Violence, Crime & Protests


Economic Hardship - Lockdowns - Protests - Police Funding - Guns
Perfect Storm of Factors Could Be Driving Violent Crime Up
One set of explanations has to do with the economic hardship, social disruptions and uncertainty that the pandemic has caused, especially for communities already strained by poverty and structural disadvantage. But there is little evidence that violence increases markedly during economic downturns.

Social disruptions that change patterns of human activity and social control provide a more promising explanation. When community institutions are weakened, people feel they're on their own and may respond to uncertainty by assuming the worst, carrying weapons and reacting to aggression with even greater aggression.  But the problem with these explanations is that unlike the coronavirus, the jump in lethal violence has been a uniquely American phenomenon.

Lethal violence didn't rise immediately after the coronavirus reached our shores and governors imposed lockdowns. Overall crime appeared to drop in many cities as businesses closed, people stayed home and routine social activities were disrupted. But unlike street crimes such as robbery and retail theft, homicides didn't decline, suggesting that activities among the young men most prone to committing homicide weren't affected as much by lockdowns.

One popular narrative has it that cuts to police funding have contributed to the growth in homicide rates. While there is some evidence that the pandemic challenged departments and there were fewer officers on the streets in some places, most cities maintained their required levels of patrol in 2020. A reasonable argument can be made that the movement to defund the police created greater discontent among officers, but reductions in police funding don't seem to explain the violence.

Some have hypothesized that the rise in homicide rates is specifically a result of the June 2020 protests. But theories about the role of the protests must contend with several challenges. Violence typically climbs during the summer, and in 2020, that happened to correspond not only with the protests but also with an end to the most intensive lockdowns in many cities - making it hard to pin blame on any one cause without more examination.

Beneath it all, the ready availability of guns looms. Put simply, social disruptions and de-policing probably have higher stakes in American cities - where a small but persistent number of criminal offenders carry guns - than they do in countries where firearms are not as easy to get. washingtonpost.com

All Federal Options Are on the Table to Address Surging Crime
White House's tough-on-crime message: Use COVID funds
With crime surging around the country, the Biden administration is telling local officials how to use some of the $1.9 trillion in COVID relief funds to bolster their police departments.

Driving the news: That guidance is spelled out in a White House memo obtained by Axios ahead of President Biden's meeting today with law enforcement and elected officials from around the country - including Eric Adams, New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee and former police captain, who's openly critical of his own party.

The big picture: Democrats are concerned that violence and lawlessness could affect Biden's presidency and their political fortunes in the midterm elections.

The intrigue: Adams has railed against fellow Democrats for focusing on national gun control and police reform legislation instead of directly addressing crime in blighted neighborhoods, calling those priorities "misplaced."

Details: The memo's subject line leaves little mystery about how the White House is seeking to position itself: "How Local and State Government Can - and Should - Use the President's Gun Crime Reduction Strategy and Historic Rescue Plan Funding to Improve Public Safety."

Flashback: In June, when Biden first explained that states and localities could use some of the $350 billion in local COVID money for law enforcement, he also touted traditional Democratic efforts on gun control and announced a new plan to crack down on gun dealers.

The bottom line: Monday's event is another attempt by the White House to show that it is aware of a national crime problem and that Biden is considering all his policy options to address it. axios.com

Biden sends 'strike force' to Chicago to help curb spike in violent crime

More than 100 people were shot and 19 killed over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago

President Biden's "strike force," meant to help curb crime in Chicago and four other cities seeing a surge in violence, is expected to come to the Windy City "relatively soon," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said earlier this week.

The Justice Department announced new "strike forces" in June, which are supposed to curb violent crime in Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., by helping city leaders crack down on illegal gun trafficking.

"My hope and my expectation is that they're going to be coming relatively soon. I've made no secret of the fact that this is a matter of incredible urgency and I think the president's plan is to make a difference in localities like Chicago this summer," Lightfoot told reporters Wednesday as she met with Biden outside O'Hare Airport, according to ABC 7 Chicago.

The strike force teams will coordinate with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and share information with local and state law enforcement agencies about where firearms originate and where they are used to commit crimes in an effort to bring down gun-dealing rings. foxnews.com

Biden to Use COVID Rescue Funds To Help States Hire More Police
Biden to talk crime with city, police leaders nationwide
President Joe Biden will host New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate and other city and law enforcement leaders from around the country to talk about reducing crime.

