UK retailer Co-op invests $90M in LP tech to fight crimewave
 Following
a series of raids across the region in which staff have been threatened by gangs
who steal cash or high-value goods like cigarettes and alcohol, the Co-operative
Group Limited has announced plans to pump more than £70m ($90.3M USD) into the
fight against crime.
The company is investing millions in new forensic liquid technology and is
joining other retailers in helping Telford based security firm SmartWater to
develop a fog cannon. The cannon will also be aimed at protecting tobacco and
alcohol counters from attacks as well as staff. It makes it impossible for
raiders to see anything and leaves them covered in SmartWater that can link them
to the crime scene.
Meanwhile, a special gel is being installed inside cash machines to leave marks
on thieves in a bid to ensure they are successfully prosecuted at court when
caught.
Some of the money is being spent on state-of-the-art interactive and remote
monitored CCTV, covert trackers and other methods to deter and disrupt criminal
activity.

UK hit by more than 1,000 shoplifting incidents every day, police data shows
The UK retail industry suffered from an average of 1,035 reported incidents of
shoplifting every dayin 2018, according to the latest analysis of UK police data
by leading loss prevention solutions provider Checkpoint Systems.
The latest crime statistics reveal that retailers reported 377,850 incidents in
2018, with no suspect identified in 42% of cases. And at a time when
physical stores are experiencing closures as result of poor financial
performance, there is a clear requirement to reduce retail crime.
However, in more positive news for retailers, December 2018 marked the lowest
'Christmas shoplifting' figures in the last three years, with 897 fewer
incidents than the previous year. It demonstrates that stores have become
effective at protecting their merchandise during this busy sales period.
A surge of shoplifting in 2018: While the total number of incidents fell
compared to the previous year (-2.9%), many regions reported double digit
increases to the number of recorded incidents. The City of London police force
saw a 20% increase in shoplifting compared to last year, while the north east of
England was the worst hit in 2018, with Cleveland Police and Durham Constabulary
reporting increases of 16% and 14% respectively. The Metropolitan Police
continued to handle the largest number of shoplifting reports - 44,090 over the
course of 12 months.

Facial recognition tech used to target in-store ads called creepy
Cameras that guess shoppers' age and sex are
coming to store shelves
 Eyeing that can of soda in the supermarket cooler? Or maybe you're craving a
pint of ice cream? A camera could be watching you. But it's not there to see if
you're stealing. These cameras want to get to know you and what you're buying.
It's a new technology being trotted out to retailers, where cameras try to guess
your age, gender or mood as you walk by. The intent is to use the information to
show you targeted real-time ads on in-store video screens.
With store cameras, you may not even realize you are being watched unless you
happen to notice the penny-sized lenses. And that has raised concerns over
privacy. "The creepy factor here is definitely a 10 out of 10," said Pam Dixon,
executive director of the World Privacy Forum, a nonprofit that researches
privacy issues.
At the National Retail Federation trade show in New York earlier this year, a
smart shelf on display by Mood Media tried to detect "happiness" or "fear" as
people stood in front it - information a store could use to gauge reaction to a
product on the shelf or an ad on a screen.
For now, the cameras are in just a handful of stores.
Kroger, which has 2,800 supermarkets, is testing cameras embedded in a
price sign above shelves in two stores in the suburbs outside Cincinnati and
Seattle. Video screens attached to the shelves can play ads and show discounts.
Kroger said the cameras guess a shopper's age and sex but the information is
anonymous and the data is not being stored. If the tests work out well, the
company said it could expand it into other locations.
Walgreens, which has more than 8,000 drugstores, installed cooler doors
with cameras and sensors at six locations in Chicago, New York, San Francisco
and Bellevue, Washington. Instead of the usual clear glass doors that allow
customers to see inside, there are video screens that display ads along with the
cooler's contents.

 Academics hide humans from surveillance cameras with 2D prints
Academics from a Belgian university have devised a method that uses a simple 2D
image that can be printed on shirts or bags to make wearers invisible to camera
surveillance systems that rely on machine learning to recognize humans in live
video feeds.
The 2D image (called a "patch" in the research paper) must be placed around the
middle of a person's "detection box" and must face the surveillance camera at
all times.
This does not hide a person's real face from the video feed (unless the person
also wears a mask), but it prevents any human detection algorithm from spotting
a human body when entering the frame and triggering a subsequent facial
recognition check.

Trucking company Celadon ordered to pay $42M after admitting securities fraud
President of subsidiary company reaches plea deal on conspiracy charge
Indianapolis-based trucking company Celadon Group Inc. has agreed to pay $42.2
million in restitution to settle securities fraud charges
announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Under the settlement, the company admitted to "filing materially false and
misleading statements to investors and falsifying books, records and accounts,"
federal prosecutors said. The restitution will go to "shareholder victims,"
according to the agreement.
In addition, Danny Williams, former president of Quality Cos. - a Celadon
subsidiary that owned trucks and leased them to drivers - reached a plea
agreement with prosecutors after being charged with one count of conspiracy to
commit securities fraud, making false statements to a public company's
accountants, and falsifying books, records and accounts of a public company.

Chipotle receives subpoena related to Ohio illness incident
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc said on Thursday it received another subpoena from
U.S. federal prosecutors, seeking information related to an outbreak that left
hundreds of people sick last year in a Powell, Ohio restaurant.
Over the past three years, the company has faced a number of subpoenas regarding
sicknesses linked to its restaurants following an E. Coli, salmonella and
norovirus outbreaks at the company's outlets dating back to late 2015 that
affected hundreds across several states.
The latest subpoena is the fourth and is part of an ongoing criminal
investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney's office for the Central
District of California.

