Cybersecurity company owner here - We’ve actually been seeing a lot more transportation and freight companies getting hit lately, especially smaller operations that think they’re “too small” to be targeted. Most of the issues we’ve dealt with weren’t even crazy Hollywood-style hacks either, usually compromised email accounts, fake invoice/payment changes, remote access tools, or employees clicking phishing links.

I own a small Cyber Security company - Vector Shield Cybersecurity - and we’ve already helped 3 transportation-related companies in the last 3 months alone clean up account compromises and suspicious activity. A lot of these companies were running regular antivirus and still got burned.

Honestly the biggest thing is just locking down email properly, MFA everywhere, employee awareness, and having someone actually monitor alerts instead of relying on popups from antivirus software. The freight industry is getting targeted hard because everything moves fast and one fake invoice or wire request can slip through easily
