New UPS text scam targets iPhone users with fake package redelivery info


Cybercriminals and fraudsters are using fake texts, this time from UPS, to gain access to iPhone users' personal information. Here's how to stay safe and keep your data from falling into the wrong hands.

Criminal groups, believed to include networks operating from China, use low-cost mass texting platforms and bulk phone number purchases to blast millions of devices.

Some fraudulent messages include threats of license suspension or credit score damage, as is the case with texts that impersonate government agencies.
