The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Smart Staffing & Tech Can Tackle Theft Without Frustrating Shoppers
How retailers can fight theft without hurting customer experience

Locked cases drive potential customers to online alternatives. Helpful associates assist customers while inconveniencing crooks.

More and more retailers are locking products inside cabinets to prevent theft. While this approach can thwart would-be thieves, it can also frustrate customers who have to wait for assistance to access common products.

Theft prevention doesn't have to come at the cost of customer experience. A combination of smart staffing practices and carefully applied technology can form a better deterrent than putting products under lock and key.

Security cabinets don't always work, and can have a negative impact on margins. Thieves still have ways to nab locked up items, while honest shoppers will take their business elsewhere, experts told sister publication CX Dive.

Attentive associates thwart criminals

Retailers can improve customer experience and deter thieves at the same time by having more workers on the floor. Associates can't stop truly determined and organized thieves altogether, according to Elverston. However, a majority of would-be criminals can be stopped by a helpful worker simply walking up and asking if they need help finding something.

Cameras and AI work well together

Computer vision, computers trained by AI to identify and track items and people, can tap into existing networks to detect suspicious activity more effectively than a human could.

AI-powered theft solutions detect actions commonly associated with theft, such as a customer hiding items in their cart, and can notify staff if needed, Elverston said. This lets them deter crime without impacting honest customers' shopping experience retaildive.com


Will the CA Governor Step in to Save the Anti-Crime Effort?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom urged to halt progressives' 'scheming' to derail popular anti-crime initiative
California Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley and the rest of the state's Republican delegation are calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Democrats to drop what they say is "cynical political scheming" to legislatively undermine a popular bipartisan anti-crime effort.

On Tuesday, the Secretary of State's Office announced voters will have their chance to repeal key portions of the controversial Prop. 47 law - which significantly lowered the penalties for certain categories of drug and theft crimes - in the November general election after the petition garnered more than 600,000 valid petition signatures to secure a spot on the ballot. The initiative only needed 546,651 to qualify, according to the state secretary's office.

But Newsom and Golden State Democrats oppose the initiative and are working to fast-track their own public safety bills pertaining to curbing criminal retail theft without reforming Prop. 47. Some Democrats plan to introduce inoperability clauses into the set of proposed public safety bills to prevent them from going into effect if voters approve the Prop 47 reforms. They contend that it's a way to ensure there aren't any inconsistencies in the law.

"This measure will repeal the most problematic provisions of Proposition 47 from 2014. It is a vitally needed policy correction to address the growing problems of retail theft, open-air drug markets, and homelessness in our state," Kiley wrote in a letter to Newsom on Tuesday.

The California Republican added that not only have hundreds of thousands of Californians signed the petition, but it has also received bipartisan support from lawmakers such as San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, San Francisco Mayor London Breed and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. yahoo.com

Gun Homicides Down 16% Since 2021 - But Still 16% Higher Than Pre-COVID
Early 2024 Data Show Promising Signs of Another Historic Decline in Gun Violence

U.S. gun homicides are declining dramatically, down 13.1 percent since 2023 and 16.4 percent since 2021.

Earlier this year, the Center for American Progress released an analysis of 2023 gun violence data showing a historic overall single-year decline in gun homicides across the country. This decline was precipitated, however, by a record surge in gun violence at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which gun murders increased by 45 percent between 2019 and 2021.

Consequently, even with the historic decline in the U.S. murder and gun homicide rates in 2023, gun violence was still elevated last year nationally compared with pre-pandemic levels. Furthermore, while a majority of U.S. states and major cities experienced fewer gun homicides in 2023 than in 2022, the CAP analysis showed, on average, that gun homicides fell much faster in states with the strongest gun laws, while states with the weakest gun laws saw marginal improvements to public safety, if any.

As of April 30, 2024, there are more positive signs that gun violence is continuing to trend downward at a historic rate. According to a new CAP analysis of Gun Violence Archive (GVA) data, gun homicides are down by 13.1 percent nationally in 2024 compared with the same time in 2023.

