Sonitrol TotalGuard Performs Flawlessly for this Satisfied Customer
Brandenburg Auto enjoys
full protection and valuable peace of mind for their
family-run business
 3xLOGIC,
Inc., a leading provider of integrated, intelligent security solutions, and
a three-time
Deloitte Technology Fast 500 winner, today announced yet another successful
apprehension, courtesy of sister company, Sonitrol's, incredibly effective
TotalGuard technology.
Sonitrol of Lexington, Kentucky performed the system installation and does
on-going 24/7/365 monitoring.
 Brandenburg
Auto is a small, family-owned and operated auto repair shop in Lexington,
Kentucky, run by Jack Brandenburg and his son, Jack Jr. The business had
recently experienced a break-in, during which the phone line was cut prior to
entry, rendering their previous security system incapable of sending alerts when
the intrusion occurred.
Brandenburg Senior was initially reluctant to deploy the new Sonitrol TotalGuard
solution, as he felt they already had cameras and he was concerned because the
new technology would not have a keypad. However, after Danny Goodpaster,
Sonitrol Security Consultant, demonstrated the technology and showed him a video
of an actual break-in resulting in an apprehension, both father and son decided
to move forward.

Recap: RFID Journal LIVE! Retail @ RetailX
Solving Retail Challenges via RFID
At RetailX, consultants and experts from organizations such as Ralph
Lauren, GS1 and Auburn University discussed how the use of radio frequency
identification favors business.
Using radio frequency identification technology as a business tool offers
several challenges, as RFID Sherpas consultant Kristen Munroe said during the
first day of RFID Journal LIVE! Retail @ RetailX, held this week in Chicago,
Illinois.
According to Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor, RFID plays an
important role, especially at these times, because it reduces the time to
process, while accelerating the acquisition of product information, such as an
item's real-time location.
Munroe, Ralph Lauren's chief operating officer, said RFID streamlines
processes and makes life easier for professionals involved in business
processes, by adding more features that solve business problems.
The themes of standardization and blockchain also gained space with the
participation of speakers from GS1 and Auburn University, who presented studies
including a comparison of the benefits of RFID and barcodes. The study shows
that some brands and retailers are using blockchain and RFID to solve common
challenges, including reducing complaints or returns, as well as enhancing
product authentication.

NRF Protect 2019:
How to handle workplace complaints
4 tips for LP professionals
 "LP
guys sometimes have to act like HR people," says David Thompson, vice president
of operations for
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates. When incidents such as sexual harassment,
workplace violence, bullying or fraternizing are brought to their attention, LP
leaders are often on the front lines to handle such complaints. Training is
crucial in knowing what to say, how to act and, most importantly, how to gather
as much information as possible. At
NRF PROTECT, NRF's
annual loss prevention event, Thompson outlined how an intake interview is
likely to be influenced by biases that come with experience and offered tips and
best practices to preserve true facts.

Retail & food service jobs take 'brutal psychological toll' on workers
'Poor sleep, psychological distress and lower levels of happiness'
The rallying cry for millions of workers is a $15 an hour minimum wage. But in
addition to low pay, erratic schedules are another bane of American
workers, particularly in food service and retail: They interfere mightily
with family life and are associated,
our research finds, with poor sleep, psychological distress and lower
levels of happiness.
Our survey affirmed the scope of the problem. Only about one in five of the
people we surveyed work a regular daytime shift. About two-thirds of workers
receive their weekly work schedule with less than two weeks' notice, and one
third get less than one week's notice. Sixteen percent get less than 72 hours'
notice - a scenario that makes it basically impossible to plan child care,
family meals or homework time.
A particular onerous task demanded of retail and food-service workers is to
work a closing shift and then, immediately afterward, the opening shift
(say, closing the store at 11 p.m. then returning to open a few hours later).
That's called a "clopening," and half of our respondents said they'd worked one.
There's a strong case for raising the minimum wage. But our research suggests
that regulations that impose some semblance of order on workers' hours could
have an even bigger impact on workers' well-being than a raise.

