'State of Emergency' for NYC Stores?
Man fatally stabbed after running into NYC bodega for help as violence plagues
Big Apple stores
A
man was viciously stabbed to death late Saturday after running into a Queens
bodega for help - the latest burst of violence that has neighborhood
stores in the Big Apple in "a state of emergency."
"The [workers] who were here last night, they quit," said Ali Alzokeri, a
cashier at Sammy's Gourmet Deli in Jamaica, to The Post on Sunday. "They
don't want to work here no more. It was bad."
The fatal assault occurred around 9:40 p.m. when the unidentified 40-year-old
victim ran into the small deli on Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica looking for help and
was stabbed multiple times in front of horrified store clerks, according to
police and a rep for small-shop merchants. Police sources said the slaying
stemmed from a dispute that spilled into the store.
For bodega owners, the bloody brawl was just the latest chapter in an ongoing
onslaught plaguing their stores. "Bodegas are not
equipped to save lives, and that must change," Fernando Mateo, head
of the United Bodegas of America, said in a statement Sunday. "UBA has declared
a state of emergency.
"We must remember bodegas are community centers to many of these communities,"
Mateo said. "Selling eggs, milk and beer is 65% of what we do. The other 35% is
helping our community and helping the NYPD solve crimes."
The safety of bodega workers has been a constant concern in the Big
Apple.
In January, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a $40 million
plan to help bodega and small-business owners, including about $5 million to
beef up security and police presence to combat shoplifting and
violence at the neighborhood stores. But Mateo said he's yet to see the
investment.
According to NYPD stats, robberies at bodegas and small stores in the city
had already more than doubled midway through 2022 compared to the same
period in 2021, with the small-time merchants repeatedly calling for help from
City Hall.

Philadelphia's ORC Explosion
ORC operations can take in more money than big box
stores
Organized retail crime explosion prompts city, suburbs to coordinate responses
in crack down of thefts
Organized retail theft, smash and grab, takeovers - this type of crime has been
around for years, but it's reached unprecedented levels. According to data
publicly available on the Philadelphia District Attorney's website, there were
13,595 reported thefts in 2022, 16,362 in 2023 and, so
far in 2024, more than 18,000.
Law enforcement doesn't call this type of theft shoplifting. It's "organized
retail crime."
"This is not randomly going into a store and stealing something, say, because
you're hungry or you're trying to bring something home to your family to feed
them that day. This is targeted," says Kimberly Esack, Assistant DA and
Supervisor of the Organized Retail and House Theft Task Force with the
Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.
Esack says those responsible for fencing the stolen goods create LLC names
and pop up online quickly to start selling online merchandise and can make
millions of dollars.
"They can take in more money than one of your big box stores like Target or
Walmart in a three-month period. They outpace them in the amount of revenue
that they're taking" says Esack. "In three months, they are outpacing stores
that have been around for years, so that tells you, this is something different
than we've ever seen before."
The crimes are hitting big box stores hard, like Home Depot. "The last
four to five years, the increase that we've seen is unprecedented," says
Sean Browne, Senior Manager of Asset Protection.
However, small businesses are not exempt from the issue.
According to the Department of Homeland Security's website, it is estimated that
the average American family will pay more than $500 annually in additional
costs due to the impact of organized retail crime.
In 2021 alone, Pennsylvania suffered $5.5 billion worth of retail loss due to
ORC. About 10 percent of offenders caused 60
percent of the retail loss, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney
General's Office. They say eight in 10 retail crimes have violence associated
with them.

Will California Add A Second Crime Initiative
on November Ballot?
Lawmakers in the state continue to battle over Prop
47
Gov. Newsom, Legislative leaders consider putting new crime initiative on
November ballot
Gov. Gavin Newsom and some Democratic lawmakers are now considering placing a
crime-related measure on the November ballot to compete with an initiative that
has already qualified meant to enhance penalties for drug
traffickers and repeat thieves.
Five sources close to the situation but who are unauthorized to speak publicly
about it confirmed to KCRA 3 that it is an effort to continue negotiating the
measure that would reform parts of Proposition 47 off of the November ballot.
A decade ago, Proposition 47 loosened penalties for drug and theft crimes.
Law enforcement, business groups and elected leaders on both sides of the aisle
have blamed it for the state's rise in crime and homelessness.
Democratic lawmakers in the Assembly were briefed about the plan to place a
separate, legislative crime initiative on the ballot in a closed-door
meeting Saturday morning, three sources inside told KCRA 3.
It's unclear what exactly the legislative crime initiative would do. Lawmakers
were provided few details other than that the Governor's office and Democratic
legislative leaders intend to move quickly.
The Secretary of State has until June 27 to finalize which citizen
initiatives land on the ballot.

