Highway thieves are spoofing GPS to steal millions in data center-bound cargo
摘要
美国执法调查人员表示，自6月以来，高速公路窃贼利用黑客手段入侵货运经纪账户、发布虚假货运信息并植入恶意软件控制相关账户，已盗走价值超过1亿美元的运往数据中心的货物。窃贼还通过雇佣不知情司机或使用假驾照安排同伙接货，并在部分案件中伪造GPS坐标以规避数字监控。
Highway thieves are using sophisticated digital tactics that investigators worry make it easy to rob trucks carrying millions in expensive data center equipment.
NBC News spoke to “several industry leaders, consultants, and investigators advising law enforcement” offices probing the biggest thefts yet and reported that since June, thieves have “made away with more than $100 million in data center freight.”
Here’s how they said thieves get away with it: First, thieves hack freight brokers’ accounts on shipment-listing websites and post fake shipments to lure real bids, then send a malicious link to any trucking companies that respond. Once victims click, thieves install software to take control of their accounts and start bidding on real shipments. Sometimes, a real delivery driver is hired to collect the cargo, unaware of the scam, and other times fake driver’s licenses are used to get accomplices hired. Either way, the goods are eventually transferred to a driver working with the thieves to resell the gear, and, in one of the largest thefts, tracking coordinates were spoofed to prevent digital monitoring.
