Having had significant periods of unemployment, one problem with Internet-advertized posts is that they do NOT give an email address but only a snailmail one, without suite number or company name. Several times I have taken my CV to such an address only to find that the building contained many firms which might have a "personnel office" or "hiring manager". I do not know what happened to CVs I sent by snailmail to such addresses.
As for someone on the delivery route reading my information, that increases my visibility, which is just what I want if I am unemployed. It may explain some rejection letters I have had - in pre-Internet days - from firms to which I had not applied. Really there is a problem only when I have an enemy who should not know my address and when I do not want my current employer to know that I am job-hunting. It would not hurt me that the FBI knew of my Cobol skills.
