2 April 2012 Postal Digital Spying Cryptome welcomes information on, examples of, postal digital spying: cryptome[at]earthlink.net Before email, social media, hacking, anonymizers and back-doored encryption took their place, postal services (most of them also ran telecommunications) were the prime means of official and commercial spying. The freedom-promising Internet's ease and ubiquity of digital spying worldwide for a while made paper mail more secure, used even by officials and the military who knew digital communications favored its operators over users. That short-lived, somewhat safe postal means of comms -- along with courier and delivery services -- now looks to be again doing do-gooders' triple-crossing evil. In our NYC 72-unit condo, an in-house digital tracking, security video and notification system records the last-few-feet spying node supplementing an all-building cable-tv-phone-internet rig with handy tap-panel in the basement and a perp-IDing in-home converter box surveilling and archiving futile surfing for escape.

I just started digging into that topic, what I already know is: Address scanning/reading in, applying 2-D Codes and timestamps at every stage of transportation. When post office cars or private delivery services stop in front of my house here in .AT my signature is performed on an electronic pad. At first sight I'd say massive datasets generated by snail mail and packet sorting and processing systems are generously inviting companies to spy on each other and combat competitors abroad. Analysis of delivery cycles, timely detection of hostile marketing campaigns, tracking and blocking delivery of goods under patent/copyright claims or whatever the clone offsprings of ancient DMCA ACTA/TPP/SOPA/PIPA require. What a nice topic to dig - ahem - to dive into, methinks. Not forgetting my nose clamp I remain humbly yours Erich M.
