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.

This bill mentions the word "Theft" 22 times. It was signed into law by Governor DeSantis on 4/9/2024 in Stuart FL, at our local Walgreens, 1.5 miles down the road from the CIS Security Solutions offices.

This webinar is presented by the Loss Prevention Foundation in partnership with CIS Security Solutions.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Theft & Fraud Top Issues Impacting Grocery Retailers
FMI Study: The biggest problems affecting grocery retailers are theft and fraud
Although supply chain, transportation, labor and out-of stock problems have eased for food retailers, another major issue impacting profitability is on the rise.

The number one challenge currently facing the industry has become asset protection, with 85% of food retailers citing increasing theft and fraud as the biggest problems negatively affecting business, according to the Food Industry Association's (FMI) annual research analysis, "The Food Retailing Industry Speaks 2024."

Additionally, two-thirds (64%) of retail respondents cited societal challenges, including a lack of civility, drug use, and violence, as issues that negatively impact operations. (FMI's Asset Protection Survey found that more than 80% of retailers have plans in place to address many of these challenges.)

In other findings, the uncertain economic outlook is not preventing grocery retailers from investing in innovative strategies to improve customer experience and increase growth, with the top initiative being experimenting with in-store technologies to enhance the shopping experience (81%).

Technology is also playing a bigger role in the grocery shopping experience, with 41% of food retailers reporting using artificial intelligence (AI) for parts of their businesses - nearly doubling year-over-year.

The 75th annual report surveyed food retailers' and suppliers' 2023 developments and expectations for the year ahead, finding that while the industry made key strides in addressing longstanding labor and transportation capacity issues, inflation and other financial hurdles caused industry profit margins to fall to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

By addressing these persistent supply chain issues, retailers also reported a dramatic drop in out-of-stock rates, falling from 10.7% in 2022 to 6.5% in 2023, which is even lower than the typical historic rate of 8%. chainstoreage.com


Georgia's 'Combating Organized Retail Crime Act' Blocked By Judge
Judge blocks Georgia's online sales law, a win for Meta, Craigslist, others

'Combating Organized Retail Crime Act,' was meant to thwart resale of stolen goods

Georgia's new law extending data collection requirements for online marketplaces such as Nextdoor and Craigslist can't stand as it conflicts with federal law, an Atlanta judge has decided.

The
"Combating Organized Retail Crime Act" was due to take effect Monday. It requires online marketplaces to obtain and verify information about high-volume sellers whether sales go through the marketplace or not, in an effort to curb online sales of stolen items.

U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg temporarily blocked enforcement of the law in an order Sunday, ruling that
it conflicts with the federal "Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act," known as the INFORM Consumers Act, implemented in 2022.

The federal law only requires online marketplaces to collect bank account, contact and tax identification data about high-volume sellers whose sales are processed through the marketplace. Georgia already had a corresponding law in place, which legislators amended this year to include sales that marketplaces don't handle.

Grimberg's ruling means the state's new law can't be enforced while it is litigated. NetChoice, the trade association for online marketplaces including Google, Amazon and eBay, sued Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to void the law.

Competing Anti-Crime Measures on California's Ballot - Which Will Win?
California voters will decide an anti-crime measure in November. Democrats say this one is better

Gov. Newsom and legislative leaders put forward a ballot measure to compete with one that would roll back Proposition 47 and increase penalties for theft and drug trafficking. The Democrats' proposal calls for a new felony for drug dealers who cut fentanyl into other drugs and for increased penalties for repeat thieves.

Democratic legislative leaders tonight unveiled a ballot measure they say will reduce retail theft and punish drug suppliers who sell fentanyl-tainted products to unwitting consumers.

It's designed as an alternative to a measure already on the November ballot that would increase punishments and roll back Proposition 47, which voters approved in 2014 and which reduced certain property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, provided that the stolen goods aren't worth more than $950.

