Two More California Cities Considering Facial Recognition Bans
Oakland and Berkeley Take Up Police Use of the Technology
About a month after San Francisco became the first in the country to ban the use
of facial recognition software, Oakland and Berkeley are set to take up the
controversial issue as well.
 On
Tuesday, Oakland's Public Safety Committee will consider whether to ban use of
the particular technology, which police departments argue can help catch
criminals but which civil libertarians counter could allow Big Brother to run
amok.
The proposed ban is being introduced by Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who cited a
Microsoft researcher who called the technology "toxic." She agreed with many
critics who say that face recognition systems rely on "biased datasets with
high levels of inaccuracy and lack standards around its use which has
already lead to misidentification and manipulation of data."
Like San Francisco, Oakland's proposed ban, would apply just to police and other
municipal departments. It does not affect use of the technology by the federal
government at airports and ports, nor does it limit personal or business use.
The city of Berkeley is considering similar legislation in July.
ktvu.com
'Public Acceptance of Biometric Facial Recognition Increasing'
A survey from travel site Reservations.com shows just over 42 percent of U.S.
adults approve of the use of facial recognition, half of them strongly so,
while only 32.5 percent do not support the technology's use,
NextGov reports. Almost 25 percent say they do not agree or disagree with
biometrics use in airports.
Reservations.com representative Joseph Robinson told NextGov that he is
surprised that the most common response was positive, citing a Brookings survey
from last October in which only 31 percent reported a favorable view of facial
recognition in airports. A survey by the Center for Data Innovation in December
likewise found that 54 percent are in favor of limiting the technology. Robinson
also says he is surprised by the number of undecided Americans.

Microsoft Quietly Deletes 10 Million Facial Recognition Photos
Microsoft has quietly deleted its MS Celeb database, which contains more than
10 million images. The photos compiled included journalists, artists,
musicians, activists, policy makers, writers and researchers. Microsoft is
finally putting an end to its role in the potential for abuse that facial
recognition technology has, which could lead to incidents of racial profiling.
The deletion comes after Microsoft called on U.S. politicians to do a better job
of regulating recognition systems last year. Additionally, they have asked
governments around the world to regulate the use of facial recognition
technology. Microsoft has even blocked sales of its facial recognition tech
to California police departments who wanted to use it in body cameras and
cars.

Retailers back bill requiring congressional
review of tariff hikes
The National Retail Federation welcomed legislation introduced today that would
strengthen congressional authority over tariff increases like those imposed by
the Trump administration during the past year.
"We agree with the need to deliver fair and balanced trade deals, but taxing
Americans isn't the answer - especially without a single vote from Congress,"
NRF Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French said. "At a time
when American businesses and consumers are facing unprecedented tariffs imposed
unilaterally, it's time to reexamine the appropriate balance on trade policy
between Congress and the executive branch. This legislation represents an
important step forward. We urge members of both parties to join this effort and
protect hardworking Americans from a growing trade war that could destroy
thousands of jobs and raise costs for families across the country."

Chief Revenue Officer Gets 7 Yrs Fed Prison For $13.4M Fraud
Jeffrey David, 44, of Sacramento, served as the Chief Revenue Officer for the
Sacramento Kings, a professional sports franchise. As part of his duties, he
negotiated sponsorship and other marketing agreements with companies in
California and elsewhere. From October 2012 through July 2016, David used this
position to defraud these companies by representing to them that payments they
made were going to the Kings, when in fact the payments were going to bank
accounts under his sole control, held in the name of Sacramento Sports Partners
LLC. The Kings did not know about these payments or this LLC at the time the
payments were solicited and made. In total, David stole approximately $13.4
million from five companies in California and elsewhere.
The professional sports franchise has received over $13.2 million in restitution
to date.

