Ribbon Cutting Today @ New Police Substation Opening @ Buffalo's Mass Shooting Tops StoreBuffalo's Tops Friendly Markets gets police substation two years after mass shootingThe grocery store says the goal is to increase police visibility and outreach Nearly two years after a mass shooting at a Tops Friendly Markets in Buffalo, N.Y., that killed 10 people and wounded three, the grocery chain announced it is partnering with local police to install a police substation at a Tops store in nearby Niagara Falls. Tops explained that the substation would not be occupied by police at all times, and the store will still have its own security. “Tops was proud to be able to support local law enforcement and the city in their efforts to provide their officers a location in which they can complete paper or computer work, recharge equipment, and engage with community members,” said regional vice president for Tops, Jim Gibson, in a statement. supermarketnews.com
Will New York Pass & Fund Hochul's Retail Theft Package?Toughening retail theft penalties pits Hochul against fellow Democrats“I just don't believe raising penalties is ever a deterrent on crime,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said last month. He spoke for many in the Democratic-controlled Legislature, which has generally opposed Hochul’s prior attempts to toughen criminal penalties and roll back parts of the state’s 2019 bail reform laws.
Adams Wants to Return to the Good Old Days of Holding People AccountableNYC Mayor Adams stops short of calling for deportation of migrants who allegedly hurt cop during shoplifting arrest: ‘This is my position’Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday stopped short of calling for the deportation of two migrants accused of injuring an NYPD officer who was trying to arrest them for shoplifting from an Upper East Side Target. “If you are a repeat offender of a violent act in his city, after you serve your time, you need to leave this city. That is my position,” Adams said during his weekly press conference at City Hall when asked about the vicious April 2 attack. The tepid response stood in stark contrast to the position Hizzoner took less than two months ago — when he called on overhauling the city’s controversial sanctuary laws for migrants accused of serious offenses. Adams in February floated changing the current policy to allow local law enforcement to turn migrants over to federal immigration officials if they were “suspected” of a serious crime. I want to go back to the standards of the previous mayors who I believe subscribe to my belief that people who are suspected of committing serious crimes in this city should be held accountable,” Adams fumed to reporters in City Hall on Feb. 27. hey didn’t give due process to the person that they shot or punched or killed,” he added. nypost.com
‘Scared to death’: S.F. librarians call for security guards at every branchNearly 100 San Francisco Public Library workers and union supporters rallied Tuesday outside the Main Library on Larkin Street calling on city officials to place security guards at every branch in the system. The request is part of contract negotiations between the city and its library staff, who are represented by Service Employees International Union Local 1021. The library budgeted $8.7 million this fiscal year for safety and security, which includes security staff, support from the sheriff’s department at the main library, a contract with Urban Alchemy and the agency’s social worker program. sfchronical.com
Facial Recognition Technology Retail Milestone Day
UK Rolls Out Nationwide FRT Program to Combat Retail CrimeUK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Today Announced Major Investment in Facial Recognition As Part of Wider Crackdown on Retail CrimeTo the shoplifters and those abusing shopworkers, enough is enough,” says a release from the Home Office, which specifies that assaulting a retail worker is to be made a standalone criminal offense. The £55.5 million (US$69.5 million) to be spent on facial recognition technology over the next four years includes £4m for “bespoke mobile units that can be deployed to high streets across the country with live facial recognition used in crowded areas to identify people wanted by the police – including repeat shoplifters.” Matching real-time live footage with biometric databases and other watchlists, the system will send alerts to police if a banned individual is detected in a high street or retail area via facial recognition. “The number of offenders being charged for these crimes is increasing and while I want to see more people face consequences for their actions, our plan is designed to help put a stop to these crimes happening in the first place,” says Home Secretary James Cleverly, framing facial recognition as a preventative measure.Metropolitan Police say facial recognition is as important as DNADespite such critiques, the investment comes as no surprise, given law enforcement’s embrace of biometrics and facial recognition. In an interview with The Times this week, the Metropolitan Police’s director of intelligence, Lindsey Chiswick, calls facial recognition for law enforcement “transformational” and “the biggest development in policing since DNA or fingerprints.” Besides, the Met already uses a version of the roving facial recognition vehicles, which use live facial recognition cameras mounted on top to perform facial recognition scans and flag any matches against a database of wanted perpetrators. There is talk of the UK government making an official policy statement on its facial recognition strategy in the coming weeks, and the PM’s announcement makes that all the more plausible. The Times says it will contain “guardrails and safeguards” to assuage public concerns about surveillance and loss of privacy. Regulation key to public trust, widespread uptake of facial recognitionThe call for regulation is a big part of public pushback against biometric facial recognition. Answering the call, the Office of the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner, Dr. Brian Plastow, has published its Review of the Laws of Retention of Biometric Data in Scotland. The 37-page document includes key facts, reported numbers for different police force’s biometric databases (although the total number is unknown), definitions, an outline of the Commissioner’s role, and a lengthy assurance review. The quickest path to wide public acceptance is probably the slow and steady one, while those who jump the gun risk tripping over the many questions about facial recognition that remain in the public square. biometricupdate.com