Walmart to Develop Its Own Supply Chain for Angus Beef
The Arkansas-based chain will develop a network of cattle ranches and
meat-processing plants to provide Angus beef products exclusively for its
stores, a move Walmart said will provide the company and its customers better
visibility into their food supply. Retailers' moves to take greater control of
some commodity processing come partly in response to consumers' growing focus on
how food is produced, with shoppers scrutinizing everything from the fertilizer
used on grain fields to drugs fed to chickens.

Bodybuilding.com Breach A Reminder That An Organization's
Biggest Cyber Risk Is Its People
Last week news emerged that leading fitness forum and retailer Bodybuilding.com
had experienced a security breach. In a
statement on its website, the company said the incident "may have affected
certain customer information in our possession" but could not confirm whether
any data was actually stolen. For its 9 million-plus registered members,
this is concerning news indeed.
After discovering the breach, Bodybuilding.com hired an external security firm
to help identify the source, which was traced back to a phishing email
targeting staff in July 2018. It may be that just one of the company's 450
employees fell for the attack - but this is all it takes for a threat actor to
muscle in. And the cost will already be high, with time and money spent on
bolstering defences, handling customers and cooperating with law enforcement.
The breach is a reminder that organizations will always be vulnerable if their
non-technical employees lack cyber awareness - no matter how good their security
team is. Just as muscular imbalance can lead to injury in bodybuilders,
cyber-ignorance can weaken an organization's risk posture. And considering the
average data breach costs $3.86 million (as per IBM), providing effective
training is the only financially viable option.

Survey Shows a Security Conundrum
A new survey illustrates how security executives are forced to embrace
conundrums, conflicts, and confusion, in their jobs. The report, from Glasswall
Solutions, based on interviews with senior-level security executives in the US
and UK, found that 85% rely heavily on employees as part of their defense and
40% consider employees are the sole "last line of defense" for the company - but
40% say employees are a significant source of vulnerabilities.

Shopify Flaw Exposed Thousands of Merchants' Revenue, Traffic Numbers
A security flaw in a Shopify API endpoint has been discovered by a researcher
which can be exploited to leak the revenue and traffic data of thousands of
stores. Shopify, which accounts for over 800,000 merchants in more than 175
countries, set up a new API over the past year, which
gained the interest of bug bounty hunter Ayoub Fathi. This API was meant to
be used to internally fetch sales data for graph presentations, but the system
was found to be leaking the revenue data of two unnamed Shopify stores, one of
which had been removed from the platform.

Supreme Court hears arguments in SNAP retail data case
A decision is expected by the end of June in the fight over Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program retail data. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments
in the case April 22, according to Politico. The issue originated as a public
records request nearly eight years ago.
The Argus Leader, the Sioux Falls, S.D., newspaper that first sought the
information in 2011, asserts the public has a right to know which companies are
receiving reimbursement from the federal program. Organizations including the
Food Marketing Institute and the National Grocers Association say the
information's release would be detrimental to stores.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Amazon have gotten into a Twitter scuffle, with the
online merchandiser swiping back at suggestions by the Democratic presidential
contender that the company exploits troves of data on third-party sellers to
edge them out of the market.
Warren, D-Mass., said that Amazon abuses its online retail dominance in a town
hall on CNN Monday, later tweeting that her antitrust policy plank to disrupt
"big tech" would keep corporations like Amazon from "knocking out the rest of
the competition" by using the retail data collected through its own platform to
launch products.

The True Cost of Declined Orders
A recent
survey on global fraud shows that merchants decline 2.6 percent of all
e-commerce orders due to suspected fraud. For orders worth over $100, the rate
of transactions declined over fear of fraud is 3.1 percent. For a retailer
selling $25 million online annually, this means rejecting orders worth more than
$600,000 every year. But the true cost of declines is actually far higher than
just the lost sales revenue.
To understand the full cost of declines, one must consider all the factors
involved in a holistic risk management approach, including the sales and
marketing investment that goes to waste when a good order is declined. Whether
online media, SEM, or social media campaigns, e-commerce companies invest
considerable funds and energy in customer acquisition and retention-bringing
users to the website, bringing them to checkout, and trying to ensure they
become repeat customers.

Brea, CA: 4 arrested after Apple store theft, suspects rammed Police cars during
pursuit
 Tuesday
night, Just before 8:45 p.m., police were called about several males stealing
cellphones on display. The suspects ran off, got into a car and fled the mall's
parking lot. But officers and detectives spotting the fleeing car and tried to
pull it over - instead, the vehicle intentionally struck a police vehicle and
sped off, police said. Police chased after the car to near Lambert Road and 57
Freeway, with the driver intentionally colliding with police vehicles two more
times before a police officer rammed the suspects' car back, disabling it,
authorities said.
After searching with canines and a helicopter, four suspects were taken into
custody, and officers found cellphones. "It was thousands of dollars worth,"
Hawley said. Officers believe they nabbed all of those directly involved in the
crimes, authorities said, though they also believe the foursome may be part of a
theft ring. No officer was injured, but one police vehicle had substantial
damage to the front and was considered totaled. Two other Brea vehicles suffered
minor damage.

Cincinnati, OH: $3.4 million in Findlay Market SNAP fraud nets man five years
probation
A man accused of helping his brother and sister-in-law run a $3.4 million food
stamp fraud scheme through their Findlay Market business was on Wednesday

Passion is probably the one trait all employers look for in every search and in
every candidate. It's also the one ingredient that's hard to manufacture and
almost impossible to fake. Certainly, energy level has a lot to do with it and
virtually everyone can pick it up a notch when they need to. But passion is
something that's deep and something money can't buy and quite frankly it's worth
it's weight in gold because passion motivates people and it's what separates the
good from the great. If you've got passion, let it show and, if you don't, try
to go find it because every employer wants it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