Eric Adams, Brooklyn borough president and the likely next mayor of New York, plus Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and San Jose, California, Mayor Sam Liccardo are expected to attend the meeting Monday, according to two people familiar with the plans. They were not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Biden will also host Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis, Chief David Brown of Chicago and Lt. Anthony Lima of the Newark, New Jersey, police.

Shootings and killings are up around the nation, with local politicians and police struggling to manage the violence that has ballooned since the coronavirus pandemic. But there is a continued push for police reform, revived nationwide with the death of George Floyd, and Biden is trying to work on both simultaneously.

The president recently announced new efforts to stem the tide of violence, but the federal government is limited in what it can do to help localities reduce the spike. His plan focuses on providing funding to cities that need more police, offering community support and cracking down on gun violence and supplying illegal firearms. news.yahoo.com

Criminal Justice Reform Driving Crime & Closures?
Crime forces Jersey Shore town to close beach, boardwalk early

Avalon mayor says Gov. Murphy's stance on juvenile cannabis use, justice reform to blame for tying police's hands

An uptick in crime, including the vandalism of property as unruly crowds of young people have gathered on the beach, has forced one upscale town in New Jersey to close its boardwalk overnight in order to hand back police powers restricted by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's stance on cannabis use.

Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi on Friday signed an executive order extending restrictions issued under the coronavirus state of emergency keeping closed the beach daily between the hours of 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., and the boardwalk daily between the hours of 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

In issuing the extension, the mayor cited "unsafe and disruptive behavior," witnessed as juveniles have been congregating on the beaches and boardwalk, regularly vandalizing public property and leaving behind excessive litter and debris. Residents are now being forced off the beaches and boardwalk "until further notice" under the new policy in the borough of Avalon, located in Cape May County on Seven Mile Island where the median home lists at $2.6 million, according to Realtor.com.

The mayor said the state is "directly responsible for unlawful conduct which compromises public safety," citing juvenile justice reform, the elimination of bail in many cases to threats of charging police officers with third-degree crimes for investigating potential offenses.

Avalon Police Chief Jeffrey Christopher also criticized state leaders for implementing new legislation that requires police to issue only curbside warnings to minors for ordinance and disorderly persons offenses where there is no breach of peace, even when alcohol or cannabis use or possession is involved. He explained that police can do nothing more than issue a warning to a juvenile in possession of drugs or alcohol, and the juvenile is not obligated to provide his or her actual name. Young adults between 18 and 20 can only be issued written warnings for using alcohol or cannabis.  foxnews.com

Albany DA Blames NY's Criminal Justice Reform for Crime Uptick
Cuomo's weak-sauce crime plan misses the real issue: bail reform
Last week, Gov. Cuomo declared gun violence a "disaster emergency" in New York. For those of us in law enforcement, this sudden change in tone came as a welcome surprise. After all, it was barely two years ago when Cuomo signed into law sweeping criminal-justice reforms that have transformed the state's public-safety landscape - for the worse.

At the time, law-enforcement professionals, led by the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York, warned that the reforms would lead to rising crime and a surge of gun violence. As DAASNY's then-president, I cautioned that the "reckless and irresponsible" legislation would come back to haunt us.

Back then, Cuomo governed the safest large state in the country. Today, he can no longer make that claim. Crime, and especially violent crime, is up by 50 percent to 75 percent - in some places, even more. In Gotham, shootings through June were up 68 percent year-on-year. In Rochester, there were 34 homicides through June, putting the city on track for a higher murder rate than Chicago.

Now Cuomo is desperate to reverse the crime wave those reforms caused. But his plan - a Bureaucracy and Bucks approach - will do little to stop the gun ­violence plaguing our streets.

Some parts of the plan are bizarrely mismatched, such as a new office within the Department of Health to combat crime. Some parts are window dressing, such as allowing gun manufacturers to be sued in the future, which will do nothing to stop gun violence now. And some parts, such as funneling money for police in violent areas, simply rebrand the work police were already doing.

If they are serious about gun ­violence, one common-sense ­step stands out: New York must give judges discretion to keep dangerous offenders in jail. nypost.com

Hopeful Signs for the U.S.?
What the Delta variant's trajectory in Israel & the UK could mean for the US
All eyes are on the Delta variant that is now dominant in the United States as new Covid-19 cases rise week-to-week and the variant -- first identified in India and also known as B.1.617.2 -- accounts for a growing share.

