Estes is one of our regular carriers, as well. Fortunately, there are enough independent companies that it would be hard to cripple the country through a cyber attack. But if three or four of the largest ones, including UPS or FedEx went down, even for a few days, there would be big trouble.

[Tell It Right]

I wonder how many of the carriers use a common logistics/cloud software service. Usually hacking into a cloud service means hacking into just the individual customer's portion (largely from that company's IT not tightening up the security they're allowed to manage). That means only one carrier would be down.

But a comprehensive hack impacting the overall logistics software service provider could cripple all of the carriers depending on that software service.
