The theft fits a broader pattern investigators have flagged, with more than $100 million in similar high-tech hardware shipments stolen since June using tactics like GPS spoofing and staged collisions, according to NBC News. Such organized thefts suggest criminal networks are increasingly targeting valuable AI chip supply chains, which could pressure logistics firms and chipmakers to tighten shipment security and tracking.
