UPS you cannot be trusted!

Hacking Humans:  The Cyber Wire- The best way to the break-in is to walk through the front door. - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-way-to-break-in-is-to-walk-through-the-front-door/id1391915810?i=1000440729814

           Summary:  This episode dives into a UPS tracking number scam that one of their viewers sent in.  A hacker has found a creative way to hack into a bank credit transaction dispute process to win the disputes before the money is returned to the owner. The hacker will sell something online and someone will buy it. First, the person buys the product then, they mail out it to someone that lives in your area and receive a valid tracking number. Next, they use this tracking number to provide to any bank that is trying to dispute a transaction. Finally, once a transaction dispute is emerging, the vendor (the hacker) can provide the bank with the tracking number. The bank then verifies with UPS or whatever the carrier and can verify it is valid they close out the dispute. It is important to note that, the banks have policies in place that if the tracking number is valid and has confirmed that it has been delivered, they close out the dispute and there is a likelihood that you will not be able to get your money back. In addition, UPS does not give out mailing addresses to anyone other than the actual person who lives at the address, which makes it harder to know if it was delivered to the correct address.

           Informed Thoughts: Hackers and scammers are changing in the game. At this point, my feelings are starting to be fretful of ordering online. Hackers are taking hacking to the next level but hacking into the bank credit dispute process. There are somethings I would like to mention. First, we all need to be careful with online shopping because everything that is posted online is not the real deal. I suggest sticking to online shopping sites such as Amazon, Fashion Nova, etc, just do not buy from any site, remember that it is quality over quantity. Second, if you are going to order from a website that you haven’t used before please do your research. As your friends, if they have ever heard of the site and look at reviews on YouTube. If no one on YouTube has purchased from that site, it is probably a scam so stay away. Third, banks should reevaluate how much information they provide to people about their transaction dispute process. It is mind-boggling that the hackers were able to find that loophole. Last, even though, technology was one of the greatest things be created it also becoming a threat to us. How will be safe from cybercrimes, scammers, hackers, and the dark side of technology that we all love so much?
