Retailers Support White House Focus on Counterfeit Goods, Urge Similar Effort
on Stolen Merchandise and Organized Retail Crime
 The
Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), the trade association for America's
leading retailers, today sent a letter to the White House expressing support for
the President's commitment to curbing the sale of counterfeit products online,
and urged the White House to include combatting the sale of stolen goods as an
Administration priority.
"Counterfeit goods undermine intellectual property, pose a serious safety
risk for consumers and employees, and help perpetuate organized retail crime,"
said Jennifer Safavian, RILA executive vice president of government affairs.
"Similarly, sophisticated criminal networks are increasingly using online
platforms to quickly and discreetly fence stolen goods. For these reasons, we
welcome the Administration's crack down on the sale of counterfeit goods online
and urge a parallel effort to combat the theft and sale of stolen goods."
From the letter:
"Preserving American brands and protecting our customers are of paramount
importance to the entire retail industry, and we wholeheartedly support your
directive to coordinate the efforts of the federal government to crack down on
the sale of counterfeit and pirated goods."
"Retailers collectively invest billions each year in preventative security
measures, but the vacuum of law enforcement and relative ease of selling stolen
goods online has led to increasingly brazen and organized attempts to steal,
tragically putting some retail employees in danger when confronted thieves turn
violent.
"We ask that any strategic effort to hold online sellers accountable for the
sale of counterfeit goods also include a crackdown on criminal networks using
online marketplaces to sell stolen property. Both are a threat to the retail
community and the future growth of the economy."
The full letter can be read here.
eBay Renews Commitment to Education, Continues Support of LPF
  The Loss Prevention Foundation is excited to announce that eBay has once again
committed to supporting the LPF as a Bachelor level partner. Since 2014, eBay
has shown their commitment to the industry by partnering with the LPF to provide
scholarships to those LP/AP professionals wishing to pursue their LPQ & LPC
certification.
Terry Sullivan, LPC, president of the Loss Prevention Foundation stated,
"Educating our industry through the LPQualified and LPCertified courses is what
we are all about at the LPF. Without partners, like ebay, that would just not be
possible. We are so grateful that for six years ebay has seen the importance of
industry education and has continued to support the LPF."
eBay is committed to supporting the loss prevention industry and is proactive in
their approach. Through a dedicated team of LP professionals, eBay works with
retailers, law enforcement and other LP teams to help prevent the spread of
online e-fencing. Supporting the LPF is just another way that ebay is dedicating
itself to promoting the industry.

Police: Three shot, two fatally, in 'random'
shooting at Tanger Outlets in Sevierville
A man with a gun walked up to a Sevierville shopping center on Tuesday afternoon
and opened fire outside a Coach store, killing a woman and wounding a man before
turning the gun on himself in what police described as an apparently random
shooting.
Officers descended on Tanger Outlets, an outlet mall on the Parkway, after
several people called 911 to report a shooting outside the Coach store at 3:49
p.m. By the time police arrived, the shooter and the female victim were dead,
according to Sevierville Police Department spokesman Bob Stahlke.
Authorities identified the gunman as 21-year-old Leon Steven Jones of Newport
and Sevierville, and the woman as 24-year-old Olivia Katelyn Cunningham of York,
Pennsylvania. Investigators believe Jones confronted Cunningham and Marr outside
the Coach store, shot both with a semi-automatic handgun and then shot himself
with the same weapon. knoxnews.com
Store Surveillance
Op/Ed: A.I. that halts thieves -- before they steal
The customer is always right - except when artificial intelligence says the
customer isn't. That's sort of the message being sent by new technology aimed at
catching crooks before they commit their crooked acts, anyway.
The Japanese company Vaak recently
released software that detects when store shoppers are about to shoplift
-
or so goes the theory. It's behavioral assessing A.I., pure and simple. The
system takes security camera footage in real-time and analyzes it for strange
body language. Suspicious shoppers get red-lighted, and alerts are then sent to
the store's security personnel, who can review the feed and quickly determine if
additional scrutiny - or even intercession - is necessary.
At least this is only a preventive A.I. program. The movie "Minority Report"
showcased similar, albeit then-fictional, technology that led, in that
storyline, to the arrest of shoppers deemed too suspicious. Let's hope this
technology never turns that curve. And truly, there are benefits for all for
better store surveillance.

