In late January, a user of the DAT Freight & Analytics load board was the victim of a meticulous and nasty lookalike-domain attack. The results were disastrous for everyone involved. A shipment was redirected and the freight was stolen. The intended recipients never received their goods. The carrier never got paid.
During a recent webinar, speakers shared five things trucking companies can do to secure their APIs. Read the quick rundown today.
As application programming interfaces (APIs) empower the digital progress of the trucking industry – connecting various digital platforms and programs to interact with each other – they also represent a vulnerable target for cyberattackers.
With critical input from the Enterprise and Heavy Vehicle Cybersecurity (EHVC) team at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc., the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) has just issued a position paper that recommends updated criteria for the next-generation tractor/trailer electrical interface.
The SMC³ Jump Start 2024 conference offered attendees numerous chances to hear from the NMFTA staff and those affiliated with the association.
You’re sitting at your workstation doing ordinary tasks when an attention-grabbing email shows up on your screen. You take the bait and click. Oh no. What next?
Do you have insight to share on the subject of cybersecurity – especially with relevance to the trucking industry?
If so, don’t wait another minute to submit a presentation abstract for this year’s Digital Solutions Conference on Cybersecurity.
Over the course of 2024, we’re subjecting ClassIT to a multiphase update that will make it more user-intuitive, easier to search and more friendly to workflow. We’ll do this by updating the tech stack, the user interface and the workflow, while incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into the process.
Explore what look-alike domains are, why they pose a significant threat, and how you can protect yourself or your business from falling victim to these malicious schemes.
Earlier this year, Ben Gardiner, NMFTA’s senior cybersecurity researcher, encouraged Chloe Cunningham of Peninsula Truck Lines to research an interesting question:
With respect to cybersecurity, how does the trucking industry compare to industrial control systems (ICS)? And how does it differ?
The phenomenon of cybercrime is not only growing, it is also constantly evolving. As technologies advance, cybercriminals find new ways to attack trucking companies and other industries.
Many of the cyber vulnerabilities facing trucks in service today stem from the fact that, when they were first built, there was little understanding of the cybersecurity issues that would present themselves in the future.
In other words, today.
