Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

They're reselling it for $13.99/monthly or $107.88/annually.

So it's cheaper if you buy it for just one month at a time, but more expensive for the annual subscription... And there are other alternatives besides.

And there are other alternatives besides.

If you have a Discover card they'll do the monitoring/removal for free.

Discover only removes it from ten sites.