Third-Party Test Leaks Employee DataHome Depot confirms worker data leak after miscreant dumps info onlineSaaS slip up leads to scumbags seeking sinecureHome Depot has confirmed that a third-party company accidentally exposed some of its employees' personal details after a criminal copy-pasted the data online. In a statement to The Register, Home Depot spokesperson Beth Marlowe said: "A third-party SaaS vendor inadvertently made public a small sample Home Depot associates' names, work email addresses and User IDs during testing of their systems." Marlowe declined to say how many employees were affected, name the third-party vendor, nor answer our additional questions about the data theft. To us, it appears someone saw that sample on the public internet, grabbed it a copy, and leaked some or all of it on the dark web. The retailer's disclosure comes after a crook who goes by the moniker IntelBroker shared the info on BreachForums. On Friday, they claimed to have made available a Home Depot database containing corporate information belonging to 10,000 employees from an attack this month. theregister.com
Third-Party's - The Weakest Link - Yet Requiring Vendor Assessments Hasn't Risen Since 2021Companies fall short on curbing cybersecurity risks from vendors: Moody’sCyberrisks are mounting, with artificial intelligence likely to increase the threat of attack in the short to medium term, Moody’s said. Most companies and organizations in the U.S. and Canada fall short on limiting cybersecurity risks from third-party vendors even as they give cybermanagers more clout and boost spending on averting attacks, Moody’s Investors Service said in a report. “Third-party vendor risk management sees little improvement” since 2021, Moody’s found in a survey of about 1,100 companies and government-affiliated organizations. “Apart from financial services and infrastructure issuers — and despite a series of supply-chain attacks — the share of organizations requiring new or periodic third-party vendor assessments has not risen since 2021.” At the same time, cybermanagers
wield more influence, with 90% reporting to a C-suite executive compared with
62% in 2021, Moody’s said. Companies have also boosted cybersecurity
budgets 65% during the past five years, funding 25% growth in cybersecurity
talent. Meanwhile, annual global ransomware payments exceeded $1 billion for the first time last year, Moody’s said, citing Chainanalysis, a cybersecurity firm. Rising premiums have not reduced demand for cybersecurity insurance, according to Moody’s. The share of survey respondents who said they carry specialized cybersecurity insurance policies rose to 87%, an increase of 21 percentage points from 2021, despite an average 55% increase in insurance premiums from 2020 until 2022, Moody’s said. cfodive.com
There was a 72% increase in cloud infrastructure incidents in 2023According to an Expel report, identity threats accounted for 64% of all investigated incidents and increased in volume by 144% from 2022. Of those incidents, 60% were unauthorized email logins and 40% were authentications to identity platforms, like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping and Duo. The report found that 35% of organizations experienced more than one incident (up from 24% in 2022). Organizations saw an average of eight identity-based incidents over the year, according to the report. The report found a 72% increase in cloud infrastructure incidents, roughly consistent with 2022. Exposed credentials (or secrets) were the leading root cause of cloud infrastructure incidents (42%), according to the report. Publicly exposed or stolen credentials allow attackers to maintain persistent access to the cloud environment with the permissions tied to that identity or role. The report found that while malware as a percentage of overall incidents decreased by 25% in 2023, the potential impact of both high-risk and latent-risk malware should not be discounted. Phishing incidents tripled from 2% in 2022 to 6% in 2023, according to the report. The percentage of authorized penetration tests and red teams investigated decreased 43%. securitymagazine.com

