Violence, Crime & Protests
Violent Crime Wave is a Political Game-Changer
The Politics of Policing Shift as Homicides Surge Across the U.S.
 A
year ago, a majority of the
Minneapolis City Council
pledged to disband the police department. At protests around the
country, left-wing activists chanted, "Defund the police!" And in New York City,
an insurgent liberal who embraced that slogan
ousted a longtime Democratic congressman.
But now, President Biden is
inviting local governments to use federal money to fund police departments
and hire more officers. The Democratic mayor of Minneapolis
wants to replenish his city's police force. And a former policeman running
on a law-and-order platform is
leading as votes are counted in the Democratic primary for New York mayor.
Thirteen months after the police killing of
George Floyd sparked an impassioned movement in the Democratic Party to rein
in police departments, a
surge in homicides has prompted a shift in the opposite direction.
Democrats are scrambling to
make new investments in policing and seeking to project toughness on crime,
even as they continue pushing for police reforms and alternative means of
deterring crime.
Now in control of the White House, Congress and most big cities, Democrats have
struggled to contain the
deadly violence this year, which is expected to worsen as the summer progresses.
They are facing a barrage of criticism from Republicans, who are portraying
Democrats as soft on crime as part of a coordinated strategy for next year's
midterm elections.
These trends have alarmed Democrats at all levels - from the White House, where
Biden recently delivered his first major speech on fighting crime; to voters,
who are
rallying behind crime-focused candidates in early primaries; to U.S.
House members who are bluntly warning liberal colleagues to
tone down their attacks on law
enforcement.
" 'Defund police' is a phrase
that I wish had never been uttered," said Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.), who
ran the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee when Republicans picked up
13 House seats over the two-year 2020 election cycle. "We've got to do a better
job of talking about what we do want to do."

Same Trend Everywhere: Overall Crime Drops While
Violent Crime Surges
Florida sees increase in violent crime, while overall crime came down in 2020
New statistics released in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's annual
crime report show that while crime
overall was down in 2020,
violent crime rose.
The breakdown shows that there were
1,285 murders across the state
in 2020. That's an
increase of 260 murders from 2019. Statistics show a gun was used in
roughly 80% of those murders.
It's a trend that has
continued into 2021, as both Tampa and St. Pete are seeing an increase in
gun violence. So far this year, 23 homicides and 230 non-fatal shootings have
been recorded in the city of Tampa. In St. Petersburg, residents and
city leaders have been
rallying against gun violence.
St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway says the uptick in violence can't
be pegged to any one reason.
"The pandemic may have a lot to do with it, coping skills may have a lot to do
with it, and overall people just not being able to communicate with each other,"
he said. "That's what we have to start working on, resolving problems without
picking up a gun."
Non-violent crimes, such as
burglaries and robberies, fell roughly 17% statewide last year. Overall,
the crime rate fell roughly 16% in 2020.

Penalizing Localities that Defund Police
Wisconsin Bans Chokeholds, Assembly Votes To Block Defunding Police
Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday signed a bill into law banning police chokeholds,
except in life or death situations, on the same day the Assembly sent him a
measure that would penalize
local governments that attempt to defund their police departments.
 The
GOP-backed bill that would mandate that any municipality that decreases the
number of police officers, firefighters or medical first responders would
receive a cut in state aid
equal to the amount of compensation cut.
Municipalities that do not cut
the number of officers would receive more in state aid. Police
departments with fewer than 30 officers would be exempt.
The bill is an attempt by conservatives to
stop those who want to reduce
the size of police departments, sometimes to direct more funding to other
social services that may not require a law enforcement intervention.
Democrats argued for increasing funding overall for local governments, saying
budget challenges are what pressure communities to consider cutting police
funding. They also argued that the state was attempting to interfere with local
government decision-making and that the proposal would do nothing to keep
communities safe.
Democratic Rep. Mark Spreitzer
said the proposal was a "cynical" attempt to punish local governments.

