Thieves are making a fortune stealing AI data center equipment
Thieves are targeting AI data center equipment, finding it easier to steal than to rob a bank.
Theft of AI data center equipment has become a lucrative business, with thieves targeting high-value items such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
These components are used in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, and are highly sought after by thieves due to their high value and the difficulty of replacing them.
As a result, data center operators are being forced to adapt their security measures to prevent these types of thefts, which can be costly and time-consuming to replace the stolen equipment.
