In this episode of Fraud Girl, host Danielle Spinelli talks with cybersecurity expert Rolondo Thomas, Senior Vice President of Ergon Consulting Group, about the growing threat of cybersecurity breaches in freight and logistics. As the industry faces a shift from traditional cargo theft to advanced logistics fraud, this conversation highlights how cybercriminals are targeting brokers, carriers, and shippers through email phishing scams, Gmail compromises, and ransomware attacks.

Rolondo breaks down why relying solely on managed IT is no longer enough, and how unsecured domains, personal devices (BYOD), and poor email security are putting logistics operations at risk. He explains the difference between IT support and true cybersecurity for freight companies, and shares real-world examples of email takeovers, freight forwarding scams, and fraudulent load postings that have disrupted entire supply chains.

This episode covers practical solutions for freight brokers and logistics providers, including best practices for securing your TMS, training employees, implementing strong cybersecurity policies, and vetting third-party tech providers. It’s a must-listen for anyone in transportation, freight, or 3PL operations looking to protect their data, money, and reputation from digital threats.
