A year ago, KrebsOnSecurity warned that “Informed Delivery,” a new offering from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) that lets residents view scanned images of all incoming mail, was likely to be abused by identity thieves and other fraudsters unless the USPS beefed up security around the program and made it easier for people to opt out. This week, the U.S. Secret Service issued an internal alert warning that many of its field offices have reported crooks are indeed using Informed Delivery to commit various identity theft and credit card fraud schemes.

CHEERS to United Parcel Service (UPS) delivery drivers Xavier Trombley and Corey Howe, who came to the aid of an 81-year-old New Russia resident who was experiencing medical issues.
When Trombley delivered a package to the elderly gentleman, he asked how he was feeling.
The customer told him he was feeling dizzy and was a diabetic. So Trombley called 911.
UPS is pleased that we have reached handshake agreements (Tentative Agreement, or “TA”) with Teamsters Locals 705 and 710. These are balanced agreements that meet the needs of both sides, and should be ratified. The parties have agreed to contract extensions, and we expect ratification by Local 705 and 710 members in January.
UPS is committed to deliver dependable service through the peak holiday season, and beyond. With a ratified agreement already in place for both the UPS Small Package and Freight National Master Agreements, UPS is poised for continued growth supported by greater flexibility to meet the needs of its customers.
A Georgia woman was killed in a crash this morning on I-65 north in Clark County, Indiana.

A UPS tractor trailer was behind the van and couldn’t stop in time. The truck rear ended the vehicle and pushed it into the guard rail.