But trends from Israel and the United Kingdom -- where the variant became dominant a few weeks sooner than in the US -- present hope for a less deadly and severe surge than others that have come before. And experts say that vaccination progress will be the most critical factor in preventing the worst outcomes.

In Israel, average daily cases are twice what they were in mid-April when the first cases of Delta were identified in the country. At that time, there were an average of five deaths each day in Israel.

In the United Kingdom, both cases and deaths are higher than they were when the Delta variant became the dominant strain in the country in mid-May, but cases have climbed exponentially faster than deaths. cnn.com

Missouri becomes ground zero for COVID-19 battle
More than half the population has not taken a COVID-19 vaccine in Missouri, which is dealing with one of the worst situations with the coronavirus across the country.

As parts of the United States emerge from the pandemic, other sections of the country are experiencing a very different reality with the virus. Few states illustrate the divide better than Missouri. he state has the second most cases per capita next to neighboring Arkansas, according to the database kept by The New York Times.

This is a mass casualty event, happening in slow-motion," Springfield, Mo., Fire Chief Dave Pennington said on Twitter. "EMS resources are depleted, and the hospital systems are overwhelmed. Our community is in crisis." thehill.com

18-29 Year Olds Slow to Get Shots
Young Americans Aren't Getting Vaccinated, Jeopardizing Covid-19 Fight

Slow uptake of Covid-19 shots among 18-to-29-year-olds is complicating mass vaccination campaign; U.S. ramps up outreach to young adults

Millions of Americans have rolled up their sleeves to get vaccinated against Covid-19, but one group is well behind: young adults.

Their reluctance is a significant part of why the U.S. missed the Biden administration's goal of getting 70% of the adult population a first dose by July 4, and it is impeding efforts to develop the communitywide immunity sought to move past the pandemic and fend off Delta and other variants.

Now government health authorities are dialing up efforts encouraging 18- to 29-year-olds to get vaccinated. The outreach will have to overcome the hesitancy of many young adults who don't see the urgency given their relatively low risk of severe cases, are spooked by confusing information on social media and generally feel invincible, public-health experts say. wsj.com

Honoring Employee & Relatives COVID Deaths & Coaching Them on 1st Days Back
D.C. government employees prepare for return to their workplaces starting Monday
When almost all of D.C.'s government employees return to their offices in person starting Monday - in some cases after as long as 16 months working from home - they'll be greeted with balloons, free food, Pilates and other perks that city leaders hope will ease an uncertain transition.

The city's homeland security and emergency management agency will entertain returning workers with jumbo-sized Uno and Jenga games.

Several agency leaders said they would hold special sessions to honor employees and their relatives who died during the pandemic. One said his employees are so anxious about working in an office again that he plans to hold workshops to coach them through it.

About 40 percent of the city's workforce has worked in person during the pandemic, including emergency responders. Still, Monday will mark the first time back for as many as half the city's workers, and Bowser said she intended for nearly every employee to be at their desk in person that day. washingtonpost.com

Body Cameras in the Security/LP Industry
Body Camera Use by Security Employees is Growing
Over the past few years, individual security officers and some private security providers as well as some proprietary security departments have invested in the purchase of BWC's. We have found that most are being used in general patrolling, apartment complexes, shopping centers, school campuses and a few, in hospital settings.

Of course, the use of such technology has served the law enforcement community well over the years in defending themselves against false claims, lawsuit protection and as evidence against an arrestee.

Video documentation has also been used as evidence against an officer during criminal and internal proceedings which overall is a good thing when an actual crime has been committed or an egregious or flagrant departmental policy violation has occurred. But sometimes, it has also been misapplied, misinterpreted, and used as a weapon against an officer.

Another consideration for the private user is the "Two Party" recording law which requires that all parties being audibly recorded be notified and agree to the recording.

Eleven states require the consent of every party of a conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

While video may be recorded without consent in areas of no expectations of privacy, the audile would have to be removed before use.

