🇺🇸 US 'nauts - Sign up for the USPS informed delivery before crooks do it for you.
ID thieves are signing up for this service on your behalf to sign up for credit cards in your name and then using it to find out when to grab the new card out of your mailbox.
@0x56 Signed up for it as soon as it was available, just because of the security implications...
That, and it's kind of nice to know what's in the mailbox and whether it is worth walking out to it.
@0x56 The other aspect that people aren't groking with this, is that this normalizes the fact that the USPS has been taking photos of the front of envelopes and packages since 2001.
While the government isn't allowed to open your mail without a warrant, they sure as hell can track the metadata it provides, by simply filling out a form...

Thx for the heads up
