The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
NYC Stores 'Terrorized' by Repeat Offenders
Park Slope shop owners terrorized by uptick in 'brazen' crimes
Sunday's
$2 million smash-and-grab heist at a Park Slope jewelry store is just
the latest audacious attack in the once-quiet, upscale Brooklyn enclave, The
Post has learned. Two other shops have been targeted by crooks in recent months,
including Glitz Jewelers and an AT&T outlet - next to Facets
Jewelry, which was ransacked this past weekend.
 "The
criminals are brazen," said Eddie Khanimov, owner of Glitz Jewelers, where
sledgehammer-wielding robbers made off with a third of his store's inventory -
$200,000 in gold and diamonds - in less than 10 minutes on Aug. 17. "They don't
care. It's like the wild, wild west. They are in and out in five minutes."
Park Slope's uptick in crime is the worst Khanimov has seen "since the '80s,"
he said - and he blames the state's controversial bail laws.
"The people doing these crimes are repeat offenders,
who the courts keep letting out. ... The laws have to be changed," he
said. "Repeat offenders should go to jail and stay in jail. They have to
stop letting them out."
Under the controversial 2019 state criminal justice reforms, judges are
prohibited from setting bail on most crimes - including nearly all non-violent
larcenies. Critics had long complained that the statute creates a revolving
door for repeat offenders - releasing them to the streets to commit more
crimes,
including serial thieves.
A downward Slope
NYPD statistics reviewed by The Post show that shoplifting and retail thefts
in Park Slope jumped more than 55% in the 78th Precinct - which patrols
Park Slope - through September compared to the same nine-month time span in
2021. And the trend seems to be continuing into the new year.

Retail's War on Theft Continues to be The Hot
Topic
Lowe's to sell power tools that won't work if they're stolen - similar to Home
Depot's 2021 initiative
Lowe's is combining RFID and blockchain
technologies to ensure stolen products are rendered inoperable.
 Lowe's
isn't
messing around with shoplifters. Through Lowe's Innovation Labs, the
company is planning to launch an anti-theft initiative, called "Project
Unlock," that uses RFID chips and scanners to
activate products that are legitimately purchased.
In other words, if a power tool is stolen from Lowe's, it isn't going to work.
Project Unlock has two main components. First, products are loaded with RFID
tags that have unique serial numbers. When customers check out, a scanner
reads all tags on the products, and if they have the correct serial number, the
product is activated at sale.
Additionally, Project Unlock focuses on transparent purchase records. More
specifically, the company said it is utilizing blockchain technology to
create a "secure publicly accessible anonymized record of authentic product
purchases."
Essentially, when a product is purchased, it is recorded in the blockchain - or
a system in which a record of transactions is maintained across computers that
are linked. And if a thief tries to resell stolen goods to other individuals
or third-party marketplaces, potential buyers can check to make sure they're not
buying a stolen good.
Lowe's isn't the first company to get creative with anti-theft measures. In
2021, Home Depot
began selling power tools that won't work unless they're properly scanned
and activated at the register via Bluetooth technology.

Florida Trying to Stop Credit Card Companies
from Tracking Gun Store Sales
Credit card companies track gun sales amid concerns
over violence & mass shootings
New bill seeks data protection after gun and ammo sales
Florida may soon fine some financial
institutions that identify gun store purchases under a pending proposal ahead of
the upcoming legislative session.
 The
proposal - known as the "Florida
Arms and Ammo Act" - seeks to thwart the emerging corporate practice of
identifying and potentially flagging an individual's financial data after a
purchase at a gun retailer.
Proponents, including Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, describe the
proposal as a "first in the nation." The effort comes as some credit card
companies
track and categorize gun store sales amid growing
concerns of violence and mass shootings.
Zephyrhills Republican Sen.
Danny
Burgess and Palm City Republican Rep.
John Snyder are the bill sponsors. The pair, alongside Simpson and Brevard
County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, characterized the practice of tracking sales at
gun stores as a danger to liberty and privacy. What's more, they warned of
the potential for a "backdoor firearm registry" by financial corporations. State
law
prohibits firearm registries.
Under the proposal, credit companies may face fines up to $10,000 per
violation. Several companies, including Visa and Mastercard, have embraced
the use of new transaction codes to categorize purchases at retailers that
primarily sell ammunition and guns. Gun store transactions were previously
recorded within a broader category, such as sporting goods.
It is difficult to quantify how many guns are owned in Florida. The state,
however, is home to more than 2.6 million residents with a concealed weapon
permit as of December, according to the
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

