Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Criminal Gangs Target AI Hardware in Violent Cargo Heists

Criminal Gangs Target AI Hardware in Violent Cargo Heists. Criminal groups are increasingly targeting high-value AI hardware in cargo thefts, with two recent incidents in California involving unusually aggressive attacks on security escorts. In both cases, vehicles deliberately rammed or forced escort cars off the road before the trucks carrying millions of dollars in data-center equipment disappeared. The incidents have raised concerns that cargo theft in the United States is becoming more violent as the rapid expansion of AI data centers creates lucrative new targets. Thieves are also exploiting weaknesses in the freight industry by hacking trucking companies, impersonating legitimate carriers and using stolen registration numbers to obtain valuable shipments. Authorities have recovered millions of dollars in stolen AI-related equipment in several cases, including server switches and data-center cooling systems, but many shipments remain missing. The combination of increasingly sophisticated fraud and physical attacks has alarmed freight-security specialists, who fear the recent California incidents could signal a broader problem.
