UPS store at 51 locations hit with Malware, Customers' Card data at risk

UPS Store, a subsidiary of UPS, said that 51 US Stores in 24 States were hit with a malware which was not detected by current Antivirus software.

The breach puts customers who used a credit or debit card at one of the affected locations between January 20,2014 and August 11 at risk.

Customer information that may have been exposed in this breach includes names, postal addresses, email addresses and payment information.

The company hired an IT Security firm to conduct forensic investigation after receiving a notification about a "broad-based malware intrusion" from US Government.

The UPS Store said it eliminated the malware as of August 11.  The company is offering identity protection and credit card monitoring services to impacted customers.