NY Has No Intention of Changing Bail Reform
Law
NY Gov. Hochul offers bail reform rollback that changes little in State of the
State speech
Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered a State of the State address - her first as New
York's elected governor - that offered little change to the controversial
bail reform law passed by the legislative leaders seated behind her.
While talking tough Tuesday on the scourge of crime and shootings, her proposal
would merely give judges a bit more discretion in setting bail for defendants
accused of serious crimes.
In addition, the governor glossed over the issue of recidivism, which the
NYPD has repeatedly pointed to as a critical factor, with a small handful of
repeat offenders responsible for major amounts of
shoplifting arrests and other illegal activity.
"Data from before and after the enactment of bail reform actually shows that
eliminating the 'least restrictive' standard for bail eligible offenses - while
retaining it for less serious crimes - will not increase the overall rate of
pretrial incarceration," according to a briefing book distributed to reporters.
State Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt (R-Lockport) also said that Hochul's
speech "While the governor echoed our themes, she ignored the stark reality
that one-party, progressive policies have made New York less safe and less
affordable. New Yorkers deserve action that matches the rhetoric."

The Formal End of the COVID 'Public Health
Emergency'
Biden team eyes end of Covid emergency declaration and shift in Covid team
The Biden administration wants to lift the
yearslong emergency declaration for the pandemic. But first, it needs to manage
the latest Covid threat.
 When
the Biden administration renews the Covid public health emergency this week, it
will mark the 11th time since the coronavirus arrived that the government
declared its presence a national crisis. It may also be the last.
Senior Biden officials are targeting an end to the emergency designation for
Covid as soon as the spring, after debating doing so last summer and taking
a pass, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO. Should they do
so, such a move would represent a major pivot point in the country's battle
with the pandemic.
The decision, which has not yet been finalized amid more immediate efforts to
manage a recent spike in Covid cases, would trigger a complex restructuring
of major elements of the federal response - and set the stage for the eventual
shifting of greater responsibility for vaccines and treatments to the private
market. It would kickstart a transition away from the White House-led crisis
operation and toward treating the virus as a continuous long-term threat.

COVID's Toll Continues Silently
The covert winter wave of Covid-19
The coronavirus that caused the pandemic has
largely vanished from public discourse - but it's still causing deaths.
In late October 2022, epidemiologists and infectious disease experts around the
world began to notice an unsettling trend. As the epidemiologist Adam Kucharski
explained in a
Twitter thread, there was a new wave of Covid-19 afoot - but it was going
largely unnoticed. Today the alarming spikes of Covid-19 deaths and
hospitalisations, which we had all become familiar with during the grim days
of 2020 and 2021, have been replaced by a more insidious, but unrelenting
succession of daily fatalities.
As an example, let's take a figure for 21 December 2022 - 133 Covid-19 related
deaths in England according to the
UK government website
- a number which may sound unremarkable compared to 2020 when people were being
killed in their thousands by the virus (in the
same week in the US 2,919 people died from Covid-19). But as Kucharski
points out, over time even low levels of deaths can accumulate to a striking,
perhaps even shocking number.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the makeshift response to a seriously leaky roof
at the big-box store location in Irvine, CA Monday night. Employees appear
to have set up tons of strategically-placed plastic bags that take water

The New Era of Zoom Layoffs & Social Media
Criticisms
The Debate Swirling Inside HR Departments: How to Lay Off Workers
When exactly to fire employees, whether to cut once or multiple times and how
much severance to offer can vex executives; the Zoom question
Executives considering downsizing are currently grappling with the same problem:
finding the most effective way to
let employees go.
Is it better to get layoffs over with all at once even at the risk of cutting
too deep? Is firing over Zoom more humane than making an employee come into the
office to lose their job? How much severance pay is fair?
Some human-resources teams are building spreadsheets to track how many positions
peers cut and what they say to employees during the reductions. Laid-off
workers, meanwhile, are comparing severance agreements and pushing back if they
feel terms fall short, which has sometimes led to tense all-hands sessions.
"I'm not sure there's one recipe" for a layoff, said Katy George, a
senior partner and chief people officer at McKinsey & Co.
This is also among the first job downturns in the era of increasingly
empowered and vocal employees who are adept at using Slack and other tools to
amplify their criticisms. Companies say it is important to handle layoffs
carefully to protect employers' reputations and help maintain morale among those
who remain.
The era of hybrid work only complicates matters, executives say. Bosses once
insisted on delivering bad news face-to-face, a practice that changed in the
pandemic. Some executives are now debating whether it is easier for employees
to learn of a layoff on Zoom versus in-person, said Andy Challenger, senior
vice president at outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
"It almost seems cruel to ask someone to commute into the office just to let
them go," he said.
"Take accountability, recognize the problem, be more generous than you have to
be and as transparent as you can," Mr. Hoffman said. "That's the playbook."