Compared with 2021, which recorded the highest annual rate of gun violence since the early 1990s, YTD gun homicides in 2024 are down by 16.4 percent. Overall, however, gun homicide rates are still 16 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Mass shootings are down 29.3 percent in 2024 YTD compared with 2023 YTD.

Gun violence is down in most large U.S. cities: 70 of the 100 most populous U.S. cities and 37 of the 50 most populous U.S. cities have experienced the same number of or fewer gun violence victimizations in 2024 YTD compared with 2023 YTD. americanprogress.org

70% of Shoppers Will Increase In-Store Shopping
In-store shopping still critical for consumers

Majority of shoppers expecting to increase in-store shopping in next 6 months.

In-store shopping remains a fixture of most consumer's routines, with more than 80% preferring to purchase groceries in-store and more than 45% choosing to shop in-store at discount, convenience, home improvement and apparel stores, according to a survey by SPAR Group.

Seven-in-10 shoppers expect to increase shopping in stores in the next six months, which SPAR says is in line with the most recent U.S. consumer confidence statistics. Walmart ranks as the best shopping experience by 23% of respondents, with consumers ages 25-54 having the strongest positive perceptions, according to the survey.

The ability to try on/demo products, select new products and plan meals are important motivators consumers give for shopping in-store. Once in the store, consumers rate customer service (71%), a speedy checkout (69%) and an engaging atmosphere (51%) as important attributes for a successful shopping experience.

More than half (55%) of consumers say product availability (out of stock, locked product) remains a challenge for stores, while 43% of consumers indicated that not enough store staff is an issue for the shopping experience. chainstoreage.com


The Link Between Psychological Safety & Safer Workplaces
The Psychology of Safety

New tools and strategies emerge to foster psychologically safer workplaces.

Discussions on the efficacy and importance of DEI in the workplace have reached a fever pitch. While the conversations on DEI are partially centered on politics, there is a fair amount of soul-searching by companies about how important these policies are. However, from a safety standpoint-viewing DEI as the foundation of psychological safety-these policies stand up to scrutiny.

What is necessary is for companies to clearly understand the link between psychological safety and a safer workplace in general. There are many ways to link psychological safety to physical safety. One of the common measurements is in terms of engagement.

"Workers often feel they can trust [EHS] professionals to listen, offer support and advocate for them," explained Kimberly Gamble, director of Andersen Construction's Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Advocacy and Leadership program, as part of a discussion on DEI facilitated by The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP). "With this trust, we can create teams that work collaboratively to not only improve physical safety but also psychological safety."  ehstoday.com


A Safer Warehouse Starts with an Engaged Workforce

To enhance warehouse safety, you must identify the limitations of the technologies you have deployed.

Emphasizing safety fundamentals is still vital to an effective safety program. This is even more important as the supply chain environment has become more dynamic and workforce challenges are introducing newer, less experienced operators to the workplace.

1. Identify the Limitations of Your Safety Technologies
2. Train Your Supervisors to be Safety Stewards
3. Reinforce Environmental Awareness with Your Forklift Operators
4. Ensure Your Operators Understand All the Forklifts They Drive

Impact of California's Fast Food Minimum Wage Hike
Evidence that California's new $20 fast food wage is hurting business
Foot traffic to McDonald's, Burger King, and In-N-Out Burger restaurants in California appeared to fall in the weeks after they raised prices to offset the state's new $20 minimum wage for workers at limited-service restaurants, new data shows.

Since April, year-over-year visit trends to fast-food chains in the Golden State have lagged behind national trends, suggesting that diners could be put off by the higher menu prices, per data from Placer.ai, which tracks foot traffic analytics. businessinsider.com

Prosegur presents the Fraud Circle:
A bold new approach to tackling internal fraud

Prosegur Research explores in-depth the psychological and contextual roots of internal fraud, marking a milestone in business security.


Prosegur, a global leader in comprehensive private security solutions, has published an innovative report shedding light on the complex world of internal fraud. Developed by Prosegur Research, the Fraud Circle provides groundbreaking insight into what motivates employees to steal from their employers, and thus how to combat it more effectively, in the process creating a business culture based on transparency and trust.

