Email spoofing is how they get your freight

The mission at The Bannon Report is simple. We build affordable fraud prevention tools for the 96% of the industry that cannot justify another high priced platform. This includes small to mid sized businesses, from brokers doing $10 million or less in annual revenue to carriers operating 10 trucks or fewer. These companies move the majority of freight in this country and represent the backbone of the industry.

They face the same risks as the largest organizations, but they do not have the same resources to manage them. That gap has existed for years and continues to drive exposure across the supply chain. Last night, we took a step toward closing it.

where the risk starts

Email spoofing has become one of the main entry points. Rate confirmations and load details are sent through standard email, intercepted, and redirected without anyone realizing it. Everything looks right until it is not, and by the time something feels off, the damage is already in motion. This is happening before the load ever moves and is one of the clearest examples of where control is being lost.

Secure Send addresses this by combining human-level verification with encrypted communication. Instead of relying on email, documents are delivered through a secure channel that only the intended recipient can access. Before a rate confirmation can be opened, the individual must verify their identity using facial recognition, ID validation, and GPS location.

verification across the entire shipment

That same level of verification carries through the entire shipment lifecycle. It can be triggered at dispatch, pickup, delivery, or any point where confirmation is needed. This creates a controlled process where both identity and communication are verified in real time instead of assumed, and where control stays with the right person from start to finish.

For $80 a month, smaller brokers and carriers can now protect both who they are working with and how information is shared. The goal is not to react after a loss, but to stop it before it starts.
