Brooklyn, NY: Stop & Shop shoplifter dead after
being apprehended by security
 A
51-year-old man died after an altercation with Stop & Shop staff Saturday
morning, according to police. Police are investigating the death, which occurred
after the man was accused of shoplifting at the Flatbush Avenue store. The man,
who NYPD later identified as Ralph Nimmons, became irate after employees stopped
him to question him about allegedly shoplifting around 7:30 a.m. There was a
brief altercation, during which Nimmons was "subdued" and collapsed, according
to the NYPD.
Police didn't have information about how he was restrained, but
witnesses said
he was telling store employees to let him go and complained that he couldn't
breathe as they held him down, according to reports. When emergency responders
arrived on the scene around 7:49 a.m., he was in cardiac arrest and was taken to
the hospital in critical condition, according to the FDNY. He was later
pronounced dead at the hospital, the city's medical examiner will determine his
cause of death.
On Sunday, Stop and Shop issued a statement on the incident: "We are saddened by
the death that occurred at our Flatbush Avenue store on Saturday morning. Our
deepest sympathies go out to the family. We continue to cooperate with law
enforcement officials to ensure that the facts pertaining to this incident are
fully and accurately determined."

Starbucks the latest
retailer accused of racial profiling
The store is different, but the complaints have a familiar ring: black shoppers
recount instances where managers call security - or the police - in situations
white shoppers say they rarely face.
 On Sunday, demonstrators gathered outside a Starbucks in Philadelphia to protest
the store management's decision to call the police on two black men after a
video of the arrest went viral, sparking a lengthy apology from the Starbucks'
CEO, who offered to meet with community leaders.
The company "stands firmly against discrimination or racial profiling," he said
in the
statement, in which he acknowledged that the company's training and
policies led to a "bad outcome."
The apology came amid a growing firestorm, including calls for a boycott, after
police at a Starbucks in the Center City district of downtown Philadelphia
handcuffed and arrested the men after store employees said they were
trespassing. The men, according to police, had asked to use the restroom. But
employees, citing store policy that only paying customers can use the restrooms,
refused. They sat back down to wait and wouldn't leave when asked by employees
to do so, police said.
A
video posted on Twitter shows police talking to the men, who were sitting in
the Starbucks, the arrival of a white man who was meeting them there, and their
being handcuffed and led out of the store.

Starbucks CEO to meet with black men arrested at Philly store
The two black men arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks last week have agreed to
meet with Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson. The timing of the meeting has not been
set, according to a Starbucks spokesperson. The company said it hopes the
meeting will occur this week while Johnson is in Philadelphia addressing the
controversy over their arrests.
In an interview Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Johnson said he hoped to
meet with the two men in person to apologize face to face. He called the arrests
"reprehensible" and promised to take action so that it doesn't happen again.

Rent-A-Center Manager Alleges Discrimination Following Armed Robbery Assault
The Fourth Circuit on Friday affirmed a lower court ruling that Rent-A-Center
Inc. could not force a former employee to arbitrate his claims of race and
disability discrimination, agreeing that more evidence was needed to determine
whether arbitration agreements covered his claims.
Paul A. Kabba, a manager at Rent-A-Center, sued his former employer in January
2017, alleging that he faced discrimination after being assaulted during an
armed robbery while on the job. Kabba, who is originally from Sierra Leone, took
extensive medical leave and then reapplied for a Rent-A-Center job in 2012. He
did not get that position, but was subsequently re-hired as a lead assistant
manager in 2013. Kabba claims that upon returning to work, he was fired that
same day after he was unable to perform a task due to his injuries, according to
court documents.

80,000 more retail stores could close by 2025
Tens of thousands of retail stores might have to close over the next few years
to keep up with the pace of shoppers shifting from brick-and-mortar retailers to
online, according to a new report from UBS.
 UBS analysts examined the supply of brick-and-mortar retail locations that would
be necessary to align with the demand to shop in those physical locations. What
they found paints a bleak picture for the future for retail stores.
"We [estimate] for each 100 bps increase in [e-commerce] penetration (currently
16%), an additional [9,000] stores would need to close," the UBS analysts write.
"To put this in perspective, it would be the equivalent of 7 Toys 'R' US
chains."
What's more, UBS estimates that anywhere from 30,000 to 80,000 stores would need
to close to maintain low-single digit sales/store growth should the e-commerce
penetration reach 25% of retails sales by 2025. The 80,000 figure assumes that
there's 2% total retail sales growth, while the 30,000 figure assumes there's 3%
sales growth.

