Organized criminal groups are increasingly using sophisticated cybercrime tactics, including GPS spoofing, to target and steal high-value cargo destined for data centers. These thefts, which involve servers, fiber-optic cables, and computer memory chips, have resulted in losses exceeding $100 million since June 2026. The new methods represent a significant shift from traditional cargo theft, with strategic theft now accounting for a substantial portion of all cargo crime. The average loss per incident has also risen sharply, indicating a growing threat to the logistics and technology sectors.
