Q&A with Chris Fowler, Director of Emerging Technologies at ADT Commercial, Part One
We’re seeing a rise in violent incidents at businesses and storefronts across the country. What types of industries/workplaces are most impacted?Workplace crime and violent incidents can happen anywhere within any organization. We are particularly concerned about the safety of front-line workers – from retail to public transportation to financial services. Employers must step in with better policies and tools to protect their greatest asset: their workforce. What mistakes are employers making when it comes to creating policies and investing in tools to protect their workforce? Businesses must pay attention to the issue and take critical steps to implement and enforce better policies and solutions to protect their workforce. The adage, “If you see something, say something,” is no longer enough to manage and prevent violent incidents in public spaces and storefronts. To solve this, employers must continue to assess their existing policies and security programs to see where they can improve, then commit to doing what it takes to make those improvements. What new technologies are poised to change/improve how we protect public spaces and businesses? How soon until these technologies will be widely available / adopted by businesses? Technology innovation in this space is happening quickly, focusing on tools to help de-escalate and prevent violent situations. security.world.com adt.com Part Two Tomorrow: At ADT Commercial, we’re focused on researching and developing three key technologies to support this.
Compared to last summer at this time in the study,
total shootings in these cities are up 1%, deaths are down 19%,
and injuries are up 2%.
Was this the most Violent 4th of July Weekend Ever?Fourth of July holiday weekend marked by at least 17 mass shootings, data showsAt least 17 mass shootings were recorded across the country over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, including a string of deadly incidents that left as many as 18 people dead, data published by the Gun Violence Archive showed. The shootings were recorded between Friday evening and into the early hours of Wednesday morning, according to the archive, a nonprofit that tracks gun violence in the U.S. and which defines a mass shooting as a single incident in which at least four people, other than the shooter, are shot. At least 18 people were killed in the string of shootings, with at least 102 others injured, the archive said in a tweet. In Fort Worth, Texas, three people were killed and eight injured A mass shooting in Philadelphia on Monday night left five people dead and two others wounded Two Fatally shot 28 others injured after gunfire broke out at a neighborhood block party in Baltimore on Sunday. Three people were killed and seven others injured following a shooting just before midnight Tuesday in Shreveport, Louisiana Multiple mass shootings also unfolded in the early hours of Wednesday morning, including a shooting during a block party on Maryland's Eastern Shore that left a 14-year-old boy dead and at least six others injured. At least nine people, including a child and a teenager, were also injured in a separate shooting in the nation's capital early Wednesday during Fourth of July celebrations, Mass shootings were also recorded in a number of other states, including Illinois, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma. nbcnews.com
Nationwide Police Shortages - Decreased Response Times & Increased OversightThe wave of mass shootings over the Fourth of July highlights the challenges police faceA rash of shootings as the U.S. celebrated the Fourth of July is spiking fears in communities across the country and highlighting the challenges police face in preventing such violence as temperatures warm and festivities move outside. Policing such events is a delicate balance for law enforcement, who must weigh the right of revelers to gather with the threat of violence that looms in public and private spaces in a nation awash with guns. Violence often surges in the summer months, when teens are out of school and there are more social events that can quickly turn deadly when tempers flare. Curfews for young people and increased police presence on the streets are among the strategies cities have historically used to try to combat summer violence. The gun violence that flared this week in Washington, D.C, Louisiana, Florida, Philadelphia, Texas and Baltimore left more than a dozen dead and almost 60 wounded — including children as young as 2 years old. The wave of killings came as the Chicago suburb of Highland Park was marking the anniversary of last year’s mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade that left seven people dead. Security was tight at events aimed at honoring those killed, and the day was capped by a drone show instead of fireworks to avoid the noise that could sound like gunfire. apnews.com
New ORC LawWyoming: Five strikes and you’re in: New law makes repeated thefts a felonyA fifth or consecutive theft conviction can now land Wyomingites in prison for up to 10 years, regardless of the stolen goods’ value. House Bill 112 – Theft-penalty for fifth or subsequent offense went into effect July 1. It was already a felony to steal something worth over $1,000 in Wyoming — or a “firearm, horse, mule, sheep, cattle, buffalo or swine” of any value — but this new law enables a fifth theft conviction to become a felony, regardless of the stolen good’s price. Misdemeanor thefts in Wyoming come with penalties of up to six months in county jail and a $750 fine. In contrast, felony thefts carry prison terms and fines of up to $10,000. Supporters see it as a way to stop serial offenders, but others view it as harmful to communities and fear an increase in prison crowding.