Bloody Weekend of Mass Shootings Across the
U.S.
240+ Mass Shootings So Far in 2024
Series of US mass shootings brings weekend of death and mayhem
One dead and 34 wounded as incidents in New
York, Alabama, Missouri and Ohio swell 2024 mass shooting tally
A series of mass shootings rocked the US early on Sunday, leaving at
least one dead and 34 others wounded in just four cases reported in New
York, Alabama, Missouri and Ohio.
The shootings came amid a broader spate of recent mass shootings,
including the one at an Arkansas grocery store on
Friday that left four dead and nine wounded - as well as another at a
nightclub in Kentucky on Saturday that killed one and injured seven.
The violence brought the number of mass shootings in the US so far this year, as
of Sunday, to more than 240 - an average of more than one daily,
according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The non-partisan archive defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more
victims are wounded or killed.

Not Just Theft: Inflation Pushing Stores Out
of Business
Major retailers closing doors amid inflation, lower consumer demand
Major
U.S. retail chains like CVS and Macy's are being forced to close thousands of
brick-and-mortar stores across the country. Researchers say well over 3,400
retail stores are closing this year, which is about a 22% increase compared
to last year at this time.
One of the main causing factors cited is inflation. According to the
owners of Hollywood's iconic Arby's, California's $20 minimum wage law
led them to shutter their business after 55 years.
The top closures include Family Dollar at over 600
stores, followed by rue21, 99 Cents Only Stores, 7-11 and more.
"Drugstores are not going to be there anymore. Restaurants are not going to
be there anymore. So this is consequential not only financially from a real
estate standpoint, but it's consequential in quality of life, availability of
services," Taffer said.
Another reason driving these shutdowns is poor strategy, as several
companies are carrying a lot of debt.
Retailers say they're also dealing with theft, and when coupled with the rise
of online shopping, it's preventing customers from even entering stores in
the first place.

Will AI Replace Retail Workers?
CVS may soon show whether AI can start to replace call centers
CVS plans to use AI so that pharmacy
customers don't have to go through a menu option
CVS plans to use artificial intelligence in an effort to improve the
customer-service experience, CVS Health Chief Technology Officer Tilak
Mandadi told The Wall Street Journal.
Mandadi told the publication that the retail giant's health division plans to
roll out an app so that customers don't have to get on the phone to reach a
pharmacist or a live agent at a call center - a practice that's less favored
by Gen Z.
The app will rely on AI so that customers can get text-based answers in a
"natural language," Mandadi said.
But for those who still want to call, Mandadi said that CVS will also use AI so
that customers don't have to go through a tedious menu option on the
phone and can immediately ask their questions.
The CTO added that customers will be directed to a live customer
representative if the AI cannot answer their questions.
CVS is the latest retail giant to rely on AI to assist
customers. For a few years, McDonald's was testing an AI-powered
drive-through service at 100 locations.

JCPenney's $40M Supply Chain Upgrade
Will JCPenney's $40 Million Investment in Supply Chain Upgrades Pay Off?
JCPenney has announced a major enhancement to its distribution operations,
unveiling a
$40 million upgrade to its 1.67-million-square-foot Reno, Nevada, distribution
center. This initiative is a crucial component of the retailer's broader
$1 billion self-funded reinvestment strategy, which was revealed last year. The
substantial investment is aimed at improving order efficiency and speed for
online shoppers, ensuring a superior customer experience.
JCPenney's CEO, Marc Rosen, expressed enthusiasm about the new system,
highlighting its role in modernizing the company's logistics and enhancing
service delivery. "We look forward to experiencing its impact for our
customers, associates and company as we honor our commitment to making every day
count for our customers," he stated in the announcement.
At the heart of this upgrade is the introduction of the Joey Pouch sorting
system, a state-of-the-art technology designed to streamline and enhance the
supply chain process. This sophisticated system features advanced induction
process technologies, an automated sorter for order assembly, and a new packing
system equipped with invoice and shipping label printing capabilities for each
order. By incorporating these technologies, JCPenney aims to significantly
boost order accuracy and reduce shipping times, thereby elevating the overall
customer experience.