So, are body cameras a valuable tool for the security industry or are they a liability? In truth, the answer isn't so cut and dry, and the decision for or against body cameras will depend on the risks within your facility. privateofficerbreakingnews.blogspot.com

Women Gravitating Toward Security
A Glimpse of Women in the Security Sector Today

A new generation of young professionals are joining the industry who may not have considered security as a career path previously thanks to others that have paved the way through their dedication and successes.

While security is not a sector that many women have traditionally considered to build their careers, the landscape has shifted dramatically. It has been an evolution rather than a revolution that has attracted the diverse population of employees who now serve as our country's security professionals. The issues and threats that exist today are quite different than those of 20 years ago, as is the demand for a multicultural and diverse workforce to creatively and collaboratively address them.

Historically, physical security services companies sought to hire people with law enforcement and military background. While this background is an important part of the mix of any successful security company, today's security professional comes from many different industries including hospitality, staffing, technology, corporate and more. Why is this an important development for the industry, as well as a catalyst to attract more women?

The greater the mix of talent, with a focus on diversity and inclusion, the stronger the physical security sector becomes. A new generation of young professionals are joining the industry who may not have considered security as a career path even 10 years ago.

With women such as Rush pioneering a path into law enforcement and security for women, the security universe, today, fully embraces and welcomes women. Careers in physical security go beyond traditional guarding and include paths in technology, human resources, marketing, sales and management.

In today's business world, the successful team is a diverse blend of the best men and women. As the security industry continues to evolve and tap into the greatest talent and resources, we will continue to see more women as senior leaders, middle managers and new entrants to the field. The security sector offers unparalleled opportunity across multiple disciplines. securitymagazine.com

Walmart's Black Senior Managers Don't Recommend Working There
An internal survey commissioned by the retailer offered blunt assessments of the Black employee experience.

Some high-ranking Black managers at Walmart Inc. say career advancement is difficult at the retail chain and they wouldn't recommend working there, a recent internal survey commissioned by the company found.

The report, which was presented to members of the company's senior leadership late last year and seen by Bloomberg News, asked 56 Black supervisors, senior managers and directors about the barriers that made it difficult to achieve their career goals. A majority of those surveyed gave mediocre rankings for career satisfaction.

The findings, which have not been made public before, include the following:

Lack of diversity in leadership deters Black employees that are looking for support and career modeling.

Black workers feel there is a heavier emphasis on external recruitment than developing existing talent.

Unequal access to career and growth opportunities and/or information makes it difficult for Black people to thrive and progress.

Compared to their peers, Black staff feel that they must perform at an exceptional level and take on more complex workloads with little room for error to maintain their position.

Favoritism, internal politics and having to conform to unspoken social norms or present in a digestible manner negatively impacts Black employee morale and motivation. bloomberg.com

American Dream sets date Sept. 17th - to open high-end retail wing,
giant Ferris wheel
If you've been longing for Saks Fifth Avenue to come back to New Jersey, your wait will be over Sept. 17.

Saks and several other high-end retailers will open shops at American Dream when the megamall in the Meadowlands debuts its long-awaited luxury wing, dubbed The Avenue.

About 20 stores, which make up 25% of The Avenue, will be ready for shoppers at that time. But The Avenue will have 80 total storefronts when it's completed, according to Ken Downing, chief creative officer at American Dream.

The Sept. 17 opening date of The Avenue corresponds with end of New York City's Fashion Week and is the day before the Met Gala.

In addition to Saks, Hermes, Saint Laurent, Tiffany & Co., Dolce & Gabbana, Mulberry, Jonathan Adler, Anne Fontaine, Zadig & Voltaire, Johnny Was, and gourmet dining at Bal Harbour favorite - Carpaccio will open, among others. American Dream expects to announce another eight to 10 retailers that will occupy a total of 80,000 square feet of The Avenue in the next 30 days or so, Downing said.

The long-awaited opening of American Dream's luxury wing will be the last major opening for the complex, which has been 18 years in the making and passed through the hands of three developers before Triple Five took it over in 2013. Currently, about 80% of the 3.3 million square foot complex is open, a spokesperson for American Dream said. nj.com

President Issues Order Aiming to Limit Employer Use of Noncompetes
President Joe Biden has asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ban or limit employment-related noncompete agreements as part of an executive order he signed on July 9.

