窃贼利用GPS欺骗与账户黑客手段窃取超亿美元数据中心货物

据NBC News报道，自今年6月以来，犯罪分子通过黑客手段入侵货运经纪人账户并伪造发货信息，已窃取价值超过1亿美元的运往数据中心的货物 1。在最大的一起盗窃案中，作案者利用GPS坐标欺骗技术来阻止数字监控系统的定位 1。

具体的作案手法包括向运输公司发送恶意链接以接管受害者账户 1。一旦受害者点击这些链接，其账户就会被安装软件接管，进而被用于对真实发货进行投标 1。此外，犯罪流程还始于黑客入侵货运经纪人的账户并发布虚假发货单，以此诱骗投标 1。

在提取货物环节，部分案件使用了假驾照雇佣同伙，或雇佣不知情的真实司机收集货物 1。

Thieves have stolen more than $100 million worth of freight destined for data centers since June, employing a sophisticated mix of account hacking and GPS spoofing to evade detection 1. The criminal operations begin by compromising the accounts of cargo brokers through malicious links that install software on victims' devices 1. Once access is gained, the attackers use these hijacked accounts to submit fraudulent bids on shipments or post fake load information designed to lure legitimate transport companies 1.

The heist execution often involves deceptive logistics to obscure the true location of the stolen goods. In the largest identified theft, criminals utilized GPS coordinate spoofing technology specifically to disrupt digital monitoring systems and prevent real-time tracking 1. To physically collect the cargo, the gangs either recruit accomplices using forged driver's licenses or manipulate unsuspecting genuine drivers into picking up the goods under false pretenses 1.
