Indiana: Proposed bill would prohibit
firing/disciplining pharmacy workers
for defending themselves against physical harm during a robbery
Indiana is one of the states with the highest rates of robberies in pharmacies.
Democrat State Representative Justin Moed says he's proposing legislation to
help protect pharmacy employees. "If this body doesn't have the courage to help
ensure that our communities are safe from opioids, we should at least make sure
that the employees inside these pharmacies are able to protect themselves," Moed
said. The proposed bill would prohibit pharmacy workers from being fired or
disciplined for lawfully defending themselves against physical harm during a
robbery. It passed the House and is now being considered by the state
Senate. The Senator says criminals are taking advantage of pharmacy policies and
stealing opioids because they know employees will likely not fight back.

Crime Figure Swindles Mall Owners Across the
Nation - Owes $65M
Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill - Owned by Former Organized Crime Figure
The last of 20 Toby Keith's franchises owned by a former organized crime figure
and confessed murderer who foisted a real estate leasing scam on dozens of mall
developers across the country, closed abruptly last week. The
mobster-turned-Phoenix real estate mogul, identified as Frank Capri in a
three-part series published by the Arizona Republic, reportedly established the
chain that bore the country star's name under a licensing agreement.
 The
investigative report said Capri took advantage of commercial developers seeking
to secure high-profile anchors for new mall locations. In exchange for long-term
rental agreements, those developers routinely paid sizable sums, at times in the
millions, as tenant incentives - ostensibly for site improvements.
But authorities and ex-business associates across the country say Capri pocketed
the money, deliberately letting the restaurants fail while retaining the upfront
payments. His company, Boomtown Entertainment, faces 48 lawsuits and roughly
$65 million in court judgments in 31 different cities alleging fraud,
contractual breaches, unpaid rents and/or unpaid taxes.

Gucci slammed for sweater some say resembles blackface
Gucci has apologized and discontinued selling a sweater that social media users
said resembles blackface because of its design. In a Twitter post Wednesday, the
Italian luxury brand said it "deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the
wool balaclava jumper." The top, which is no longer on the company's website, is
a black turtleneck sweater that pulls up over the bottom half of the face with a
cut out and oversized red lips around the mouth. "We can confirm that the item
has been immediately removed from our online store and all physical stores,"
Gucci said in a statement on Wed.

2019 The Year The Mushroom Cloud Fell Back to
Earth
The Ending of the Apocalypse - Or At Least - The Retailers Caught in The Wake
This will be the ending of what everyone was labeling the Apocalypse, most
likely. With the lower end and older Malls of America starting to make that huge
turn over into fulfillment centers, which is just beginning.
But already with holiday numbers in and the results final there's a whole group
of Mall based retailers waving the flag and they'll be more as the year
progresses. Mostly those that everyone is already aware of and then a few new
ones thrown in. Then hopefully we'll be back to the normal ebb and flow of
winners and losers.
The Omni channel phrase probably needs to die with it. Because there's only one