The Latest Workplace Trend
'Quiet hiring' is the opposite of quiet quitting, and workers are furious about
it
Here's how it works: A company assesses its current workforce, mainly those who
have gradually begun taking on responsibilities beyond their job description
(which many quiet quitters already vehemently insist against). A thoughtful
manager then notices that these workers have effectively started working in
the position they wanted before being given the job-a sort of independent upskilling. If all goes according to plan, the manager will dole out a
requisite raise or promotion, thereby saving the worker a job search, the
company a hiring spree, and everyone time.
Like many viral workplace trends that have become popular in recent years,
quiet hiring is a new name for an old tactic.
Some companies have spent considerable time and resources upskilling
employees and giving them new avenues to put them to work,
Anthony Nyberg, a scholar at The Academy of Management and program director
of the human resources masters program at the University of South Carolina,
tells Fortune. "Neither of these concepts is new, but moving talent internally
to match [their new] talents to the optimal task does seem to be more
appreciated."

Establishing National Standards & Placing Liability on Operators
Once completed will it include all sectors -
including retail?
Biden Administration to Unveil New Cybersecurity Regulations For Private
Industry in Critical Infrastructure Sector
While acknowledging that voluntary approaches to cybersecurity compliance
have produced some important improvements, the Biden administration says those
improvements have been mostly incomplete and inadequate, particularly in the
face of mounting attacks from Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. As a result,
President Biden's Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) is in the
final phases of approving national requirements to strengthen cybersecurity for
critical infrastructure. Among other things, the strategy calls for
placing liability for attacks on operators who fail to
take "reasonable" steps to strengthen their computer systems.
Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
reported to have opposed previous attempts to mandate cyber standards,
has accepted the need to "harmonize" its member's
interests with regulatory policy. To that end, the new strategy
requires that plans need to be developed in consultation with industry experts
so they are less burdensome, more workable and address some the issues that
prevented a successful voluntary compliance program in the first place.
Make no mistake, further regulation is on the way.

Growing Concern Over Dangerous Deepfakes
Media, government seem clued into the danger of deepfakes. Is it too late?
For whatever reason, concern and even fright is building over deepfakes.
The concerns are real, it just is not clear why the last three weeks has seen
multiple news stories pop into the news stream.
&uuid=(email)) It is possible that people started getting more nervous after a
deepfake entertainment startup named Deep Voodoo
announced December 20 that it had received $20 million in venture capital.
On the same day that the investment was announced, The Atlantic, a long-form
journalism publisher noted for not caring if its sentences cannot be read by
adults who read at a seventh-grade level,
posted a story with the headline: We Haven't Seen the Worse of Fake News.
But its browser tab reads: It's Time to Worry.
The story is a primer on deepfake technology, how it has been used to date and,
of course, how it could reduce life on earth to radioactive broth. A not
dissimilar piece of analysis was
published last week by Global News, a Canadian publication.
News publisher and cable channel CNBC is
reporting on how China is readying "first of its kind" regulation to
control deepfakes domestically. The always-nervous authoritarians running
China are stepping up regulation of any digital information to make sure it does
not disturb Beijing's masters.
But they know one unvetted idea that gets out can overturn things, so they
are also readying a law managing how tech companies can use recommendation
algorithms. That would go a long way in preventing anything dangerous
from ever getting out in the wild.
And across the Taiwan Strait from China, Taiwanese legislators this week are
crafting content-controlling legislation, part of which addresses deepfakes.
People producing and disseminating deepfakes would face five years in jail -
seven if profit is the motive,
according to Taipei Times.
The Atlantic might be hyperventilating by saying it is time to worry, but a
consensus seems to be building behind "we haven't seen the worst of fake news."