Senators Concerned About Lack of Hurricane Preparedness
 Hurricane
season started June 1 and several senators expressed frustration about the lack
of preparedness of government entities.
According to the news
report, during a meeting of the Senate's Government Operations, Consumer
Affairs, Energy, Environment and Planning Committee, senators questioned several
agencies as to whether they had prepared plans for how to deal with future
disasters and found the answers unsatisfying. Only a couple agencies reported
being prepared and had made improvements and plans.
The Health Department testifiers said while no current shelter for the mentally
ill and homeless was procured. Sen. Steven D. Payne pointed out that Human
Services has no current central data system in place for emergency shelters,
which provide a means of reconnecting families. He asked, without a central
data system, how will the department know how much staff is needed, how many
supplies are needed, or how many children or seniors or disabled were within
the shelters.
Sen. Oakland Benta said that the committee heard repetitive discussions: "...at
the end of the day working on emergency preparedness and we are still at home
plate. A lot of the things that should have been done are not done," Sen.

Companies Struggle to Adapt to the Justice Department's Stance on Instant
Messaging
Before the change, companies had to prohibit employees from using software that
didn't save records if they wished to be eligible for reduced fines. The
department altered the policy to suggest that companies implement controls over
messaging platforms that make it difficult to retain records.
It is now up to companies to figure out how best to monitor or control the
use of these apps to ensure that records are retained in the event of a
government investigation. The trick will be proving to prosecutors that the
right controls were in place after a bribery violation has occurred, said Nat
Edmonds, a former member of the Justice Department's Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act unit.

[WHITE PAPER] Reducing Total Retail Loss by Integrating Video with
Exception-Based Reporting
 The
concept of 'total retail loss' can be ambiguous and holds different meanings for
different segments of the retail industry. Within the industry, each retailer
has specific needs depending on compliance with specific protocols and ethical
business conduct. First, we need to establish and understand the variance in "pain points" that facilitates a better understanding of the difference between
outcomes that are the costs of doing business, versus the outcomes that are
regarded as losses.
Understanding a common equation to find out a business's Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) can help determine whether or not a retailer is achieving its
goals. However, because losses are often calculated based on an individual
company's formula, it's difficult to create a universal baseline. Now, there are
software and technologies available to help retailers stay ahead of their
losses, and, most importantly, understand the differences - dependent upon the
particular business - of losses, shrinkage and costs.
Exception-based Reporting and ROI
Exception-based reporting is a method of data analysis that compares an incoming
stream of data to a pre-established set of data at the point-of-sale (POS) and
flags items that don't match up. A specific retailer can define and customize
any number of 'normal' conditions for the incoming data to compare against and,
then, these abnormalities will be flagged as suspicious activity. The goal of
exception-based reporting is to enable these data streams to identify areas of
loss more readily and efficiently than time-consuming inventory audits or
in-store security personnel. Many times, single malicious users at the register
can have a greater impact on shrinkage; thus, waiting for an inventory audit to
be completed can allow for more malicious losses than readily available data
streams.
Background: Non-Malicious vs. Malicious Losses
 Non-malicious
losses include:
Errors
•
Not crime related
•
Unknown
•
Non-malicious losses as part of being in the industry
Accidental issues such as mispricing inventory, delivering damaged goods or
having to markdown inventory are just part of everyday business.
Malicious losses include:
Pre-meditated and deliberate crime-related problems
•
External or internal theft, burglary or criminal damage
•
Loyalty card scams
•
Customer frauds
These situations can negatively impact retail profitability and offer no
contribution to generating income for the business, but, with the correct video
and data analytics, crime-related losses can be uncovered.

6 Arrests in the UK and Netherlands in $27.3M Cryptocurrency Theft
Today, the UK's South West Regional Cyber Crime Unit (SW RCCU) in a joint
operation with the Dutch police (Politie), Europol, Eurojust and the UK's
National Crime Agency (NCA) has arrested 6 individuals after a 14-month long
investigation into a 24 million euro cryptocurrency theft. The five men and one
woman were arrested in simultaneous warrants this morning at their homes in
Charlcombe, Lower Weston and Staverton (UK) and Amsterdam and Rotterdam (the
Netherlands).
The theft, which targeted users' Bitcoin tokens, is believed to have affected at
least 4 000 victims in 12 countries, with the numbers continuing to grow. The
investigation relates to typosquatting, where a well-known online cryptocurrency
exchange was 'spoofed' - or recreated to imitate the genuine site - to gain
access to victims' Bitcoin wallets, stealing their funds and login details.

