I was talking to a coworker about these new phishing attacks that send your name and address and sometimes a picture of your house, and I was saying how creepy it is, and they told me that phonebooks were delivered to everyone and used to have like literally everyone in a city listed by last name with their phone number and address. Is that for real?

    Oh dang, sorry you deleted this. Those last two lines were very true. I’m going to quote them, but if you want me to delete it just LMK:

    At this point, the only people who don’t know where we live are the ones who might drop off a casserole. We’ve gained nothing.

      Oh! Apologies, I just saw that someone else said something relevant and decided to post my comment as a reply to them instead of a top level comment. Sorry for the confusion!
