UPS Store Computer Breach Put Customer Data at Risk

United Parcel Service Inc. said a breach of computer systems at UPS Store retail outlets may have exposed customers’ personal and payment data at some locations this year.

Malware was found at 51 locations in 24 states, or about 1 percent of the 4,470 franchise stores across the U.S., UPS said in a statement today. About 105,000 transactions were affected, although the company can’t yet say how many customers, said Chelsea Lee, a UPS Store spokeswoman.
