Protection, Southeastern Grocers

The demand for seamless shopping, the technology that delivers it, and the
physical changes it creates in stores is forcing retailers to completely rethink
and reinvent Loss Prevention controls, policies and practices - and possibly
even redefine what acceptable levels of shrink are. Dan Faketty and Mike Lamb
discuss the LP implications of new POS technologies and customer experiences -
from scan-and go and mobile pay to self-checkout kiosks, tablet-based solutions,
BOPIS and more.

experience in combat settings, high-pressure training and overcoming cultural
barriers provided incredible insight to the attendees.
John Diederich oversaw creating and maintaining his hospital's active shooter
protocol. Immediately after dealing with the roll out to his staff, he finds
himself on October 1, 2017 in Las Vegas at a country concert. John takes us

freezing to running, being crushed, scared, and his family; John takes you
through his thoughts, regrets, training kicking in, and witnessing others
reactions to the shooting. A very moving experience and passionate presentation

CONTROLTEK Offers New Low-Profile AM EAS System
CONTROLTEK,
an emerging leader in retail asset protection, launched a door frame-mounted AM
EAS system named
SAM-D, offering a lower profile option for retailers.
"The SAM-D system is a great choice for retailers who want the power of a
high-end AM system with a more inconspicuous aesthetic for their space," said
Tom Meehan, chief strategy officer at CONTROLTEK. "Because of its smaller size,
this door system increases available floor space, compared to a typical AM
pedestal system."
"Expanding our solutions offerings to include more AM system options is the
natural progression of our growth," said Steve Sell, vice president of global
sales and marketing at CONTROLTEK. "Whether it's AM, RF or RFID, CONTROLTEK has
proven

Stop Making "Egregious & Unfounded" Claims About CBD Products
The Food and Drug Administration has sent warning letters to companies it says
are making "egregious and unfounded" claims about the benefits of products made

$245 Million Securities and Accounting Fraud Scheme
The former chief financial officer (CFO) of Roadrunner Transportation Systems
Inc. (Roadrunner), a publicly traded transportation and trucking company
formerly headquartered in Cudahy, Wisconsin, was charged in a superseding

Amazon moving thousands of employees out of Seattle,
relocating key division to nearby city
Amazon plans to relocate its entire Seattle-based worldwide operations team to
Bellevue, Wash., by 2023, adding thousands of employees to its new campus
just across Lake Washington, according to an internal email obtained by GeekWire.
Moving a large and critical team away from Amazon's Seattle headquarters is a
significant relocation of employees on its own, but it's also a weighty symbolic
gesture - the clearest sign yet that the tech giant is cooling on its hometown
while doubling down on a neighboring city.

Target raises its minimum wage to $13 an hour, with goal of $15 by end of 2020
Target said Thursday it is increasing its minimum hourly wage by a dollar to $13
in June for all current and new employees as part of its goal to hit $15 an hour
by the end of 2020. It is the latest step in a series of annual increases it has
made since it announced in September 2017 a plan to raise its minimum starting
hourly pay from $10 to $15 over three years.
Target's rate is higher than rival Walmart's $11 an hour minimum, set in January
2018, but is still below Amazon, which raised its hourly minimum to $15 an hour
in November.

"However, there is no way to close the U.S-Mexico border without inflicting

A woman bought out a Payless store to help Nebraska flooding victims
A woman walked out of Payless with hundreds of new shoes, but none of them are
for her. Addy Tritt saw that all pairs of shoes were on sale for $1 at her local
Payless in Hays, Kansas, last week, and something told her to go.
The retail value of the shoes was around $6,000, Tritt said. She said she
negotiated for 2.5 hours until she could get all of the shoes in the store --
204 pairs -- for pennies each, and only paid $100 for the bill. Tritt donated
all of the shoes to Nebraska flood victims.
The store needed to sell the shoes anyway. Payless announced in February that it
was closing all its stores across the United States and started liquidation
sales.