Macy's recently named in a suit alleging its
criminal background screening policy discriminates against certain applicants
and employees
Earlier this week, a lawsuit was filed against Macy's, Inc. in the Southern
District of New York alleging the company has an "unnecessarily punitive
criminal history screening policy." The suit itself was filed by Youth Represent
(YR), the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), and the law firm
of Outten & Golden LLP (O&G).
According to the allegations detailed in the lawsuit, Macy's screening
policy "disproportionately disqualifies Black and Latinx applicants and
employees from job opportunities," which violates not only Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 but also the New York City Human Rights Law.
The plaintiffs in the case include Jenetta Rolfer and The Fortune Society, Inc.
Together, the plaintiffs hope to bring about a change to Macy's screening policy
that often "results
in a disproportionate number of otherwise qualified Black and Latinx job
applicants and employees being denied employment or terminated due to their
criminal background histories, including for minor or very old convictions that
are unrelated to the positions at issue."
One of the plaintiff's, Rolfer, argues in the suit that she was a victim of
Macy's policy. According to her, she was hired as a member of the store's Credit
Granting Department, but was later "abruptly terminated by the company for a
misdemeanor conviction stemming from a decade-old traffic-related incident."

Family of robbery suspect killed by Phoenix
police plans $6M lawsuit
The family of an armed robbery suspect fatally shot by Phoenix police in January
is planning to sue the city for $6 million in the third multimillion-dollar
claim over alleged misconduct by officers this month. The family and their
supporters say the young man was fleeing and posed no threat when police
shot him in the back. When the Jan. 11 shooting was first reported, police said
Harris pointed a handgun at officers before they fired.
 "They shot Jacob in the back,"
Roland Harris said in a press release. "They lied about Jacob and made up a
story that he threatened them. It never happened. "The only thing my son did was
run for his life, and the cops shot him in cold blood."
Black and white thermal video from a police helicopter that was leaked to 12
News on Wednesday shows a person getting out of a car and running away before
falling forward and lying still. After 12 News broadcast the footage,
representatives for Harris' family distributed a 13-second clip of the incident.
"The video footage is damning for the police department and shows that Jacob
never once threatened the police," Horne said in the release. Sgt. Tommy
Thompson released a statement Wednesday saying the video had been released to
the TV station in error.

Couple embezzles over $5M from Jacksonville cigar company
Swisher International
A man arrested last year along with his wife in the embezzlement of $5 million
from Jacksonville's Swisher International continued to use that money for legal
issues and other things after being released on bond, according his new arrest
warrant. Gretchen Michele Camp, a 37-year-old former tax manager for Swisher,
was first arrested Dec. 3 after a State Attorney's Office investigation showed
money diverted from the almost century-old cigar company. According to her
husband's initial warrant, Gretchen Camp told Swisher officials she had created
the bogus invoices "at the direction of this suspect [her husband] because he
wanted more than she could afford to buy on her salary." She said the money was
used to buy a 460-acre farm in Metter, Ga., to build a cabin and other buildings
and equipment to work the land. She also told investigators the money went to
buy lots of gold and silver "due to the fact that her husband is preparing for
the fall of the U.S. government," the warrant said.

Chick-fil-A is America's Favorite Restaurant
Chain, Again
Americans really love Chick-fil-A. For the fourth year in a row, the
Georgia-based chicken chain has been named America's favorite restaurant,
according to the
American Customer Satisfaction Index. The index is based on input from
nearly 23,000 consumers. The chain, whose customer service is perhaps just as
well-known as its food, scored an 86 on the 100-point scale, down one point from
last year.
Coming in third (behind a collection of smaller companies) was Panera with a
score of 81. Four chains tied for fourth with a score of 80: Arby's, Chipotle,
Papa John's and Pizza Hut. Other popular chains scored much lower. KFC scored
78, Burger King 76 and Taco Bell 75. McDonald's was among the lowest with a
score of 69. Chick-fil-A's sales are also soaring. Though its stores are open
only six days a week, the company managed to generate more than $10.5 billion in
sales in its most recent fiscal year, making it No. 3 in the industry behind
McDonald's and Starbucks, according to Nation's Restaurant News