UK: Government considers funding retail security measures
Minister for Crime Determined to Tackle Retail
Crime
MPs from across the political spectrum called on the government to take action
against retail crime, in a debate in parliament on Thursday (11 April).
Steve McCabe, MP for Birmingham Selly Oak, said: "The fact that the police
will not investigate shop thefts with a value of less than £200 is virtually
an incentive to offend."
He called for the introduction of "proper banning orders" to ensure people
who commit repeat offences are banned from specific shops or retail areas.
He also urged the government to look at additional ways of helping to fund new
and better security equipment for smaller retailers
Responding to the MPs, minister for crime Victoria Atkins said she was
"absolutely determined" to tackle the problem of retail crime. "Every day, we
ask shop workers to enforce the law, whether by refusing to sell age-restricted
products to those whom they believe are below the legal age, or by confronting
criminals who are trying to steal from their business. Shop workers, like all
employees, have the right to feel safe at work, without fear of violence or
intimidation. That is why, on April 5, I launched a call for evidence to enable
us to learn more about the scale and extent of the issue and inform our
response," she added.
According to the ACS 2019 Crime Report, crime against convenience retailers cost
the sector an estimated £246m over the last year - the equivalent of over £5,300
for every c-store in the UK or a 7p tax on every transaction, while over 10,000
incidents of violence were reported.

Looking for Industry Support & Input
San Francisco police rally opposition to proposed law mostly banning public
facial biometrics
A committee of San Francisco's board of supervisors heard a proposal to ban
facial recognition technology from the city this week in a meeting attended by
various supporters and critics of the ban,
Gizmodo reports.
 The
San Francisco Police Officers Association (SFPOA) did not participate in the
hearing, but has emailed supporters a draft letter to be completed and sent to
local lawmakers expressing concern with the proposal and supporting amendments
suggested by local crime-prevention group Stop Crime SF. Supervisor Aaron Peskin,
who filed the
Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance in January, says he has received numerous
identical emails from the SFPOA campaign.
The form letter warns of excessive bureaucracy hindering the police and other
agencies, and criticizes a perceived lack of input from the security
community in the ordinance. The amendments suggested by Stop Crime SF
include a one-year sunset clause and exemptions for large facilities such as the
city's airport, port, and baseball stadium Oracle Park.
Peskin says opposition from police defeated a proposal in California's State
Senate similar to the San Francisco ordinance, according to Gizmodo.
The Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance does not apply to home or private
business security systems, though the SFPOA email mentions that both groups
need to be consulted.

Going 100% Mobile
Emeryville, CA: New Global Sporting Goods Brand Decathlon Store No Checkouts
Decathlon's new retail concept, located in Emeryville, CA, features RFID-enabled
mobile checkout stations instead of traditional checkout lines or cash wraps,
according to a press release. When a customer wants to pay, s/he approaches an
associate who places the physical contents of the shopper's basket in the
checkout station, which takes stock of the items and generates a QR code. The
associate then scans the code with an iPhone, adding the products to a mobile
cart. The customer can then pay with Apple Pay, credit card, gift card or via a
proprietary QR code-based checkout system tied to the store's payment platform.
The payment system runs exclusively on iPhones.
Decathlon's U.S. presence currently consists of the full-sized store and one "Lab Store" it opened last year, also in California, to gather data on local
customer needs and interests.

New Survey Making the News Across Media Outlets
Consumers around the world are spending less on almost everything. Even booze.
Consumers around the world are likely to spend more cautiously in the coming
months amid political and economic uncertainty, according to a new report that
surveyed shoppers in 64 countries.
Shoppers said they have cut back on clothing and entertainment costs in the past
year, and have taken measures to save on gas and electricity, according to the
Conference Board Global Consumer Confidence Survey, conducted in collaboration
with Nielsen.
"There's a wait-and-see attitude," said Denise Dahlhoff, senior researcher for
consumer research at The Conference Board, which surveyed 32,000 online shoppers
worldwide.
"Despite the high levels of confidence globally, consumers in different markets
have different views about where the economy is heading in 2019," said Bart van
Ark, global chief executive of The Conference Board. "The majority of global
consumers do not expect conditions to become more favorable over the next twelve
months."

Why Cyber Security is Key to Enterprise Risk
Management for all Organizations
Large organizations have always focused on managing risk, but the technological
breakthroughs that have enhanced our world in countless ways have also
transformed how leading executives engage in enterprise risk management (ERM).
The pervasive and ever-expanding threat of cyber crime means that
comprehensive strategies for cyber security are now absolutely essential for all
organizations.
After all, a report by Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that
cyber crime across the globe will cost more than $6 trillion annually by
2021.
The sheer magnitude and pervasiveness of the crisis represents a cyber security
call to arms, and seemingly no one is immune. By now, the list of data breach
victims reads like a who's who of major corporations, governmental agencies,
retailers, restaurant chains, universities, social media sites and more.
If you need another reason to drop everything and prioritize cyber security risk
management in your organization's overall ERM strategies and systems, consider
the recent NotPetya malware attack. Described by Wired as "The
Most Devastating Cyberattack in History," it disrupted global shipping
operations for several weeks and caused more than $10 billion in total damages
while temporarily crippling such multinational companies as shipping giant
Maersk and FedEx's European subsidiary, TNT Express. All because hackers were
able to infiltrate a networked but unsecured server in the Ukraine that was
running software that made it more vulnerable to attack.

