The Future of LP/AP
Mike Lamb, Vice President, Asset Protection,
Kroger
Mark Stinde, SVP, Asset Protection, JCPenney
Kevin Colman, Group VP of Asset Protection, Macy's |
|
 With
retail rolling out a multitude of new technologies faster than ever before, how
are the core LP/AP executives in the store and at corporate being impacted? How
involved are we in these rollouts on the front end? And on the back end, does it
change the essence of LP's training, awareness, and investigative abilities?
With e-commerce fraud growing and a number of LP/AP executives now managing
those processes, we now have a slight, invisible merging of IT Security and Loss
Prevention that is being talked about. How far will this evolve?
In this roundtable discussion, three industry leaders share their perspectives
on how technology is impacting LP's role now and in the future.

Sensormatic Solutions
- Connecting All the Tech
Traffic - RFID - SMaaS
In
the Store: Retail Innovation with a Purpose
 By
Kim Warne, Vice President & CMO, Sensormatic Solutions
There has never been a time when technology has been more critical to
retail performance than it is today. Technology is enabling omnichannel
strategies, providing supply chain visibility and changing how retailers connect
with consumers through social media and other digital channels.
While online and mobile are still integral components in the modern consumer's
shopping journey, a majority of retail capital investments are now being
allocated to store networks. Making smart technology investments can deliver
tremendous value to retail stores, to optimize staffing, increase inventory
turns, enable secure frictionless transactions, and to empower store associates
to become effective brand ambassadors. To achieve strong store performance now
and in the future, retailers must operate seamlessly and efficiently while
delivering unique, differentiated brand experiences. The right technology
investments can help retailers reach both of these goals simultaneously.
Leveraging your investment: new insights through connectivity
 Insights into
store traffic patterns
are key to understanding the path to
purchase and conversion. Smart loss prevention solutions
deliver real-time
insights to help retailers make effective data-driven decisions that may
positively impact shrink and bottom line results. Inventory intelligence
solutions
help retailers gain item-level visibility into accurate and timely
inventory across the enterprise. Combining data across these solutions can
create even more value as the adoption of data analytics and smart, connected
devices can provide retailers a more holistic, precise view of their business.
With a consolidated view, retailers can better
understand peak shopping hours
and combine those insights with inventory visibility
to identify when shelves may need to be restocked. This holistic approach
can also help align staffing decisions with times where there is an increase in
sales and conversion, along with the potential loss events due to heavy foot
traffic. When different business areas work in tandem with each another,
retailers can better ensure that the shopper who was looking for the red blouse
not only finds the blouse faster than before, but also that the experience
builds loyalty for repeat visits.

Violent Incidents Soar in Multiple Cities
"McDonald's workers say restaurants are a magnet for crime"
Filed One Week Before Shareholders Meeting
In a report filed this week with the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration, employees at a McDonald's on the south side of Chicago
said their workplace had been the scene of 31 violent incidents over six months
during the past year. The mayhem included violent fights and customers
attacking workers over missing french fries - three recent incidents involved
customers assaulting or threatening workers with a firearm.
McDonald's
isn't training workers and store managers on how to deal with violence at
its restaurants, workers and labor advocates say.
Customers brandishing guns; bloody fistfights; physical attacks on employees -
for workers at one Chicago McDonald's restaurant, life behind the counter can
sometimes be downright life-threatening. Labor advocates also say such incidents
occur with alarming regularity at other of the fast-foot chain's restaurants,
including shootings, sexual assaults and robberies.
The Chicago workers, who worked with the union-based Fight for $15 campaign
to file the OSHA complaint, said in their letter that employees placed
dozens of 911 calls from the restaurant since November but that its manager
urged them to tone down their distress out of concern the eatery might get shut
down. Now they want OSHA to investigate McDonald's handling of what they
contend is "systemic" violence at its U.S. locations.
1,356 calls to 911 from 1 Chicago McDonalds alone.
Starbucks Lawsuit Alleges NYC Stores Exposed Customers To Toxic Pesticide
Starbucks is facing two lawsuits alleging that it exposed customers and
employees of its selected New York City stores to poisonous pesticide toxin
called Dichlorvos or DDVP.
A former Starbucks employee and two pest control workers filed a lawsuit on May
21, claiming that the coffee company has, for years, allowed the use of toxic
chemicals in its stores, which infused not only the food products and fixtures
but also the air circulated throughout its retail locations in the city.
The charges specifically identified Starbucks' use of the Hot Shot No-Pest 2
strips, which, according to the Hot Shot website, should not be used in
kitchens, restaurants, or areas where food is prepared or served.

