高速公路窃贼正在使用复杂的数字手段，调查人员担心这使得抢劫运载数百万美元昂贵数据中心设备的卡车变得轻而易举。
Highway thieves are using sophisticated digital tactics that investigators worry make it easy to rob trucks carrying millions in expensive data center equipment.
NBC 新闻采访了“多位行业领袖、顾问以及向执法机构提供建议的调查人员”，他们正在调查迄今为止最大的几起盗窃案，并报道称自 6 月以来，窃贼已“窃取了超过 1 亿美元的数据中心货运”。以下是他们所说的窃贼得手的方式：首先，窃贼入侵货运经纪人在货运信息网站上的账户，发布虚假货运信息以引诱真实竞标，然后向任何回应的货运公司发送恶意链接。
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.
一旦受害者点击，窃贼就会安装软件控制其账户，并开始对真实货运进行竞标。有时会雇佣真正的送货司机来提货，司机并不知情这是骗局；有时则使用伪造驾照让同伙获雇。无论哪种方式，货物最终都会被转交给与窃贼串通的司机以转售设备，而在最大的一起盗窃案中，追踪坐标被伪造，以防止数字监控。
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.