But Democrats' efforts have already drawn scorn from Republican legislators, who called the second ballot measure a "shady" attempt to confuse voters. Assembly GOP leader James Gallagher of Chico called it a "Deep Fake reform initiative" in a social media post tonight, while Senate leader Brian Jones of San Diego called the bill "a blatant attempt to undermine the will of the people."

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic legislative leaders had said that Prop. 47 didn't need to be changed. They tried to persuade the Prop. 47 repeal proponents to withdraw their measure by proposing a package of retail theft bills - and later adding amendments to kill these bills if they are signed into law and if voters approved the repeal measure.

That strategy appeared to fail, leading to this alternative measure instead. Even some Democrats rebelled. And late Saturday, Democrats removed those "poison pill" amendments from the bills. calmatters.org


Independence Day Week Brings Surge in Cargo Theft Risk
CargoNet warns of heightened cargo theft risk during July 4th holiday week
CargoNet, a Verisk business and leader in cargo theft prevention and recovery, today issued an urgent advisory to the logistics industry, warning of an increased risk of cargo theft during the upcoming July 4th holiday week as extended business closures can create an advantageous operating environment for cargo thieves.

Based on an analysis of 174 thefts that occurred between July 1 and July 7 over the past five years, CargoNet has identified several key trends:

Peak Risk Days: July 1 and 2 consistently show the highest rates of theft, likely due to loaded conveyances left unattended before the holiday.

Increasing Trend: While 2023 saw record-high theft rates, 2024 is on track to surpass those numbers.

High-Risk Areas: California, Texas, and Florida remain the states most targeted by cargo thieves. The counties of San Bernardino, CA; Maricopa, AZ; Dallas, TX; Los Angeles, CA; and Shelby, TN are particular hotspots.

Targeted Items: Thieves show a preference for non-alcoholic beverages (especially energy drinks), major appliances, and computer electronics.

Theft Methods: Direct cargo and conveyance theft continues to be more common than complex fraud schemes.

"Cargo thieves are well aware that extended holiday closures work to their advantage," said Keith Lewis, vice president of operations at CargoNet "With theft activity already surpassing 2023's record highs, we urge the industry to remain vigilant throughout the holiday weekend." ajot.com


Will 2024 See Surging Mass Shootings Over Independence Day?
4th of July mass shootings increased over the past 3 years, group says

There have been 80 total mass shootings during the holiday since 2021.

Mass shootings are becoming more frequent during a holiday typically known for fireworks and barbecues, according to a nonprofit that tracks shootings.

There were 80 total mass shootings over the past three years between July 1-7, said Mark Bryant, the executive director of the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), a nonprofit which tracks shootings in the United States.

There were 25 mass shootings over the July 4th week in 2021, 27 during that week in 2022 and 28 in 2023.

"What happens around the fourth is you have more gatherings, you have more heat, you have more agitate, and this is the big one, and I think this is what's going to keep causing the numbers to go up, you have anger and proximity to weapons," Bryant told ABC News.

Steve Casstevens, who retired as chief of police in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and served as a past president for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) told ABC News the increase in shootings during the Fourth of July "happens every year."  abcnews.go.com


Retail Theft Laws Making a Positive Impact
Alabama Retail Association says new retail theft law effective so far
The state's new retail theft law has not even been around an entire year yet, but the Alabama Retail Association says it is working. They are noticing the sign of success, pointing to news headlines.

"We've had arrests in Cullman, and in Mobile, and in Hoover," said Nancy Dennis with the Alabama Retail Association. She says the Retail Theft Crime Prevention Act is already stopping shoplifters. It creates harsher penalties for thieves and crime-ring organizers. Nancy says organized crime is an industry in itself.

She says these criminals were not being prosecuted, stealing just under the threshold for charges. Now, prosecutors can group multiple thefts together.

Stealing over $2,500 of products is now a class B felony, and people caught four or more times for any amount will face a class C felony.

The Alabama Retail Association says this law also allows businesses to sign out warrants for arrests without leaving their stores, and provides training for prosecutors and law enforcement officials. wsfa.com

Zebra Technologies Has Saved Walgreens Millions Over 5 Years
'This optimization effort has resulted in significant cost savings, helping the company better manage operations and combat retail shrinkage.'