Biometrics Institute warns biometrics misuse
could undermine public confidence
Following recent reports of facial recognition technology being misused, The
Biometrics Institute is urging law enforcement agencies, border management
agencies and governments to follow existing good practices to ensure responsible
use of biometrics. If they fail to do so, the Institute warns that regulators
may restrict usage and place an onus on the industry to ensure privacy
protections.
International laws and standards for biometrics have yet to be developed, and
the Biometrics Institute has taken on a role of issuing good practice guidelines
to help organizations assess and implement responsible and ethical biometrics
practices. Using biometrics without regard for these principles risks
undermining public confidence in policing and counter-terrorism applications of
the technology, according to the Institute's announcement.

Amazon To Continue Selling 'Rekognition' Facial
Recognition
Amazon said on Wednesday that its shareholders had voted down proposals
that would have pushed the company to reconsider its societal impact in two key
areas: facial recognition and climate change.
One proposal asked Amazon to put the brakes on how the company sells
surveillance technologies to governments.
One proposal asked the board to commission "an independent study" looking at
several issues, such as whether customers could use Rekognition to "unfairly or
disproportionately target or surveil people of color, immigrants and activists
in the United States" or whether it sold to authoritarian or repressive
governments abroad. The other asked the company to stop selling Rekognition to
government customers unless the board determined the technology did not help
perpetrate civil and human rights abuses.
The company and its board have said they are not aware of any time that law
enforcement agencies have used Amazon Rekognition to infringe on civil
liberties. The board said the report would be a waste of money on
"hypothetical and speculative concerns." And it said the outright ban did
not make sense because "we do not believe that the potential for customers
to misuse results generated by Amazon Rekognition should prevent us from making
that technology available to our customers."

Fraud Alert: Amazon's Free One-Day Shipping Changes the Rules for eCommerce
In late April, Amazon announced plans to offer free one-day shipping to all
Amazon Prime customers nationwide. Shortly afterward, Walmart announced the
availability of free one-day shipping of orders totaling $35 or more.
Chargebacks911, a leading dispute mitigation and loss prevention firm, cautions
competing eCommerce vendors to maintain sound online security and payment
security measures as they focus on shortening their fulfillment schedules.
"Competition from the giants will force smaller retailers to invest outside
their annual budgets to provide faster delivery. These merchants may be
tempted to relax their online security and payment security measures somewhat to
retain as many customers as possible."
At a time when so-called 'friendly fraud' chargebacks are increasing at a rate
of 20% per year, however, it is essential that eCommerce merchants maintain
payment security in order to protect business growth and cash flow.

Getting
Back to Basics with ePVM's
LPRC: Customers & Associates Feel Safer
LP Positively Impacting the Customer Experience
With the entire retail industry focused on re-defining and creating a unique
customer experience that melds together the online and store environments,
digital signage is destined to play a starring role in every aspect of retail.
Once again, loss prevention has been leading the effort with Enhanced Public
View Monitors (ePVMs) being one of the first interactive video monitors to show
up in stores.
 Certainly
it's been a long and hard battle to gain the support and funding for what now is
considered one of the basics in situational crime prevention. But with
the Loss Prevention Research Council's (LPRC)
ePVM impact study showing that customers "feel safer in stores with e/PVMs"
it may be an opportune time to review and consider expanding the program.
Especially with CBD products hitting the market.
With that in mind, there's also the opportunity to turn the entire program
into a revenue generator with Media PVMs. Just like the EAS towers used for
marketing, these media PVMs can be used for marketing as well. It really all
depends on how good your selling skills are and how strong your relationships
are in the organization.
With customer experience being the #1 driver right now, it all starts with
customers feeling safer, and every retailer has to be focused on that goal.