She’s been in and out of prison for stealing thousands of dollars worth of designer goods, but now the tougher laws in Florida have finally caught up to her. Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez says a theft caught on video a couple of years ago, may have sealed her fate. "She committed one of the most brazen thefts I’ve heard of. She went into a Sunglass Hut at International Plaza and had a soft-sided cooler, and she just scooped up about $20,000 in designer sunglasses. When the employee said, ‘What are you doing,’ she said, ‘I have a taser.’ And, as you know, a taser is a weapon," explained Lopez. Atmore was busted days later, and police found a lot of stolen goods in her car. Because she is a repeat offender, she’s now facing stiffer penalties and decades in prison. Prosecutors offered her a three-year deal, but she rejected it. A jury convicted her and she was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison.

New Orleans, LA: Security guard killed at a Mid-City bar was shot after denying a man entry.A security guard who was killed outside a Mid-City bar Sunday night was shot after denying a man entry, according to a spokesperson for the bar. The suspect is still at large. Darriel King, 53, was working the front door at Wit's Inn on North Carrollton Avenue when he was shot in the chest and killed after attempting to prevent another person from entering the bar. “You have to be over 30 to get into our establishment," the spokesperson said.

So, that security guard decided obviously not to let him in.” The shooting was reported just after 11 p.m., according to the New Orleans Police Department.
DOJ: Meriden Man Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison for Violent Robbery SpreeKENNETH MICHAEL STROTHERS, 27, of Meriden, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in New Haven to an effective sentence of 168 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for a violent armed robbery spree in 2021. this matter stems from an investigation by the FBI and several local police departments into a series of armed robberies that occurred across Connecticut in early 2021. The investigation revealed that Strothers committed at least 10 robberies over an approximately two-week period in Meriden, Cromwell, West Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield and New Britain. The robberies typically involved Strothers stealing a vehicle, selecting and entering stores, threatening victims with a firearm, making demands, and, in some instances, beating victims with the gun before robbing them, causing significant injury and trauma. justice.gov New York City, NY: Migrant repeat offenders viciously attack cops during bust for ransacking NYC TargetA crew of Venezuelan migrants with rap sheets allegedly pounced on New York’s Finest after getting caught red-handed stealing from an Upper East Side Target — and most of them are now back on the streets. Four of the five repeat offenders busted in the brazen April 2 crime — which sent one cop to the hospital — were released without bail by a Manhattan judge, according to court records and law-enforcement sources. The accused criminals were part of a crew of six that allegedly yanked $82 in items off displays in the store on Third Avenue near East 70th Street around 6:50 p.m. The thieves left a trail of destruction as they grabbed a backpack from a shelf, cut off its security tag and then moved “from aisle to aisle” stuffing it with goods — including a gaming light, tools and assorted grub such as Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Doritos, strawberries and bottled waters, according to sources and a criminal complaint. When responding cops from the NYPD’s 19th Precinct stopped the shoplifters in their tracks, two of the suspects — Yusneiby Machado, 23, and Brayan Freites, 21 — wrestled, shoved, slapped and pushed them in an attempt to resist, according to sources. The wild struggle left one officer with swelling, redness and pain on his left arm, cops said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and released. Another suspect — who has not been caught — tried to throw rocks at the officers, but they were not struck, sources said. Los Angeles, CA: Man, 12-year-old girl arrested in string of armed robberies across L.A.

At one point, one of the occupants threw a firearm out of the vehicle, police said, which was later recovered by officers. The pursuit eventually ended and both the driver and passenger were arrested. The man has been identified as Nathen Sanchez, an 18-year-old resident of Los Angeles. Because the girl is underage, her name has not been released. During their arrest, a large amount of cash that was stolen in the earlier robbery was recovered from inside the vehicle.
