Facial Recognition Banned in Third U.S. City
Oakland, Calif. Officially Votes Down Use of the Technology
Oakland, California, has become third city to ban the municipal use of
facial recognition technology. Late Tuesday night, the Oakland City Council
approved the ordinance, which requires a second and final vote that's scheduled
for Sept. 17.
Oakland neighbor San Francisco in May became the first city to ban its police
officers from using facial recognition technology, citing a breach of citizens'
civil liberties. The Somerville City Council in Massachusetts followed suit last
month.
Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan, who prepared a report on the
proposed ban, cited limitations of the technology, the lack of standards around
its implementation, and its potential use in the persecution of minorities,
according to KPIX.

What the CFO's are reading
CFOs Remain Cautious With Corporate Cash
U.S. companies have not relinquished their liquidity buffers or their habit
of keeping cash in ultra-safe investment vehicles.
Credit may be bountiful and cheap, but finance chiefs refuse to play fast and
loose with the cash on their balance sheets or spend big on capital investments
that will deplete liquidity.
Restraint characterized the strategies for cash deployments and
short-term investments for the bulk of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, according
to the latest Association
For Financial Professionals annual liquidity survey.
In the 12 months to March 2019, about half of the 496 finance and treasury
professionals surveyed by the AFP said the size of their cash hoards had not
changed much, either domestically or outside the United States. Of those
whose overall cash balances had changed, 20% said their cash levels were smaller
and 30% said they were larger.
Increased operating cash flows, higher debt levels, and a pullback in
capital expenditures were most often cited as the reason for more cash on
hand.
In the months ahead, 61% of treasury and finance professionals reported that
their organizations will follow the same script - retain the size of their cash
balances. About one in five respondents anticipated their company's cash balance
would rise (20%), but about the same number said their balance would fall (19%).

Editor's Note: Keeping it tight - CFO's are stretching AP's
longer than ever before. This is what we all knew, but this survey confirms
exactly how the CFO's are operating and explains all of the stress and slow AR's
throughout the retail sector worldwide for the most part.

RILA Panel Discusses Product Recall Effectiveness
Retailers Play Unique Role in Recall Process
 Last
week, Autumn Moore, RILA's director of regulatory affairs and compliance, spoke
to over 150 product safety professionals on a panel at the International
Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization (ICPHSO). The panel, titled "Why
are Effective Recalls so Hard?", focused on retailers' role in implementing
consumer product recalls and also featured U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) Compliance Field Director Beverly Kohen and Carma Project's
Founding Partner and President Tony Lim, and was moderated by Consumer
Federation of America's Legislative Director and General Counsel Rachel Weintraub.
RILA highlighted the unique role retailers play in the recall process, as both
the face of a recall for customers returning a product and seeking remedy, and
the facilitator of recalls on behalf of the manufacturer or supplier. Both roles
are key in ensuring that consumer product recalls happen efficiently and
effectively.

New York Legislators Upend the Workplace Legal Landscape
New York employers should be aware of sweeping changes to the state's employment
laws impacting settlement and separation agreements, employment-related
litigation, and hiring and pay practices.
State lawmakers' 2019 changes come on the heels of landmark legislation enacted
in 2018 aimed at curbing workplace sexual harassment.
.png)
Nondisclosure Provisions Get the Kibosh
In July 2018, New York became the first jurisdiction to curtail the use of
nondisclosure provisions in sexual-harassment settlement agreements. The law
prohibits employers from including nondisclosure provisions unless the employee
wants to include the provisions and the employer complies with certain nuanced
procedural requirements.
In 2019, lawmakers expanded this limitation to cover agreements resolving all
forms of unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation
Lowering the Bar for Proving Workplace Harassment
Following California's lead, New York's new laws make it easier for employees to
prove workplace harassment claims. Under the new laws, however, harassment, at
least for purposes of New York's anti-discrimination law, will be deemed illegal
"regardless of whether such harassment would be considered severe or pervasive
under precedent applied to harassment claims."

Surge in Brazen Phone Thefts Leads to 'Major Police Crackdown' in Australia
Shoppers & Workers Terrorized by Gangs, Stores Hiring Security Guards
 Police
arrested the seven teenagers − all aged between 14 and 16 − and seized
electronic devices in raids at three addresses in Melbourne's west on Tuesday
and Wednesday. It follows the arrests of four other boys over similar alleged
thefts last week.
The wave of recent arrests signals a major police crackdown on gangs that
terrorise shoppers and workers by swarming phone and computer displays to
rip away valuable goods.
Smash-and-grabs have become so common in Melbourne shopping malls that the big
three telcos have resorted to hiring security guards, equipping staff with
personal distress beacons and removing expensive models from display. Some
stores are now putting 'dummy items' on display. Others hide their stock
in the back rooms and bring them out only when a customer is interested.
The trend is so new neither police nor AMTA collect specific data about their
frequency, but Mr Althaus estimated there had been more than 100 robberies
combined across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane stores in the three months to
May alone. The thieves are brazen enough to work in busy shopping malls and
often in clear view of CCTV.