Explaining this innovative approach, José María Blanco, head of Prosegur Research said: "Contextual intelligence is not an option, it is a prevailing need. It allows us to unravel the complexities behind fraud, offering an overview that transcends conventional boundaries. The Fraud Circle is testament to our commitment to proactive and robust business security."

The Fraud Circle marks a milestone in the fight against internal fraud. This model identifies and analyzes the variables affecting business activity, while anticipating future trends, allowing companies to be one step ahead in preventing employee fraud. Transparency, trust and contextual intelligence are the pillars for an effective and proactive strategy, building the way towards a safer and more ethical business environment.

This study is part of a body of research on safety culture, focused on promoting a common philosophy in organizations to better adapt to the rapid change underway today. Prosegur Research reaffirms its commitment to protecting people and organizations, going one step further by shining a light on internal fraud and creating innovative tools to strengthen business resilience to emerging risks based on transparency and trust in employees.

The report moves away from conventional approaches, which have been reactive and limited, instead exploring uncharted territory, amalgamating the external context - global and social - with the internal - business - to offer a holistic and strategic perspective on fraud.

D.C. Grills Microsoft Over Cybersecurity Failures
Microsoft president to Congress: 'We accept responsibility' for cybersecurity failures
Microsoft "accepts responsibility for each and every one" of the issues cited in a scathing US government-backed report on the tech giant's cybersecurity failings, Microsoft President Brad Smith will tell US lawmakers Thursday, according to his prepared testimony.

"We acknowledge that we can and must do better, and we apologize and express our deepest regrets to those who have been impacted," reads Smith's testimony to the House Homeland Security Committee. He is set to testify before the panel Thursday afternoon in a hearing the committee says will assess the impact of Microsoft's "cybersecurity shortfalls" on homeland security.

Microsoft has been at the center of two sweeping hacking campaigns in the last year allegedly carried out by Chinese and Russian spies.

A report issued in April by the US Cyber Safety Review Board found that Microsoft committed a "cascade" of "avoidable errors" that allowed Chinese hackers to breach the tech giant's network and later the email accounts of senior US officials last year, including the secretary of commerce. The board is comprised of government and private cybersecurity experts led by the Department of Homeland Security.

Smith says Microsoft has for months been overhauling its cybersecurity practices, in part by implementing recommendations from the US government-backed board. cnn.com


Job Seekers Targeted by Phishing Campaign
New Phishing Campaign Deploys WARMCOOKIE Backdoor Targeting Job Seekers
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an ongoing phishing campaign that leverages recruiting- and job-themed lures to deliver a Windows-based backdoor named WARMCOOKIE.

"WARMCOOKIE appears to be an initial backdoor tool used to scout out victim networks and deploy additional payloads," Elastic Security Labs researcher Daniel Stepanic said in a new analysis. "Each sample is compiled with a hard-coded [command-and-control] IP address and RC4 key."

The backdoor comes with capabilities to fingerprint infected machines, capture screenshots, and drop more malicious programs. The company is tracking the activity under the name REF6127.

The attack chains observed since late April involve the use of email messages purporting to be from recruitment firms like Hays, Michael Page, and PageGroup, urging recipients to click on an embedded link to view details about a job opportunity.

Users who end up clicking on the link are then prompted to download a document by solving a CAPTCHA challenge, following which a JavaScript file ("Update_23_04_2024_5689382.js") is dropped. thehackernews.com


Windows, Android & macOS Targeted
Pakistan-linked Malware Campaign Evolves to Target Windows, Android, and macOS
Threat actors with ties to Pakistan have been linked to a long-running malware campaign dubbed Operation Celestial Force since at least 2018.

The activity, still ongoing, entails the use of an Android malware called GravityRAT and a Windows-based malware loader codenamed HeavyLift, according to Cisco Talos, which are administered using another standalone tool referred to as GravityAdmin.

The cybersecurity attributed the intrusion to an adversary it tracks under the moniker Cosmic Leopard (aka SpaceCobra), which it said exhibits some level of tactical overlap with Transparent Tribe.