DDoS-for-Hire Services Doubled in Q1 Despite Major FBI Crackdown
Impact of FBI's takedown of 15 'booter'
domains last December appears
to have been temporary.
Nexusguard analyzed data gathered from multiple public and proprietary sources
on distributed denial-of-service attacks during the first quarter of this year.
The security vendor discovered that so-called booter websites offering DDoS
services for hire more than doubled that quarter compared to the fourth
quarter of 2018 - despite a major law enforcement crackdown on such sites in
December.
Nexusguard's analysis also showed a continued trend toward what it calls
bit-and-piece DDoS attacks, where threat actors contaminate a large and diverse
pool of IP address with almost negligible sizes of junk traffic that converge
and block a targeted IP.
In the first quarter of this year, such attacks became more automated and
targeted, indicating that attackers have figured out how to launch them
optimally, Nexusguard said in its report.
Booter Services Back With a Vengeance
The resurgence of booter sites in particular is notable. Last December, the
FBI-in collaboration with international counterparts-seized 15 Internet domains
associated with some of the world's largest DDoS-for-hire-services.
The FBI's pre-Christmas 2018 crackdown succeeded in slashing the overall
number of DDoS attacks globally by 11%, and average attack size by as much
as 85% percent in Q4 last year.
However, Nexusuard and others at that time warned about a rebound in booter
services due to the strong and growing demand for them in the cyber
underworld. The latest numbers appear to confirm that expectation.
The same pattern has played out numerous times over the years. Law enforcement
authorities in the US and other countries have taken down major underground
marketplaces and dismantled organized groups engaged illicit activities online,
only to see others swiftly replace them.

Hackers hit over a dozen mobile carriers & could shut down networks
Researchers believe the attacks are backed by China
Hackers have quietly infiltrated more than a dozen mobile carriers around the
world, gaining complete control of networks behind the companies' backs. The
attackers have been using that access over the last seven years to steal
sensitive data, but have so much control they could shut down communications at
a moment's notice, according to Cybereason, a security company based in Boston.
On Tuesday, Cybereason said it's been investigating the campaign, dubbed
Operation Soft Cell, through which hackers targeted phone providers in
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The hackers infected multiple
mobile carriers since 2012, gaining control and siphoning off hundreds of
gigabytes of data on people.
How the attacks happened
Cybereason's researchers found that the attackers gained access to more than a
dozen mobile carriers by exploiting old vulnerabilities, like malware hidden in
a Microsoft Word file or finding an exposed public server belonging to a given
company.
 Using that access, the hackers also created accounts for themselves with
escalated privileges, essentially hiding among the company's actual staff. Even
if the companies take measures to close up their vulnerabilities, the hackers
could remain in the network for years after the fix.
Because the attack method was this sophisticated and targeted, Cybereason
researchers believe the hackers were backed by a nation-state. All digital
forensics signs point to China -- the malware used, the method of attack and the
servers the attacks are on are tied to APT10, China's elite hacking group.

The C-Suite is Under Attack, Verizon Data Breach Report Finds
C-Level Execs 12 Times More Likely to be a Target
C-level executives such as the (CEO, CFO, COO, and CIO) are a prime target of
cybercriminals. They are 12x more like likely to be the target in social
engineering attacks than other employees. Financial gain remains the primary
goal. In total, 71% of all breaches had a financial motive.
Because senior executives have top-level access and are higher up on the chain
of command to make and approve requests, their email login credentials are very
attractive to cybercriminals. For attackers, stolen credentials, and compromised
email accounts, are like having the key to the city. Criminals can come and go
at will, within the company's network, like a trusted friend. No brute-force
needed.
A compromised C-suite email account can be used to send wire transfer requests,
then the criminals simply wait for the money to arrive. In recent years,
Snapchat, Mattel, and FACC have all fallen victim to BEC scams.
Verizon reports that Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks represented 370
incidents of which 248 were confirmed breaches.
Phishing and vishing are commonly used by attackers to steal credentials.
Because of the sheer volume of emails that the C-suite handle, their exposure to
phishing is higher than other employees. Each day they routinely respond to
multiple issues that demand quick resolution, creating an environment that is
conducive to 'clicking before thinking.'