Post-Derek Chauvin, Police Are Training to Intervene When They Witness
Misconduct
Since George Floyd's murder, 138
law-enforcement agencies have signed up for training
 Since
former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd last May
in front of three colleagues, more police departments have begun training
police officers to intervene when their fellow officers use excessive force or
engage in other misconduct.
Many are using a training called Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement, or
ABLE, that was designed by policing researchers at Georgetown University Law
School based on studies of group violence by Ervin Staub, a Holocaust survivor
and emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst. In the four years after the training was first tried in New Orleans in
2016, only a handful of departments signed up.
The number of departments that
have signed up since Mr. Floyd's murder now totals 138, including in New
York City, Philadelphia, and Boston.
Funded by corporate sponsors, ABLE offers train-the-trainer sessions to officers
who then go back to their own departments. Agencies that want to sign up must
train everyone from their chief to their newest recruits.

'Pride' Celebration Turns into Chaos
8 arrested, vendor attacked in chaotic night at Washington Square Park: cops
 Rowdy
revelers were caught on video
beating up a hot dog vendor late Sunday - as all hell broke loose at
Washington Square Park, police said.
The chaos at the Greenwich Village greenspace resulted in the
arrests of eight people,
including a woman charged with biting an NYPD lieutenant, cops said
Monday morning.
But no busts were made in the alleged beatdown of the 65-year-old vendor, who
was attacked at Fifth Avenue and Washington Square North just before 11 p.m.,
according to police.
Disturbing video shows several people surrounding the man, in a bright yellow
shirt, with one pummeling him in the face and knocking him down.
The attacker can be seen clocking him again as he tries to get away.
Earlier in the night,
clashes broke out at the famed
park between a swarm of Pride parade partiers and cops, who deployed
pepper spray on the unruly crowd around 7:15 p.m.

Tourist
Newly released video shows gunman firing weapon in Times Square
Police released frightening new footage early Monday of the gunman who allegedly
opened fire in Times Square -
striking an innocent tourist in broad daylight.
The clip shows a man in a red and black top fire off at least two rounds on the
sidewalk late Sunday afternoon - as people around him scurried out of his path.
Samuel Poulin, 21, a Marine, was hit in the upper back by a ricocheting bullet
just after 5:15 p.m. Sunday outside the Marriott Hotel on West 45th Street and
Broadway, according to sources and the NYPD.

The Global Health Crisis is Far From Over
With 2M Dead This Year Alone
Why Does the U.S. Think COVID's Over?
When 2021 COVID Deaths Already Exceed 2020
U.S. Covid cases have fallen far below the winter peak in recent weeks, with new
diagnoses now down at a seven-day average of around 11,310 a day, compared to
more than 250,000 at the start of the year.
 It
has paved the way for most states to pursue plans to go back to business as
usual, with California and New York both lifting most of their public health
restrictions in recent days.
"The very unequal access to vaccines between rich and poor countries is probably
the most stark example of how global inequalities are manifesting themselves
during the Covid-19 pandemic," said Dr. Michael Baker, an epidemiologist at the
University of Otago in Wellington, New Zealand.
As the U.S. pushes ahead with its reopening, easing mask mandates and lifting
public health restrictions, much of the rest of the world is seeing an
alarming surge in the number of Covid-19 infections and deaths.
The official global death toll stood at 1,813,188 at the end of 2020.
More than 2 million people have died as a result of Covid
so far this year.
A return to a sense of normalcy in the U.S. has been boosted by the country's
relatively high vaccination rates, with 53% of the population having received at
least one dose. By contrast, some of the world's poorest countries are yet to
register a single dose.
Delta variant warning - Doubling every 10 to 14 days.
Health experts are concerned about the spread of the highly transmissible delta
variant. The Covid variant first identified in India is thought to be on track
to become the dominant strain of the disease worldwide.
Former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Thursday that the
spread of the delta variant in the U.S. was "highly concerning."

