To acquire the information, applicants are required to have skill in “evaluating Internet information from social media, chats, forums, dark net, Tor network, news feeds, internet relay chats and other sources of data openly available on the Internet.” These sources will be used to find out email and IP addresses, location data and Bitcoin. This is then to be compiled in a report which can be used as actionable intelligence by law enforcement agents.

Thanks to trumps freeze on government hiring they shouldn't be able to expand correct?

So basically they'll be doing what they've always been doing, just with slightly more effort? Okay. The same OPSec tips that are advised again and again by this community will keep our fruits ripe and unreachably high still.

USPS is already underfunded. Maybe part of that is because they pull stupid shit like. Leave it to the FBI and DEA where they actually have the resources. I have the utmost respect for postal inspectors and I know they were forced to do this, but this made me lose a lot of faith in them.

I'm sure they'll be far more effective than the thousands of people currently doing this at the FBI/ECT

We're all experts here. Let's have an interview.

If we hire you, fellow redditor, how would you go about investigating these networks sending drugs via the US Mails?
