Data Center Cargo Thefts Top $100 Million Since June

Criminal groups have stolen more than $100 million in servers and networking equipment from cargo shipments since June. The thefts were carried out using compromised freight accounts, false identities, and GPS spoofing to redirect high-value hardware in transit.

These incidents highlight a gap in current security planning for artificial intelligence infrastructure. Organizations managing sensitive computing supply chains must extend their security focus beyond physical facilities and data centers to include logistics operations and vendor identity verification.
