Recent cybersecurity research has revealed a growing threat targeting the logistics industry: cybercriminals leveraging remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools to gain unauthorized access to carrier environments, manipulate freight systems, and covertly facilitate cargo theft. Since the initial identification of this activity in late 2025, additional threat actors have emerged across North America and Europe, significantly expanding the scale and sophistication of these attacks.
These groups commonly use phishing emails, malware payloads, and credential harvesting campaigns that impersonate trusted industry platforms such as DAT, Truckstop, RMIS, Central Dispatch, Super Dispatch, and Amazon Relay. Once access is obtained, attackers exploit freight matching systems and internal workflows to fraudulently bid on and divert shipments.
This session will examine the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used in these campaigns, showcase real-world phishing examples, and explain how unauthorized access is weaponized within logistics environments. Attendees will also gain practical defensive strategies to detect malicious activity, strengthen authentication controls, and disrupt intrusions before they result in fraud or cargo theft.