UK: Unions and retailers urge action over
violence in shops
Tougher sentences need to be brought in for people who assault shop
workers, retailers and unions have urged, after it emerged there are around 115
attacks every day.
The letter to the home secretary, the lord chancellor and the minister for
crime, safeguarding and vulnerability, called for a specific new offence of
assaulting a retail worker. It recommended that offenders are sentenced in
the same way as somebody who attacks an emergency services worker would. Last
year, the maximum prison sentence for someone who assaults emergency services
staff
increased from six to 12 months.
According to the Association of Convenience Stores there were 10,000
incidents of violence and abuse last year in the stores its members work in
alone, while the British Retail Consortium said 115 shop staff were attacked
every day.

Former Equifax CIO Sentenced to Prison for
Insider Trading
Jun Ying, former chief information officer of Equifax US Information Solutions,
has been sentenced to four months in federal prison and a year of supervised
release for insider trading.
In March 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Ying with
insider trading ahead of Equifax's disclosure of a massive data breach in
September 2017. As an executive within a US business unit of Equifax, Ying was
privy to sensitive information that led him to conclude the company had been
breached in August 2017, weeks before the incident was made public.
On Aug. 25, 2017, Ying messaged a colleague to warn Equifax may have been
breached. A few days later he exercised all of his stock options and received
6,815 shares of Equifax stock, which he sold to receive proceeds of $950,000. He
realized a gain of more than $480,000 - avoiding a loss of over $117,000.
Equifax announced the breach on Sept. 7; its stock price fell.

Breach at Cloud Solution Provider PCM Inc.
Customer info likely stolen for gift card fraud
A digital intrusion at PCM
Inc., a major U.S.-based cloud solution provider, allowed hackers to access
email and file sharing systems for some of the company's clients, KrebsOnSecurity has learned. Sources say PCM discovered the intrusion in mid-May
2019. Those sources say the attackers stole administrative credentials that PCM
uses to manage client accounts within Office 365, a cloud-based file and email
sharing service run by Microsoft Corp. One security expert at a PCM customer who
was recently notified about the incident said the intruders appeared primarily
interested in stealing information that could be used to conduct gift card
fraud at various retailers and financial institutions.

CISOs: We're Losing the Skills Race With Black
Hats
'Talent and Skills most important weapons in cyber-arms race'
Nearly half of CISOs in the UK, France and Germany believe they're losing the
skills race with cyber-criminals, according to new research from
Symantec.
 The security giant teamed up with London's Goldsmiths University to poll over
3000 IT security decision makers across the three countries. The resulting
report, High Alert: Tackling Cyber Security Overload in 2019, has some
alarming findings.
Over two-fifths (44%) claimed their teams lack the necessary skills to tackle
threats effectively, and 37% said they are overwhelmed with heavy workloads,
although these figures dropped to 38% and 23% in the UK, respectively.
Goldsmiths director of innovation, Chris Brauer, argued that talent and
skills are now the most important weapons in the cyber-arms race.

As tech companies double down on promises to better protect users' privacy, the
US government may have other ideas. Senior Trump officials reportedly met

companies from using encryption that law enforcement can't break, according to a
report from
Politico.
The National Security Council meeting to deliberate the encryption issue --
which the government reportedly calls "going dark" -- consisted of the
second-in-commands from several agencies, according to Politico, but no decision

Bot Fraud Grows Across All Mobile Businesses And
Now Threatens Apps
The latest
cybercrime research from ThreatMetrix, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions company
providing business security solutions, reveals that companies were hit by 3
billion automated bot attacks in the last six months of 2018. Drawing from
internal data spanning 17 billion transactions (processed from July 1, 2018,
through December 31, 2018), the
ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report 2H 2018 observes 189 million bot
attacks originated from mobile devices. That's up 12% compared to the
previous six months. This terrifying trend will probably gain momentum. "Fraudsters always go where the money is, and with a continual volume shift to
mobile, it is likely that mobile attacks will similarly continue to rise," the
report concludes.

