If you are unsure if your email was part of the Evite data breach, you can check with Firefox Monitor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Note that if you\u2019re new to Firefox Monitor, you may find out that your email has been caught in other breaches. That can feel scary, but here are some things you can do right away if that\u2019s the case:<\/p>\n

Change your password to a strong, unique password<\/h2>\n

A strong password uses a combination of upper and lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers. It doesn\u2019t contain personal info like your address, birthday or family names.<\/p>\n

Stop using that exposed password entirely<\/h2>\n

Cyber criminals could find your password on the dark web and use it to log in to your other accounts. The best way to protect your accounts is to use unique passwords for each one.<\/p>\n

Get help creating better passwords and keeping them safe<\/h2>\n

Use a password manager to create strong, unique passwords. Password managers securely store all your logins so you can access them across all your devices.<\/p>\n

Incidents like the Evite data breach are only going to continue, and it\u2019s up to each of us to be vigilant about our online security. Sign up for breach monitoring with Firefox Monitor<\/a> so that if your information surfaces in a new data breach, we\u2019ll send you an alert.<\/p>\n
