Amazon Text Scams, Nuclear SharePoint Breach, & Coffee Pod Recall
Welcome to The Workday Dash - where your supply chain isn’t the only thing under attack.
Today’s brew comes with a side of yikes:
📱 Amazon shoppers are getting blasted with refund scam texts… up 5000% since Prime Day.
🕵️♂️ Microsoft’s on-prem SharePoint just got cracked open by Chinese hackers (yes, really).
☕ And that cup of joe? If it’s a New Mexico Piñon K-Cup, double-check! Because the FDA just recalled it for potential ink contamination. Tastes like... toner?
Whether it’s cyber threats, sketchy texts, or ink in your coffee, today’s takeaway is clear: stay alert, stay caffeinated, and maybe don’t trust anything that pings, prints, or pours.
Let’s dash.
“To rejoice in the prosperity of another is to partake of it.”
Freight Scams Incoming? Don’t Be the Weak Link.
Amazon users are getting blasted with scam texts… up 5000% since Prime Day. These refund-themed messages look innocent but lead to fake login pages designed to swipe your account info. And here’s the kicker: they don’t even know you use Amazon; they’re just betting you do (which, let’s be real... you probably do).
📲 The scam playbook? Short links, fake urgency, and a bogus promise of undelivered packages or surprise refunds. Behind it all? Sophisticated criminal networks using burner phones to bypass filters and flood inboxes.
Why Logistics Professionals Should Care:
If hackers can spoof Amazon, what’s stopping them from mimicking load boards, tracking portals, or BOL alerts? One fake click from your ops team and BOOM… your network’s toast. Freight tech = trust. And trust is exactly what phishing scams are built to break.
🔥 Hot Take:
If Prime Day triggered a scam tsunami, imagine what Black Friday could do to your TMS login. Lock it down now or risk more than a missed delivery.
SharePoint Breach Hits U.S. Nuclear Agency… but Logistics Industry Should Still Be on Alert
Chinese state-sponsored hackers just breached Microsoft’s on-prem SharePoint servers. Yep, even the National Nuclear Security Administration got hit. 😬 The good news? No classified info was stolen. The bad news? It exposed just how vulnerable outdated on-prem systems really are.
The cyberattack exploited a zero-day vulnerability to steal credentials and gain deep access. Microsoft pushed a patch, but the exploit gave hackers the kind of persistent backdoor access that gives IT teams nightmares.
Agencies affected include the U.S. Department of Education, Florida’s Department of Revenue, and several international governments.
💡 Why Logistics Should Care:
If your TMS, portals, shipment trackers, or document systems are tied to legacy Microsoft infrastructure… you're in the blast radius. Hackers don’t care what you haul - they care what you store. Think bills of lading, invoices, routing data. Cybersecurity isn’t optional anymore… it’s part of your freight plan.
🔥 Hot Take:
If your SharePoint setup is older than your warehouse Wi-Fi, you might be one zero-day away from disaster. Logistics runs on trust, and nothing reroutes a shipment faster than a breach. Upgrade before you upload.
Ink in Your Cup? That’s a Hard Pass.
Heads up, caffeine crew… your morning pick-me-up just made the recall list. The FDA flagged a batch of New Mexico Piñon Coffee K-Cups (Dark Piñon, 10ct, UPC 812361033081) because the clear coat on the lids didn’t apply correctly. Translation? When the heat cranks up in your Keurig, the food-safe ink might run… straight into your brew. Gross.
Sold nationwide, these pods are now part of a growing reminder that even the smallest packaging slip can boil over into a full-blown reverse logistics mess.
🚚 Why Logistics Should Care:
This isn’t just a consumer alert; it’s a case study in chaos for supply chains. Recalls = pulled inventory, halted fulfillment, customer confusion, and warehouse reroutes. Food & beverage shippers: if you’re not obsessing over packaging QA, you’re playing a risky game.
🔥 Hot Take:
When ink hits the brew, your logistics better not hit the fan. One seal error, and suddenly your supply chain’s doing a walk of shame in aisle five.
