Update: Verisk Analyst, Timothy Young, Released
on $100K Unsecured bail
DOJ Charges Verisk Analyst Selling Access to Verisk Internal Databases for
$2.5M Cryptocurrencies
 Timothy
Young, 49, Morefield, NE, was released on a $100k unsecured bond this
week pending federal court date assignment. U.S. Attorney Matthew Riley
on New Jersey District.
Young posted his access to Verisk's databases for sale for $2.5M in
cryptocurrency. With the FBI using a confidential informant to contact him and
offer to buy the access for $100k and a $50k monthly usage fee.
With millions of buildings, nationwide emergency centers, nationwide fire
departments, insurance documents, and PI information from all Verisk clients
this could have been a monumental breach of national magnitude
 that
could in theory have led to a number of outcomes of catastrophic proportion
nationwide.
Interestingly a second username and logon was offered for use by Young which was
mentioned in the
original complaint.
Today NBC will be releasing the story at 6 pm.
Stay tuned as
we follow the case through
the courts and in unison with NBC.
RC Willey keeps an eye on shrink with Axis Communications
 Home
furnishings retailer secures inventory with advanced network camera technology.
Operating 15 stores across Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and California, as well as an
e-commerce business, Salt Lake City-based RC Willey manages $500 million of
inventory in warehouses and stores throughout the western US. Facing challenges
in tracking inventory discrepancies and investigating shrink, RC Willey decided
to install surveillance cameras in its supply chain.
The company installed analog cameras to document the inventory flow, but when
that system reached the end of its life, RC Willey began searching for a
high-resolution internet protocol (IP) digital video surveillance system that
could deliver better video with greater forensic value.
After lengthy on-site testing of 15 different IP video camera vendors, RC Willey
selected network cameras from Axis Communications to track inventory in transit
from its distribution centers, retail stores, and delivery trucks. RC Willey
also selected systems integrator and Axis partner Alphacorp to undertake the
installations.

JCP Shrink
Improving - Down 16% Q1
JCP CEO Jill Soltau: 'There's no silver bullet,' & turnaround will take time
Puts Shrink Reduction in Top 6 Priorities
It's been her experience in turnarounds, she said, that "things can get worse
before they get better."
We're focused on sustainable profitable growth and sustainable takes time," said
Soltau, who joined Penney in October. She's been putting her management team
together and working to improve Penney's processes, slashing inventories,
working on integrating the online and store businesses, cutting down on
shrink and revamping merchandise assortments and strategies.
Penney reduced its inventory by 13% last year and by 16% at the end of the
first quarter. New processes have also cut down "shrink," or the loss or theft
of merchandise, the company said. dallasnews.com
LP's Use of Facial Recog. - A "Practical
Application"
Acceptance Trend in Retail Industry Media Continues
"Do the benefits of using facial recognition in retail outweigh the risks?
Facial recognition technology has many practical applications, including
law enforcement, airport security and retail loss prevention to name a
few. And while these use cases seem reasonable to most people, not
everyone is enamored with facial recognition technology or how it's being used,
The recent legislative actions along with the heightened sensitivity to privacy
resulting from the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation in
Europe may prove to be problematic for retailers, including Walmart and
Walgreens, that are actively experimenting with facial recognition technologies.
Walmart has been testing facial recognition to improve customer service by
trying to recognize if a shopper is "unhappy". If that determination is made,
then customer service can intervene and turn a bad customer experience into a
good one - so the theory goes.
Walgreens is testing sensors that detect shoppers and cameras that scan their
faces to estimate their gender and approximate age for delivering targeted
messages on their experimental soft drink coolers outfitted with digital
displays.
While many retailers experimenting with facial recognition insist they are not
storing facial images or using them for any purpose except to help deliver a
better shopping experience, many questions remain. How are facial images stored?
Who has access to them? Are shoppers notified in advance? Can shoppers opt out?
retailwire.com
Editor's Note: We would have never seen this just two years ago.
But with the increased violence, mass shooters, and robberies continuing and the
customer surveys all showing their prioritizing safety and security, coupled
with the customer experience being such a critical element in the path to
purchase, retailers and even the media are on the verge of doing an about
face on LP's use of facial recognition's in retail. Just my thoughts
Retail Tops All Industries in Compliance
KPMG: 2019 Chief Compliance Officer Survey
Across all industries, an intensely heightened awareness of ethical behavior
has elevated the need for executive leadership in the areas of ethics and
compliance, and it is prompting change.
KPMG's 2019 CCO Survey: Insights for the future of ethics and compliance explores
how most organizations, independent of industry, are taking ethics and
compliance risks seriously. Based on a survey of 220 chief ethics and
compliance officers (CCOs) representing the largest organizations across
multiple industries, the report identifies mature ethics and compliance areas
and offers guidance for improvement where programs still need to advance.
The survey found a consensus across all industries on top compliance
activities to enhance, refine, and integrate.
Recent high profile ethics failures illustrate the real impact of reputation
risk and firms are seeking to avoid these costs by strengthening their
abilities to mitigate the risk of misconduct. Organizations' focus on
investigations, ethics, and training supports this goal: Investigations to
identify trends and root causes; ethics to clarify what is the "right thing to
do" and to reinforce accountability for failure to do so; and training
 to
reinforce the firm's values and controls through meaningful example.
Chief Compliance Officers reported evolving program maturation due to
heightened public, investor, and board awareness of ethics-related issues, as
well as converging business models.
Retail tops all industries in "strongly agreeing" across all survey
questions indicate increasing program maturation.

