Stop and Think Before You Connect
Stop and think before you connect. Plugging personal electronic devices — such as smart phones, thumb drives or e-cigarettes — into a Postal Service computer’s USB port is against USPS policy.
These five tips can help protect you and USPS:
- Use a wall outlet at an approved location (such as break room).
- Consider a portable charger.
- Avoid public charging stations (airports for example).
- Plug only USPS-approved devices into postal equipment.
- Report unauthorized devices connected to USPS equipment.
Practicing smart cybersecurity is smart business.