Study: Security Guards Most at Risk of Dying
from COVID
'You're gonna die': being a security guard in a pandemic
"You're gonna die," one of my mates texted, followed by the Edvard Munch scream
emoji. When I clicked on the link, I saw what she meant: according to the Office
for National Statistics, male security guards were the professional group
most at risk of dying from Covid-19.
 I
forwarded the link to the other blokes on my shift, then went back to opening
doors with my elbows and checking hallways for the nearest wall-mounted
sanitiser. It was June 2020. After three months of being on duty
in a pandemic, my palms were already so dry that I could have sanded down
decking barehanded.
I'd never even heard the words "key worker" until the first lockdown last year,
let alone understood that
I could be one. Nurses and supermarket workers, sure. But security staff?
In lockdown, key workers have had privileges and faced dangers. During the first
wave, my daughter could still go to school because I was a key worker, while
most of her friends suffered weeks of amateur tutoring by distracted parents. On
the other hand, I had to do a job where physical contact with strangers was a
daily inevitability.
I've worked as a security guard on a university campus in the south of England
for 14 years and I've been a licensed bouncer for seven. We work 24/7, getting
involved in everything from first aid to fights to blocked drains to nocturnal
essay advice to pulling drunk students out of hedges.
Since Covid struck, the role has been even more varied than normal.
Almost as soon as the pubs were forced to close, we were on the lookout for
ninja booze dealers trying to sell alcohol to the students still on campus. At
the same time we were having to argue with lecturers claiming "emergency access"
to collect their ergonomic keyboards.
A few night guards on our campus were shot at with fireworks launched by
bored local teens on e-scooters. "It's worse than Basra," one ex-squaddie
half-joked, especially with the added risk of infection as you chased the
kids away from the halls of residence.
Universities fully reopened on May 17 this year, but by then it was almost the
end of term for most students, so it has stayed fairly quiet. Now guards like
me are wondering how many outbreaks we'll get come September when the new wave
of freshers arrives or whether life will go back to a semblance of how it was
pre-Covid.

Two More COVID Security Deaths
Two New York security officers died from Covid19-pandemic
Two men who were working as security guards in New York City during the
Covid-19 pandemic died from the virus according to their family. Javier
Cortez, 61 was said to have worked transit security and Robert Deltona was a
security guard in Brooklyn.
Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement and private security
officers and other first responders throughout the country contracted
COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic due to requirements of their job.
Many of these first responders have died as a result of COVID-19 and continue to
do so as the virus spreads across the United States.

The UK's COVID Warning to the U.S.
Delta variant has 'exploded' in the UK - & it could be a blueprint for the U.S.′
Since the start of the pandemic, the U.S.
has been keeping a close eye on the U.K.
From its initial response to Covid-19 (questioned by many), to its much-praised
immunization program and world-class research, all have helped inform how the
U.S. - which faced its first major Covid outbreak after Britain - has reacted.
In a relatively short amount of time, the Delta strain supplanted the alpha
variant to become dominant in the country (in
mid-June delta was responsible for 90% of all infections, a government study
showed) - and this happened despite the U.K.'s advanced vaccination rate.
Fauci had already warned that delta appears to be "following the same
pattern" as alpha. "Similar to the situation in the U.K., the delta variant
is currently the greatest threat in the U.S. to our attempt to eliminate
Covid-19," he said.
In the U.K., infections attributed to delta have spread rapidly among young
people and anyone older who has not yet been vaccinated. Similarly, in the
U.S., there are concerns that delta could rapidly spread in parts of the South
where vaccinations have stalled, NBC News reported Sunday.

High Vaccination Rates = Low Unemployment
Hospitality workers are returning to their jobs in Northeast states
 Employment
is rebounding in the Northeast - and economists say the region's high
vaccination rates are a major factor.
As more people get their shots, economies in the Northeast, which has some of
the highest vaccination rates in the country, are reopening, prompting both
customers to flock to restaurants and other businesses and workers to return to
jobs, economists told
The Wall Street Journal.
Some of the biggest job gains were in the leisure and hospitality industries,
where staff work close to customers. In all nine Northeastern states
employment in these industries increased from April to May, The Journal
reported, citing BLS data. Pennsylvania added nearly 11,000 new jobs in the
sector, and New York added around 7,000.