March retail sales increased 5 percent over last year
March retail sales increased 0.3 percent seasonally adjusted over February and 5
percent year-over-year as the economy continued to grow, the National Retail
Federation said today. The numbers exclude automobiles, gasoline stations and
restaurants.
"This is a healthy spending report despite market volatility, unseasonable
weather and uncertain economic policies," NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz
said. "Consumers continue to show resiliency in spending, and these numbers
reflect how the economy is performing with a strong job market, gains in wages,
improvements in confidence, rising home value and judicious use of credit. The
biggest risk to spending is in market fluctuations that could affect confidence,
but we expect these basic improvements in economic fundamentals to continue."

In a Leaked Memo, Apple Warns Employees to Stop Leaking Information
Company found 29 leakers last year - 12 arrested
Apple Inc. warned employees to stop leaking internal information on future plans
and raised the specter of potential legal action and criminal charges, one of
the most-aggressive moves by the world's largest technology company to control
information about its activities.
The Cupertino, California-based company said in a lengthy memo posted to its
internal blog that it "caught 29 leakers," last year and noted that 12 of those
were arrested. "These people not only lose their jobs, they can face extreme
difficulty finding employment elsewhere," Apple added. The company declined to
comment on Friday.

Rate for Employee Hotline Reports on the Rise
A new NAVEX study, the 2018 Ethics & Compliance Hotline and Incident Management
Benchmark Report, shows an increase in the substantiation rate of reports
related to HR, Diversity and Workplace Respect in 2017.
According to NAVEX, the upward trend in substantiation of HR-related cases
should be of particular interest to compliance and HR professionals. There has
long been tension in organizations around whether compliance hotlines should
accept HR-related cases.
NAVEX Global's research also found a slight uptick in the rate of
harassment-related reports made in the fourth quarter, which coincided with
the rise of the #MeToo movement in late 2017.

Time is Money
Business Travelers Identify Top Challenges They Face on the Road
Time spent in transit is the most challenging aspect of business travel,
according to a report by the GBTA Foundation - the education and research arm of
the Global Business Travel Association. Layovers, changing a flight or train
reservation mid-trip, the work environment while traveling and preparing expense
reports also topped the list of most challenging aspects for North American
business travelers.
The study, Creating a Frictionless Travel Experience - North America, conducted
in partnership with Sabre Corporation, identifies the main challenges business
travelers face during their travel experience while also looking to understand
what organizations are doing to make this experience a better one for their
travelers. The top pain points all have one thing in common - they are time
consuming. Given that 72 percent of business travelers are middle management
or higher, it is not surprising that they are concerned about losing time or
having an adequate work environment.
Why Does the Business Travel Experience Matter?
Business travel can have a considerable impact on employee satisfaction and
retention as more than three-quarters (79 percent) of business travelers say
their business travel experience impacts their overall job satisfaction at least
somewhat. This is especially true among Millennials (88 percent). Business
travel not only influences how employees feel about their current company, it
can also influence whether they take a job in the first place. Nearly three in
five (59 percent) indicate a company's travel policy is an important factor when
considering a potential new employer. Additionally, the vast majority of
travelers (84 percent) say the quality of their business travel experience
impacts their business results at least somewhat.

CEO Pay Averaged Nearly $16 Million Last Year
How Retail Leaders Stacked Up
Chief executives are getting paid more money than in previous years, according
to a new report by executive data firm Equilar. The company, which tracks
executive compensation in its Equilar 100 study, identified CEO pay at 100 of
the largest U.S. companies that filed proxy statements before March 31 and
determined that total average compensation for industry leaders reached $15.7
million in 2017. Although pay increases dipped slightly compared with 2016,
overall salaries were still higher last year, with the numbers outperforming the
median $15 million they received the prior year. On average, CEOs took home a 5
percent raise.
A majority of the companies represented the tech and financial sectors and
retail saw only two executives make the cut: Nike's Mark Parker, who earned
$13.9 million last year, and Kevin Mansell of Kohl's, who brought in
$11.3 million, an increase of 35 percent from his previous paycheck, the report
found.

