51 Franchised UPS Stores Hacked, Possible Data Breach

If you used a credit card to pay for services or products at The UPS Store this year, your private information may have been hacked.

In a statement issued this week, The UPS Store Inc. says that 51 of its franchise locations across the country were victims of a malware attack. Customers at those 51 locations between Jan. 20 and Aug. 11 may have had their personal data exposed. Most of the malware attacks occurred after March 26. UPS says it has eliminated the threat and that all transactions after Aug. 11 are safe from the malware intrusion.

The UPS Store says that the following customer information may have been hacked in the malware attack:

• Names
• Postal addresses
• Email addresses
• Payment card information

Not all of this information may have been compromised for each customer, The UPS Store says in its statement.

The UPS Store was not the only victim of this broad-based malware attack, according to a statement from the company. Other retailers across the country were likely affected, too. The UPS Store was notified of the malware attack by the U.S. government. It’s believed that the malware responsible for the intrusion was not identifiable by anti-virus software.

After The UPS Store became aware of the malware, the problematic files were identified on the systems at 51 locations in 24 states. That represents 1 percent of all The UPS Store locations.

In a prepared statement released with the announcement, Tim Davis, President at The UPS Store, explained:

“As soon as we became aware of the potential malware intrusion, we deployed extensive resources to quickly address and eliminate this issue. Our customers can be assured that we have identified and fully contained the incident.”

The UPS Store says it is not aware of any fraud that has arisen from the attack. Still, the company will maintain an informational website for its customers to consult, and will also provide customers who used a credit card during the affected time with identity protection and credit monitoring services.
