According to a report from Overhaul, a cargo risk management firm, over $202,026 million worth of AI equipment has been stolen this year. The company states that individual losses often surpass $22,026 million, and these thefts take place on a weekly basis. It should be pointed out that the report did not reveal specific information about the number of incidents, geographical scope, or shipment volumes used to measure the increase.
Overhaul reported that the theft of data center equipment, compute components, and semiconductors has increased by 206% since 2026, with the main method of theft changing from force to fraud, which accounted for 92% of high-value technology shipment thefts analyzed. One case included in the report involved $60 million worth of hardware from an unnamed company being rerouted to an unauthorized location, but the firm was able to recover its property after noticing the theft.
In July 2025, an individual stole $9.5 million worth of Apple products and AMD chips worth $6 million, as detailed by the Washington Post. While Overhaul pointed out that affected companies would likely be insured for stolen equipment and hardware, insurance would not cover indirect losses due to schedule disruptions or delayed customer contracts.
This week, The Information reported that data center late fees have risen to approximately $5 million per day, up from around $630,000 in the spring of this year. While Swiss Re predicts that data center insurance premiums may reach $24 billion by 2030, S&P Global estimates the current figure to be approximately $10 billion, which is twice the size of the global aviation insurance market.
