn you if you visit a website that has been hacked

Mozilla released Firefox Quantum within Firefox 57 a week ago. A twice as fast engine that comes accompanied by a new design and new functions. But they are already working on more functions. One of which is designed to protect users. The browser will alert you if you visit a website that has been hacked.

Firefox will warn you if you visit a website that has been hacked

This feature comes under the name of Breach Alert. It will take care of notifying the user when entering a website if this website has suffered a hack in the past. In order to do this, Firefox has reached an agreement with Have I Been Pwned?. The page that tells us if our account has been hacked. So we will have reliable and updated information.

See if a website has been hacked will be possible with Firefox

This system is currently under development so little data is known about it. How this will work or how long it will report these issues has not been disclosed. In addition, websites that have been hacked can see how their image is damaged. Something that may pose a problem for this function.

Although it seems that the idea is to focus on the most recent hacks that a website has suffered. Mainly so that the user does not enter while it is still dangerous. Or that you do not share or enter your data for a time.

It is good to see that Firefox continues to put user safety first. So it will be necessary to see how this new function is developed that seeks to notify users. Although, it seems that to know if a website has been hacked, you have to provide the email to Firefox. So they will have to know how to protect this data too.