Guardian Alarm Provides Video Surveillance for Visual Verification to
Project Green Light Businesses
Guardian Alarm is the longest standing official security monitoring
vendor for Project Green Light with over 88 years of security knowledge
SOUTHFIELD,
MI -
Guardian Alarm, a Detroit-based security
services provider, and one of the nation's largest independently-owned
security companies, is pleased to announce it has been listed as an
approved vendor for
Project Green Light Detroit. The safety initiative,
a first of its kind, is a public-private-community partnership led by
the Detroit Police Department (DPD) and combines community policing with
visual verification capabilities using video surveillance equipment
provided by vendors like Guardian Alarm.
Guardian Alarm supports Project Green Light by providing the required
high-definition (1080p) indoor and outdoor security cameras that
transfer live surveillance footage from local businesses directly to the
Detroit Police Department. This real-time safety monitoring has been
used to improve neighborhood safety, promote revitalization and local
business growth, and strengthen DPD's efforts to deter, identify, and
solve crime across the Detroit area.
"Guardian Alarm has been providing peace of mind through professional
monitoring of homes and businesses here in Detroit for the past eight
decades," says Tom Erhardt, President and COO, Guardian Alarm. "We are honored
to partner with DPD and the City of Detroit on this innovative partnership that
directly aligns with our culture to improve the lives of our customers and the
safety of ouru community. We couldn't be prouder to provide affordable video
surveillance options that can make Project Green Light a reality for more of the
Detroit business community."
 DPD
debuted Project Green Light with eight initial businesses in 2016. Since
then, the program has grown to include more than 400 businesses and has
already shown results in the area of improving commnity safety.
According to the Project Green Light website, violent crime incidents
have been reduced by 23 percent year-to-date across all participating
sites. Among the original eight participating sites, incidents of
violent crime have dropped by 48 percent in 2018, as compared to the
number of incidents that occurred in 2015 prior to joining Project Green
Light.
"It was our relentless commitment to our community that led us to
support Project Green Light and help grow the number of participating
businesses," says Jason Tague, Director of Business Development and Strategic
Accounts at Guardian Alarm. "We are an established security brand with around
6,000 commercial customers in the City of Detroit. We've been connecting our
existing Guardian Alarm customers with the initiative to improve safety across
the community and help Project Green Light achieve its goal of 500 participating
businesses."

Hackers Focused on Critical Data More Than Ever
Fewer Breaches in 2018, But Sensitive Data Exposed - Up 126%
Business Sector Leads in Breaches
In 2018, the
Identity Theft Resource Center, a
nonprofit organization that provides no-cost assistance to identity theft
victims to help resolve their cases, counted 1,244 U.S. breaches, down 23
percent from 2017, according to a new
report, sponsored by CyberScout. The report provides a deep dive into last
year's U.S. data breach disclosures (see:
US Data Breaches Hit All-Time High).
But the ITRC's count doesn't include every U.S. data breach from last year.
Rather, it counts every data breach notification that an organization was
legally required to issue to state residents or authorities if it suspected that
people's personal information had been exposed.
All told, 8 percent of all organizations that issued a data breach notification
in 2018 said the incident resulted from the breach of a subcontractor or third
party.
For
the whole of 2018, ITRC counted
446.5 million exposed sensitive records, which was an increase of 126
percent from 2017. Sensitive records may include
Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical diagnoses, payment card
information and other types of data that trigger states' mandatory data breach
notification requirements.
"The increased exposure of sensitive consumer data is serious," says Eva
Velasquez, the ITRC's president and CEO. "Never has there been more information
out there putting consumers in harm's way."
 Organizations also exposed 1.68 billion records of what ITRC classifies as being
of a non-sensitive nature, including email addresses, usernames and passwords.
Arguably,
breaches have gotten so bad that it's not clear if any new breach is
putting individuals at any greater risk, given
the amount of personal data that's already being bought and sold on cybercrime
forums.
"Every American person should assume all of their data is out there,"
Elvis Chan, a supervisory special agent with the FBI who specializes in
investigating cybercrime, told the Wall Street Journal late last year (see:
Congratulations: You Get 'Free' Identity Theft Monitoring).
Marriott Leads the Pack
Last year, in terms of the industries that suffered the greatest number of
breaches, the
business sector led by a clear margin,
followed by healthcare, financial services, government/military and education,
according to the report. Looking at the quantity of sensitive records that were
exposed, the business sector was worst, followed by healthcare.
Warning: Actual Numbers Are Worse
The ITRC warns that "the actual total number of exposed records likely exceeds
the reported number substantially," because its report is only
based on what organizations have disclosed.

Regulators Apply More
Pressure on Companies to Report Security Problems Fast
Companies should pay attention to an investigation by New York regulators into
how
Apple Inc. handled the discovery of a bug
in its FaceTime app that allows users to spy on each other. Regulators are
taking more interest in why some companies reveal cybersecurity problems quickly
and others seem to wait.
That notification period, and the time it takes a company to repair a problem,
must be explainable and reasonable and because the U.S. lacks a uniform federal
law that defines terms, states are beginning to step in and ask questions -- and
all 50 states have different rules.