New Email Attack Variants Skyrocketing
Email Attacks Are Getting More Sophisticated & Frequent
PDFs Most Porous Point of Networks
Researchers and security experts said that infected files are evolving in
ways that traditional defenses find difficult to detect.
Some attacks come embedded within legitimate files widely used in corporate and
government offices, such as PDFs and Microsoft Corp.'s Word and Excel. Common
email quarantines don't stop these file formats because such tools scan messages
for suspicious file extensions, or work from lists of known malware variants. A
legitimate, but infected, file can pass through, according to security experts.
Other, more advanced malware can analyze a victim company's network for
vulnerabilities and defenses and take different actions depending on what it
detects, such as activating or waiting for a more opportune moment to do so.
Attacks are also getting more frequent, according to some security firms.
Firewall provider SonicWall Inc. said it detected 74,000 new Microsoft
Office and PDF attack variants in 2018.
That number jumped to 173,000 in the first quarter of 2019 and most attacks
were launched at U.S. businesses and government offices.
"I've not yet heard of a company taking the drastic move of outlawing PDFs,
and those are the most porous points of our networks, as they come in
through email," he said.

DDoS Attacks Up 84% in Q1 Over Q4
Even After Law Enforcement Crackdowns
Sudden surge suggests that new actors have stepped up to the plate to
replace the old operators.
Distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) - particularly those lasting more
than an hour - increased sharply in number during the first quarter of
this year over the prior quarter after declining steadily for most of 2018.
 The
unexpected resurgence suggests that new suppliers of DDoS services have
quietly emerged to replace operators that were disrupted in a series of law
enforcement actions last year, Kaspersky Lab said in a report summarizing DDoS
activity in Q1 2019.
The security vendor's analysis shows the number of DDoS attacks in Q1 to be
some 84% higher than the number recorded in the last three months of 2018.
One significant trend that Kaspersky Lab notes is number of attacks lasting
one hour or longer doubled over Q4 at 21% of all attacks. Over one in 10
(10.13%) of the DDoS attacks in Kaspersky Lab's dataset lasted between five
hours and nine hours, and another 9.37% lasted between 10 hours and 49 hours
-
or more than two days. Some 2% of the attacks were longer than 50 hours, with
the longest one lasting 289 hours, or just over 12 days.
Kaspersky Lab's new
report is the latest to highlight the continuing threat that DDoS attacks
present to organizations despite some major wins for law enforcement against
those behind such attacks.

New Software Skims Credit Card Info From Online Credit Card Transactions
A new strain of software designed to steal financial information from retail
websites has surfaced, demonstrating criminals' ability to adapt and improve
their tools in the face of improved security measures.
The software, discovered by researcher Jérôme Segura at Malwarebytes, takes
advantage of the popular retail practice of using a third-party credit card
payment organization to facilitate credit card use. In this case, the software
targets companies using Magento as their financial processing service
provider. The malicious software inserts an iframe around the display code
that would send the customer to Magento to finalize a purchase - an iframe that
requests and captures the customer payment card info far earlier than it would
be requested in a legitimate transaction.
This new attack is similar to an earlier overlay code tactic used by Magecart.
It allows the purchase to proceed, minimizing the speed with which it might be
found, but will exfiltrate customer payment information in the process. The only
real clue for those who don't have the checkout page layout memorized is the
process by which payment information is requested twice - which should alert all
consumers that something is amiss.

Alibaba counterfeit crackdown "driving fakes to
other platforms"
Once the poster child of the problem of online counterfeits, Alibaba has been
working hard to set its house in order, and says 2018 marked another successful
year of campaigning against illicit trade on its platforms.
Matthew Bassiur, Alibaba's head of global intellectual property enforcement,
says the company is now operating an industry-leading anti-counterfeit programme,
and that is driving counterfeiters to use different distribution channels.
For Alibaba's internal efforts, the single biggest factor in tackling the trade
has been the collaboration with brand owners, associations and governments,
something that it has attempted to generate via its Alibaba
Anti-Counterfeiting Alliance (AACA), formed in 2017 to bring cooperation on
anti-counterfeit to a much higher level.
Close interaction with brand owners helps get the most out of all of Alibaba's
anti-counterfeit programmes, which centre around counterfeit listing takedowns,
proactive monitoring of listings to try to prevent counterfeits from reaching
consumers, and off-line enforcement of actions against offenders.
"We're hearing from rights holders that they are finding fewer and fewer
counterfeits across our platforms," said Bassiur, while consumer satisfaction
ratings are significantly improving. On Alibaba's Taobao platform, for example,
the number of refunds given for counterfeit purchases fell by 26 per cent last
year.
Offline enforcement - going after the manufacturers, suppliers and distributors
of counterfeits - is the third pillar of Alibaba's strategy and also resulted in
some successes last year, with the arrest of 1,953 criminal suspects and the
closure of 1,542 facilities involved in the manufacturing and distribution of
illicit goods. The total value of these cases was estimated at RMB 7.9 billion
($1.1bn).