Protect High-Theft Products without Decreasing Sales
When combating shrink, it's important for retailers to pursue common-sense
solutions in their stores. Many loss prevention products in the market today
keep merchandise under lock and key (closed system), which can decrease sales by
as much as 38 percent. Also, many loss prevention products are limited in
functionality. This is where Southern Imperial's patented SONR System comes into
play.
The
SONR System, an Intelligent Loss Prevention solution, uses an open system
design to draw associate attention to activity while allowing shoppers to remove
and replace product without assistance from store personnel. Moreover, the SONR
System is a multi-tiered security solution that allows retailers to control the
level of security for individual products and situations.
Its basic level of security starts with the SONR Hook and Echo Box. Merchandise
removed from the hook, by raising the attached label holder, triggers the
initial response. Once raised, a warning beep is emitted to alert store
personnel that there is activity in the area. The Echo Box, which is installed
up to fifteen to twenty feet away, will mimic all warning beeps on the floor to
alert store associates to the activity. For the second tier of security, the
Echo Box can also be set to alarm if the SONR Hook is lifted for too long or
cycled too often in a short time span. Finally, for retailers requiring an
additional tier of security, the SONR System can link into existing security and
communication systems to suit store needs.
Placing merchandise behind lock and key can have as dramatic of an impact on
sales as product theft. The SONR System provides retailers with a viable
solution for displaying valuable items without losing them to shrink. It keeps
product visible, accessible, and most importantly, shoppable.
To see how it works, check out the video:
For more information on the SONR system and how it works,

Imperial at 1.800.747.4665.

Russian Must Pay $302M In International Data Hacking Case
7-Eleven, JCPenney, Hannaford Brothers retail networks affected
A Russian national was ordered Thursday to pay $302 million in restitution to
five corporate victims after he copped to his role in what officials have dubbed
one of the world's largest data breaches that targeted Nasdaq, Dow Jones Inc.
and a slew of other companies, according to documents filed in New Jersey
federal court.
U.S. District Court Judge Jerome B. Simandle said Dmitriy Smilianets, 34, of
Moscow must turn over $200 million to payment processor Heartland Payment
Systems Inc. and $92 million to electronic transaction processor Global Payment
for helping to sell financial data collected in a global hacking scheme. The
remaining $10 million is owed to Dexia Bank Belgium, Euronet and Diners Club
International.
Smilianets pled guilty in 2015 to conspiring to commit wire fraud in a manner
affecting a financial institution two years after a grand jury hit him and
others with an 11-count indictment. Prosecutors dismissed the remaining counts
after sentencing him in February to 51 months and 21 days in prison, or time
served.
He is one of five defendants and four co-conspirators accused of stealing more
than 160 million credit card numbers from 2005 to 2012 by hacking into corporate
networks and planting malware that allowed them future access, court documents
show. The hackers then sold the sensitive data they mined, causing hundreds of
millions of dollars in losses.
The networks affected included those belonging to 7-Eleven Inc., JCPenney Inc.,
supermarket chain Hannaford Brothers Co., JetBlue Airways, Visa Inc. and
Discover Financial Services Inc., according to a 2013 indictment.

Canadian retail loyalty program PC Optimum gets hit by points theft twice
Loblaws blames password glitch
Thieves continue to steal hundreds of thousands of PC Optimum rewards points,
and some members have had the misfortune of being hit twice. The reason? A
glitch in the program's system allowed a thief to stay in a member's online
account even after the initial theft was discovered and the password reset.
After being contacted by CBC News on Monday, PC Optimum's owner, Loblaws, said
it was fixing the password reset glitch, and reported on Friday that the problem
had been resolved. The retailer said only "a very small number" of its nine
million members had been negatively affected.
Since launching on Feb. 1, the PC Optimum rewards program has battled a handful
of technical issues, including strangers' accounts being combined together and
members' points disappearing into cyberspace.

7 Non-Financial Data Types to Secure
Here's a look at seven data types many companies have collected and hoarded with
abandon, and that need to protected just like financial data. If your
organization has terabytes of any of these data types sitting in a warehouse,
lake, or cluster, then it may be time to start the audit to see just how exposed
it - and your company - truly are:
Medical Information - Even if your company isn't bound by HIPPA,
health-based information must be considered exceptionally sensitive and must be
protected as such.
 Browser History - When an organization uses tracking cookies as part of
its Web application suite and stores the information as part of its customer
data, then that central store becomes extremely valuable - and vulnerable.
Survey Data - Once a company has data from a survey, whether the
immediate point of the survey is entertainment or political action, it should
treat that data as PII and take steps to protect it accordingly.
Comments - If your organization allows users to make comments, then it
should protect those users from having their comments scraped, stolen, and
combined with other information to help criminals bring them to harm.
Employment Details - When we protect employee data, we tend to focus on
those pieces that connect directly to a bank account or other financial factor.
But a company may have a legitimate need to keep all kinds of information that
can be used to target the employee for intimidation, blackmail, or harassment -
all things that can be enormously damaging to the individual and costly for the
company to remediate.
Passwords - When a password file is breached, the effects can ripple out
across scores of sites and services.
Synthesized Data - Though some professionals like to pretend that Big
Data stores are immune to theft because of their size and complexity, hacking
teams such as the Lazarus Group have shown that they are willing to get into a
network and slowly exfiltrate huge data stores over months or years.