CEO of Merchant Payment Processor "CPS" Guilty
Overbilling Fraud
Southern District of New York: MICHAEL MENDLOWITZ, 44, of Woodmere, NY,
the former CEO and part owner of a payment-processing company that operated
under various names, including Commerce Payment Systems ("CPS"), for
defrauding its merchant customers.
"Michael Mendlowitz preyed on small business owners, defrauding thousands of
them. Mendlowitz's victims got sold a bill of goods and were duped into
overpaying."
Thousands of small businesses located throughout the country, were
charged all manner of hidden and increased rates and fees. In furtherance of the
fraud, MENDLOWITZ directed senior employees of CPS to significantly increase
rates on customer accounts with no disclosure to customers that they would in
fact be charged those increased rates. In addition, MENDLOWITZ deleted three
pages from the customers' contracts that contained terms and conditions that
directly contradicted representations made to customers during the sales
process. As part of the fraud scheme, MENDLOWITZ falsely told representatives of
CPS's parent company that those terms and conditions had been provided to
customers. Facing a maximum term of 20 years in prison.
Richard Hart, 39, of East Meadow, New York, a CPS sales manager, previously pled
guilty before Judge Broderick to one count of conspiracy to commit an offense
against the United States.

Fighting counterfeit products through microscopic imagery
 An effective product authentication system, then, has great potential to help
retailers. It can significantly reduce the possibility of buying and selling
fraudulent products, everything from batteries to high-end luxury goods, and can
lead to increased sales as consumers become more confident about the
authenticity of products. Employees spend less time authenticating goods, which
reduces operating costs; above all else, the brand's integrity is protected.
Ryan Smith, senior director of online operations for Goodwill of Orange County,
Calif., has been using such a system for several months and says it has
"really increased the efficiencies and the accuracy of our authentications."

The Rise of Return Fraud and How Retailers Are
Fighting Back
Sophisticated counterfeits and a culture of hassle-free returns have created an
expensive problem for retailers.
UK luxury department store Selfridges adds step to stop counterfeit returns.
Starting last year, they began taking photos of minute details of certain
products, such as a button on a coat or a bag's embossed leather. When a
customer returns an item, a warehouse employee or store assistant can take a
similar image, then use software to compare it against the original for tiny
discrepancies that might point to a forgery.
The system was designed by Entrupy, a software firm started in 2012, which began
testing its approach with Selfridges last year. The idea is that every item
has unique physical characteristics, often invisible to the naked eye, that
can be used to determine whether it is real or counterfeit. "Think of it just
like a fingerprint system."
So far in 2019, out of the 18,000 items Selfridges ran through Entrupy's
software, 30 were flagged as potential fakes. Those items, which included a bag
retailing for over $2,100, were then sent for additional testing (some turned
out to be genuine).