Amazon is 3D-scanning people's bodies in exchange
for gift cards
 Amazon
has been conducting research that involves digital 3D "scans" of people's bodies
in exchange for a $25 Amazon gift card. The e-commerce giant is currently
carrying out the image study at two different locations in New York City.
The signup page for the study claims that Amazon takes 3D scans, photos, and
videos of study participants, both fully clothed and in "form-fitting" swimwear.
Height and weight measurements are also collected during the session. On the
website, Amazon states that the data collected during the study is "exclusively
for internal product research" and will not be used in a marketing capacity.

Houston, TX: 5 Bulldog Puppies Valued
At $44,000 Stolen In Pet Store Heist
Houston Police are looking for two men who broke into a pet store
and made off with 5 bulldog puppies valued at more than $44,000. The
puppy heist happened on April 29 in the 11500 block East F.M. 1960
Road. Investigators released store surveillance that shows two
masked men wearing hoodies and dark pants pull up in a dark colored
Honda Accord at about 3:30 a.m. The two men break in through the
front window to get inside the pet shop, and go immediately to a
small area where the English and French bulldogs were penned.

San Jose, CA: Six arrested in fatal Dollar Tree
store stabbing in April
 Six
San Jose residents have been arrested in connection with the homicide of a
32-year-old man last month at a Dollar Tree store. Officers responded to 1178 N.
Capitol Ave. at 6:48 p.m., April 4 to reports of a stabbing. Ryan Rousse was
found lying inside the store suffering from at least one stab wound, and he was
pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later. The same night, officers
arrested four suspects. Police said Anthony DeLaTorre, 24, and Dialo Terry, 19,
were both arrested in connection with the killing several days later. A police
investigation found that Rousse was being chased by a group of people earlier
that night, and a witness had called the incident in to police.

Covington, GA: Officer who was shot in the face
talks about recovery,
community support, and new goals in life
 Covington
Police Officer Matt Cooper has made a recovery that many would say is nothing
short of a miracle. He was shot in the head on September 3, 2018 while
responding to a shoplifting call at the Covington Walmart. Wednesday, at a
ceremony to honor the first responders who saved Cooper's life, he sat down to
speak publicly about his progress.
Cooper said he doesn't remember much about the day he was shot last September.
He said he remembers taking the call and sending two juveniles to the loss
prevention department in Walmart before going to assist with another teen who
was running away. "I'm looking to the left. I see him in the woods and that's
it,'' Cooper said. The teen who shot Cooper in the head, ultimately committed
suicide in the woods, leaving Cooper wounded.

Cincinnati, OH: Supreme Court rejects state's
appeal on death row inmate
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Ohio's appeal of a ruling throwing out a
man's conviction and death sentence in the 1997 slaying of a Cincinnati
convenience-store owner. The high court Monday let stand a 2018 6th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals decision that agreed with attorneys for Ahmad Fawzi Issa that
statements about his involvement in a murder-for-hire case were hearsay and
violated his right to confront witnesses against him. He was convicted of
arranging the shooting of Maher Khrais outside his store in 1997. Hamilton
County Prosecutor Joe Deters will have to decide whether to retry Issa, age 49.
Otherwise, he could be released from the state prison where he's been held since
1998.

Man Found Guilty of Trafficking 1,500 Counterfeit
iPhones worth $895,000
A 30-year-old Chinese man, Quan Jiang, in Oregon has been reportedly found
guilty of trafficking counterfeit iPhone devices. Over a span of two years, Jian
used to send fake iPhone devices, either hand delivered or shipped to Apple
saying that they are not turning on and should be replaced by the company as
they were under warranty. These devices were not limited to one or two but
around 3,000, for which Apple did replace 1,500 devices costing around $600
each. The accused pleaded guilty in the Federal court for trafficking
counterfeit iPhone devices on Wednesday. Jiang faces a maximum sentence of 10
years in prison, a $2 million fine or twice his proceeds, whichever is greater,
when he is sentenced on 28 August.

Sometimes the best reaction is no reaction as the old expression "Silence is
Golden" is more applicable than most think. Especially in a situation where
you're unfamiliar with the surroundings, the people, the cultural beliefs, or
the boundaries. The key is having the self-discipline not to react or speak. It
can help prevent you from going too far or showing anger and it just may keep
you from destroying a relationship or your reputation. Reacting is easy -
listening and bidding your time isn't.
Just a Thought,
Gus