"Operation Celestial Force has been active since at least 2018 and continues to operate today - increasingly utilizing an expanding and evolving malware suite - indicating that the operation has likely seen a high degree of success targeting users in the Indian subcontinent," security researchers Asheer Malhotra and Vitor Ventura said in a technical report shared with The Hacker News. thehackernews.com


Sevco State of the Cybersecurity Attack Surface Report Finds Enterprises Struggling with Environmental Vulnerabilities
Sevco Security, the asset intelligence company that delivers enterprise-wide visibility and prioritization across all classes of vulnerabilities, today announced the findings of The State of the Cybersecurity Attack Surface report, highlighting the prevalence of environmental vulnerabilities across enterprise networks.

The report, which examines data from 1.2 million IT assets, identifies the ways in which enterprises are struggling to get visibility into their IT assets, found that 28% of all IT assets are missing at least one critical control - either endpoint protection or patch management - and that 6% of IT assets have reached the end-of-life stage, creating instances of known-but-unpatched vulnerabilities.

The State of the Cybersecurity Attack Surface report details the ways that environmental vulnerabilities - vulnerabilities in the configuration or state of an IT environment, be they missing controls, unknown assets (shadow IT), or system software that is out of date and end-of-life - threaten enterprise networks, leaving paths to data exposed and companies susceptible to malicious actors. finance.yahoo.com

Victory for Amazon in the Union Fight
Appeals Court Throws Out Order Barring Amazon From Firing Pro-Union Employees
A Manhattan-based appeals court threw out a 2022 order Wednesday requiring Amazon to hold back from firing pro-union employees, according to court filings, after the judges on the panel previously expressed concerns about the specificity of the order.

A three-judge panel in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the 2022 decision did not sufficiently explain why the order was necessary, saying the district court "abused its discretion in issuing the cease-and-desist order."

U.S. District Judge Diane Gujarati issued the order in November 2022, which required Amazon to cease retaliation, including terminating, against pro-union employees, in response to the 2020 firing of Gerald Bryson, an Amazon union organizer who was terminated after a protest of alleged unsafe COVID-19 protocols in Amazon's JFK8 Staten Island warehouse.

Gujarati's decision, brought by a petition from the National Labor Relations Board, partially granted and denied the request, as Bryson was not reinstated.

The National Labor Relations Board declined to comment.

"This injunction was filed over two years ago, and throughout this time, we've maintained our position that it lacked merit and was purposefully timed to improperly influence the outcome of the JFK8 election," Amazon told Forbes in an emailed statement. "In fact, it was the first of the 25 election objections we filed. We're glad the court has reversed the order and the case has been thrown out." forbes.com


Amazon Falling Behind on AI?
How Amazon blew Alexa's shot to dominate AI, according to more than a dozen employees who worked on it

Former Amazon exec David Limp made Alexa a hit with consumers. But in the age of ChatGPT, Amazon's pioneering intelligent assistant can't keep up.

"Alexa, let's chat." With that phrase, David Limp, at the time Amazon's head of devices and services, showed off a new generative AI-powered version of the company's signature Alexa voice assistant in September 2023.

But after the event, there was radio silence-or digital assistant silence, as the case may be. The traditional Alexa voice never changed on the half-a-billion devices that have been sold globally, and little news emerged over the coming months about the new generative AI Alexa, other than recent reports about a potential launch later this year that could include a subscription charge.

The reason, according to interviews with more than a dozen former employees who worked on AI for Alexa, is an organization beset by structural dysfunction and technological challenges that have repeatedly delayed shipment of the new generative AI-powered Alexa. Overall, the former employees paint a picture of a company desperately behind its Big Tech rivals Google, Microsoft, and Meta in the race to launch AI chatbots and agents, and floundering in its efforts to catch up. fortune.com

Being too close to the trees to see the forest is an expression that also fits not appreciating the role you play on your own team. With the needs of the day seemingly always taking priority, it's difficult for some to step back and truly see the value you can add to your own team.

That's why that old expression - One for all and all for one - took such a hold in literature. Because it is that simple. The hard part is taking responsibility for it.