The Future of AI Legislation
AI experts see legislation moving forward in 2023
Various legislators and policy experts have
recently shared their views on the imminent future of artificial intelligence
(AI) legislation.
 Regarding
biometrics, the Council of the EU tweaked the
remote biometric identification system definition in December 2022 by
clarifying that such systems can be used only in cases where it is "strictly
necessary for law enforcement purposes."
Caroli also adds that while the legislation
has now been approved by the Council of the European Union and should be
fully approved by the end of 2023, the law will only come into force two years
later.
AI regulations to be driven by ethics efforts
SalesChoice CEO
Cindy Gordon also recently contributed to the AI legislation dialogue,
saying that ethics will play a vital role in regulating AI applications,
not just in the EU but worldwide.
Writing in
Forbes, Gordon believes several new laws will pass in 2023,
tightening up citizen privacy and creating risk frameworks and audit
requirements for data bias, privacy and security risks.
The AI expert further explains that regulators must evolve an entire global
ecosystem to ensure that AI audits are effectively conducted and by whom.
Canada to review Bill C-27 this year
Meanwhile, in Canada, the AI legislation discussion revolves around Bill C-27,
aka the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA).
First
proposed in June 2022, the legislation fell under scrutiny in October when
legal expert Richard Stobbe dissected the act, highlighting its weaknesses in
terms of scope.

China Has Remote Access to User Data TikTok

It's actually stated in TikTok's Privacy Policy -
Your Company & Employee Data Going to China?
TikTok Chief Meets With Top EU Officials
Meetings come as Chinese-owned company faces
heightened scrutiny in U.S.
The meetings come as the EU prepares to enact some of the globe's toughest
rules
aimed at forcing companies to police content on their platforms. The
law, called the Digital Services Act, will by the middle of this year
require social-media companies with more than 45 million users in the EU-such as
TikTok-to maintain systems for removing content that European national
governments deem to be illegal.
TikTok also faces two existing investigations under the EU's privacy law. One
probe examines TikTok's handling of children's data. Another
investigation looks at TikTok's overseas data flows, and could
potentially lead to an order to suspend transfer of European user information
to China. TikTok's privacy policy says it grants entities in some
countries, including China, limited remote access to some of the user data it
collects.

Security & IT Becoming Tightly Entwined
The convergence of security and IT operations
The worlds of security and IT are becoming
entwined as security initiatives become a top priority for all lines of
business.
Whether they like it or not, security and IT operations are increasingly
finding they must collaborate in the development and implementation of their
organizations' data security and protection strategies. Specifically, they
need to work hand-in-hand to determine where their organization's critical data
assets are located, and then jointly implement a strategy that can prevent
cyberattacks from reaching these assets, identify attacks when they breach their defences, and remediate any damage caused by an attack. Integrations between IT
management and security platforms such as Security Orchestration, Automation and
Remediation (SOAR) are also helping with this.
One example of the intersection of security and IT is backup and recovery,
traditionally the purview of IT ops. This area has become a key part of an
organization's security posture and the "last-line-of-defence" against
ransomware and other cyberattacks. Data protection solutions not only enable IT
teams to quickly and comprehensively recover their critical data, but they also
significantly minimize the disruption caused by a ransomware breach or malicious
attack - a primary challenge security teams are focused on solving.
Mitigating ransomware and other cyberattacks is crucial. The Canadian
Centre for Cyber Security reports that Canada is one of the top countries
affected by ransomware. In the first half of 2021, more than half of Canadian
ransomware victims belonged to a critical infrastructure sector, such as health,
manufacturing or energy. Such attacks can disrupt services and organizations we
rely on.
The challenge of bringing IT and security together
Security and IT traditionally having different charters. Implementing a
successful data security strategy requires both teams to define clear roles
and responsibilities, break down organizational silos, and ensure design
collaboration between data owners, IT and security.
This can be a challenge in hybrid cloud and shadow IT environments in
particular. The absence of documented playbooks and runbooks significantly
inhibits an organization's ability to mitigate and respond to attacks.

The Mounties make the candid admission in a briefing note prepared for Public
Safety Minister Marco Mendicino on the working relationship between the national
police force and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of
Canada, known as Fintrac.
The RCMP receives financial intelligence from Fintrac, which could shed light on
money laundering or terrorist financing, in two ways.
The RCMP briefing note says Fintrac's analysis is of "significant tactical
importance" to the force, as it may uncover previously unknown conspirators,
assets, transfers and relationships.
Overall, Fintrac's financial intelligence contributed to 335 major,
resource-intensive investigations in 2021-22 as well as hundreds of other
individual investigations at the municipal, provincial and federal levels, the
centre said.

