Amazon Wishlist change doxxes users and shares your delivery address
Amazon announced a sweeping change to its Wishlist feature that will make users’ addresses available to third-party sellers, recommending they get a PO Box to protect their privacy.
Amazon’s Lists feature lets shoppers compile items they want to buy in easily accessible groups. These lists can be private (for personal use only), or public for anyone to see, as well as shared with other users for events like wedding showers or parties.
Previously, users could block items sold by third-party sellers from their Wishlists. But starting March 25, 2026, anyone can buy you items from any seller, including third-party sellers.
This means that when someone buys you something on Amazon from a third-party seller, your shipping address will be shared with them so they can ship the item to you. This also means that parts of your address will also be visible to them during shipping for tracking updates.
[...]
Important note: When gifts are purchased from your shared or public lists, Amazon needs to provide your shipping address to sellers and delivery partners to fulfill these orders. During the delivery process, your address may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking information. To help protect your privacy, we recommend using a PO Box or non-residential address for any list you share with public audiences.
Hey everyone. As a result of some internal discussions, we have decided to restrict the usage of VScript on JA. Going forward there will be a general ban on VScript on all JA servers.
VScript is a powerful tool, and in some cases too powerful. There are several contributing factors to this decision but the primary points of issue are security and maintainability. Since JA's founding, the main assumption about mapping is that maps are generally safe from the point of view of the server operators. VScript introduces a structural shift in what mappers are capable of.
As it stands we just don't have the manpower to review every single map that we add to JA for potential issues with their scripts. Going forward we would like to encourage all mappers to try more conventional systems for map logic first.
Q: My map uses VScript. What does this mean for me?
A: Your map is still allowed on JA and we won't require a separate version, just be aware that any scripts included will not run on JA servers.
Q: Why is this necessary?
A: VScript is extremely powerful with similar capabilities as sourcemod plugins. At JA, our developers have always reviewed any plugins or extensions we upload to our servers for security, performance, stability, and maintainability concerns. The VScript update introduced a totally new vector for code to be added to our servers that we weren't prepared for. We think this is the best way to ensure we are able to maintain oversight on external code on JA.
Q: My VScript code is critical to the functionality of my map. Does this mean my map can't be on Jump Academy?
A: Talk to our developers (AI or Squid) about your map so we can review your code and come to a decision. We will be handling whitelisted maps on a case by case basis.
