The U.S. Postal Service confirmed it took action to "remediate" the data sharing following a TechCrunch investigation.

i'd be more shocked if a government agency (outside the DOD) managed NOT to leak my data.
No need to qualify that statement.

That very breach is when I started keeping my credit reports frozen, which I highly recommend everyone look into doing.
I didn't know that was a thing. Thanks. I'll look in to that.
Many of the credit reporting agencies will try to sell you on a subscription service that includes a credit “lock” feature that’s pretty much the same thing, but all of them are required to offer a free way to freeze your report so don’t let them talk you into it. Unless you’re interested in the other features of the subscription, which can be useful.
