If you've ever used the U.S. Postal service online, your private information could be at risk.

The USPS said a loophole let anyone with an online account view account details for its 60 million other users.

Information includes your email address, username, street address and phone number.

The issue was tied to a free program, called Informed Visibility, which offers mail tracking and reporting in almost real time.

A researcher discovered the flaw in 2017, but no action was taken until earlier this month.