Covid boosters in the fall?
As calls grow for third shots, here's what you need to know
Some countries, like the U.S. and U.K., have already signaled that they
could roll out Covid booster shots within a year.
Vaccination Hesitancy Has Persisted
3 in 5, 60.5% of Californians now at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19
Atop that leader board are Vermont, 83%; Hawaii, 80.7%; and Massachusetts,
79.7%.
California compares well with other sizable states. The rate is 71.9% in
Pennsylvania, 68.8% in New York, 60.7% in Florida and 57.2% in Texas.
"The reality is many younger Americans have felt like COVID-19 is not
something that impacts them, and they've been less eager to get the shot,"
he said during a briefing Tuesday. "However, with the Delta variant now
spreading across the country and infecting younger people worldwide, it's more
important than ever that they get vaccinated."

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said the benefits were helpful during the height of

federally funded benefits to address businesses' concerns
about a labor shortage.
Missouri cut off payments as of June 12, joining three other states as the first
to do so. Seven states followed with an end on June 19, and this weekend,
benefits are expiring in 10 more states. Four more states will curtail benefits
by July 10.

Massive $40 Million Settlement
Juul to Pay $40 Million to Settle N.C. Vaping Case
The settlement is the first in a stream of
lawsuits against the company, which has been accused of deceptive marketing
practices that contributed to a wave of nicotine addiction in teenagers.
 Juul
has agreed to pay North Carolina $40 million to settle the first of a spate
of lawsuits brought by states that claimed the company's marketing practices
fueled widespread addiction among young people to its high-nicotine
e-cigarettes.
The settlement was announced on Monday by Josh Stein, the North Carolina
attorney general, who sued the company in May of 2019. In the agreement,
the company denies any wrongdoing or liability.
The consent decree requires Juul to sell its products only behind the counter in
North Carolina stores, and to use third-party age verification systems for
online sales. The order also commits Juul to sending teenage "mystery
shoppers" to 1,000 stores each year, to check whether they are selling to
minors.

Dollar Stores = 25% of Retails Growth in 2021
Report: Store closures decline for the first time in 2021
The firm tracked 4,626 closures so far this year, 5.7% fewer than last year at
this time. Leading retailers in closures so far is Christopher & Banks, which
liquidated its physical footprint in bankruptcy this year. Another recent
retail bankruptcy, Francesca's, closed 342 stores, a
significant chunk of its footprint.
Openings to date stand at 4,311, a 41.8% increase over the same period in 2020.
The runaway leader in openings is Dollar General, with 1,035 new stores this
year, followed by Dollar Tree with 393 openings.
While Dollar General and other dollar stores, including Dollar Tree and
Five Below, account for more than a fourth of all openings, a whole range
of retailers are opening new shops. Burlington, Tractor Supply, Ross Stores, the
revived Payless, Old Navy, Target, Ulta, Nike, the
revived Charming Charlie and many others have all opened stores this
year, according to Coresight.
As for the slowed pace of closures this year, one reason is likely the similarly
slowed pace of retail bankruptcies, which often dominate the ranks of closures.
Major retail
bankruptcies tracked by Retail Dive had already hit 15 by this time last
year, and many of them closed stores or liquidated entirely. That figure is
almost twice the number of retailers that have filed for
bankruptcy so far this year.