In-Person Holiday Shopping Comes Back in
Canada
Consumer Spending In Canada Strong For Holiday Season: Mastercard Study
 According

Mastercard SpendingPulse, which measures in-store and online retail sales
across all forms of payment, Canadian retail sales, excluding automotive,
increased 3.8 per cent year over year (+15.6 per cent year over three years) in

YO3Y).
Canadian retail sales on Black Friday (November 25) were up 5.6 per cent

increase in spend at 7.5 per cent on Black Friday, indicating a
strong return to in-person shopping this holiday season.
The Canadian numbers for December aren't in yet but November was a good sign

Could Decriminalization of Opioids Go
Canada-Wide?
B.C. poised for drug decriminalization experiment, but will it help stem deadly
tide?
On Jan. 31, B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in the country to
start what will be a three-year experiment on decriminalization allowing drug
users aged 18 and over to carry a combined 2.5 grams of opioids like heroin and
fentanyl, as well as cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA, also known as
ecstasy. The federal government is currently reviewing an application by the
City of Toronto, but it does not include any thresholds.
"If we do succeed in helping people, I'm sure the rest of Canada could do the
same," he said, quickly adding that greater access to a regulated safer
supply of prescription drugs, like hydromorphone tablets or fentanyl patches, is
part of the answer to stemming the tide of the overdose crisis.

"Cyber Threat Supply Chain" - Organized Retail Crime Online?
Scamming Consumers & Stealing Retail Sales &
Damaging Brand Reputations
With Many Retailers Offering Online Sales, Phony Sites Blend In
Preying on shoppers strapped for cash and
time, scammers are setting up fake sites that claim to have deep discounts on
premium brands.
"It's been a total game of whack-a-mole," said Dave Heath, the chief
executive of Bombas, which has taken a proactive approach to rooting out fake
sites that purport to sell its products. "The second that we report a site
and it gets blocked on one of the social media channels or blacklisted, they
just spin up another instance and then there's ads running almost kind of
instantly."
Online scams, which have existed for as long as things have been sold on the
internet, are adapting to the budget-conscious behaviors of American consumers.
That dynamic has created a ripe environment for fake sites to dupe unassuming
shoppers who are strapped for cash and time by claiming to offer deep discounts
on premium brands.
"It's playing on the emotion of the consumer," said Douglas LaGore, a principal
in KPMG's cybersecurity services division.
Many of these fake sites are run by networks of swindlers seeking to target
large organizations. Over the past couple of years, many of these
networks have produced a "cyber threat supply chain,"
he said, meaning different groups gain specialized skills. One group in
the network might identify potential targets, for instance, while another
creates the deceptive material.

Online Sales & Returns Up This Holiday Season
Salesforce: Online holiday spending rises 5%; returns up 63%
Soft November online sales were offset by Cyber Week discounting and buy
online, pick up in store (BOPIS) offerings, according to new Salesforce data.
Consumers spent a total of $1.14 trillion online globally and $270 billion in
the U.S. across the 2022 holiday season (Nov. 1 - Dec. 31), according to an
analysis of November and December shopping data from over 1.5 billion shoppers
on retail sites using Salesforce Customer 360 (including 24 of the top 30 U.S.
online retailers). Those figures represent
flat performance from $1.14 trillion in global online holiday sales during
2021, but 5% growth in the U.S. from $257 billion.
After Salesforce initially tracked soft online holiday sales during the first
few weeks of
November 2022, the company observed retailers increasing discounts during
Cyber Week and into December. In the end, shoppers saw better deals than the
2021 holiday season, with a 21% average discount compared to 19% the year prior.
Salesforce previously predicted that 1.4 billion orders purchased during the
2022 holiday season would be returned. Data shows that 1.39 billion holiday
orders, or 13% of the total, were returned, marking a 63% increase in returns
year-over-year. Returns especially rose in the six days after Christmas
(Dec. 26-30), with 16% of orders returned during that week - a 5% increase from
2021.

The difference between success and failure is in the planning and the execution.
Taking something from a thought or idea to a reality can be a long and painful
process lined with failures and detractors. But a great idea is only as good as
the plan you have to bring it to life and the execution everyone delivers to
give it a life. Because without the two the great idea never existed. As one "C"
level executive once told me- He never saw a bad great idea as it was always the
failed plan to roll it out and the poor execution that killed it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
