CTOnews.com, June 27 (Xinhua) recently, many hackers have targeted logistics companies because logistics companies are involved in frequently dealing with private data such as customer addresses and phone numbers, and such companies do not have strict security protection for customer information.

Brett Callow, a researcher at security analysis firm Emsisoft, revealed that he recently received a letter from the Canadian branch of logistics company UPS saying that users should be on the lookout for text message fraud and phishing email these days.

From February 1, 2022 to April 24, 2023, hackers used UPS's information search tool to obtain a large amount of private data containing all kinds of information about the sender, and packaged the data for sale.