Walmart's
Red, Blue &
Purple Cyber Security Teams
Walmart cybersecurity team handles over 200 billion events annually
Walmart recently held its third annual Sp4rkCon (pronounced "Spark Con")
Information Security conference in Bentonville at the David Glass Technology
Center. About 1,000 people attended the full-day conference, the majority of
whom did not work for the retail giant. Walmart said it holds the free seminar
to convene small businesses and other cybersecurity professionals regardless of
the industry they serve. Any business that stores customer data is at risk for a
data breach.
WALMART GAMEPLAN
 Adam Ely, vice president and deputy chief information security officer at
Walmart, said 40% of the time when a small business gets hacked "they are
done." Ely is one of 600 people who work in Walmart's Information Security
division. The information security team is based around the world, and Ely is
based in Silicon Valley.
Walmart needs the massive team to run interference against hackers seeking to
breach the company's 500,000 network devices, 38,000 servers, three global data
centers and 250 million customer transactions per week.
Walmart said its cybersecurity team handles more than 200 billion events each
year and places considerable resources into keeping its vast data networks
safe from hackers. Ely said Walmart protects its own data and stores from
hackers, in addition to protecting the 16 startups it has acquired over the past
three years.
One way Walmart said it accomplishes that task is by assigning employees to a
"red" team that works to continually test the
system by trying to hack into it. Other employees are assigned to a
"blue" team that continually works to defend
against attacks from the red team and the real threats from outside hackers.
About two years ago, Walmart began to employ a "purple"
team to maximize the benefits from the blue and red teams who constantly
work against each other.
Jason O'Dell, senior director of incident management at Walmart, is
responsible for the company's data assurance, cyberintelligence and incident
response across Walmart's 11,300 stores in 27 countries and weekly customers and
2.2 million employees. He said running a "purple" team approach was necessary at Walmart because of the company's large size.
"We have 3 million IP addresses on our network and over 2.2 million employees.
If 0.0001% of our associates were malicious we'd have 230 malicious insiders,"
O'Dell said. "It has taken us two years to change the mindset and effectively
run a 'purple' team strategy getting the best from the red and blue teams so
that 1 + 1 = 3."
Continuing, he noted, "The first attempt was like a dumpster fire. But over time
we have done a much better job with the 'purple' team approach predicting
threats and defending against them."

Cybersecurity's Milestone Moment - Changes
Everything
Moody's Downgrade of Equifax: A Wake-up Call to Boards
Wall Street has been abuzz this week over drastic measures by credit ratings
agency Moody's to downgrade its rating of Equifax, with expensive data breach
fallout named as a major factor for the poor marks. While the action was not
unexpected, the landmark nature of the downgrade should provide some
needed emphasis to both boards of directors and CISOs of the modern business
imperative for cyber resilience, security and risk experts say.
 "They definitely need to do more than ask the CISO some high-level questions.
Equifax is in the hot seat now, but most of the Fortune 500 CEOs and CISOs would
do no better in the same situation."
"This is the first time the fallout from a breach has moved the needle
enough to contribute to the change" in ratings outlook.
Security insiders say that this Moody's action should not only be a wake-up
call to CEOs and boards, but it's also a crucial inflection point for CISOs.
"This incident changes how business will look at cybersecurity, so
cybersecurity needs to change how it talks to business," he says.

Lapse in LinkedIn security certificate update
For the second time in three years, Microsoft-owned professional networking site
LinkedIn has failed to update a transport layer security (TLS) certificate,
putting users at risk of phishing attacks.
It appears that LinkedIn had
renewed the certificate on 10 May, according to Qualys, but not updated the
server accordingly, resulting in the browser errors.
In a statement, LinkedIn said there had been a "brief delay" in its certificate
update, and that the issue had been resolved quickly and no user data was
affected.

Influential Hacker Has Tips on How to Do
Cybersecurity Better
"It is back to basics, truly," Mr. Song told WSJ Pro during a networking event
at the Collision technology conference, which drew more than 25,000 people to
Toronto this week. "What companies fall victim to are known basic gaps, not
patched for years and years."
Companies often fail to address basic security mandates, such as maintaining an
accurate and complete inventory of what is on their networks. Such lapses, he
said, reflect a misunderstanding of how hacking has evolved.
"Smart attacks focus on users, not systems," Mr. Song said. But he thinks
companies overinvest in advanced technology while giving short shrift to vital
areas of defense such as identity verification, he said. Duo focuses on that
area, which includes strategies like multifactor authentication. The company
also assesses the health of devices.
Companies may fail to understand that hackers increasingly collect vast amounts
of data in indiscriminate fashion. They are often less inclined to pursue
specific targets. "So attackers have a field day spraying and praying.
They collect huge amounts of data, just as businesses do," Mr. Song said.
The reality is that smaller, undetected breaches occur all of the time, he
added.
People neglect to employ strong passwords or update software because they just
don't see themselves as targets, he said: "It is hard for people to understand"
that often individual companies or people aren't being singled out, but that
hackers are attacking many targets and seeing what they can get.

WHITEPAPER: Learn how Under Armour introduced a game-changing loss prevention strategy
After establishing a new standard for electronic
article surveillance (EAS) technology for its North American stores, Under
Armour does have one lingering regret. "I could kick myself for not discovering
this solution sooner," said Sean Donnelly, Sr. Director of Global Retail Asset
Protection and Investigations for the premier activewear giant.
"My
advice to other AP leaders is to not write things off by thinking that something
looks too good to be true. Be open to challenging the status quo and willing to
put new solutions to the test. We learned that openness pays big dividends, and
it's an important part of servicing any rapidly growing business that prides
itself on innovation."