Employers generally use noncompetes to discourage employees from taking valuable trade-secret information to competitors, but lawmakers have sought to ban noncompetes with hourly workers in the retail and restaurant industries. Limiting employer use of noncompetes will make it easier for workers to change jobs and help raise wages, the White House said. The order also aims to limit occupational licensing requirements that may make it harder for workers to find employment when they move to a different state.

Michael Wexler, an attorney with Seyfarth in Chicago, noted that policies targeting noncompete restrictions on hourly and lower-wage workers have been sweeping across the country in recent years. "However, businesses and most states-even the most employee-friendly states-still recognize the need for restrictive covenants supporting the investment of time and resources by businesses to develop trade secrets and customer relationships which are vital to maintaining innovation, developing new products and actually protecting existing employees." shrm.org

San Francisco's Worsening Violence & ORC Crisis
Violent retail thefts in San Francisco only getting worse
San Francisco, which has pulled millions of dollars from the police force to give to community groups, has been the site of ever-increasing retail theft. A reporter reporting on theft in the city was, ironically, robbed while doing it. Shops have been closing because of the increase in retail theft.

However, the district attorney's office said in a tweet that the crime surge has to do with racism. Senior director Kate Chatfield in the DA's office responded to a tweet that read: "every single one of my friends right now is considering leaving. My friends are scared for their children, and their husbands are scared for their wives."

San Francisco is suffering under these conditions in part because of Prop. 47, which passed in 2014. It downgraded property theft below a certain amount to a misdemeanor, allegedly to free up cops to deal with more serious crimes. But what it's really done is create conditions for lawlessness in the city.

Prosecutors in San Francisco appear to be more concerned with respecting suspects' pronouns than preventing, deterring or prosecuting crime. Despite the uptick in crime, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said that from now on staff will be required to use people's preferred pronouns. SF Gate reports that "burglaries and car thefts dramatically increased under Boudin, a trend that has continued into 2021." privateofficerbreakingnews.blogspot.com

CISA Analysis Reveals Successful Attack Techniques of FY 2020
The analysis shows potential attack paths and the most effective techniques for each tactic documented in CISA's Risk and Vulnerability Assessments.

The Department of Homeland Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released an analysis detailing the findings from Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) conducted during the 2020 fiscal year across industries.

The officials' analysis details a sample attack path an intruder could take to compromise an organization, with weaknesses that represent the ones CISA saw in RVAs over the past year. Both CISA's analysis and the accompanying infographic, which includes the success rate percentage for each tactic and technique, map to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, they report.

In the breakdown of successful initial access techniques, officials found phishing links were most common and used to gain initial access in 49% of RVAs. Next were exploits of public-facing applications (11.8%), followed by phishing attachments (9.8%). For execution, PowerShell was used in 24.4% of RVAs, followed by Windows Management Instrumentation (13%) and Command & Scripting Interpreter (12.2%).

Valid accounts were used to gain privilege escalation in 37.5% of RVAs, followed by exploitation for privilege escalation (21.9%) and making and impersonating tokens (15.6%). For lateral movement, attackers primarily used pass-the-hash (29.8%), followed by Remote Desktop Protocol (25%) and exploitation of remote services (11.9%). darkreading.com
 



Washington Post 7/9/21 article:
The Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack
Editor's Note: Great article that lays out the entire process and even names a few firms that specialize in helping companies with the process. Well worth a one article fee to read.

The Washington Post found that ransomware attacks in the United States
more than doubled from 2019 to 2020.

The costs of such attacks add up. Some experts conservatively estimate that hackers received $412 million in ransom payments last year.

Joshua Motta, chief executive of cyber-insurance company Coalition. "For a while, it was credit-card skimming, data breaches, reselling Social Security numbers. Ransomware is a considerably more lucrative business model."

The highest-profile attacks are often conducted by hacking groups that researchers say
operate somewhat like regular companies, with employees, revenue goals and internal hierarchies.

Many of these groups, like DarkSide and REvil, offer "
ransomware as a service," selling their malware to whoever has the know-how to execute a hack and has a target.

Roughly one-third of American companies have cyber insurance, although it's
getting harder and more expensive to obtain as attacks surge. Generally, the insurer acts as a hub to help the victim with everything from investigating the attack to remediating compromised systems, negotiating ransoms and navigating legal and public relations issues.

The process to clear it up
can take days to weeks for an organization that hasn't been hit too hard and has good backups of its files, Carmakal said. For larger organizations, or those without good backups, the process can take months.

