A clever UPS phishing campaign utilized an XSS vulnerability in UPS.com to push fake and malicious ‘Invoice’ Word documents.

The phishing scam was first discovered by security research Daniel Gallagher and pretended to be an email from UPS stating that a package had an “exception” and needs to be picked up by the customer.

What makes this phishing attack stand out is that the threat actor used the XSS vulnerability in UPS.com to modify the site’s regular page to look like a legitimate download page.

This vulnerability allowed the threat actor to distribute a malicious document through a remote Cloudflare worker but make it look like it was being downloaded directly from UPS.com.

Kenya is expecting new ultra-cold chain storage facilities as part of preparations for the rollout of Pfizer vaccines.

Fifteen fridges are expected to come from the UPS Foundation of the US. An undisclosed number will also be received from the Japan government.

The cold chain storage facilities are to be distributed in the nine regional vaccines stores ready for the deployment of the Pfizer doses, which require extremely cold temperatures.

All 106 Starpoint High School students whose Advanced Placement exam papers were lost for three months will receive $440 to compensate them for the trouble.

The word came from Sen. Charles E. Schumer’s office Friday. The money will come from United Parcel Service.

Schumer announced that all 106 students will be compensated by UPS with $95 to refund their original fee, another $95 for a retest and an additional $250, which UPS has dubbed a scholarship.

“I’m excited to announce that UPS saw the struggles faced by the students and has agreed to do right by them, giving each $440 – including a $250 scholarship – for their troubles,” Schumer said in a statement Friday.

The UPS Foundation gets to work

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake recently hit western Haiti, causing thousands of fatalities, and leaving countless people without homes or shelter. Tropical Storm Claire came through the country, creating added challenges for the people of Haiti.

In the days immediately following the devastation, UPS and The UPS Foundation went to work, committing more than $500,000 for food, shelter, medical care and aid to those who need it most.

UPS’s work in Haiti is a collaborative effort that includes non-profit partners, UPS Healthcare, Freight Forwarding and Coyote Logistics. Specifically, The UPS Foundation has coordinated three emergency relief flights through UPS Global Freight Forwarding. Combined, more than 1,000 hygiene kits, 3,000 blankets, 2,000 mosquito nets, 65 pallets and flatbeds containing food, water, medical supplies, PPE, mobile clinic kits, tents, mattresses, cots and other critical supplies will be delivered.
