PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:

Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.

In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.

@dalias was this not already possible? like i'm not sure how wishlists would work if the seller didn't know how to ship the product?
@azonenberg Previously you could select that you only accept gifts fulfilled by Amazon. They just took away that ability.
@azonenberg @dalias why would they take that away 😨
@rexo @azonenberg To improve wishlist metrics and appeal to third party sellers.
