I’ve just had an email from Mozilla saying that my email was involved in a data breach. However the problem was not identified directly by Mozilla but by a third party and the compromise was on Twitter (which is odd as email is not used directly on that platform anyway). I checked that the email did come from Mozilla and only then clicked on the link which was supposed to tell me what the problem was and all I got was 502 Bad Gateway.

Hi

I will not be able to confirm this for your email account, but yes, there has been a widely reported data breach involving Twitter that Firefox Monitor has been reporting.

But Cor-el - what is this? I do not understand as you/Mozilla Support have not provided any kind of answer to my question?

Dear Cor-el I’m aware that I could just delete the emails. However, the point is that these bogus emails are pretending to be from Mozilla so I’d like to see some specific advice from you and the option to forward the emails to Mozilla so that they can deal with these clowns who are impersonating their company.

How do you figure they are pretending to be from Mozilla?

The email you got was likely about the compromised emails due to breaches at Twitter https://monitor.firefox.com/breach-details/Twitter200M https://monitor.firefox.com/breaches (where there are website breaches for DoorDash, SlideTeam also)
