UPS Collaborates With External Apparatus And Experts After Phishing Attack Via SMS

The United Parcel Service (UPS) announced on Wednesday June 28 that it is working with law enforcement and external experts following reports of phishing messages sent via text message to a number of senders and customers in Canada.

The package delivery company did not disclose the number of affected customers and senders.

"The law enforcement agency has indicated an increase in smishing attacks (SMS phishing) affecting a number of different senders and industries," UPS said in an emailed statement.

Several companies in the United States have been vulnerable to similar attacks, prompting them to step up efforts to keep their business safe.

UPS said it was sending a privacy incident notification letter to individuals in Canada that may be affected.