From Unloading Trucks to Running Walmart
How Walmart CEO Doug McMillon went from unloading Walmart trucks as a teenager
to earning a $22 million salary
CEO Doug McMillon started his Walmart career
unloading trucks in Arkansas.
 Carl
Douglas McMillon was born in 1966 in Memphis, Tennessee. When he was 16, his
family moved to 'the birthplace of Walmart' - Bentonville, Arkansas. During the
summer, McMillon worked at the Walmart distribution center unloading trucks.
McMillon has worked across food, apparel, home furnishing, baby food, and more,
according to Bloomberg Businessweek. He worked as a general merchandise manager
at Sam's Club (Walmart's wholesale store) and climbed to a senior VP at
Walmart overseeing toys, electronics, and sporting goods.
In 2006, McMillon got his first truly high-profile job in the company, as CEO of
Sam's Club. According to The Wall Street Journal, that's where he made his
reputation by focusing on small-business owners.
Under McMillon, Walmart brought its "everyday low prices" mantra to the rest of
the world. International sales outpaced US sales, growing to 29% of the
company's total. This was just one accomplishment that led to his promotion to
CEO in 2014.
As CEO, McMillon has used his leadership skills beyond retail, seeking to make a
positive impact on other social issues. He has been called one of the most
'woke' CEOs in the country and was determined 'the most connected CEO' by
the Brunswick Group's Connected Leaders Survey.

Big Cities Become Magnets for ORC
Shoplifters ruling the roost at big city stores, pharmacy chains
Los Angeles was the top city affected by
organized retail crime in 2020, following by Chicago, Miami, New York and San
Francisco
A recent viral shoplifting incident has highlighted trends in parts of the
country where offenders at local drugstores rule the roost - in one case,
even able to ride through the store on a bike and take a garbage bag full of
stolen good as shoppers, and security watched on.
 A
spokesperson for Walgreens told Fox News at the time that the video depicts a
crime that was reported to police.
"Unfortunately, this is another example of blatant retail theft which is an
ongoing problem for several retailers in San Francisco,"
the spokesperson said.
A CVS official told the New York Post about 85% of the company's money losses
in San Francisco are a result of what the report described as "professional
crime."
In December, the
National Retail Federation (NRF) identified a list of top cities affected by
organized retail crime, with Los Angeles
ranking No.1. Chicago was found to be the
second-highest, following by Miami, New York and then
San Francisco, the
NRF found.
And months later, in March, the Attorney General Alliance, or AGA, hosted a
webinar on the topic, Georgia Attorney
General Christopher M. Carr described organized retail crime as "a growing
problem."
Shoplifting has long been a problem at stores in New York City, often
drugstores, such as CVS or Walgreens-owned Duane Reade, another region
where bail reform laws have relaxed penalties for certain types of crimes.

'This is the New 7-Eleven Convenience-Store
Stick-Em-Up'
Ex-FBI Official to CEOs: Your New Job Is Chief Risk Officer
Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant
director, offers a crash course on protecting your company from ransomware, deep
fakes, and other cybersecurity threats.
 What
are you doing tomorrow? Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director for
counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, wants you to block
off your morning and plan how you're going to handle your inevitable
cyberattack.
"This is the new robbery. This is the new 7-Eleven convenience-store stick-em-up,"
says Figliuzzi. "The time to make a decision is not in the middle of a crisis."
Figliuzzi recently talked about how to protect corporate brands and reputation
in the digital age with Gary Sheffer, a professor of public relations at Boston
University. They spoke in a webinar by Smart Works Collaborative, an initiative
on change and disruption in business from Westport, Connecticut, public
relations firm Meryl Moss Media Group. Figliuzzi, author of The FBI Way: Inside
the Bureau's Code of Excellence (Custom House, 2021), offered guidance that
business owners and leaders of organizations of all kinds can use to protect
against the growing threat of ransomware and other cybersecurity risks,
including deep fakes. Here are some takeaways you can put to work today.
Ransomware plans
According to Figliuzzi, the best course of action that a leader can take now to
protect against a ransomware attack is to assemble a crisis management team and
an IT leadership group, review your insurance policy for cyberattack coverage,
and talk with your insurers about it.
Deep fakes
Employees also need to know about deep fakes--realistic photos, audio, videos,
and other counterfeit imitations generated with artificial intelligence. They're
increasingly part of a typical financial fraud scheme. For example, Figliuzzi
explains, an employee may receive a video showing someone who looks exactly like
the CEO saying to move a large amount of money into an account by the end of the
day. Similarly, employees are now receiving deep-fake phone calls that sound
exactly like the CEO asking for money to be moved into an account, he says.
Remote-work cybersecurity risks
As companies bring employees back into an office setting after a year or more of
remote work, more security issues could be on the horizon, particularly if your
business isn't on the cloud or using a VPN, Figliuzzi says.