Will Zebra Technologies Help Walgreens Bounce Back?
In a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience, Walgreens Boots Alliance has successfully integrated Zebra Technologies' Workcloud Actionable Intelligence software. This optimization effort has resulted in significant cost savings, helping the company better manage operations and combat retail shrinkage.

The integration of Zebra's Workcloud suite includes Actionable Intelligence, Task Management, and Demand Intelligence software. These tools are designed to streamline task management, improve inventory accuracy, and reduce total retail loss. By using Zebra's modular software in conjunction with its hardware solutions, Walgreens has effectively increased operational visibility and compliance.

The financial benefits of implementing Zebra's Workcloud Actionable Intelligence are substantial. Walgreens has saved millions of dollars over five years, thanks to improved operational compliance and the ability to swiftly identify and address areas of loss. The comprehensive deployment of Zebra's software and hardware solutions has benefited 20,000 associates across various roles, including asset protection, store operations, pharmacy management, and inventory specialists.

Tim Bailey, senior manager of asset protection solutions at Walgreens Boots Alliance, highlighted the positive impact of these advancements. The deployment of Zebra's solutions has empowered Walgreens' workforce, improving associate engagement and elevating the overall customer experience. This technology-driven approach has also enabled Walgreens to address phantom inventory, shelf gaps, fraud detection, and markdown non-compliance, reducing waste by 27%.

However, Walgreens plans to close numerous underperforming stores across the U.S. as part of a multi-year effort to enhance efficiency and financial health.

Furthermore, Walgreens and other retail pharmacy chains have been grappling with escalating shoplifting incidents since the pandemic, prompting measures such as locking up items and closing high-theft locations. However, Walgreens' challenges run deeper, involving stiff competition and unsuccessful growth strategies. In fact, Walgreens acknowledged last year that it might have overstated the impact of shoplifting on its business. retailwire.com


Could OSHA's Enforcement Power Be Stripped by Latest Supreme Court Decision?
U.S. Supreme Court decision threatens FCC and OSHA's regulatory framework
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court dismantled decades of regulatory law, significantly complicating the ability of federal agencies like the FCC and OSHA to issue rules and regulations based on broad congressional mandates. This ideological ruling overturned a 40-year-old precedent that has guided how agencies interpret federal statutes.

The Supreme Court reversed the 1984 Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council decision. This precedent established that courts should defer to federal agencies' reasonable interpretations when a statute is ambiguous. The unanimous 1984 ruling allowed agencies to use their expertise to fill legislative gaps, ensuring that broad congressional mandates were effectively implemented.

Chevron deference has been applied in cases where the FCC's interpretation of the Communications Act was challenged. Courts have often upheld the FCC's interpretations, recognizing the agency's expertise in telecommunications law. This deference was crucial in decisions regarding net neutrality, where the FCC's classification of broadband internet access under Title II of the Communications Act was supported by courts due to Chevron deference​.

OSHA has interpreted Chevron deference in its enforcement actions. Courts have applied Chevron deference to OSHA's interpretation of various statutory provisions. For example, the D.C. Circuit used Chevron deference in a case involving OSHA's statute of limitations, supporting the agency's interpretation. Similarly, the Fifth Circuit applied Chevron deference to OSHA's interpretation regarding safety regulations affecting other employers' employees. wirelessestimator.com

Retailers Need 'Robust Cybersecurity Solutions'
Securing retail environments with single stack security

Jonathan Wright, Head of Products and Operations, GCX, outlines security concerns facing retail businesses and discusses how to secure retail environments.

Over four in five UK consumers are digital buyers. With so many consumers shopping online, customer data such as addresses, bank details, and passwords is attractive for hackers who can profit from selling or misusing that data.

