高速公路盗贼正在使用复杂的数字战术，调查人员担心这些战术会容易地抢走载有数百万个昂贵数据中心设备的卡车。
核生化新闻对“数名业界领袖、顾问和调查员向执法部门提供咨询”的办公室进行了谈话，调查了最大的盗窃事件，并报告说，自6月以来，盗贼“以超过1亿美元的数据中心运费”被抢走。
称盗贼如何逃脱：首先，盗贼通过张贴假货来引诱真实的出价，侵入货运经纪人在发货名单网站上的账户，然后向任何响应的卡车公司发送恶意链接。 一旦受害者点击，盗贼会安装软件来控制他们的账户，并开始对真正的货运进行招标。 有时，一个真正的送货司机被雇佣来收货，却不知道有骗局，有时还用假驾照来雇用同谋。 无论哪种方式，货物最终被转移给与盗贼合作转售齿轮的司机，在最大的盗窃案中，追踪坐标被偷来防止数字监测。
通常针对的设备包括“服务器、光纤电缆、计算机内存芯片、铜线和比特币采矿机”,NBC News报道。
一些被击中的拖车似乎只携带数据中心设备，比如在伊利诺伊州发现的两起被偷的货运。 库克县警长办公室估计这些设备中含有价值30万美元的铜丝槽和大约100万美元的 " 定制数据中心模块式电力解决方案设备 "。 其他受冲击的卡车也携带了额外的货物，例如洛杉矶郡警长署的一宗案件，专家担心，这意味着美国人可能会被盗窃行为广泛伤害，而不仅仅是AI行业。
带警察去值班
虽然一些被窃物品已经找回，但在NBC News发现的两起最大的被窃事件中，没有找到任何设备，为护送这些货物而雇用的值班警察在肇事逃逸中遭到袭击。

Highway thieves are using sophisticated digital tactics that investigators worry make it easy to rob trucks carrying millions in expensive data center equipment.
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 posted on shipment-listing websites by posting fake shipments to lure real bids, then sending a malicious link to any trucking companies that respond. Once victims click, thieves install software to take control of their accounts and starting 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.
Equipment commonly targeted includes “servers, fiber-optic cables, computer memory chips, copper wires, and bitcoin mining machines,” NBC News reported.
Some trailers hit seem to be carrying only data center equipment, like two stolen freights found in Illinois. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office estimated those contained $300,000 worth of copper wire spools and about $1 million in “custom-made data center modular power solutions equipment,” NBC News reported. Other trucks impacted were carrying additional freight, like a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department case where “data center cooling equipment” bound for Deepcool AI was recovered among nicotine pouches, televisions, shoes, printers, speakers, and skin care cosmetics. Experts worry that means Americans may be broadly harmed by the thefts, not just the AI industry.
Taking out off-duty cop escorts
While some stolen goods have been recovered, in two of the largest thefts that NBC News found, none of the equipment was found, and off-duty cops hired to escort the shipments were targeted in hit-and-runs.