The Data Breach Case Against Facebook Is Moving Forward
Facebook is still legally on the hook for a September
data breach that affected 30 million of their customers. Hackers were
reportedly able to exploit several software failings in order to obtain login
access to consumer accounts. Facebook had moved to have the case dismissed - but
a federal appeals judge has shot down that argument, saying the case against
Facebook for negligence and for failing to secure users' data will proceed.
Discovery should move "with alacrity" for a trial, U.S. District Judge William
Alsup said in his ruling. The judge did, however dismiss breach-of-contract and
breach-of-confidence claims. Plaintiffs have until the 8th of July to amend
their case.
"From a policy standpoint, to hold that Facebook has no duty of care here 'would
create perverse incentives for businesses who profit off the use of consumers'
personal data to turn a blind eye and ignore known security risks,"' Judge Alsup
said, citing a decision in a separate case.
Facebook has argued it is really the victim as the target of
highly-sophisticated hack attacks - and that it ought not be liable for thieves
gaining access to user names and contact information. Facebook also argued that
while logins were compromised, data of real value like card numbers remained
protected and unharmed.

Fraud prevention: what retailers are doing to
beat online scammers
Online fraud is on the rise. According to trade association
UK Finance, scams
against online retailers totalled £265.1 million in 2018, up 29% on the previous
year. However, retailers are increasingly arming themselves in the fight against
cybercrime. Last year the sector spent 17% more on cybersecurity, found a recent
survey by the British Retail
Consortium.
Lessons learnt
For William Scott Forshaw, founder of luxury bag company
Maxwell-Scott,
falling victim to scammers nearly eight years ago led the company to completely
rethink its approach to fraud prevention.
"We got caught out," he says. "Someone managed to insert a script to our
shopping basket. So when customers were typing in their credit card details, it
was recording that information and sending it to an Excel sheet on a server in
Thailand."
The company located and removed the script after the bank flagged a problem. But
by that time it had been running for a month. Subsequently it had to pay £25,000
in fines to Mastercard and Visa, as well as being forced to pay £5,000 to a
security firm to do a sweep of its systems.
Off the back of that experience, it rebuilt everything. "Since then our servers
have been immaculate and we've put lots of protocols in place" he says.
The right support
Ollie Marshall, IT director at Maplin, agrees that it is crucial that
retailers do more than just comply with the minimum standards as "liability for
fraud sits with the merchant."
After the electronics brand relaunched as an online-only retailer earlier this
year, the company used the opportunity to bake fraud prevention into its
transactional processes. "From day one we had fraud attempts," says Marshall.
"Being online-only, it was obvious to me fraud was going to play a massive part
[in resigning our systems]." The company decided to partner with fraud detection
business Signifyd, which aggregates data in real time to determine whether a
transaction is fraudulent. Read more:

'Human-Proofing' Marketplace Fraud
Trust is the currency that makes online marketplaces of all shapes and sizes run
- but in a world where cybercrime and digital attacks on consumer identity are
endemic, it can also be the hardest element to guarantee.
In the good old days of analog physical commerce, Yapstone Chief Information
Security Officer Richard Noguera told Karen Webster, proximity did a lot of
heavy lifting for guaranteeing everyone in the transaction knew who they were
dealing with.
"The challenge is, in digital marketplaces where that trust is especially
necessary, it is also totally ethereal," Noguera said. "The transaction is
devoid of the old physical construction - but that doesn't mean consumers don't
still want to feel the same level of trust."
The goal for firms like Yapstone that service marketplaces is to be able to
imbue those virtual transactions with the same sense of trust consumers and
sellers more or less feel in that physical environment, he said. The supplier or
seller knows the person they are transacting with is the buyer they think they
are, and the seller is actually who they say they are and only who they say they
are over the course of the transaction.

Providing a reference on an executive is a serious commitment and should never
be taken or given lightly as references play a critical role in the decision
process regarding major investments companies make when they hire a new
executive. For example, when a company hires a $100,000 a year executive,
they'll spend close to $200,000 on that executive in the first year alone merely
to get the executive up and running. And if your recommendation isn't accurate,
it could lead to problems not only for the company referencing the executive,
but also for the executive themselves and that's the real concern. So when
you're asked to give a reference, make sure you understand the position they're
looking to fill and give an accurate assessment based on your experience and
knowledge of that person and of the needs of that position. Because the last
thing anyone wants is to have an executive fail in their new position if it
could have been avoided.
Just a Thought,
Gus
