Why carriers and brokers are targeted — and how domain protection helps.
Fake rate confirmations — A load is booked with a spoofed broker address.
Payment redirection — Updated wire instructions that look like your factoring company.
Double brokering tricks — Urgent messages pressuring quick decisions without verification.
Dispatch runs on deadlines. Attackers write short, urgent notes knowing staff may not verify domain authentication before acting.
Publish strong DMARC so external fakes are harder to deliver. Train staff to verify payment changes by phone using known numbers — not reply addresses.
DMARC stops unauthorized servers from sending as your domain. Display-name tricks from unrelated domains still need staff verification.