FaceFirst Announces Two-Minute
Face Recognition Deployment
Leading U.S. face
recognition company FaceFirst will showcase its new rapid deployment at
ISC West, enabling customers and partners to deploy an enterprise
platform in the same time it takes to brush your teeth.
LOS ANGELES -
FaceFirst, the leading U.S. face recognition
platform company, unveiled Two-Minute Deployment, which radically
reduces the time and effort needed to install an enterprise face
recognition platform. Two-Minute Deployment instantly identifies
networked cameras and automatically assigns cameras to servers,
delivering true plug-and-play functionality that enables partners and
customers to begin using face recognition immediately.
FaceFirst developed Two-Minute Deployment in response to increasing
demand for its products from a growing ecosystem of partners and
customers. Face recognition requests have become mainstream for system
integration companies and service consultants, and frequently top the
list of technologies explored by retailers.
"Two-Minute Deployment is an amazing breakthrough for the industry," said
FaceFirst CEO Peter Trepp. "We live in a world surrounded by cameras that can
help us prevent crime, create great customer experiences and frictionless
commerce, but harnessing the power of those cameras has been time-intensive
until now. FaceFirst makes doing so ridiculously easy."
The new capability also comes with automated system health monitoring,
offering visibility into server performance, memory, camera stream
integrity and more. Because face recognition has become a
business-critical application, health monitoring is increasingly
essential, especially for large deployments such as airports, stadiums
and retail chains.
"Two-Minute Deployment will help us keep up with the demand for this
transformative technology," said Trepp, whose company works across industries,
including Fortune 500 retailers, airports and sports teams. "This goes beyond
just installation. Camera tuning and other variables are pre-configured, saving
service teams hours of setup work."
The company will showcase Two-Minute Deployment at ISC West in Las
Vegas. Two-Minute Deployment is currently available to select customers
in private beta, and will be rolled out to partners throughout Q2.

Senator Warren's New "Corporate Executive
Accountability Act"
Holding Execs Liable - 1 to 3 Yrs Prison Time for Data Breaches
Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill to hold executives liable for company data
breaches. A proposal from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) called the
Corporate Executive Accountability Act would hold liable executives at companies
making more than $1 billion for data breaches and other civil violations that
harm large portions of the American public. Executives could face fines and up
to one year of jail for a first violation affecting "health, safety, financial
or personal data" of 1% of the U.S. population or the population of a state.
Executives could receive up to three years of jail for additional offenses.

Report: FBI Fails to Promptly Notify Cybercrime
Victims
Inspect General Cites Numerous Errors in How FBI Makes Notifications
Failed to Notify One Company for
Nine Months
The FBI is largely failing to notify cybercrime victims of their rights in a
timely manner following a "cyber intrusion," a new report from the U.S. Justice
Department's
inspector general finds. At times, small errors, such as typographical
mistakes, can cause long delays in the notification process, according to the
report.
The report is critical of a system called Cyber Guardian, which the
bureau uses to track and disseminate cybercrime victim notices. The inspector
general says the system largely fails in making sure these notices are sent on
time, especially when the issue relates to national security concerns. A new
platform, dubbed CyNERGY, will replace it later this year, the report notes.
Not notifying victims of their rights in a timely manner is a violation of
attorney general guidelines and could cause additional problems as agents
investigate these types of crimes, according to the report. "Some victims
complained about the timeliness of the notifications and whether the information
provided by the FBI was adequate to remediate the threat to IT systems," the
report states.
In one case, the report says, agents did not notify a company about a cyber
incident until nine months later. By the time the FBI showed up to
investigate, the firm needed to hire a third party to retrieve the logs needed
for the investigation.

A.I. Experts Question Amazon's Facial-Recognition Technology
Letter Calls for Amazon to Stop Selling 'Rekognition'
Product to Law Enforcement
At least 25 prominent artificial-intelligence researchers, including experts at
Google, Facebook, Microsoft and a recent winner of the prestigious Turing Award,
have signed a letter calling on Amazon to stop selling its facial-recognition
technology to law enforcement agencies because it is biased against women and
people of color.
The letter, which was publicly released Wednesday, reflects growing concern in
academia and the tech industry that bias in facial-recognition technology is a
systemic problem. Some researchers - and even some companies - are arguing the
technology cannot be properly controlled without government regulation.
nytimes.com
U.S. creating new tech guidance agency to inform Congress
as facial recognition regulation looms
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is in the process of setting up
a Science and Technology Assessment and Analytics group to help law-makers
understand technology issues related to subjects such as artificial
intelligence, 5G networking, online privacy, and presumably biometrics, NextGov
reports.

Proposed Illinois legislation could be death knell for biometric lawsuits
Although the Illinois Supreme Court's recent decision in Rosenbach v. Six Flags
may have upped the ante for employers facing litigation under the Illinois
Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"), a recent bill introduced in the
Illinois Senate, SB2134, would remove plaintiffs' right to bring private causes
of action under BIPA and instead allow them to file a complaint with the
Illinois Department of Labor ("IDOL"), and to be enforced by the DOL and the
Illinois Attorney General.
If this proposed bill ultimately becomes signed legislation, it would be the
death knell for private party BIPA class actions. As ten or more BIPA class
actions are being filed in Illinois state and federal courts on a daily basis,
employers should closely follow developments involving this proposed
legislation while concurrently pursuing BIPA compliance activities.