Cybercrime's New 'Most Wanted' Fugitive List
Like all Russians with a couple even smiling
US Secret Service Releases 'Most Wanted' Cyber Fugitive List
 The
U.S. Secret Service has published a
Most Wanted Fugitives list featuring 10 suspects wanted in connection
with financial cybercrimes.
The publishing of the Most Wanted Fugitive list, which is similar to the
FBI's Most Wanted
List, comes as the Secret Service has been increasingly involved in
pursuing and investigating cyber-related financial crimes. In July 2020, the
agency announced its
Cyber Fraud Task Force, which combined agents and resources from the
Electronic Crimes Task Forces and Financial Crimes Task Forces.
The Secret Service is offering rewards of up to $1 million for information
leading to the arrests of two suspects who allegedly targeted the U.S.
Security and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system server in 2016
"These criminals represent a selection of untouchable cybercriminals -
most of which enjoy a protection racket from specific regimes," Kellermann says,
noting that many of the suspects listed appear to be living in other nations.

Department of Defense Tackles Cybersecurity
DOD Wants Partners to Up Their Cybersecurity Game, Official Says
The Defense Department wants to help its partner contractors, large and
small, become better at their own cybersecurity efforts, the deputy
assistant of defense for cyber policy said yesterday.
 "We
definitely want to make sure that size is not an obstacle to working with the
Defense Department," Mieke Eoyang said at the Defense One Tech Summit. "And we
are trying to figure out how to make it easier for [contractors] to understand
what kinds of better security practices are out there and what they can do to
protect themselves."
Eoyang said U.S. adversaries are very much aware that DOD relies on innovation,
but she added DOD doesn't just look at only large contractors when looking for a
technological edge. It's also important for contractors to adopt best practices
in cybersecurity - such as turning on multi-factor authentication, using
cloud migration or working with cybersecurity companies - to enhance their
own security, she said.
DOD participates in whole-of-government activities to target and disrupt
ransomware, the deputy assistant secretary said, adding that the department is
willing to work through its intelligence and law enforcement partners to provide
insights to disrupt such threats.
It's vital for industry to think about this from the perspective of resilience,
Eoyang said of protection in cybersecurity.
"Companies need to be prepared for the possibility that it could happen to
them," Eoyang said. "They need to improve their security, make themselves
harder targets, but also really think about continuity of operations, so if, or
when, they get hit, they know how to keep moving and how to work around the
problem. But I don't think that we want to be in a position where people are
turning to the Department of Defense to try and stop every single criminal gang
out there .... We have to be able to focus on those nation state adversaries,
and we do focus on that. But in the meantime, people also need to focus on
improving their own resilience, being harder targets."
DOD is resilient and mature in its cybersecurity practices, the deputy assistant
secretary said. "I think it's very clear from the president on down ... and
other countries should make no mistake about the seriousness with which the
United States treats this problem and our interest in being able to get after
malicious actors."

'Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Expansion
Act'
Senators propose bill to help tackle cybersecurity workforce shortage
Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Friday introduced
legislation meant to tackle parts of the government's cyber workforce shortage.
The
Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Expansion Act would establish a
cybersecurity apprenticeship program at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA), along with create a program at the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide veterans with cybersecurity training.
The bill was introduced after months of escalating cyberattacks aimed at
critical U.S. organizations.
The SolarWinds hack, discovered in December, allowed Russian government-backed
hackers to compromise nine federal agencies and 100 private sector groups for
most of 2020, while new vulnerabilities announced in March in Microsoft's
Exchange Server application potentially compromised thousands more groups.
Ransomware attacks have also become an increasing threats, with both
Colonial Pipeline and meat producer JBS USA among the more high-profile victims
of ransomware in recent months.
Hassan pointed to the escalating attacks on Friday in stressing that "our
national cybersecurity infrastructure is woefully lacking."
"In order to bolster our cyber defenses and protect our critical infrastructure,
we need to increase the number of cybersecurity professionals in the federal
government," Hassan said in a statement. "This bipartisan bill will also
help address the workforce challenges in the veteran community by standing up a
cyber-training program at the VA to help veterans secure good-paying, stable
jobs, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation."
Cornyn said in a separate statement that "cyber threats are evolving each
day, and we must have a workforce prepared to respond."