How to Protect Your Customer's Personal Data Against
Security Breaches
in the Digital Age
Pete MacInnis, founder, and CEO of
eLend Solutions
joins CBT News to talk about digital retailing, and the changes it has caused
from the traditional world of customer information. Pete talks about how PII,
personal identifiable information, has transitioned not only to online
transactions but also to more considerable data, such as customer's social
security numbers.
However, the industry seems to look at this data as more enhanced, without the
consideration of protecting this data. In addition, Pete says that fraud doesn't
happen where dealers expect it to, such as during an online credit application.
But rather fraud actually happens when the data is sitting unused within the
company's servers or when it is being accessed through these servers, and Pete
says that it is here that proper authentication and security is crucial.

Facebook and Ebay Warned to Fix Fake Review
Problem or Face Fines
Ebay and Facebook are facing new pressures to confront the ongoing problem of
users buying and selling the reviews via their platforms.
The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has urged the companies to
crack down on the sale of fake reviews, which are illegal under the country's
consumer protection laws. The watchdog agency reviewed activity on the
marketplaces over an eight month period and found over 100 eBay listings and
26 Facebook groups offering fake or misleading reviews for sale or trade.
It allowed that Facebook and Ebay aren't intentionally facilitating these
transactions (in both cases, they violate the sites' terms of service) but said
the companies must do more to prevent them.

united with Colorado-based Nite Ize to take sellers to court. Nite Ize makes and
sells the Steelie family of products, a hands-free system that allows you to
dock your phone to your dashboard using a magnetic mounting system. The
defendants had opened at least 19 seller accounts on Amazon's online store
and, through these accounts, had unlawfully advertised and sold products
bearing counterfeit trademarks of Nite Ize, according to the claim. Amazon,
after receiving notice from Nite Ize, confirmed the unlawful sale of counterfeit
Nite Ize products and blocked the seller accounts. In addition to
injunctive relief, Amazon and Nite Ize have asked the court to order the
impounding of the fake goods, and triple damages.

exonerated after serving more than 17 years behind bars. The 2003 conviction of
41-year-old Royal Clark Jr. was vacated Thursday morning by a state judge in
Jefferson Parish. Clark, still wearing orange prison garb, was present for the
hearing. His parents, sister and son looked on from courtroom seats. Clark was
expected to be released within hours of the hearing. An advocacy
organization, The Innocence Project New Orleans, says Clark was exonerated after
fingerprint evidence linked the robbery of a fast food restaurant to another
man.

Orlando, FL: Woman Sentenced 9+ Years In Federal
Prison For Credit Card And Identity Theft Scheme Resulting In Over $812,000 In
Losses
 According
to court documents and evidence presented at the hearing, from August 2014
through July 2018, Bentley obtained personal identifying information ("PII")
from victims, obtained fake credit card accounts and cards in the victims' names
or linked to their accounts, and used those credit cards to obtain goods, gift
cards and cash at retail establishments and banks throughout Orlando and
surrounding areas. Bentley was the leader of a broad group of conspirators that
used sophisticated means to facilitate this fraud, and exploited the advanced
age of their elderly victims to steal their identity, causing them to incur
exorbitant fraudulent charges.

Networking has always been a key to career development and finding that next
job. However, if you're not careful it can also limit you, eliminate you and
even work against you. If your network is comprised of executives doing exactly
what you do, then you may have competition and may even find some working
against you. You've got to broaden and expand your network outside your
immediate group and establish relationships outside your company and your
professional circle. Remembering that quantity is no substitute for quality and,
as in any mutually beneficial relationship, what you bring to the table for them
is as important as what they bring to the table for you.
Just a Thought,
Gus
