In a shocking new development, cybercriminals have found a way to target trucking and logistics companies with remote monitoring and management (RMM) software, bringing the age-old crime of stealing cargo into the digital age. Apparently, these hackers decided that simply hijacking the contents of trucks wasn’t ambitious enough—now, they’re aiming to swipe the Wi-Fi passwords as well.

The unidentified threat cluster, active since at least June 2025 according to cybersecurity firm Proofpoint, appears to be taking a page out of the modern workplace handbook: working remotely. Sources say the hackers are collaborating with organized crime groups because teamwork makes the dream work, even when the dream is more a nightmare for logistics companies.

Meanwhile, trucking companies are reportedly considering ditching the digital approach altogether and returning to the good old days of paper maps and verbal directions. It’s a bold strategy to counter an enemy whose greatest strength seems to be a love for remote work and a knack for cargo theft—skills that any LinkedIn consultant would tell you are highly transferable in today’s job market.
