Accidentally put address details online

Hi am a bit worried because I just noticed I'd inadvertently put my address on Twitter recently while replying to a request for help from a company where they'd told me to PM my address 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm going through some stressful stuff just now so I obviously wasn't thinking straight.

This actually happened over a week ago and I only noticed now (don't use Twitter/X very often). I quickly went in and deleted my address, made my profile private and blocked all the random accounts that follow me. Do I need to do anything else, should I be worried? Shit shit shit what an idiot.

What do you think will happen?

For the vast majority of people - Chill. Worst that will happen is a bit of junk mail.

If you happen to have a dangerous ex/previous stalker/other dangerous person who shouldn't know where you live, speak to the police non emergency number for advice incase something happens.

No dangerous exes or anything. Was just worried at how many people could potentially see it. But I'll see if any junk mail appears or anything. Have calmed down a bit after the initial panic. 😊

Why are you worried?

It's shockingly easy to find someone's address anyway.

SaintHonoria · 12/08/2024 08:52

Nothing will happen. It's just a random address.

Yeah all fine now just freaked out at the thought at first!
