I received an email from this email add

breach-alerts@mozilla.com

Is this genuine or a phishing attempt? I get lots of phishing attempts. I don't use Firefox much so am not certain.

It suggests clicking on a link to go to dashboard which I haven't done. It's not clear and many scams use similar font and email adds to real accounts/email adds

Thanks

It is from Firefox/Mozilla. See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-monitor-faq#w_how-do-i-know-these-emails-are-really-from-firefox-and-not-from-a-hacker
