Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Thieves have stolen over $100 million in data center equipment since June. They compromise freight accounts through malicious links, then bid on shipments using hijacked identities, and those with fake licenses get accomplices hired as drivers. Two thefts involved ramming security escorts' vehicles. One $10 million shipment disappeared after its tracking coordinates were apparently spoofed.