Dark Web Fraud Guides
"Fraud Guides 101: Dark Web Lessons on How to Defraud Companies
and Exploit Data"
Seeing how they teach and instruct leads you to stronger and quicker
responses.
 Among
the many items up for sale on the Dark Web are fraud guides-instruction manuals
designed to teach criminals how to ply their trade. A
report released Wednesday by web intelligence company Terbium Labs analyzed
a large number of fraud guides, providing a look into the cybercriminal mind and
methods as a way to help you better protect yourself and your organization.
Entitled "Fraud Guides 101: Dark Web Lessons on How to Defraud Companies and
Exploit Data," the report examined almost 30,000 different fraud guides to
determine what criminals are selling, what they're teaching, and what they're
learning. In particular, Terbium's report revealed which types of data are the
most valuable to criminals, and therefore the most vulnerable. techrepublic.com
Benefiting from Data Privacy Investments
GDPR-ready companies experience lower
overall costs associated with data breaches
Millions of people continue to be flummoxed and frustrated by the
much-publicized leaks of their personal information from the likes of Marriott,
Facebook, and Equifax, to cite three recent examples. Such data breaches are
causing companies and organizations everywhere to re-examine the things they
procure, the services they use, the individuals they hire, and the people and
firms with whom they partner and do business. Across the board, organizations
have sunk money into staff, strategies, and equipment to comply with new,
tighter customer privacy rules and sidestep major fines and other penalties.
On May 25, 2018, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect,
and other privacy laws and regulations worldwide are evolving and expanding.
Cisco's 2019 Data Privacy Benchmark Study details how scores of
organizations are having a hard time meeting all the demands of the new
regulatory regimes - and the ones that took early action to address security
concerns are seeing positive results from their investments.

Attention CISOs: Five steps to get the security funding you need
Going in front of the board to request or increase your security funding is no
easy task - especially when the organization is facing budget restraints or,
worse, the board does not agree with your sense of urgency in securing the
organization. If you're about to make such a presentation, remember your focus
should be describing your organization's overall cyber security maturity, risks
caused by company deficiencies, existing risk position based on current
weaknesses, and proposed solutions.
To help you get the funding you need, here's a five-step funding request
template that you can follow.
1. Identify your valuable assets and risks caused by organizational deficiencies
2. Prioritize and assess your organization's current risks
3. Present your proposed security program
4. Describe a security plan to address current risk levels
5. Call for action - Describe next steps for approval

Security staff honored for quick actions during Yorkdale mall shooting
Five security staff people at Yorkdale Shopping Centre were honoured on Sunday
for acting quickly in the face of danger during a shooting at the mall last
summer. The Toronto Police Service Board and Toronto Police Service gave
community member awards to four security guards, Nigel Penny, Shane Palmer, Luca
Aiello and Jordell Wolseley, and to one security officer, Marco Rotondo.
 The
guards were recognized for their bravery, while the officer was recognized for
his initiative while operating the mall's video surveillance system. The five
are among 38 people given to community member awards on Sunday at a presentation
at police headquarters.
"For their teamwork and courage, the unarmed guards ran towards the gunfire as
everyone else was fleeing from it," the board and police service said in their
presentation notes.
On August 30, 2018, a Toronto police officer on paid duty at the upscale mall
noticed shoppers panicking, running out of the large building and shouting about
gunfire inside the sprawling mall.
"Not being familiar with the internal layout of the mall, the officer requested
assistance of security guards. Within a few minutes security guards had a
male in their custody."