Another Retailer Unseats Bill Gates as World's 2nd Richest Man
Luxury Goods-Maker LVMH - Oversees 70 Brands, Including Louis Vuitton & Sephora
Bill Gates is no longer the world's second-richest person. That title now
belongs to French billionaire Bernard Arnault.
Arnault, the CEO of luxury goods maker LVMH (LVMHF), overtook Gates
Tuesday on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. It's the first time since the index
was created seven years ago that Gates has dropped out of the top two.
Arnault has built LVMH into a global luxury powerhouse that controls

Retailers Can Prevent
Card-Not-Present Fraud
 The dramatic rise in card-not-present fraud is taking its toll
on retailers and consumers. According to Juniper Research, retailers are
expected to lose about $130 billion in revenue between now and 2023 in
fraudulent card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Fraudsters do not discriminate.
Retailers of every size are at risk.
What should be a wake-up call is seen in the recent report from Juniper
Research. Findings in Online Payment Fraud: Emerging Threats, Segment
Analysis & Market Forecasts 2018-2023 noted that not enough retailers are
investing in fraud prevention. While everyone is well aware of the staggering
amount of stolen personal data readily available at little expense, the research
indicated that retailers have held back on investing in CNP fraud prevention
tools because many believe it will be too costly, they won't get the immediate
return on investment, or the kind of return that makes it worthwhile. Others
believe that fraud is a cost that comes as a part of doing business.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The fact is that the effective way to
curb CNP fraud rests at the heart of every transaction. The determining factor
is ascertaining whether the customer is who they say they are when the
transaction is taking place wherever it takes place. Identification
authentication is simple and a necessity in protecting a retailers' bottom line
and the integrity of the legitimate consumer.
Intellicheck's Retail ID SaaS technology solutions are budget-friendly, powerful
fraud deterrents that prevent fraudulent CNP in-store, online and mobile
purchases, while providing a frictionless, engaging customer experience.
 These flexible, adaptable solutions include
Retail ID Online, which easily
integrates with a retailer's online purchasing website and seamlessly checks the
would-be consumer's driver license for authenticity. It is a rapid, simple
solution that guides a customer to capture images of their driver license. The
cutting-edge app encrypts the driver license image to strict standards and
matches the image against authentic driver license formats.
Retail ID Mobile
works the same way, using a smartphone to capture the driver license image. With
real-time authentication, the purchase can proceed or, if the driver license is
flagged as counterfeit, the purchase process is terminated. If you use tablets
or other mobile devices in your retail establishment to expedite customer
purchases, no problem. Simple integration will have your devices converted to
fraud fighters in no time.
Retail ID Online and
Retail ID Mobile are so simple and easy to use that there
is very little training required and they don't require significant IT resources
and costly, ongoing support.
Your customers will shop with confidence and you'll stop unnecessary costly
losses because Retail ID products have proven 99.9% effective in identification
authentication. No matter your size, Retail ID technology solutions will work
for you. For more information visit

Security Snapshot: OS, Authentication, Browser & Cloud Trends
New research shows cloud apps are climbing, SMS authentication is falling,
Chrome is the enterprise browser favorite, and Android leads outdated devices.
As cloud and mobile adoption skyrocket, businesses seek new and stronger
ways to protect applications and data. In some ways, many have grown smarter
about data access and security. In others, research shows they still have some
work to do.
The
2019 Duo Trusted Access Report amasses data from 24 million devices, 1
million applications and services, and 500 million authentications across North
America and Western Europe to unearth trends in technology and cybersecurity.
Its findings show a rise in Windows 10, greater biometric adoption, and
an increasingly mobile workforce reliant on cloud. But researchers also
found businesses running outdated operating systems and popular browsers.
Application integration is up across most key categories. The number of
customers per cloud app is up 189% year-over-year, and the number of
authentications per customer per app is up 56%. Remote access rose 89% as more
people work outside the office but still need application access: Nearly half
(45%) of requests for protected apps came from outside the organization.

US businesses wired $301M a month to business email compromise (BEC) scammers in
2018
The US Department of Treasury's
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has run an analysis on suspect
transactions in the past year and found that US businesses in 2018 wired around
$301 million per month to business email compromise (BEC) scammers.
FinCEN
says the number of SARs (suspicious activity reports) describing BEC fraud
has climbed from 500 per month in 2016, when total monthly losses averaged $110
million, to 1,100 BEC-related SARs per month in 2018.
FinCEN found the number of victims from commercial services including
landscaping, retail, restaurants and hotel lodgings rose from 6% of reported
incidents in 2017 to 18% in 2019.
The dominant technique today is using fraudulent vendor and client invoices,
which grew from 30 percent in 2017 to 39 percent in 2018. FinCEN references the
case of a Lithuanian man who conned "multinational firms" into wiring at least
$100 million to overseas accounts he controlled. Those companies were Google and
Facebook
There is some good news despite the seemingly unstoppable growth of BEC fraud:
FinCEN claims its rapid response program, backed by law enforcement, recently
topped $500 million in recovered funds. Still, that's less than 20 percent of
the $2.9
billion the FBI estimates US business have lost since 2013.

