COVID Fake News Impact By Guess Who
Fake Online Info/News Impacting Contact Tracing Efforts
Viral Facebook Post Claiming Feds Can
Forcibly Remove You From Homes Challenges Contact Tracers
A viral Facebook post falsely claiming new federal legislation would allow
the government to forcibly remove people from their homes is an example of
one of the many messaging challenges facing Georgia's growing team of contact
tracers.
The state Department of Public Health wants to quadruple the number of tracers
it employs in the weeks ahead, to upwards of 1,000, as it looks to
contain the spread of COVID-19. It's now embarking on a mini public relations
campaign to explain to Georgians what contact tracing is - and clear up a bevy
of misconceptions about the kind of information the state is collecting.
Winning the buy-in of the public is critical. Tracers' jobs depend on
people who test positive for COVID-19 to disclose sensitive information: their
close contacts. The tracers then reach out to those contacts, urge them to
isolate for 14 days and report their symptoms, which are fed into the state's
communicable disease tracking system.

Calif's "Army of Disease Detectives"
California Rushes to Build an Army of Coronavirus Detectives
State health officials have launched an unprecedented effort to train
thousands of front-line, county-level workers to act as a firewall to
stop the coronavirus from roaring back this fall.
Gov. Gavin Newsom calls them his "army of disease detectives."
Each tracer is receiving 20 hours of online training. Newsom said the state
already had more than 2,800 tracers on hand and another 500 had been trained
in recent weeks, ready to be deployed.
The state health department announced that each county should have 15 contact
tracers per 100,000 residents before it reopens restaurants and stores for
interior patronage.
San Diego County is advertising now for temporary contact tracers, offering
$19.50 an hour (the equivalent of $40,000 a year full time). Other counties
have issued help wanted ads. In Shasta County, a disease specialist at the top
end of scale can make up to $70,000. In Sacramento County, a senior communicable
disease investigator can make $66,000.

Online Fraud is Soaring - Up 35% in April & Continuing
into May
Borrower, Beware: Credit-Card Fraud Attempts Rise During the Coronavirus Crisis
Emboldened fraudsters are mounting phishing
attacks & attempting purchases with card numbers stolen in old hacks
Fraudsters are increasingly using pilfered credit-card numbers and phishing
attacks to prey on overwhelmed consumers and banks during the coronavirus
pandemic.
&uuid=(email))
There has been a big jump in attempted credit- and debit-card fraud since
coronavirus shut down the U.S. economy earlier this year, according to Fidelity
National Information Services Inc., known as FIS, which assists about 3,200 U.S.
banks with fraud monitoring. The dollar volume of attempted fraudulent
transactions rose 35% in April from a year earlier, FIS said, a trend that
appears to be continuing in May.
Most of the fraudulent transactions were caught before they hit cardholders'
accounts, FIS said, but the spike in attempts presents another challenge for
consumers and their lenders muddling through the worst economic crisis since
the Great Depression.
A rise in successful fraud attempts could lead to higher losses for card
issuers and, ultimately, higher costs for consumers.
"This is going to hit everyone very hard," said Krista Tedder, head of
payments at Javelin Strategy & Research, which advises card issuers on security
issues.

Grocery
Chains Struggling
COVID Transparency - Employee Privacy & Safety
'On front lines of pandemic, grocery workers are in the dark about virus risks'
Washington Post Investigative Effort Uncovers The 'Privacy Issues'
 Despite
the pandemic, grocery stores generally are not required to publicly disclose
coronavirus cases involving employees or report them to local health
departments. As states now move to reopen, many grocers are being criticized by
health officials, lawmakers and store employees for not being more open with the
public and their own workers about outbreaks within their stores.
The Washington Post interviewed about 40 current and former employees at more
than 30 supermarkets who alleged that the companies had not disclosed cases
of infected or dead workers, retaliated against employees who raised safety
concerns, and used faulty equipment to implement coronavirus mitigation
measures.
The $800 billion grocery industry - dominated by a handful of major players,
including Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons - employs more than 3 million people in
what are typically low-paying positions with little job security.
At least 100 grocery workers nationwide have died of complications from
the virus since late March, and at least 5,500 others have tested positive,
according to a Post review of data from the nation's largest grocery workers
union, other workers' rights coalitions and media reports.
Many local health officials told The Post they have been left in the dark as
clusters of cases have emerged in supermarkets coast to coast.