Online Advertising Fraud In 2019:
$42 Billion Is Expected To Go Down The Drain Worldwide
Driven by Evolving Tactics by Fraudsters
According to the
recent report from Juniper Research, online advertising fraud in 2019 is
expected to result in the loss of $42 billion in revenue. Nearly 40% of the
loss due to advertising fraud would be by America alone. The Far East and China
is not far away though and is estimated to account for 30% of the total digital
advertising fraud in 2019.
The report, however, highlights some worrisome scenarios of the future as well.
Despite all the measures employed by online advertising giants, like Google and
Facebook, to curb online fraudsters, the number of online advertising frauds is
only expected to rise. The report of Juniper Research estimates that due to
online advertising fraud in 2023 a whopping $100 billion would go down the
drain.
Leading digital ad networks are constantly learning and improving their ad
serving mechanism to refrain from the menace of ad fraud that comes with digital
advertising. However, with the advent of technologies like Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning, fraudsters are equipped with more
innovative ways to trick ad servers, eventually resulting in a wipeout of a
huge chunk of the advertising budget of brands.
The report claims fraudsters will gravitate to advanced techniques such as
spoofing advertising networks to falsify ad clicks and displayed ads, rather
than labour-intensive activities such as app install farms. Juniper forecasts
that advertisers will only save $16 billion of potential lost ad spend to
fraud; owing to a lack of adoption of anti-fraud solutions from smaller
advertisers and the increasingly complex tactics of fraudsters.

CB Insights: Four industries that Amazon will
disrupt in the next five years
1. Pharmacies
Pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS have already seen their retail revenues
suffer from the rise of Amazon's convenient "everything store." Today, they have
a new challenge: In addition to disrupting their "front of store," Amazon is
angling to disrupt their core business of drug distribution.
Amazon's acquisition of a $100 million-plus business with pharmacy licenses in
all 50 states caused the tickers of Walgreens, CVS, and Rite-Aid to lose about
$11 billion in value overnight.
2. Small business lending: A direct, data-driven source of financing
Amazon took its first steps into commercial loans back in 2011, when the company
began offering small-business loans to merchants participating in its Amazon
Marketplace via its new Amazon Lending arm. Between 2011 and 2017, Amazon loaned
more than $3 billion in short-term loans to merchants in the United States,
United Kingdom, and Japan.
3. Online groceries: Faster delivery and better logistics
In 1998, Jeff Bezos and his biggest VC advocate, John Doerr, began investing in
promising dotcom startups trying to bring the grocery store online. Most would
go bankrupt but the experience seeded Amazon's future ambition to dominate the
US grocery industry, estimated to be worth more than $800B. Today, that project,
Amazon Fresh, has merged with the 2-hour Prime Now delivery service.
4. Payments: Giving small merchants a cheaper option
Amazon has been building out a presence in the payments space for years, with
Amazon Cash, Amazon Reload, Amazon Pay, and Amazon Prime Visa. If Amazon can
create a payments channel that's good for Amazon consumers and saves merchants
money, it could have the edge it needs to disrupt the payments industry in a
tectonic way.

Omaha, NE: Suspected shoplifting escalates to car
chase
Mall Security Guard charged with Terroristic Threats
A shoplifting incident escalated into a car chase and gunfire Wednesday night,
according to an Omaha Police report Thursday. An off-duty mall security guard
in plain clothes chased down three people he suspected of shoplifting and
was later arrested after he threatened to shoot them, OPD said Thursday. An
off-duty Douglas County Sheriff's deputy called into OPD dispatch at 10:16 p.m.
Wednesday requesting assistance after observing an SUV attempting to run a
minivan off the road.
 According
to the OPD report, three van occupants jumped out and fled the area when the
vehicle slowed . Witnesses said the deputy fired his weapon at the van when the
driver accelerated toward the deputy, ignoring orders to stop. All occupants of
the van - one adult and two minors - were apprehended. The three told
investigators they had stolen items from a mall department store before the
security guard, identified as William Budka-Gray, 26, tried to stop them at the
mall, then followed them in a white SUV. They told police that during the
chase, Budka-Gray yelled: "Stop or I'll shoot you." They said they thought
the man had a gun in his hand and were afraid they would be shot, the report
states. According to the report, investigators said they did not find a gun in
the SUV. Budka-Gray was in jail Thursday booked on three counts of terroristic
threats.

Flexibility and molding to the environment you're in is the first step towards
integration and inclusion. In order to be absolutely effective, an executive
must first become one with their surroundings and mold to what it is as opposed
to expecting them to mold to you. Seeing and hearing those subtle differences is
the key and changing to it becomes the objective. Once modified, you then have
the freedom to influence change and make a difference.
Just a Thought,
Gus
