By Suzanne Phan, ABC7 San Francisco OAKLAND, Calif. Authorities are investigating the theft of more than $11 million worth of Nvidia computer hardware in Oakland, California, in what experts describe as a sophisticated cargo heist targeting one of the world's most valuable technology companies.
据《湾区新闻集团》(Bay Area News Group)报道,这起盗窃案涉及价值1140万美元的英伟达货物,这些货物在离开奥克兰前往德克萨斯州途中失踪。
According to reporting by the Bay Area News Group, the theft involved $11.4 million worth of Nvidia cargo that disappeared after departing Oakland on its way to Texas.
这批由六个托盘的英伟达硬件组成的货物于8月29日离开该地区,目的地为沃斯堡。当局表示,货物按计划由一辆卡车提走,该车被确认为一家食品运输公司的车辆。调查人员随后在圣贝纳迪诺县失去了该车辆的踪迹。
The shipment, consisting of six pallets of Nvidia hardware, left the area on Aug. 29 and was bound for Fort Worth. Authorities said the cargo was picked up as planned by a truck identified as a food transport company. Investigators later lost track of the vehicle in San Bernardino County.
奥克兰警方在一份声明中表示:“奥克兰警方正在调查一起发生在东奥克兰的重大盗窃案。受害者于2026年9月13日向奥克兰警方报案。”
In a statement, Oakland police said: "The Oakland Police Department is investigating a grand theft that occurred in East Oakland. The victim reported the crime to OPD on Sept. 13, 2026."
加州大学伯克利分校哈斯商学院教授、人工智能、新兴技术和全球经济学专家Olaf Groth表示,英伟达芯片极其抢手。
Olaf Groth, a professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and has expertise in artificial intelligence, emerging technology and global economics, said Nvidia chips are highly sought after.
Groth说:“在任何安保薄弱的地方,劫持这些芯片都有巨大的诱因。”他表示,这些芯片在美国境外能卖出高得多的价格。
"There's lots and lots of incentives to hijack those chips anywhere where security is weak," Groth said. He said the chips can command significantly higher prices outside the United States.
Groth说:“这些芯片在境外的售价大约是美国境内的两倍。所以,如果一颗芯片在美国卖约55万美元,那么在国外就能卖到约100万美元甚至更高。”
"These chips command about double the price that they command inside the United States. So, if a chip costs about $550,000, then they go for about $1 million or more abroad," Groth said.
这起盗窃案是湾区接连发生的针对高价值科技货运犯罪案件中的最新一起。去年,弗里蒙特和联合城警方曾调查涉及英伟达货物的入室盗窃案,涉案价值超过750万美元。
ft is the latest in a series of crimes targeting high-value technology shipments in the Bay Area. Last year, police in Fremont and Union City investigated burglaries involving Nvidia cargo valued at more than $7.5 million.
Groth表示,此类盗窃案的规模和复杂性表明,犯罪活动日益呈现出复杂化、专业化的特征。
Groth said the scale and complexity of such thefts suggest increasingly sophisticated criminal operations. "Because the cargoes are getting bigger.
“因为货物越来越大。盗窃手段越来越复杂,这将指向劫持这些货物的团队正在职业化,”他说。
The heists are getting more complex and that will point toward a professionalization of the teams that are hijacking these," he said.
一名地区居民还提供了一段9月份另一起未遂盗窃案的视频。据警方称,嫌疑人以为他们盯上的是装载昂贵英伟达技术的卡车。实际上卡车里装的是4万磅沙子。格罗斯说,这些事件凸显了保护先进计算技术的更广泛担忧。
An area resident also provided video of a separate attempted theft in September. According to police, suspects believed they were targeting trucks carrying expensive Nvidia technology. The trucks instead contained 40,000 pounds of sand. Groth said the incidents highlight broader concerns about protecting advanced computing technology.
“必须大幅加强这些货物的安保,因为它们是国家安全资产,”他说。他还对被盗硬件最终可能流向何处表示担忧。
"Security has to get a lot tighter around these because they're a national security asset," he said. He also raised concerns about where stolen hardware could ultimately end up.
“这也是一个国家安全问题,因为我们不知道这些芯片会流向哪里。它们可能流向中国,也可能流向世界上任何我们有冲突的地方,”格罗斯说。
"This is a national security concern as well because we don't know where these chips are going. They could be going to China, they could be anywhere where we have conflict in the world," Groth said.
当局尚未宣布在价值1140万美元的盗窃案中有任何人被捕,调查仍在进行中。
Authorities have not announced any arrests in the $11.4 million theft, and the investigation remains ongoing.
专家表示,此案凸显了人们对高价值技术货物运输安全以及先进计算机硬件进入黑市可能带来的国家安全影响的日益担忧。
Experts say the case underscores growing concerns about the security of high-value technology shipments and the potential national security implications when advanced computer hardware enters the black market.
