I am happy to report that next month I will celebrate my one year anniversary working at Yarnell Security! It’s a job I enjoy much more than I deserve! We sell security systems, fire monitoring systems, camera systems and door access systems. I am learning a lot, and making lots of new friends.
When you move, it’s easy to log in to USPS and put in your forwarding address. All you need is to verify your identity with a direct card. This seems so easy for a bad guy to do, and get your mail delivered to a new address.
It’s even possible for a business…
If a thief chose the right week, and was able to set everything up and then get all your mail, they might have time to get away and cover their tracks before you even notice.
I like this convenience and have used it three times during the past year, for both business and personal use.
But it sure seems like a risky thing for the USPS to allow us to do.
The United States Postal Service has some convenience features which may or may not be secure. I have my doubts.
The first feature is Informed Delivery. You can sign up for free, and then every day you receive an email that has scans of the envelopes you will receive that day. It’s a nice feature when you are eagerly awaiting a certain letter, like an automobile registration or a license.
However, it is relatively easy to sign up and have your identity verified. It occurred to me that someone could impersonate you, and sign up. The could watch the daily emails, and if you have a rural free delivery mailbox, they could swoop in and steal anything that appeared interesting.
I believe the identity verification required a credit card, but the bad guys would find that relatively simple to circumvent.
On top of everything else, the USPS in monetizing this. Informed delivery has crazy high open rates for that email, and gives a traditional mail marketer a lot more information about you, and new tools to get you interested in their products. Read about it here.
Whatever, my recommendation is you sign up for informed delivery before someone does it for you.