'Raise the Age' in NY Contributes to the Shoplifting & ORC EpidemicEver more teen shooters and victims: Blame Heastie’s Raise the AgeNew York’s grimmest July 4th tradition — increased gun violence — continued unabated this year, with a troubling twist: younger victims and equally young shooters. Over the holiday weekend, gunfire continued to erupt in Big Apple neighborhoods: In January, The Post’s review of NYPD gun data revealed a spike in gun violence involving under-18 victims — with other youngsters pulling the trigger in most cases Now that summer has arrived, this troubling trend continues. NYPD stats show most major crimes are down, including gun violence, but crimes involving teens, such as car thefts and shootings, are rising. “Youth crime spiked while accountability disappeared,” says Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon of the Raise the Age law. Albany DA David Soares warns such reforms’ “most devastating impact on black and brown communities.” Prior to RTA, it seems guns didn’t get into the hands of 15- and 16-year-olds because they faced real prison time if they shot people. Since RTA passed, New York’s gone from young teens holding guns for older gangbangers to kids blasting away on their own. “We need our legislators and policymakers to deal with reality and get tough on these young people by restoring consequences for their actions to show them that a crime-free life is not only possible but desirable,” wrote McMahon in The Post last month. You don’t have to repeal Raise the Age, Mr. Speaker, but you’ve got to face the results and fix it somehow. The fate of the next generation is at stake. nypost.com
Fox News Report on June 30, 2023Residents Say Progressive Policy's Have Led to ThisSan Francisco crime wave intensifiesProperty crimes, on the other hand, have risen sharply since 2019. "It began after COVID and the just gotten a lot worst in last three or four months." "Crime is worse than the data shows," Charles "Cully" Stimson, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and former prosecutor in San Francisco, told Fox News Digital earlier this year. Baseball bat-wielding gangs of children are mugging mothers and nannies on the school run in the latest crime wave to hit San Francisco. Thursday, last week, the police had arrested one minor in connection with the 11 robberies and were searching for the others. Rafael Mandelman, San Francisco Board of Supervisors, said there are a growing number of children “doing these really awful things”. “I think, what happened with kids not being in school, I think there may be something going on with that, that we’re going to be experiencing for a while”, he said. He added: “Those couple of years where school was erratic or non-existent, where everyone was under stress, parents and caregivers were under stress. That was probably impacting vulnerable communities more anyway. Sociologically. who knows what was going on, but I would not be surprised if we are going to be experiencing the lingering impacts of that for a generation.” Chesa Boudin, a former district attorney, who was ousted last year, introduced policies in office including refusing to prosecute children as adults, aggressively going after police officers who commit crime, and reducing the prison population. There has been a 11 per cent increase in robberies for the first six months of the year when compared to the same period in 2022. Violent robberies are being carried out in broad daylight in wealthy enclaves such as Noe Valley, a tight-knit community. The city’s soft approach on crime has been good at “dismantling the systems” without fixing the underlying problems. "I don’t think that our interventions for people who are committing petty crimes are particularly effective. I mean, fine, you don’t put people in jail, but what are you doing? Well, if you’re doing nothing, then what’s the outcome going to be? Not great.” foxnews.com
Shoplifting Up 66.6% From 2019 Pre-Pandemic - 2019 2205 cases YTD - 2023 3674 cases YTDFairfax Co., VA., Police report shoplifting has increased 41.7% compared to last yearAccording to data from Fairfax County Police Department, there have been more than 1,000 cases of shoplifting so far this year compared to this time last year in Fairfax County.

Stockton, CA., Retailer Closing Due to Shoplifting and Crime
‘Evil parasite’: Victims’ loved ones confront El Paso Walmart gunman who killed 23 peoplePatrick Crusius, of Allen, faces survivors and victims’ relatives in this border community still shattered by the Aug. 3, 2019, mass shooting, the deadliest attack targeting Hispanic people in the nation’s history.EL PASO — One by one, in chilling, emotional testimony, the loved ones of the murder victims stared at the killer. They unleashed their fury. They called him a coward. A monster. The devil. “You’re an evil parasite,” said Thomas Hoffman, who grieved the loss of his father, Alexander Hoffman. “You are nothing without your weapon.” Hoffman and others finally had their chance to confront Patrick Crusius, a self-described white nationalist who killed 23 people at an El Paso Walmart in 2019. Crusius’ sentencing began Wednesday and was expected to last several days. He faced survivors and relatives of victims in this border community still shattered by the Aug. 3, 2019, mass shooting, the deadliest attack targeting Hispanic people in the nation’s history. 
