Hackers Use IT Tools to Hijack Trucking Freight and Steal Cargo

Hackers are targeting North America's trucking industry by exploiting legitimate remote management software like ScreenConnect to infiltrate networks, manipulate freight bookings, and enable cargo theft. Active since June 2025, these attacks blend cyber intrusion with physical crime, linked to organized groups.

Using compromised emails to install RMM tools, attackers harvest credentials, delete bookings, and insert fake listings, evading detection. Once inside, they coordinate with ground teams to steal and resell shipments, particularly food and beverages.

Protect your business: Monitor for suspicious RMM installations, use multi-factor authentication, and train staff on phishing. This evolution underscores the need for robust supply chain security.
