UPS Store Computer Breach May Put Customer Data at Risk

United Parcel Service Inc. said a breach of computer security at some of its UPS Store retail outlets may have exposed customers’ personal and payment data 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 yesterday in a statement. About 105,000 transactions were affected, although the company can’t yet say how many customers, said Chelsea Lee, a UPS Store spokeswoman.
