Cybercriminals are targeting transportation companies with sophisticated cargo theft schemes that cause over $30 billion in annual losses. The attacks begin with fake load postings on broker marketplaces, then hackers send malicious emails containing remote access tools to carriers who respond. Once inside company systems, attackers deploy tools like ScreenConnect and LogMeIn to take control of scheduling and dispatch systems. They book loads under the victim's name, then divert valuable shipments to their own operatives for resale online or overseas. Proofpoint researchers believe organized crime groups are behind these operations, which have targeted companies across the US, Brazil, Germany, India, and other hotspots since January 2025. **Source:** [Security Week](https://www.securityweek.com/transportation-companies-hacked-to-steal-cargo/)
