In the fast-paced world of freight brokers, email is often the lifeline of communication but it’s also one of the most vulnerable points in the load lifecycle.
In just the first nine months of 2025, Highway has already blocked over 1.4 million fraudulent email attempts—a 59% increase that surpasses the 914,719 attempts blocked during all of 2024.
Fraudsters increasingly target inboxes to intercept rate confirmations, spoof carriers, and gain access to sensitive load and payment information.
Without proper verification, a single compromised email can trigger a chain reaction — from fake tenders to stolen freight. This is why Highway emphasizes secure communication practices and outbound verification as non-negotiable.