Often, the ransomware actors don't stop at simply encrypting data. They steal it, too. And they go after the most sensitive data they can find - tax records, business negotiations and intellectual property.

If a victim can avoid paying a ransom, and restore its network from backups, that's great, experts said. But, said Kivu's Swanson, a "lot of times the networks are nonoperational - completely fried. The bad guys will come in and delete the backups or encrypt them."

The entire experience is grueling. "Even if a company has a solid incident-response plan and they've practiced it,
it's still massive panic," Berglas said. "If their business is shut down, it's all hands on deck. Nobody's resting. It's full-force."

Those who negotiate often hire a professional. washingtonpost.com

Biden's New Executive Order Looks to Address Data Privacy

White House Asks FTC to Develop New Rules on Consumer Data Collection

In his latest executive order, President Joe Biden asks the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to establish new rules over how tech firms can collect and use data from their customers as a way to offer more privacy protections for American consumers.

The focus on how large tech firms, such as Facebook, Google and Amazon, collect and use consumer data is one part of an executive order that seeks to address a raft of what the White House calls anticompetitive behavior by corporations that have harmed customers and reduced competition, according to a fact sheet published by the administration on Friday.

Besides
asking the FTC to expand protections for consumer data and privacy, the order instructs the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as other federal agencies, to step up their antitrust enforcement, especially when it comes to larger tech firms buying small companies in deals that could stifle competition.

"Over the past [10] years, the largest tech platforms have acquired hundreds of companies - including alleged 'killer acquisitions' meant to shut down a potential competitive threat. Too often, federal agencies have not blocked, conditioned, or, in some cases, meaningfully examined these acquisitions," according to the White House.

While the executive order issued Friday does not contain specifics for the FTC, the Biden administration stresses that the broad collection of personal information and other details has given tech firms too much access to sensitive data for business purposes. thehill.com

Ransomware: This new ransom tracker reveals how much bitcoin gangs
have been paid

The new Ransomwhere site crowdsources bitcoin payments to wallets associated with ransomware gangs.

A security expert has launched a site to keep a publicly trackable record of bitcoin payments to key ransomware gangs, such as REvil.

The
ransomwhe.re site has been created by Jack Cable, a security researcher who works with the Krebs Stamos Group cyber consultancy and the US Defense Digital Service.

The Ransomwhere site is an open, crowdsourced ransomware payment tracker, offering a breakdown of victim payments in bitcoin to wallets linked to a dozen major ransomware variants. The payment figures can be broken down by 'all time', this year, this month, and this week.

Ransomware attacks are on the rise and now the subject of debate between world leaders after attacks on Colonial Pipeline, meat processor JBS, and last week's attack against enterprise software management firm Kaseya, which saw REvil ransomware spread to dozens of managed service providers and over 1,000 of their customers.

Across all time, the Mailto/Netwalker ransomware leads the ransomware pack, but - isolating payments to this year - the REvil/Sadinokibi - which was behind the JBS and Kaseya attacks - is the leader with $11.3 million payments received.

REvil's total for 2021 could rise significantly if it receives the $70 million it demanded last week in the Kaseya attack.

Cable explained his motives for building the site in a thread on Twitter, noting the data about victim payments can change the response to ransomware.

"Ransomwhere aims to fill that gap by tracking bitcoin transactions associated with ransomware groups. It's public, so anyone can view and download the data. And it's crowdsourced, so anyone can submit reports of ransomware they've been infected with or otherwise observed."

The site calculates the US dollar value of bitcoin payments based on the exchange rate of the day a payment was made, so it's an estimate of how much victims paid, but not how much ransomware gangs sold it for. zdnet.com

 



 

Liar Liar... Nobody's Pants are on Fire

"She scratched her nose!" "He looked to the left!" "I think he sniffled twice and then moved his big toe!"

Okay, maybe that last example is a bit extreme, but we here all too often that a person is thought to be lying based on some type of physical behavior. An overwhelming growing body of research tells us that classifying statements as deceptive, purely based on physical behavior is not only ineffective but also (often) incorrect. There are many reasons for the inaccuracies in detecting deception, in both the interviewer's actual ability as well as the diversity in responses from one person to the next.