Encrypted Chat & Communications Services
Amazon Acquires Secure Messaging Platform Wickr
AWS CISO Stephen Schmidt says the
acquisition is strategic amid the proliferation of remote work.
Amazon Web Services has acquired Wickr, a provider of encrypted chat and
communications services.
AWS is offering Wickr services "effective immediately" to its customers,
according to a statement from AWS Vice President and Chief Information Security
Officer, Stephen Schmidt.
Schmidt notes that AWS' interest in the company is due in part to the need
for improved communications protection amid a now widespread remote workforce.
"With the move to hybrid work environments, due in part to the COVID-19
pandemic, enterprises and government agencies have a growing desire to protect
their communications," he says in the statement.

"We will organize Amazon," Teamsters President
Jimmy Hoffa says
Teamsters' push to organize Amazon: Will it work?
Delegates to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters convention voted
overwhelmingly for a nationwide push to organize hundreds of thousands of
Amazon's warehouse and delivery workers, a formidable task given the e-commerce
behemoth's fierce antiunion stance.
"We will organize Amazon," said the union's outgoing general president,
James P. Hoffa. "In my more than two decades of service, I've yet to
see a threat quite like the one Amazon presents to hardworking people, small
businesses, the logistics industry and our nation's middle class."
With 1.4 million members, the Teamsters will "fully fund and supply all
resources necessary" to address "Amazon's exploitation of its employees,
contractors and employees of contractors," the resolution stated.
The union last year appointed Randy Korgan, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters
Local 1932 in San Bernardino, to a position as national director for Amazon,
and said it would create an Amazon division dedicated to the campaign.
The new effort is aimed not just at growing the ranks of organized labor but
also at protecting wages, benefits and workplace standards in
Teamster-represented companies such as UPS, which are under pressure to
replicate Amazon's relentless push for speed and productivity.
The Teamsters, which had revenue of more than
$200 million last year, declined to say how much it would spend or how
many staffers it would devote to the Amazon project.
The Teamsters are ramping up advocacy for antitrust enforcement, labor policy
reform and global solidarity aimed at Amazon.

Sellers Manipulating Product Listings?
Amazon, Google Probed in U.K. Over Fake Reviews
U.K. regulator opens investigation into
whether tech giants are doing enough to deter sellers from manipulating product
listings
 The
U.K.'s antitrust regulator launched an investigation into whether Amazon and
Google are doing enough to crack down on fake reviews, adding a new layer to
regulatory scrutiny of U.S. tech giants.
The Competition and Markets Authority said Friday the move stems from concerns
Amazon and Alphabet Inc.'s Google haven't been doing enough to address fake
reviews on their sites, but added that it hasn't yet reached a view on
whether the companies have broken the law.
The tech giants have for years been
dogged by inauthentic reviews, whereby third-party sellers offer
financial rewards for reviewing their products. But the practice is hard for
the companies to police, with compensation coordinated out of their reach.
The move comes amid recent investigations into Silicon Valley's market power
and privacy practices, turning the spotlight to misleading online reviews.
The coronavirus pandemic has prompted a shift to online consumption, increasing
consumers' reliance on online reviews to decide on product purchases.
The CMA's decision follows an initial investigation, opened in May 2020,
assessing several platforms' internal systems and processes for spotting and
dealing with fake reviews. The work raised concerns that Amazon and Google
weren't doing enough to detect fake and misleading reviews and suspicious
behavior, investigate and promptly remove fake reviews, or impose adequate
sanctions on reviewers or businesses to deter them.
The CMA also said it was concerned Amazon's systems were failing to adequately
stop or deter sellers from manipulating product listings, like co-opting reviews
from other products.
U.S. lawmakers in 2019 questioned Amazon's efforts to fight fake reviews
in a letter to Chief Executive Jeff Bezos. The Federal Trade Commission also in
2019 fined a retail website that paid a third party to post reviews on Amazon,
in its first case against the use of fake paid reviews.

