An Ominous forewarning

 As previously blogged:

I use the USPS Informed Delivery.  Today I saw this letter in the email from the USPS:

Chaney Electronics (AKA Electronic Goldmine) is sending me some 1st class mail ?

  A little more searching found this:

Yikes, yet another data breach and credit monitoring ?  This is another reason why I stopped accepting Paypal for kit purchases.  I don't need this kind of trouble with the kit selling.

I wonder how this will affect Chaney Electronics (Electronic Goldmine) ?  They sell surplus components, assemblies and products.  Their specialty seems to be Geiger counters.

I don't order from them all that much but unfortunately I did place an order during that time frame they were hacked.  Haven't seen any funny business so far although I did get a different card replaced in 2022 due to a phony charge, who knows ?  But I should probably stop using Informed Delivery.  That way I'll have a morning of bliss-full ignorance before these letters arrive.