Ransomware Victims Who Pay Cough Up $6,733 (on
Average)
Ransomware victims who opt to pay their attackers for the promise of a
decryption key forked over, on average, $6,733 during the fourth quarter of
2018, up 13 percent from the previous quarter, says ransomware incident response
firm Coveware.
The increase in the average ransom demand may trace to attackers more often
targeting specific firms - via social engineering attacks and
remote desktop protocol access - from which they demand higher ransoms, the
company says in a research report.

1 Billion Fraudulent Card-Not-Present
Transactions
99% Stopped - Worth $500 Million
Using machine learning technology online user verification platform NuData
analyzed events in real time during the December 2018 online shopping season.
Fraudulent card-not-present transactions include e-commerce payments and
payments made through smart devices in stores. NuData flagged 52% of login
traffic - 50% from desktops and 35% from mobile devices - as fraudulent by
monitoring website traffic changes, analyzing sudden changes in browser type,
surfing speed and time on page, and stopping them as high‐risk deviations. By
accurately flagging these events as fraudulent, NuData advises retailers could
stop access or monitor them closely to prevent fraud.
Insights from NuData also indicate that fraudsters laid the groundwork months
before the holiday season. NuData identified and flagged 37% of the new customer
accounts created in October 2018 as high risk. This number spiked from the
yearly average of 14%.
In addition, botnet attacks were up 224% in September 2018. NuData also noted
that abnormal behavior across logins, IP addresses or purchase behavior was up
47% in September.

Guam: Kmart Loss Prevention employees allegedly
used cards to get over $100K
A man and woman who worked as Kmart's loss prevention employees used prepaid
credit cards to fraudulently get over $100,000 in cash back, according to a
magistrate's complaint filed Thursday in the Superior Court of Guam. Parent
company Sears Holdings conducted an internal investigation into the Guam Kmart
and found Candelaria Blas and Gerard Pangelinan used several prepaid MyVanilla
credit cards to take money from the company.
 A
Sears employee told police that people would use the MyVanilla card to buy
something of lower value and get cash back. The card was only charged 50 cents,
but the person would get back $50, documents state. The store wouldn't get any
reimbursement, the charging documents state. Blas had three cards linked to her
in which about 865 transactions were logged and a total $77,100 was given in
cash back. This occurred between May 2018 and August 2018. Pangelinan had four
cards linked to him with 811 transactions logged between July and August 2018.
Over $40,000 was given in cash back on those cards. The Sears employee stated
that Blas told him that loading $50 on the card could get up to $2,000 back and
the card could be used over and over.

Cook County, IL: Police release video 3 months
after Jemel Roberson's death
Security Guard caught a shooting suspect - only to be shot by police minutes
later
 In
the early hours of November 11, 2018, 26-year-old Jemel Roberson was working
security at a bar in the Chicago suburbs when a shooting broke out. Shortly
after Roberson subdued the suspect at gunpoint, police arrived - and fatally
shot the black, armed security guard as he pinned the suspect to the ground.
Now, nearly three months after Roberson's death, a series of videos released
this week by the Cook County Sheriff's Office show the chaotic scene that
unfolded as bystanders reacted to Roberson's shooting. The videos were recorded
by police body cameras and bystanders' cellphones. In one, a security guard who
worked with Roberson tells police that Ian Covey, the white officer who opened
fire, did so despite being told that Roberson was security. Other witnesses can
be heard crying and yelling in the background.

Going beyond your job description and taking responsibility for things outside
your scope broadens your "runway" and quite frankly we hear that term all the
time when it comes to defining an executive's future. It's not the job that's
defining you, it's your own perceptions of what you can do that determines how
far you go. Opening your mind and embracing what you don't know will allow you
to change your own perceptions and thus lengthen your runway. And in today's
environment where we've all been stretched, you've got to be focused on the
value you're adding to the company you're working for. If you can focus there
and be able to specifically list the value you're adding, odds are, regardless
of what happens to the company you're working for, you'll do great!
Just a Thought,
Gus