Judge Tosses Out Amazon's Pentagon Challenge
Judge ends Amazon challenge to $10B cloud contract after Pentagon cancellation
A U.S. judge on Friday dismissed Amazon.com's legal challenge to the Defense Department's 2019
decision to award a $10 billion JEDI cloud-computing project to rival Microsoft Corp after the Pentagon canceled the contract.

Amazon.com had accused then-President Donald Trump, alleging that the former president exerted improper pressure on military officials to steer the contract away from Amazon. The Pentagon said on Tuesday it expected the new multi-billion dollar contract would be split between Amazon and Microsoft.

Amazon did not object to dismissing its 2019 lawsuit.

Judge Patricia E. Campbell-Smith of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims agreed to dismiss the lawsuit at the government's request, saying the case was now moot.

Trump publicly derided then-Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and repeatedly criticized the company. Amazon had sought to question Trump about his role in the contract decision. The Pentagon hopes to have the first awards by April 2022 for its new Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability (JWCC).

John Sherman, acting chief information officer for the Defense Department, said on Tuesday
he expects both Microsoft and Amazon will get cloud contracts.

Microsoft said in a statement that the company was confident it will "continue to be successful as the DoD selects partners for new work." reuters.com

Amazon Delivery Driver Killed
21-year-old Amazon driver killed in crash on Interstate 85 in Durham
An Amazon driver was killed Wednesday morning in a collision that temporarily shut down northbound Interstate 85 in Durham.
The Amazon delivery van crashed into a flatbed trailer on I-85 near Redwood Road, said Sgt. Christopher Knox, a spokesperson for the N.C. State Highway Patrol. Troopers responded to the collision just before noon on Wednesday, Knox said.

Knox identified the Amazon driver as Joshua Clark, 21, of Scotland Neck, N.C.

The flatbed trailer was stopped in the right lane of I-85 due to a lane closure and was trying to merge into the left lane when Clark,
unable to reduce speed in time, collided into the rear of the flatbed, Knox said. There were no passengers in either vehicle. newsobserver.com

Chinese Smugglers Sell Counterfeit Cell Phone Parts & Other Electronics Online to Consumers
O.C. Man Sentenced to 2 Yrs Prison for 'Tens of Millions in revenue' By Smuggling in Counterfeit Cell Phone Parts from China
An Orange County man Chan Hung Le, 46, of Laguna Hills, was sentenced today to 24 months in federal prison for conspiring to smuggle counterfeit Apple, Samsung, and Motorola cell phone components from China that were
then sold to consumers in the United States, a scheme that generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue.

From late 2011 to February 2015, Le conspired with other individuals to import from China cell phone parts and other electronic items bearing counterfeit marks. In furtherance of the conspiracy, Le set up and used mailboxes with
virtual office service providers in Oklahoma and Texas using a fictitious business name, JV Trading Solutions. In furtherance of the conspiracy, Le also used the name and identity documents of one of his employees to set up the virtual offices and directed other conspirators to ship trademarked goods under Le's employees' or relatives' names. Once the counterfeit products arrived, Le and his co-conspirators distributed the parts to the public through various online stores.

"[Le]...orchestrated an elaborate scheme to deceive customs agents by creating covert shipping channels from Hong Kong and China to different U.S. states," "From this conduct, and this deception, [Le]
generated millions of dollars in profit. [Le] enlisted numerous other parties in his conduct - including his romantic partner, his employees (witting or unwitting), other family members, and the unwitting virtual mailbox service companies. This was a sophisticated, long-standing, and highly profitable offense."

In 2016,
one of Le's suppliers, Hongwei "Nick" Du, pleaded guilty in United States District Court in San Diego to conspiring to traffic in counterfeit goods and related money laundering charges. In his plea agreement, Du admitted to selling Le at least $18,744,354 (at cost) worth of cellular telephone and electronic components for resale from China into the United States and that about half of the goods were counterfeit items bearing the trademarks of Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and other companies. Du was sentenced to three years in federal prison. justice.gov

* We are including this in the Daily's ORC data due to the fact that this is 'stealing tens of millions in revenue' from the cell phone retail industry itself and selling inferior and dangerous equipment to consumers. Just on a higher level.

