A recent Proofpoint report has revealed a growing wave of cyberattacks targeting trucking and logistics companies through malicious remote access software. Cybercriminals are using fake logistics job postings and supplier correspondence to trick employees into downloading Remote Access Trojans (RATs), giving attackers full system control. Once inside, threat actors have leveraged these tools to steal credentials, manipulate shipping data, and disrupt operations. Proofpoint warns that the logistics industry’s increasing digital connectivity makes it a prime target for such threats, urging firms to strengthen employee awareness, email authentication, and endpoint security to protect their supply chains against evolving cyber risks.
