USPS Shared Customer Addresses with Meta, LinkedIn, and Snap, Resulting in Doxxing of Millions
Jul 18, 2024, 07:28 PM
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was found to have been sharing the postal addresses of its online customers with Meta, LinkedIn, and Snap, according to a TechCrunch investigation. The USPS stated that it was 'unaware' of the issue and has since stopped the practice. The data sharing, which reportedly resulted in the doxxing of millions of Americans, was conducted through hidden tracking pixels. The USPS has taken steps to address and remediate the situation, which has been described as a serious breach of customer privacy.