Calif. Face Recognition Bill Has Security Exception
California Activists Ramp Up Fight Against Facial-Recognition Technology
A Microsoft-backed bill to regulate the
technology mirrors law in Washington state
Supporters of the legislation say it will impose much-needed guardrails on
nascent tools that could grow in prominence if businesses and authorities start
using the technology to respond to the coronavirus. But activists argue the
legislation will open the door for expanded surveillance in the public and
private sectors.
The bill calls for companies and agencies that use facial recognition tools in
areas accessible to the public to "provide a conspicuous and contextually
appropriate notice" that faces may get scanned.
The legislation also allows companies and agencies using the technology to store
images of faces in databases for future use if they obtain consent,
though
there is an exception when a "security or safety purpose" is involved.
The Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection approved Mr. Chau's bill by an
8-to-3 vote. the bill moves to the Assembly Appropriations Committee in early
June and a potential floor vote in the chamber later that month.
The bill, which would be enforced by the state attorney general's office, would
require annual reports by agencies that use the technology and would require
vendors to share technical details of their tools to be tested for accuracy.

Surveilling employees who work from home could do more harm than good
Virtually looking over employees' shoulders
isn't just bad for privacy. Research shows it could also be bad for business.
As
The Washington Post,
NPR, and
The New York Times have reported, computer monitoring software products
such as Interguard and Time Doctor have flourished during the coronavirus
pandemic as companies try to keep tabs on far-flung workers. Count digital
monitoring of employees as yet another existing work trend accelerated by
COVID-19.
Some academic research shows that it may be counterproductive, echoing
what remote work advocates say is common sense. Tracking employees through their
computers, especially in an indiscriminate way, risks creating new distractions,
sinking employee morale, and increasing turnover. Without better ways of
measuring employee output, companies might only be bringing toxic work
environments home.

California Reopens In-Store Shopping Statewide Amid Coronavirus
Retail is back, with some restrictions, as
are hair salons and barbers in most counties.
Governor Gavin Newsom made some of the more dramatic changes to California's
technically ongoing lockdown by lifting the closure of in-store shopping for the
broader retail industry, which had been only allowed to offer curbside pickup
for the last several weeks. Before being able to operate curbside, nonessential
retail businesses had been forced to close for nearly two months.
"You have the option to go into a store now, with modifications," Newsom said in
a daily teleconference.

No Clear State or Federal Guidance on Employers Role
What Role Should Employers Play in Testing Workers?
Amazon plans to spend as much as $1 billion this year to regularly test its work
force,and build its own lab near the Cincinnati airport.
"It is a really hard conversation because people want absolutes: 'If I do this,
will it guarantee I'll have a safe workplace?' None of the testing is going to
provide that right now," said John Constantine, the chief executive of ARCPoint
Franchise Group, a nationwide lab network offering virus testing to employers.
He added that if done smartly, testing could reduce health risks. "Even if it's
not perfect, some testing is better than no testing."
Despite rapid advancements in testing, there are still limitations. Diagnostic
tests, for example, only detect infections during a certain period. And while
blood tests administered after an infection can find antibodies that might offer
some immunity, they should not be used alone to make decisions about when people
can return to work, the Association of Public Health Laboratories and Council of
State and Territorial Epidemiologists warned this month.

Enterprise clouds hammered by cyber attacks during pandemic
Remote workers logging onto enterprise cloud
service accounts are an easy access point for attackers, says McAfee
That is according to new statistics produced by cyber security firm McAfee
using data drawn from 30 million users of its Mvision Cloud service. The
Cloud adoption and risk report - work-from-home edition highlights what McAfee
describes as "significant" and "potentially long-lasting" trends as the
usage of cloud services, often accessed via unmanaged devices, spikes during
lockdown.
It said such trends emphasised the need for security delivery models to change
fundamentally, and urgently.
The report highlighted that cloud-based unified communications and collaboration
tools, such as Cisco WebEx, Microsoft Teams and Zoom, as well as
Microsoft Office 365, were particularly at risk from attacks - which most often
take the form of large-scale attempts to access accounts using stolen
credentials.

Rise in Retail-Focused Phishing Campaigns During Pandemic
As the image below demonstrates, there has been a significant increase in the
number of phishing campaigns in the first half of this year. A small part of the
increase can be attributed to better collection capabilities than in 2019, but
the majority of the increase is because of an increase in activity. Note the
increase in retail-focused phishing campaigns in December of 2019, which is
consistent with expected phishing activity associated with the Christmas
holiday. Normally, there is a steep dropoff in this activity starting in
January, but that did not occur.
To put the numbers in context, from March 1 through April 30 of 2020, Recorded
Future tracked 7,934 retail-focused phishing campaigns, versus 4,319 in 2019 -
an 83% increase in campaigns.

