It is also planned to disable the ability to send files anonymously \u2014 registering an account through the Firefox Account service will become mandatory for uploading files.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, Firefox Send allowed users to upload a file to Mozilla's servers in anonymous mode with a limit of up to 1 GB and 2.5 GB when creating a registered account. On the browser side, the file was encrypted and sent to the server already in encrypted form. After uploading the file, the user was provided with a link that was generated on the client side and included an identifier and key for decryption. Using the provided link, the recipient could download the file and decrypt it on their side. The sender had the option to set the number of downloads after which the file would be deleted from Mozilla's storage, as well as the file's lifetime (from one hour to 7 days). <\/p>\n<p>Recently, Firefox Send has become popular among malicious actors as <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nembo81pr\/status\/1280429645922471937\">the channel<\/a><\/noindex> <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ItsReallyNick\/status\/1272591855096602628\">a means for the distribution of<\/a><\/noindex> malware, storing components used for various attacks, and <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/research\/2020\/06\/india-human-rights-defenders-targeted-by-a-coordinated-spyware-operation\/\">transmission<\/a><\/noindex> data intercepted as a result of malware operations or the compromise of user systems. The popularity of the service among malicious actors was aided by the support for data encryption and content protection via passwords in Firefox Send, as well as the ability for files to be automatically deleted after a certain number of downloads or after a specified lifetime, which complicated the investigation of malicious activities and allowed for the evasion of attack detection systems. Additionally, links to the domain send.firefox.com in emails were generally considered trustworthy and were not blocked by anti-spam filters.<\/p>\n<p><center><noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\"