Crusius, 24, of Allen, pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes after the Justice Department announced it would not seek the death penalty. On Wednesday, through his attorney, Crusius reserved his right not to address the courtroom until victims’ impact statements are read. “The federal sentencing stage is the first part of what will likely be a long healing process for this community,” said Pineda, chair of the Department of Communication at The University of Texas at El Paso. “Not only does the public nature of the sentencing allow the community to see Crusius for who he is, the penalty phase will allow many to reach some level of catharsis.” Crusius pleaded guilty to 90 federal charges, including hate crimes. He will likely be sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences, effectively keeping him in prison for the rest of his days. A total of 12 statements, 10 in person and two in writing, were completed Wednesday. The sentencing hearing will continue Thursday morning. dallasnews.com
Retailer's Chairman, CEO, CMO, an Assistant & Chairman's Wife Orchestrated $8M Pump & Dump SchemeSEC Charges Former Public Company Chairman and Officers in Fraudulent SEC Filings and $8 Million Pump-And-Dump SchemeSEC imposed $3M in sanctions against Andrew DeFrancesco, the former chairman of Cool Holdings.DeFrancesco, a Miami Beach, was charged with violating federal anti-fraud provisions in January. The SEC claimed he was the "chief architect" in a scheme to deceive investors about the success of publicly traded electronics retailer Cool Holdings. That included misrepresenting the Miami business' relationship with consumer technology giant Apple. According to court documents, DeFrancesco allegedly used false information to inflate the value of Cool Holdings' stock. He allegedly sold more than 1.6 million shares of company stock through accounts nominally controlled by his former wife, Catherine DeFrancesco, and other family members, which resulted in proceeds exceeding $8 million, the complaint said. The pair filed false beneficial ownership reports with the SEC to hide Andrew DeFrancesco's ownership stake in Cool Holdings, prosecutors said. At one point, he reportedly owned 32% of the company's outstanding shares. Cool Holdings was created in 2018 through the reverse merger of Cooltech Inc. and public company InfoSonics Inc. The business, later renamed Simply Inc., filed for bankruptcy last year and closed its retail locations. bizjournals.com Dec. 2, 2019 Press Release (Fraudulent): Cool Holdings Provides Corporate Update
TSA to expand its facial recognition program to over 400 airportsThe Transportation Security Administration is preparing to expand its controversial facial recognition program to around 430 airports over the next “several years” after finding “extremely promising” results from its pilot program. According to a TSA assessment of a pilot program that’s now under way at 25 airports, the agency has determined that its facial matching algorithms are 97% effective “across demographics, including dark skin tones,” says TSA press secretary Robert Langston, adding that the agency would not be publicly releasing the final results of the tests, which span two years of data. The pilot program is officially voluntary and uses what’s known as 1:1 facial matching technology to verify that a traveler standing at a checkpoint matches the photo on their physical ID. “The comparison is extremely accurate,” Langston says. TSA is also running a smaller pilot at two airports of what’s called 1:n facial recognition, which matches a face from a government database of images. That pilot is currently limited to “trusted travelers” like those enrolled in TSA PreCheck, and allows participants to verify their identities without taking out a physical ID at all. TSA doesn’t retain the details of people’s faces—what’s called biometric data—after the comparison is made. The agency declined to elaborate on what vendors are providing its facial recognition technology. 
'Week of Action' Declared by UFCW Union for 100,000 Kroger & Albertsons Employees in 11 StatesGrocery Store Workers Protest Merger to "Stop the Merger"Burbank shoppers saw the latest in the fracas between Kroger and Albertsons Companies’ grocery store employees and consumer groups as Burbank grocery workers rallied outside of Ralphs Thursday in protest of Kroger’s yet-unresolved acquisition of Albertsons. Warning that a merger of the grocery giants could devastate Burbank families, protesters — who were joined by local elected officials and union officials — hoped to educate shoppers and encourage them to contact the Federal Trade Commission to oppose the merger. The sentiment is echoed by the American Antitrust Institute, which wrote a letter to the FTC asking the regulator to challenge the merger on the grounds that it is illegal. The letter posited that the merger would lessen competition and tighten the supermarket oligopoly, which would incentivize illegal collusion. To add to Kroger’s list of woes impending on the merger, a group of 26 customers of Albertsons and/or Kroger have filed suit to block the merger, making similar claims to those written in the AAI letter. “Over 650 stores across the country are expected to be divested to meet the Federal Trade Commission’s requirements for the merger, and many of those stores will be in Southern California,” Rodriguez said. The protests in Burbank were part of a “week of action” where grocery workers from UFCW local unions — representing more than 100,000 Kroger and Albertsons employees in 11 states and the District of Columbia — held actions in front of grocery stores to connect with customers about the impacts of the proposed mega-merger and to urge them to contact the FTC to “Stop the Merger.” burbankleader.oulooknewspaper.com |

