Risk level: medium. Can you change it: yes. Found in 1 breaches in this directory.
The notes you add for couriers and drivers, such as where to leave parcels, gate or building entry codes, which door to use and when nobody is home.
Delivery notes are written for a driver, not the public, so people include access codes, hiding spots and routine details without a second thought. On their own they may not name the address. Where a note includes an entry code or a key location, it is effectively a physical security credential.
With your address, the note tells a thief how to get through the gate, where parcels sit unattended and sometimes when the house is empty. Notes that mention a dog, a disability or someone living alone also reveal who in the household is vulnerable. A fake courier message quoting your real instructions is very convincing too.
It depends on what you wrote. Where to leave a parcel is minor. Gate codes, key locations and when you are away are genuine security details and should be changed.
No, but keep them generic. Tell the driver where to leave a parcel, not how to get in or when you are out.
Real couriers rarely ask for payment by text. Open the courier's app or website yourself and enter the tracking number from your order confirmation.
