Talk about asking for trouble...

So, I in my 'conda, and I farm a compromised nav beacon for manufactured mats. I have the [allegedly] bright idea to go in there with one bar of platinum in my hold. "I'll get a few scans and have to do less chasing. Easy pezzy..." Not... As soon as I jump in, my main chat fills up with simultaneous scans, and half the blips go red at once. GAAAA! Barely got out of there with my butt intact. Talk about a blood hound's nose for precious metals! Doesn't anybody feed these people?! LOL!

But what happens when you jettison the cargo, do some of them give up and go into scoop mode?
 
This is one of those situations where knowing where your Util mounts are situated is very useful. I've found a single Point Defence mounted on one of the Util mounts either side of the cargo hatch ('Vette) can be remarkably effective.
Memories of the sentry gun scenes in Aliens.

In the old days (2015), you used to see the pirates picking up the cargo from the ships they'd blown up in the resource extraction sites, but i haven't noticed them do that recently.
 
Just have a couple of point defense units to deal with the many hatchbreaker limpets that you'll have inbound. One pd will work but the occasional hatchbreaker will get though and you'll loose some cargo