What Should a Chatbot Policy Look Like?CISO Ian Thornton-Trump on Chatbots and the Need for Human Oversight Chatbots are widely popular these days, but how secure are they? CISO Ian Thornton-Trump said he is opportunistic about using chatbots but warns that the technology needs oversight and testing to ensure "the responses that it's giving are accurate and the information it's able to access is also pertinent to the questions that are commonly asked." "A lot of corporate websites are complex beasts with functions and capabilities that reach deep into the businesses and deep into databases," said Thornton-Trump, who advised companies to make sure the technology "is pen-tested, that you're dealing with a reputable company, and that you also have an errors and omissions policy that will cover errors and omissions made by a chatbot or an AI thing." In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at Infosecurity Europe 2023, Thornton-Trump discussed:
At Cyjax, Thornton-Trump performs real-time analysis of immediate threats and keeps abreast of developing security threats. He previously worked as CTO at Octopi Managed Services. Prior to that, he served with the Military Intelligence Branch of the Canadian Forces, later joining the CF Military Police Reserves and retiring as a public affairs officer. After a year with the RCMP as a criminal intelligence analyst, he began working as a cybersecurity analyst/consultant for multinational insurance, banking and regional healthcare firms. Thornton-Trump teaches cybersecurity and IT business courses for CompTIA as part of its global faculty. govinfosecurity.com
The role for AI in cybersecurityWhere AI can harm securityOne of the dangers of generative AI is knowing the origin of information. There are few safeguards in place right now; AI hallucinations, when the technology provides incorrect information, can create real security risks. Sometimes generative AI is careful about what it will not share or it doesn’t have enough information to produce a complete answer, and this often results in bias in its answers, according to Chowdhury. Security teams need to consider how large language models are trained to not only provide correct information, but also to not disclose sensitive or regulated data. Of course, there are no perfect security models, so AI security should be built with the future in mind. Inevitably what AI is taught today will be wrong in the future. That could end up creating security risks if organizations aren’t prepared for the shifts in language and technology. Merging of ethics and securityThere is a misconception that when AI is sharing incorrect information, whether purposefully or by accident, it is automatically a security problem. But that’s not the case. Ethics and security aren’t the same, Rumman Chowdhury, co-founder of Bias Buccaneers, told an audience at RSA. “There’s one very specific distinction: Most of cybersecurity thinks about malicious actors, but a lot of irresponsible AI is built around unintended consequences and unintentionally implementing bad things,” said Chowdhury. Disinformation is a good example of this. Bad actors will create a malicious deepfake — and a security problem — but if people are sharing them because they believe the information, now you’ve moved into an ethics problem. “You have to address both problems,” said Chowdhury. An ethics approach will focus on the context on how something is used, but the security approach is meant to flag any potential problem. cybersecuritydive.com
Hackers Steal and Sell Victims' Bandwidth Using Proxyjacking - ResurgenceAttackers List Compromised Servers on Bandwidth-Sharing Platforms for Profit Cyber crooks are performing server hijacking, or proxyjacking, to make money from the sale of their victims' compromised bandwidth on proxy networks, a new report by security firm Akamai finds. Proxyjacking involves attackers replacing an authentic webpage to drive traffic to an imitation site. While the tactic has been active for a while, Akamai researchers say that in recent months a growing number of crooks are switching from crimes such as cryptomining and cryptojacking to proxyjacking. "With proxyjacking, the attacker doesn't just steal resources but also leverages the victim's unused bandwidth," the report's author, researcher Allen West, said. "This allows for the attacker to monetize an unsuspecting victim's extra bandwidth, with only a fraction of the resource load that would be required for cryptomining, with less chance of discovery," says West. Among hacking groups deploying this technique are Meris and Anonymous Sudan, who are targeting vulnerable secure shell protocols or SSH servers to gain remote access. The hackers then stealthily assign the compromised networks to proxy network services on bandwidth-sharing platforms such as Peer2Proxy or Honeygain, which pays its users for sharing their unused internet bandwidth. govinfosecurity.com |

Amazon Makes it On "Dirty Dozen" Unsafe Employers for 2023 ListThe National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH) has announced what it considers to be the “Dirty Dozen” employers for 2023. “The rate of U.S. workplace fatalities from sudden trauma is on the rise, and so is the rate of workplace injuries and illnesses,” said Jessica E. Martinez, MPH, co-executive director of National COSH, in a statement. Nationwide data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, said Martinez, shows that Latino/a and Black workers are dying on the job at a higher rate than other workers. In addition to focusing on alarming national trends, said Martinez, it’s important to look at the safety practices – and failures – of specific employers. “We are highlighting companies where it’s clear that more can be done to prevent injuries, illnesses and fatalities,” she said. “The path forward is to empower workers as real partners in workplace safety, because workers know where the hazards are and how to eliminate them. Dollar General, a retailer with numerous OSHA violations, is left off the list (presumably because the company is already getting enough negative publicity; Dollar General was on last year's "Dirty Dozen" list). THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (NATIONAL COSH) and the COSH NETWORK are the home of the U.S. worker health and safety activist movement. We are a network of 25 grassroots worker groups across the U.S., focused on supporting worker leadership and organizing for health, safety, and a voice on the job.