ID thief using bitcoin, 'burner phones,' & digital wallets stole $500k+ gets 3 Yrs.
Bought credit card info on the dark web, used it to buy luxury goods or items fenced for bitcoin

Seattle - A prolific identity thief who traveled the country using fraud to buy luxury goods and items he could convert to cash and bitcoin, was sentenced Friday to 3 years prison. Between February 2017 and December 2018,
Aaron Laws, 33, of Atlanta, Georgia, traveled through Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Arizona, Georgia, and Minnesota making fraudulent charges on victim credit cards. Laws had a sophisticated scheme, recruiting others, and using digital wallets, bitcoin and burner phones to try to avoid detection.

Laws purchased credit card information from so-called 'carding websites' on the dark web. The information was loaded onto digital wallets on prepaid phones and was quickly used for fraudulent purchases of electronics, jewelry and other items that could be sold for cash or bitcoin. In many instances,
Laws sent coconspirators into the stores to make the purchases in order to avoid detection. Nevertheless, Laws profited the most from the scheme - as much as $500,000.

Despite an arrest in October 2017, Laws continued his fraud spree. Even after being sentenced to serve jail time on the weekends in Georgia, he was undeterred and continued to commit fraud across the country.

Following his 3 year prison term, Laws will be on supervised release for 5 years. He was ordered to pay $623,554 in restitution. justice.gov

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts

Ongoing 32 State Organized Crime Wave of 300 Suspects on Chain Gangs
Spike in "Chain Gang" Destructive Attacks on ATMs
Last summer, financial institutions throughout Texas started reporting a sudden increase in attacks involving
well-orchestrated teams that would show up at night, use stolen trucks and heavy chains to rip Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) out of their foundations, and make off with the cash boxes inside. Now it appears the crime - known variously as "ATM smash-and-grab" or "chain gang" attacks - is rapidly increasing in other states.

The
Texas Bankers Association documented at least 139 chain gang attacks against Texas financial institutions in the year ending November 2020. The association says organized crime is the main source of the destructive activity, and that Houston-based FBI officials have made more than 50 arrests and are actively tracking about 250 individuals suspected of being part of these criminal rings.

"One of the things they found out during the arrest was the
people wanting to be in the gang were told they had to bring them $250,000 within a week,"

Santor said the chain gang attacks have
spread to other states, and that in the year ending June 2021 Travelers saw a 257 percent increase in the number of insurance claims related to ATM smash-and-grabs. Which also includes claims involving incidents where attackers will crash a stolen car into a convenience store, and then in the ensuing commotion load the store's ATM into the back of the vehicle and drive away.

In addition to
any cash losses - which can often exceed $200,000 - replacing destroyed ATMs and any associated housing can take weeks, and newer model ATMs can cost $80,000 or more.

"
It's not stopping," Santor said of the chain gang attacks. "In the last year we counted 32 separate states we've seen this type of attack in. Normally we are seeing single digits across the country. 2021 is going to be the same or worse for us than last year."

Increased law enforcement scrutiny of the crime in Texas might explain why a number of neighboring states are seeing a recent uptick in the number of chain gang attacks, said
Elaine Dodd, executive vice president of the fraud division for the Oklahoma Bankers Association. cybersecurityworldconference.com

Taylorsville, UT: Walmart Loss Prevention Agent hailed as hero after helping Deputy during shoplifting incident
A Utah security officer has been hailed as a hero for stopping an attack on a deputy. The June 15 incident was caught on security camera as a routine shoplifting incident quickly turned violent. The suspect, Marquise Franklin, is seen on the video going into a back room and allegedly starting to stuff items into a bag or backpack when several employees try to get him to leave. He refused, Fox 13 Now reported. A deputy arrived shortly after to try and escort Franklin, but instead the suspect was able to get the upper hand after a brief fight and pinned the deputy to the ground. A loss prevention officer then jumped into the fight and forced Franklin off the deputy, giving the deputy a chance to get free and call for backup. Investigators say Franklin was able to hold off two other deputies when they arrived, thanks to some apparent fighting or martial arts experience and a Taser he allegedly wrestled off the deputy. "First and foremost the officer credits him for saving his life," said United Police Department Sgt. Melody Cutler. "Had he not jumped in, really bad things potentially could have happened, the officer could've lost his life or in this case an eye as his eye was being gouged out. There are a lot of things that could've happened." fox13now.com

Salt Lake City, UT: Man arrested on 12 felony charges after attempted theft, pulling pistol