Attacks on retailers' digital infrastructure are becoming alarmingly common and the UK retail sector lost £11.3 billion to payments fraud last year, figures suggest. Even major supermarket chains like SPAR and Tesco have unfortunately fallen victim to these sophisticated attacks. Robust cybersecurity solutions are crucial to prevent website outages, which can lead to lost sales, hefty fines and damaged customer trust. Today's customers expect uninterrupted online experiences. So, simply put, any downtime directly translates to frustrated shoppers abandoning carts and a tarnished brand reputation.

Consumers' shopping preferences

More customers want to purchase across multiple channels to get what they want. Information about products, stock and customers must be available on different platforms, including in-store, online, mobile, kiosks and in-store tablets. While businesses that provide a set of seamlessly integrated channels as an omnichannel, cater to customer preferences, opening them up to new revenue streams, they are also exposing themselves to new fraud challenges.

With such a large amount of data needed to make omnichannel businesses tick, they are a ripe target for cybercriminals looking to obtain a deep level of personal data that can be harvested for further fraud.

As the volume of threats increases, retailers must reassess their cybersecurity practices to ensure they are robust and resilient enough to protect their customers, regardless of whether they are shopping online, in-store or at a pop-up location. By prioritising digital experiences and leveraging data analytics, businesses can gain real-time insights into products, inventory and customer behaviour. This empowers them to deliver seamless customer journeys and boost revenue.

What's Your DDoS Response Plan?
Why every company needs a DDoS response plan
Today's DDoS attacks are not what they were even a few years ago, and we continue to see DDoS attacks that are framed as the largest in history (though larger ones are certainly yet to come, unfortunately). Additionally, they are now even more carefully choreographed by bad actors who can rapidly identify weaknesses, tailor new vectors for attacks, and make adjustments in real-time based on perceived vulnerabilities to exploit.

As a result, large organizations need adaptive, multilayered defense capabilities that can respond just as quickly to different types of attacks as they are presented, including large volumetric and more targeted application-layer attacks.

Moreover, the inconvenient truth is that bad actors continue to find new methodologies to orchestrate attacks. It's important that security professionals stay up to date on emerging trends and embrace technologies like intelligence feeds and AI that can help automate responses, even against brand-new, zero-day attack methodologies. helpnetsecurity.com


TeamViewer's IT network breached through compromised employee credentials
TeamViewer, a global provider of remote access software, said the state-linked threat group Midnight Blizzard is behind a cyberattack that leveraged a compromised employee account to gain access to the company's IT network.

The hackers were able to copy TeamViewer employee directory data, including names, corporate contact information and encrypted employee passwords, the company said. The attack did not impact the company's production environment, connectivity platform or any customer data.

TeamViewer said it has worked with its incident response partner Microsoft to mitigate the risk of access to encrypted passwords; it has since hardened authentication procedures for employees. The company has also started to rebuild its internal IT environment. cybersecuritydive.com

Fake Online Reviews 'Wreaking Havoc' on Businesses
A guide on spotting fake reviews and being a savvy online consumer
'Tis the digital age, and it doesn't matter if it's a television you're looking to buy or a tiny vegetable chopper, product reviews are holy. And these reviews apply to other services too - like booking hotels or trying new restaurants. But there's always a catch, and lurking beneath the surface of seemingly helpful feedback can often be a sinister underbelly of fake reviews.

Deceptive endorsements, crafted to manipulate and mislead, can wreak havoc on a business's reputation or send you down a path of buyer's remorse. In 2023 alone, Tripadvisor removed a staggering 1.3 million fraudulent reviews! Another research conducted by the UK government found that 11-15% of reviews in specific product categories were thought to be fraudulent.

So, how can you, the savvy online consumer, navigate this minefield of opinions? Here's a survival guide:

Trust your spidey sense: Genuine reviews feel real. They offer a balanced perspective, highlighting both the good and the bad. If a review gushes with unbridled praise or spews negativity without explanation, approach with caution.

Read between the lines: Authentic feedback has a personal touch. It reflects the reviewer's unique experience. Beware of generic, repetitive reviews that sound like marketing copy - they might just be cleverly disguised ads.