The Account Takeover Kill Chain
Fraud and account takeover threats continue to be a significant challenge for
security and fraud teams. As security improvements are made at the point of
sale, including EMV chip adoption, increased online sales are driving
increases in fraud targeting online applications. With access to the
security data exhaust of delivering 15-30 percent of the world's web traffic,
Akamai has confirmed this pattern, observing increases in credential stuffing
and account takeover attacks. Because these complex attacks have a repeatable
series of steps taken by the attacker, however, there are opportunities for
fraud and security teams to disrupt these attacks at every phase.
Credential stuffing, a critical element in account takeover attacks, continues
to be observed taking place on a massive scale. In November 2017, Akamai
observed more than one trillion requests from bots-a figure that includes all
manner of automation, including "good" bots like search engine crawlers and
performance analytics tools. The company determined that more than one billion
requests from bots during that month were part of credential stuffing attacks
targeting retail, with nearly as many targeting the hospitality industry. This
is one of the highest volumes of attacks on the Internet.
 A
kill chain for account takeover would likely start in the same manner as the
majority of attacks-with reconnaissance. Attackers will map out endpoints that
provide access to login, including web forms, mobile API's used by native apps,
or other exposed API's. An attacker could leverage automation to help with this
task by spidering the site looking for login endpoints to help with manual
discovery processes. It is important that defenders also conduct recon of their
own assets to ensure that all entry points are enumerated and protected. In our
experience, organizations often believe they have protected all login entry
points, only for an attacker to find an overlooked API or Web entry point from a
less popular entry point.

Decatur, IL: 2 arrested after buying over $9,000
of Lowe's merchandise with stolen credit card information
A 33-year-old Chicago man and a 31-year-old Kansas City, Missouri, woman were
arrested at 2 p.m. Thursday after police said they purchased more than $9,000
worth of merchandise with stolen credit card information. A signed police
affidavit said Decatur police detectives pulled over a white box truck for
failing to use a traffic signal. The man was the truck's driver and provided a
false name due to an identity theft warrant from Will County. The affidavit said
detectives searched the truck's cargo area and found the following items: A $200
trimmer, Four Frigidaire refrigerators valued at $3,200, Two patio chairs valued
at $344, Two lawn mowers valued at $678, Three 50-gallon water heaters valued at
$1,548, A $1,199 Samsung refrigerator, A $279 washing machine base, A $900
washing machine.
The man and woman were interviewed by police separately and the man said he
purchased credit card information on the "dark web" for $100. He told police
that he is associated with a Chicago-based group and was ordered to drive the
appliances to Chicago and turn the truck over to an unknown person there. The
woman told police that she knew the credit card information was stolen, and that
she picked up the merchandise from a Lowe's Home Improvement store. The man said
that both he and the woman were earning $300 each to transport the merchandise
to Chicago, the affidavit said.

Sentencings & Charges
Re-Sentencing Ordered for Two Convicted of
7-Eleven Clerk's Killing
A state appeals court panel Friday upheld the convictions of two men for a
convenience store clerk's killing during an attempted robbery they committed
amid a series of hold-ups throughout the Los Angeles area, but reversed a
judge's sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for one of
the defendants. The three-justice panel from California's 2nd District Court of
Appeal found that there was "ample evidence" to support Bryant S. Moore's
first-degree murder conviction, but insufficient evidence to support the jury's
finding of the special circumstance allegation of murder during an attempted
robbery. Moore was convicted along with Rasheen Childs in the Dec. 22, 2013,
attempted robbery of Gonzalo Garcia, 31, at a 7-Eleven store in Highland Park.

At the end of the day, interviews are based on three basic questions or concerns
every executive has about every candidate. 1) How are you going to fit in our
culture? 2) Are you really a subject matter expert? and finally 3) What's your
plan and how are you going to approach our business and make the biggest impact?
And while certainly there's a number of subtopics and other questions about
leadership and conflict management, at the end of the day the senior management
team is focused on these top three. And while many candidates think they don't
have the information necessary to answer those questions in a first interview --
they're wrong because it's all about the preparation and the homework you do
before that first interview. And if you do it well you will be able to answer
all three.
Just a Thought,
Gus