Biggest Retail Hacking Case on Record
Billion Dollar Hacking Gang 'Fin7' Stole Over 20 Million CC's & Hit Over 6,500
POS Terminals @ 3,600 Locations
High-Level Member of Hacking Group Gets 7 Yrs Prison for Scheme that Compromised
Tens of Millions of Debit & Credit Cards
Overall Damage to Banks, Merchants, Card
Companies, and Consumers Estimated at More than $1 Billion
 A
Ukrainian national was sentenced today in the Western District of Washington to
seven years in prison for his role in the criminal work of the hacking
group FIN7. The defendant was also ordered by the court to pay
restitution in the amount of $2,500,000.
Andrii Kolpakov, 33, who has used a number of different names, served as
a high-level hacker, whom the group referred to as a "pen tester," for FIN7. He
was arrested in Lepe, Spain, on June 28, 2018, at the request of U.S. law
enforcement and was extradited to the United States on June 1, 2019. In June
2020, he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one
count of conspiracy to commit computer hacking.
Since at least 2015, members of FIN7 (also referred to as Carbanak Group and the
Navigator Group, among other names) engaged in a highly sophisticated malware
campaign to attack hundreds of U.S. companies, predominantly in
the restaurant, gambling and hospitality industries. FIN7 hacked into
thousands of computer systems and stole millions of customer credit and debit
card numbers that were then used or sold for profit. FIN7, through its
dozens of members, launched waves of malicious cyberattacks on numerous
businesses operating in the United States and abroad.
In the United States alone, FIN7 successfully breached the computer networks
of businesses in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, stealing
more than 20 million customer card records from over
6,500 individual point-of-sale terminals at more than 3,600 separate business
locations. According to court documents, victims incurred enormous
costs that, according to some estimates, exceeded $1
billion.
Additional intrusions occurred abroad, including in the United Kingdom,
Australia and France. Companies that have publicly disclosed hacks attributable
to FIN7 include Chipotle Mexican Grill, Chili's, Arby's, Red Robin and
Jason's Deli.

San Francisco, CA: 'But then you need to walk
up and kill everybody?'
Two plead guilty to plotting $3 million robbery, kidnapping for ransom of
Norther California Marijuana grower
Two years after they were indicted on charges of plotting to commit a $3 million
robbery of a marijuana-related cash shipment in Northern California, two of the
three defendants have entered guilty pleas. The defendants, Emanoel Borisov and
Evgeni Kopankov, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and
conspiracy to commit kidnapping, the latter of which carries a potential life
sentence. They entered the pleas last week before U.S. District Judge Vince
Chhabria.
The prosecution against a third defendant, Paul Brooks, remains active, court
records show. Borisov and Kopankov are set to be sentenced in late September.
According to the criminal complaint, filed in April 2019, the three plotted to
rob a large-scale marijuana grower in Northern California, agreeing that Borisov
and Kopankov would do "the hard part" by kidnapping a courier and forcing the
man to reveal the location of a $3 million cash stash at a Humboldt County
property. Kopankov, who knew the would-be victims, allegedly planned to spread
false rumors that "Mexicans" were upset with them, in order to misdirect blame
after the deed was done.

It only takes seven seconds to make a first impression. With a job on the line,
the pressure to immediately impress is even more intense. No wonder everyone can
get frustrated.
The good news is that no matter what goes wrong -- you go to the wrong building,
you spill water, you mispronounce the company name -- it's all about how you
recover. The first rule is -- relax, take a deep breath and make a joke about
it. Humility, honesty and calming down is the key to showing the employer that
even when you're under pressure, you'll react the right way. Think about this
before your interview because if something does happen you won't have time to
think.
Just a Thought,
Gus