Shoplifting is now considered the number one major property crime in
the United States. It has profound effects as well: the higher
retail prices of commodities to make up for the losses, significant
loss of local and state tax revenues and legal costs, reduced hours
and loss of community jobs in the event of store closures, and with
more brazen shoplifters - possible loss of life to guards and loss
prevention professionals.
CIS Security
Solutions is pleased to introduce you to one of the sponsors of
the new Florida House Bill 0549, Florida House Representative John
Snyder (R). He will enlighten us on the details of HB-0549 and how
it can impact shoplifting and our communities going forward.

Just 23% of Companies Paid Ransomware Demands
Ransomware victims are becoming less likely to pay up
Despite a jump in ransom demands last year,
companies are plotting better defenses against attacks that can incur deep
business interruption costs, Marsh said.
Crime is paying less often for threat actors as improved corporate security
measures - and dramatically higher ransom demands - sway more companies to
reject extortion payments for seized data.
Less than a quarter of 1,800 companies that submitted cyber claims to Marsh, or
23%, paid ransom demands last year, despite a 64% jump in extortion events
from 2022 to a record 282, the insurance broker and risk advisor said in a June
11 report.
In 2021, Marsh noted, 63% of its clients paid an extortion demand to protect
data.
Companies, especially larger ones, are "just more
resilient than they were three, four, five years ago," Meredith Schnur, managing director of Marsh's U.S. and Canada cyber practice, told Legal
Dive.
Executives overseeing legal, risk, technology and privacy areas have also grown
more sophisticated in their approach to mitigating the effects of hacks relative
to just five years ago, she said.
When ransomware "initially reared its ugly head," attacks were "very fast and
furious," Schnur said. "Companies weren't ready."
Threat actors locked down and threatened to release stolen data. "And it was
very scary," she said.
Today, a company struck by a ransomware may find that the resiliency measures
engineered by its legal, risk, information security and technology departments
are suitable to a point that the business isn't fully impaired. And that can
directly affect a company's decision to pay ransom.

Businesses Struggle to Fill Cyber, AI & Data
Roles
Cyber, AI and data dominate upskilling priorities, Skillsoft finds
The three categories align with the
positions businesses are having the greatest difficulty filling, according to
the report.
Executives are investing in
cyber, AI and data training opportunities as hiring for these skills remains
a persistent pain point, according to a Skillsoft report published Tuesday.
The corporate training company surveyed 5,711 IT decision-makers and staff,
including 219 C-level executives.
More than one-third of C-suite leaders identified cybersecurity and AI as top
investment areas for upskilling, and 3 in 10 said data. A year ago, only
13% of executives said hiring for AI skills was difficult - 32% said finding
AI talent was challenging this year.
"The reality is you can't have a department operating at 100% efficiency when
you don't have a workforce qualified to meet those expectations," Skillsoft said
in the report. "And, you can't take full advantage of emerging technologies
without skilled staff."

Cybersecurity & Antivirus Software Banned in
the U.S.
US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to national security risks
The US Department of Commerce has announced an upcoming US-wide ban of
cybersecurity and antivirus software by Kaspersky, as its "ability to gather
valuable US business information, including intellectual property, and to gather
US persons' sensitive data for malicious use by the Russian Government pose an
undue or unacceptable national security risk."
Starting on July 20, 2024, Kaspersky is prohibited from entering into any new
agreement with US persons involving its
cybersecurity
and antivirus products and services.
Starting on September 29, 2024, Kaspersky and/or entities appointed by it
must stop providing antivirus signatures and codebase updates, and must stop
operating the Kaspersky
Security Network (KSN) in the US or on US persons' IT systems. They are
also prohibited from reselling, licensing and integrating software designed,
developed, manufactured, or supplied by Kaspersky into third-party products or
services.

150K Routers at Risk
Nearly 150,000 ASUS routers potentially exposed to critical vulnerability
Researchers said the CVE, which has a CVSS
score of 9.8, raises additional concerns about the security of edge, small
office and home office devices.
At least 147,000 ASUS routers are potentially exposed to a critical
vulnerability, which can allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication
and gain login access, researchers at Censys said Thursday.
ASUS issued a security advisory on June 14 recommending customers upgrade
their firmware or apply mitigation steps if the upgrade was not possible.
The ASUS vulnerability raises more questions about the overall security of
edge devices, which have become frequent targets of malicious attacks in
recent years.