WFH challenges, concerns, strategies and anticipated outcomes.
The research indicates that three-quarters of businesses now have more than 76
percent of their employees working from home compared to just under 25 percent
at the close of 2019. While a third of respondents cited their business being
"ill prepared or not prepared" for remote working, 75% of businesses were able
to transition to remote working within 15 days.

Canada's
Mask Debate Continues
Some Stores Require
Coverings, Others Worry it Could Help Criminals
Stores Fear Face Coverings Could Drive Robberies
Some retailers push for face masks, others are concerned about crime impact
'Lower your mask before entering,' some
stores ask
 Face
masks aren't mandatory in Canada, but some retailers are pushing for customers
to wear them to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Costco, Marshalls, Winners
and Old Navy are among some of the retailers asking Canadian shoppers to put on
a face mask before shopping in their stores.
Jim Cormier with the Retail Council of Canada says what might work for one
location could be more difficult for another. "We appreciate the fact that it
has been guidance, but not mandates in this case," said Cormier.
One particular issued being raised about face masks is the safety of employees
-- but not from COVID-19. Some convenience stores in the Halifax area are
asking customers to temporarily lower their masks
before entering the store so they can be easily identified.
On Monday, Halifax Regional Police released photos of a man suspected of robbing
an Irving gas station on Fairfax Drive on April 6. Police say the man, who
was wearing a medical mask, demanded money and threatened the staff with a
knife, though no knife was seen.

Toronto-Based AI Company 'Predictmedix' Launches COVID-19 Screening Technology
for Retailers
 Toronto-based
artificial intelligence (AI) firm Predictmedix has launched screening
technologies that will assist businesses by detecting potential COVID-19
infection and other illnesses. The versatile technology will also be used to
scan physical spaces to ensure that people are following protocol such as
physical distancing and the mandated wearing of face masks.
Earlier this month, Predictmedix filed for a US patent for COVID-19 testing and
the technology is being offered to businesses as the world shifts into a new
normal. The ground-breaking technology has a wide range of uses and the
publicly traded company is expected to see a rapid increase in its share price
in the coming weeks amid increased awareness and retailer adoption.
One of the most encouraging new developments for Predictmedix is mass
screening for COVID-19. Retailers, restaurants, landlords, and any
business with a physical presence will be able to utilize the AI technology
to screen for symptoms of the coronavirus as well as for other illnesses.

locations set to reopen over the next two weeks.
The
Canada-based company said it has put into place new safety precautions in
stores, which will operate with modified hours. Associates are
required to wear face masks, while cleaning and sanitization practices

Coronavirus highlights the need for a surveillance debate beyond 'privacy'
The pandemic has stirred up a surveillance
storm
 The
coronavirus pandemic has stirred up a surveillance storm. Researchers rush to
develop new forms of public health monitoring and tracking, but releasing
personal data to private companies and governments carries risks to our
individual and collective rights. COVID-19 opens the lid on a much-needed
debate.
Surveillance and profit
Zuboff insists that a new mode of economic accumulation has been rapidly
emerging ever since internet-based platforms - led by Google - discovered how to
monetize the so-called "data exhaust" exuded by everyday online communications:
searches, posts, tweets, texts. Beyond the loss of privacy, she sees the
destruction of democracy and behavioural modification, citing a former
Facebook product manager who says the "fundamental purpose" of data workers is
to influence and alter people's moods and behaviour.
It's not just CCTV cameras, it's also smart devices
Yes, it's our laptops, phones and tablets. Surveillance is now digital and
data-driven. For too long, the stereotypical icon of surveillance has been the
video camera. But today, what deserves to be the stereotypical icon is the smartphone. This, above all, connects the individual with corporations that not
only collect but analyze, sort, categorize, trade and use the data we each
produce. Without our permission, our data are examined and used by others to
influence, manage or govern us.
It's not just the state, it's the market
While the state and its agencies often overreach through intelligence and
policing strategies, it is the market and not the state that holds the cards
in the surveillance game.
Surveillance is for sorting -

People who steal shopping carts could be fined under proposed Moncton bylaw
A proposed bylaw in Moncton would allow the city to fine people for taking
shopping carts from downtown businesses, something two councillors worried would
see the city fining homeless people.
The draft bylaw would allow the city to issue fines between $140 and $2,100
to people who remove a shopping cart from the premises of the business that owns
the cart.
The bylaw, drafted because of a potential "blight" of abandon carts, could
also fine the businesses whose carts were taken.