Digging deeper: Look for details! Genuine reviewers often provide specifics about what they encountered. Did the product have a faulty feature? Was the delivery delayed? Reviews lacking concrete details raise red flags.
Spot the anomalies: Be wary of sudden bursts of overwhelmingly positive or negative reviews. These could be orchestrated attempts to manipulate ratings, not genuine consumer voices.

Review the reviewer: Just like you wouldn't trust a stranger's advice on the street, don't blindly accept every online review. Look for reviewers who establish credibility through details about their experience.

Fight the good fight: We all have a role to play in combating fake reviews. Platforms like Amazon offer guidelines for spotting deception, and consumer groups can provide valuable insights.

The tech takeover: The good news? Technology is on our side. Advancements in AI are creating tools to identify suspicious patterns and flag potential fake reviews. By analysing social media interactions and spotting suspicious language, AI helps maintain the integrity of online review systems. msn.com


Amazon Facing Stiff Competition
Amazon faces uphill battle against Temu and Shein as it woos Chinese merchants, analysts say
Amazon.com's plan to launch a discount shopping section would appeal to mainland Chinese suppliers with pricing flexibility, but competing with Temu and Shein in selling low-priced merchandise will not be easy, according to analysts.

The US e-commerce giant told Chinese merchants in an invite-only meeting on Wednesday that this new online budget marketplace will feature non-branded fashion items, household goods and daily necessities, which will ship directly to consumers from warehouses on the mainland in nine to 11 days.

That plan, first reported by online tech publication The Information, has already made a splash within China's cross-border e-commerce community, where heated discussions centred around joining this marketplace and related Amazon policies. This programme, however, is only open to select sellers. finance.yahoo.com

West Hollywood, CA: Video shows thieves giving each other high-fives after West Hollywood $700k Jewelry heist
A group of thieves pulled off a shocking jewelry heist in West Hollywood, California. Surveillance video captured the group celebrating, and even giving each other high-fives during the break-in. It happened last week between June 17 and June 18 at Huener Jewelry on Santa Monica Boulevard. The owner's son told our sister station KABC the group took the store's entire inventory, including several safes. "At first I thought they like cut a hole through the wall, and they got in, and they did a quick robbery and they left, but it turned out ... it took more than 24 hours," said Robert Goukasian, who said the store's alarms never went off. He said the four suspects completed the heist in two trips - one in the early morning hours and another late at night. They broke in through the business next-door by cutting a hole through the wall and ultimately emptied two large safes that contained hundreds of pieces of one-of-a-kind jewelry. In surveillance footage, you can see the four suspects working together to get into a safe. At one point, they're seen smiling, giving each other high-fives and even sharing hugs.  abc30.com


Gwinnett County, GA: 2 women went on a $8,000 shopping spree at Mall of Georgia
Police say they didn't purchase anything. Gwinnett police are searching for two women accused of stealing items from several stores in the Mall of Georgia.

When the employee confronted the duo, police say they dropped the items and ran away, leaving the car behind. Officers searched the car and found six large trash bags filled with merchandise from nine different stores inside the Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett officials said in total, the stolen items were worth $8,000. Police have secured 54 warrants, with both suspects being charged with five counts of felony theft by shoplifting, nine counts of possession of tools for the commission of a crime, nine counts of loitering and prowling, and four counts of misdemeanor shoplifting.

Investigators uncovered that the culprits had targeted several Nassau County locations, including two Winn-Dixie stores in Yulee and Callahan, along with two Ace Hardware stores.

Social networking sites have in essence dissolved any distance between the professional and the personal life of an executive. They enable employers to see every aspect of one's life at any given moment and can show historical patterns that resumes may not overcome in the future. What a person does on the net stays on the net, what is written will be read and, as time goes on, background checks will include social networks that go well beyond Linkedin. On the flip side, one could do well to maintain a sense of professionalism in every thing they do on the net and their profiles.