'Jetflicks' Generated Millions in Revenue of
Stolen TV Episodes
DOJ: Five Men Convicted For Operating Major Illegal Streaming Service
Jetflicks Generated Millions in Revenue at
Expense of Television Program Copyright Owners
A federal jury in Las Vegas convicted five men this week for their roles in
running one of the largest unauthorized streaming services in the United
States, which generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue while
causing substantial harm to television program copyright owners.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, beginning as early
as 2007, Kristopher Dallmann, Douglas Courson, Felipe Garcia, Jared Jaurequi,
and Peter Huber operated an online, subscription-based streaming service known
as Jetflicks. The Jetflicks group used sophisticated computer scripts and
software to scour pirate websites for illegal copies of television episodes,
which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks servers. The group reproduced
hundreds of thousands of copyrighted television episodes without authorization,
amassing a catalog larger than the combined catalogues
of Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and Amazon Prime. Dallmann and his co-conspirators
made millions of dollars streaming and
distributing this catalogue of stolen content to tens of thousands of paid
subscribers.
"The defendants ran a platform that automated the theft of TV shows and
distributed the stolen content to subscribers," Courson, Garcia, Jaurequi,
and Huber each face a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and Dallmann
faces a maximum penalty of 48 years in prison. A sentencing date has not yet
been set.

DOJ: Peruvian National Pleads Guilty to Identity Theft Charge Stemming from
Distraction Theft Scheme
United States Attorney for the District of Conn. announced ANGEL EUGENIO BANCES
CHAPONAN, 60, a citizen of Peru last residing in Queens, New York, pleaded
guilty before in Bridgeport to aggravated identity theft.

San Mateo County, CA: Four suspects arrested for Organized Retail Theft at
Hilldale Shopping Center
Authorities in San Mateo County arrested four individuals connected to a brazen
midday theft at a Lululemon store within the Hillsdale Shopping Center last
Thursday, according to a statement by the San Mateo Police Department. Suspects
allegedly made off with nearly $10,000 worth of merchandise before
fleeing in a stolen white Subaru Outback toward Highway 101. The Subaru was

played a pivotal role in apprehending the suspects and recovering the stolen
items and vehicle.

Shootings & Deaths
Fordyce, AR: 4th Arkansas grocery store shooting victim dies; charges pending
against suspected gunman
A fourth victim died Saturday evening following a shooting at a grocery store in
Fordyce, Arkansas, authorities said, as police continued to investigate the
attack. A man opened fire at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce on Friday, killing four
people ranging in age from 23 to 81 years old and wounding nine others. The
suspected shooter, identified by authorities as 44-year-old Travis Eugene Posey,
is expected to be charged with four counts of capital murder, with additional
charges pending, according to an Arkansas State Police news release. He is set
to appear in court on Monday, Dallas County prosecutor Eric Marks said. Law
enforcement responded to the shooting around 11:30 a.m. and exchanged gunfire
with the suspect, according to Arkansas State Police. Cellphone video captured a
man in the parking lot aiming a long gun and firing in multiple directions.
Matthew Gill, the meat manager at the Mad Butcher, told CNN a man came into the
store with a shotgun and ended up in a shootout with police. Posey was "treated
for non-life-threatening injuries after exchanging gunfire with law enforcement"
and taken to the Ouachita County Detention Center, state police said in the
release. It is unclear if Posey has retained legal counsel at this point. The
four people killed in the shooting were identified by police as: 23-year-old
Callie Weems, 50-year-old Roy Sturgis, 62-year-old Shirley Taylor, and
81-year-old Ellen Shrum.

Energy is the primary force behind success and without it mediocrity or failure
is almost guaranteed. The ability to move things forward and influence change
requires energy and there's a direct correlation to the amount of it and to the
degree of success. It's great to start off energized and gung ho about a project
or initiative, but it's critical to maintain the energy thru to completion. As
one senior executive has said, "there's no bad plan -- it's always a matter of
execution" and execution is all about energy. So when you think you've lost your
energy, take a break, do something different, and give your mind a chance to
re-energize. Because the worst thing you can do is to try to execute without it.
Just a Thought, Gus
