Protecting Your Postal Email

• Be cautious of suspicious email senders, contents, or attachments. Someone might be trying to gain access to the information stored in your email account or on your desktop.
• Take precautions:
  • Assess the sender — make sure you recognize the sender’s name or email address.
  • Check for errors — mistakes in grammar or spelling should heighten your suspicion.
  • Question attachments — consider what you’re opening (.pdf, .jpg, .doc, .xls, .exe) and make sure it’s from a reliable source.

Protecting your email activity is one way to secure the information stored on your USPS device and help prevent data breaches that harm the reputation of our organization.

And that’s smart business.