Canadian Retailers Fear Reusable Bags Can Be a New Tool for Shoplifters
'It's easy enough to walk out the door with
your bag being full of product and purchases being unpaid for'
Crowds of people milling through a store with reusable shopping bags and
bookbags in tow is simultaneously a dream and a nightmare for some Canadian
retailers. They're happy to have the customers, but are worried about the small
percentage of people who see their reusable bag as a tool for shoplifting.
"At one time they [retailers] might have had two or three suspicious looking
people in the building," said Stephen O'Keefe, a consultant who helps companies
with loss prevention. "Now, with reusable bags, they look around and maybe
30, 40 per cent of their customers appear to be suspicious."
O'Keefe spent years with Hudson's Bay, Sears and was the vice-president of loss
prevention and risk management with Walmart Canada.
Jennings said some people decide not to use the store's carts or baskets while
they shop. Instead, they put the items they want to buy directly into their
reusable bags.
"I'm sure that 99.9 per cent of folks with reusable bags aren't thinking about
that at all, but it is another method for those, that small minority of folks
that are looking to take advantage of you, to get one over on you for
sure."
O'Keefe said good ways to deter people from shoplifting include aggressive
hospitality, using a security system that has visible cameras, doors that
require motion to open and having a store layout that forces customers to walk
by cashiers when they leave.

'Making a Murderer': From the
Screen to the Hot Seat
|
Dave Thompson, CFI
VP of Operations,
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates |
|
 |
The Netflix true-crime documentary series "Making a Murderer" highlighted the
case of Brendan Dassey and the interrogation that led to a highly controversial
"confession" and guilty verdict resulting in Dassey's incarceration.
Worldwide leaders in non-confrontational interviewing techniques,
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates
(WZ), took a stand by highlighting the issues and errors made in these
interrogations leading to coerced confessions - and have continued to use this
case as an example in their training programs.
Dave Thompson, CFI, discusses the impact "Making a Murderer" has had on the
interrogation community and how it's helped push the evolution of this essential
skill for practitioners ranging from law enforcement to loss prevention.

Beware of These 5 E-Commerce CNP Fraud Trends
Fraudsters Impersonate Companies and Executives
One of the fastest-growing types of fraud against all kinds of organizations
is
business email compromise (BEC). BEC can target a retailer's customers
by sending an email impersonating customer service and asking for account
credentials - a common type of phishing that leads to account takeover
fraud. BEC can also do major damage when scammers pose as company executives
and then email "urgent" wire transfer or invoice payment requests to other
people within the company.
Bad Bots Go Mobile
Fraudsters are deploying botnets in many ways to get around fraud
controls. One method is to rent "armies" of infected devices to mask the
origin of their attacks on merchants, banks and other organizations online.
Fraudsters are also increasingly using smartphones for botnet attacks. A
2018 report found that one in 17 mobile devices across half a dozen major
carrier networks was being used for bot traffic. If your store doesn't
already use channel-specific fraud prevention for mobile and desktop, now is
the time to begin.
More Cross-Border Orders, More Rejections
While there are some additional risks with cross-border orders, such as
higher rates of device and identity spoofing, many of those rejected orders
were probably false declines based on assumptions about the risks from
particular countries.
More Data Breaches, More Fraud
As criminals discover new ways to exploit consumer data for CNP fraud and
other types of fraud, the market for stolen data is growing. With every
breach, of course, criminals have more material to commit CNP fraud, take
over consumer accounts, synthesize new identities for fraud, and impersonate
real people (usually corporate executives) to commit identity-deception
fraud.
Costly GDPR Consequences for Data Loss
The European Union's GDPR may start having an impact on the way companies
obtain data, store it, and disclose breaches when they're discovered. That's
not only because the sweeping law, which took effect in 2018, covers all
businesses that have customers in the EU. It's also because this may be the
year we see high-profile companies pay the consequences for a lack of
security or due diligence.

Aspen, CO: Former City Councilman and wife
accused of stealing $2M worth of Ski Equipment from Aspen Ski Company
 A
former Aspen city councilman and mayoral candidate is being accused of stealing
millions of dollars worth of skis, snowboards, and other goods while working for
Aspen Ski Company. The alleged thefts took place over more than a decade. The
Aspen Times reported that 51-year-old Derek Johnson and his wife Kerry have been
charged with felony theft. Police found stolen goods in a storage unit the
couple rented. Johnson was fired last December. Police executing a search
warrant on the storage unit allegedly found a booth inside to photograph
equipment, and obtained from eBay the records of nearly 6,000 sales. In 2017
alone and that the couple might have earned $1 million to $2 million in revenue
since the alleged side business started, possibly in 2012.

Interesting how the social dynamics of a small industry mirror, somewhat, the
same social dynamics of a family, with the holidays and conferences almost being
one in the same, where we're excited to visit with old friends and colleagues,
yet cautious about the battle lines business and careers at times necessitate or
cause. At the end of the day, it's all about doing what's right for the
industry, adding value, helping people, and continuing to help evolve the
industry. And while each executive has their individual agendas, it's important
to remember that we are all part of one industry and we all share one goal - to
guide, nurture, and evolve it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
