United Parcel Service Inc. announced late Wednesday that it had suffered a data breach exposing customer information, but the unusual part of the news was that it caught and held the breach to just 1 percent of its stores nationwide, affecting about 105,000 customers.
“It didn’t affect millions of people, but rather was on the small side compared to other breaches,” attorney and cybersecurity expert Randy Sabett told CorpCounsel.com on Thursday. In contrast, the cyberattack on Target Corporation last winter involved tens of millions of credit and debit card accounts.
