Onerep is a privacy monitoring service/ privacy provider that Mozilla partnered with for their Mozilla Monitor service.

Yesterday, Brian Krebs (a cybersecurity journalist) dug into Onerep and found that the CEO is a shady Belarussian. Dimitri Shelest, CEO, of Onerep owns multiple “people searching” websites. Shelest has also been linked to aggressive spam and affiliate marketing emails.

Onerep’s reputation is shady due to their CEO’s multiple conflicts of interest. At worst, Onerep is sucking your personal information. At best, you’re paying for a service that doesn’t do anything. Either way, I would not trust Mozilla Monitor service .

    I did some digging into FakeSpot’s history. I don’t have the pages handy, but they didn’t call themselves an AI company until 2022. I doubt anything changed. And at one point, they were even dabbling with NFT verification (something they’ve since purged from their site).

    Mozilla is chasing trends by… Buying other companies that are also chasing trends.
