the worst ive ever seen cargo thieves are turning violent in pursuit of ai hardware

Recently, theft cases of AI hardware have increased significantly worldwide. Some gangs have resorted to violent methods to obtain high-value equipment. According to Wired, thieves no longer limit themselves to traditional non-contact theft; they now carry out armed robberies or physical attacks on warehouses, transport vehicles, and even retail stores. This shift reflects the soaring prices of high-value components such as AI chips and servers on the black market, as well as the aggressive strategies adopted by theft gangs in response to strengthened security measures. Currently, law enforcement agencies are working together with multiple national intelligence agencies to track major criminal networks, but detailed information about the locations of victims and the amounts stolen is still being updated continuously.
