More than $100 million in US data-centre freight has been stolen since June, according to security and supply-chain experts cited by NBC News. In two successful robberies, thieves struck escorts protecting trucks carrying more than $10 million in goods.
Why it mattersThe reported thefts put a less glamorous part of the AI and computing build-out in the frame: valuable equipment must travel before it can power a data centre. The figures are estimates from industry veterans, not a police tally.
Discuss: Should data-centre operators spend more on securing freight, or is that mainly a job for carriers and law enforcement?