Amazon's Logistics Powerhouse
Amazon Delivers 50% of Their Own Packages Now
Amazon is the fourth‑largest US delivery
service & growing fast
Amazon has invested $60 billion since 2014 in building out fulfillment
warehouses, leasing airplanes and buying delivery vans.
Amazon leased 97% of its fulfillment and data center space in 2019, the
retailer said in its annual report.
Amazon is approaching a truly vertically integrated logistics network on par
with the largest delivery companies in the world.
What's more, Amazon may compete more aggressively in the years ahead with
its Amazon Shipping service to
deliver orders for other online retailers, including those that do not
sell on Amazon's online marketplace.
However, the report notes retail competitors may hesitate to hand over
fulfillment to Amazon now that it is a major rival in many merchandise
categories: "Other B2C [business-to-consumer] retailers may not want to ship
with Amazon, so Amazon may have to look to the B2B [business-to-business] market
to grow its non-Amazon shipping business."
Amazon's growing warehouse and delivery center network
Amazon now operates nearly 500 logistics facilities in the U.S. covering 173
million square feet and another 1,100 globally that cover 262 million square
feet.
•
10 receiving centers - shipping merchandise to 773,000 square feet 170
fulfillment centers. More than 200,000 robots assist employees at 50
of these sortable centers.
•
Packages destined for consumers outside of a fulfillment center's region
are sent to one of 20 air hubs where cargo planes fly parcels around the
country.
•
Amazon operates 40 cargo planes and plans to expand to 70 planes by 2023.
•
Whether from an air hub or a fulfillment center, packages go to one of 49
U.S. sortation centers, each averaging 340,000 square feet,
•
Last-mile delivery is handled by delivery stations-Amazon has about
200 delivery stations in the U.S. and plans to open another 84 in 2020.
Averaging 129,000 square feet, employ 200-300 workers and are located near
airports of major cities.

Manchester, NJ: Arrested Fugitive Led Ocean Co. Burglary Ring; over $100,000 in
ATV's, Cigarettes, CBD Products stolen
 The
arrest of Craig Orler who had been on the run for nearly two days culminated an
investigation that led to the dismantling of a commercial burglary ring,
Manchester police said Friday. The commercial burglaries occurred over the span
of 3 months and resulted in the theft of vehicles, trailers, outdoor power
equipment, cartons of cigarettes, CBD products, and cash with a combined
estimated value of about $100,000, he said. The trio was identified during a
three-month investigation by Manchester, Toms River, and Berkeley Township
detectives into the burglaries. Bendyna was arrested without incident on
Wednesday in Philadelphia; Bowman remains at large and is believed to be in the
Philadelphia area. The investigation led to the identification of three
addresses, two storage units and two vehicles used to store the stolen
equipment/merchandise between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Orler, who has an
extensive criminal history, faces multiple charges for money laundering, being
the leader of an organized retail theft enterprise, burglary, theft, criminal
mischief, eluding police, resisting arrest, and possession of a control
dangerous substance.

Man arrested for fatal shooting at Kroger in west Louisville on Sunday
 In
a release, Louisville Metro Police said 21-year-old Carl B. Hardin III was
arrested for the shooting that happened at the Kroger store on West Broadway.
Police say Hardin got into a fight near the gas pumps at the store, when Hardin
drew a handgun and fired the gun several times hitting and killing a man the
coroner identified as 37-year-old Dayshwan Tolbert. Investigators say multiple
people were behind Tolbert, when he was shot. LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell
says in the release, "this created circumstances manifesting extreme
indifference to the value of human life. All were placed in substantial danger
of death or serious physical injuries." Hardin faces an additional charge of
wanton endangerment.

Your success is directly tied to the relationships you have with your stores,
with your colleagues, and with your vendors. The ability to develop, nurture,
and grow those relationships is critical if you expect to deliver the results
you need. And as in the case of all relationships, it's also about what you
bring to the table and the value you add. Oftentimes, one's biggest challenge is
usually driven by your weakest or worst relationship and over time those are the
ones that'll have the biggest impact. So take the time to access them and
remember it's never too late to try to change one.
Just a Thought,
Gus