Cards On File Cut eCommerce Friction
Storing a card on file is an
integral part of the shopping experience for many consumers, as eCommerce
continues to explode across the retail landscape. Late last month,
SentiLink, which uses
technology to detect and prevent synthetic fraud,
raised $14 million in a Series A round earmarked for a number of
initiatives. Trust continues to be a key
reason consumers choose one bank over another, and the subscription box
market in the U.K. is
projected to soon have a billion-dollar value.
Data:
● 80.6 percent: Share of credit union customers in a recent survey who
identified trust as a reason to remain with their institutions.
● 44 percent: Share of consumers who have cards on file with three to
five merchants.
● 37 percent: Share of consumers who are very or extremely interested in
card-on-file (CoF) security solutions.
● $14 million: Amount in Series A funding SentiLink said it had garnered
as of last month.
● £1b: Projected value of the U.K. subscription box market by 2022.

Why Your Fraud Attack Rate Really Matters
Successful fraud attacks are one of the clearest indicators to fraudsters
which businesses are the most vulnerable and easiest for them to commit fraud.
If you are an "easy target," that generally means that fraudsters have found
they can at least get in and begin to transact. With the fraud prevention tools
you have in place, you will catch some of the fraud but not all. So, if
you have a high attack rate, fraud losses can be nearly 56% higher than a
business with a low attack rate. What's more, businesses with a high
attack rate generally have much higher operational expenses - like fraud
investigator headcounts - because they are "busy" trying to catch fraud from
attempts already in their system.
It's time to rethink the impact that the fraud attack rate has on a
business. Here are three things to consider.
1. Make it hard for fraudsters to get in
2. Look beyond your own walls
3. Equip your business with the fraud prevention strategies that are the
right fit

eBay plans to shutter eBay Commerce Network
A little more than a month after eBay Inc. announced plans to
restructure its business, the online marketplace announced that on May 1 it
will shutter eBay Commerce Network, its third-party advertising network that
enables merchants to advertise their products on non-eBay sites.
EBay Commerce Network evolved out of eBay's 2005
purchase of comparison-shopping engine Shopping.com. Eight years after the
deal, the online marketplace created an ad network around Shopping.com, which it
dubbed eBay Commerce Network. It then remade Shopping.com into a publisher that
was part of the eBay Commerce Network. Now that eBay plans to close down the ad
network, it will park the Shopping.com domain while it evaluates various
options, says Bridget Davies, the online marketplace's vice president of
advertising.

Update: Charlotte, NC: Man sold $3 million in
stolen merchandise out of storage unit through eBay
Pictures
of a multi-million dollar eBay store that sold stolen items out of a storage
unit were released by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police on Wednesday. Edwin Barkley,
63, pleaded guilty last month to transporting stolen property in the case. CMPD
said Barkley had co-conspirators who would steal tools from Lowe's, Home Depot,
and Target and sell them to him. Barkley would then turn around and resell the
items on eBay through "Tool King USA", according to authorities. "The
investigation revealed that between Aug. 2015 and Oct. 2018, the eBay store sold
$3 million in stolen merchandise," CMPD said. The investigation revealed more
than 19,000 items were listed and sold during the three years under the
microscope. Barkley kept the items in four self-storage units.

UK: Worcestershire, England: Jeweller slams
Magistrates for letting thief walk free after Smash and Grab
Richard Jones, 31, smashed the display window of the jewellers to snatch
valuables in the early hours of the morning, returning a few hours later for
more. Jones was caught after leaving blood at the scene when he cut his hand.
Police raided his home and found $5,250 worth of gold and jewellery but a court
heard goods worth around $13,000 were stolen. But despite admitting theft at
Worcester Magistrates' Court, Jones was spared jail - instead receiving a
suspended prison sentence and 180 hours of unpaid work. The sentence was branded
a "joke" but Russell Hinton, owner of the jeweller's, who said damage to the
shop window had cost him $1,300.

In college Philosophy 101, they introduce the question "If a tree falls in the
woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" My answer is yes,
but you've got to listen and hear it. Listening and hearing what they say is
oftentimes two entirely different functions that most of us don't do on a daily
basis, if ever. One of the keys to success is listening and hearing what people
say and don't say. It's not just the words, it's the meaning and the intention
behind what everyone says in every conversation or interview. Listening is the
key and hearing is the lock the key fits into. If you expect to lead a group or
land that perfect job, you've got to listen and hear what they're saying in
order to respond, influence and truly make a difference.
Just a Thought, Gus
