Target Trend
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
North American freight companies faced a sustained surge of malicious campaign activity in September and October 2025, with operators running nearly two dozen campaigns and per-campaign volumes ranging from under 10 to over 1000 messages. The repeated activity increases the risk of credential theft, freight fraud, and broader compromise across logistics operations. The pattern indicates an ongoing sector-wide targeting trend rather than a one-off email burst.