Cyber NYC initiative strives to make New York a cybersecurity hub
The Cyber NYC plan is bringing together academic institutions, government
leaders and corporate partners to work on six distinct but interconnected
projects to
build cybersecurity competencies and create a cybersecurity ecosystem.
The New York City Economic Development Corp. (NYCEDC) announced the
Cyber NYC program last
fall, with $30 million in city funds and $70 million in private funding fueling
the initiative.
Meeting a global need
Government and business leaders believe Cyber NYC could have ripple effects far
beyond the city's boundaries.
The cybersecurity initiative focuses on driving innovation in the cyber
protection space, promoting thought leadership around the topic and training
cybersecurity experts -- all of which will help organizations throughout the
world better defend themselves against hackers and other cyberthreats.
Programs designed to address lacking cybersecurity
Two of the six distinct programs within Cyber NYC address the need for more
cybersecurity workers.
One is the Applied Learning Initiative, with the City University of New York
(CUNY), Columbia University, Cornell Tech, iQ4 and New York University
developing courses to train cyber specialists through new certifications and
degree programs. The other is the Cyber Boot Camp, for which Fullstack Academy
and CUNY's LaGuardia Community College have created additional cybersecurity
training programs.

Sprint Reveals Account Breach via Samsung Website
Sprint has been informing customers of a data breach discovered on June 22
that came by way of their account credentials via Samsung's "add a line"
website. The number of customers impacted has not been disclosed.
Information exposed in the breach includes phone number, device type, device
ID, monthly recurring charges, subscriber ID, account number, account creation
date, upgrade eligibility, first and last name, billing address, and add-on
services, according to Sprint's notification. The notification also stresses
information that might be used in financial fraud was not affected.
The most important information about this breach, according to Bob Maley, chief
security officer at NormShield, is it's not the first Sprint has seen this year.
"It sounds like [Sprint's] process for risk assessment for third parties might
be lacking," Maley says.

Beware of unsolicited packages after Amazon Prime
Day
They could be part of a scam
Earlier this month, Alice Mitchell, a writer and podcast producer who lives in
Los Angeles, opened an Amazon package filled with unusual items. At first, she
figured there must have been a mix-up and that her roommate had ordered
something in her name by mistake. But then the packages continued to arrive.
Mitchell wasn't just inconvenienced; it's likely she fell victim to an
online-shopping scam called "brushing."
Other consumers across the country have similarly reported receiving dozens of
packages or more from Amazon that they never ordered in brushing scams. A New
York woman
received roughly a dozen packages containing a random assortment of items.
And a Massachusetts couple received unwanted packages from Amazon
once or twice a week for five months.
So-called "brushing" scams tied to Amazon began in the past three years, said
Brian Kilcourse, managing partner at consulting firm RSR Research. Retail and
security experts believe these scams are a ploy on the part of third-party
sellers to improve the number of reviews they have on Amazon for their products.
Here's how they work: A third-party seller on Amazon will get the name and
address of a consumer. They will purchase an item that they will then send to
that person, claiming it's a gift. Amazon's policy allows the individual who
purchases a gift to leave a review for that item, so the third-party seller will
leave a fake review after the item ships. The review is listed as a "verified
buyer" review, meaning that it's supposed to have more authority because it's
from someone who actually bought and theoretically used the product.
In some cases, a consumer may have actually purchased an item in the past from
that seller, providing them with access to their name and address. And to some
extent, people's addresses are easily found through basic web searches. Being a
victim of a "brushing" scam could also indicate something more nefarious. "It
can be indicative of some kind of breach of confidentiality or data security," Kilcourse said.
"It's a low-grade scam, with some pretty potentially serious data privacy
considerations."

Facing a Big Jump in U.S. CNP Fraud, Retailers
Turn to Automated Tools
With merchants facing a projected 16.4% increase in U.S. card-not-present fraud
by 2021, many are relying more and more on automated screening tools to cull bad
transactions from the pile of good ones. That's the assessment from Aite Group
Inc. in its report, "The E-Commerce Conundrum: Balancing False Declines and
Fraud Prevention," released this week.
This fraud will increase from an estimated $5.5 billion this year to $6.4
billion in 2021. "CNP fraud losses continue to increase globally due to the
wealth of data available from data breaches and other sources," Shirley W. Inscoe, a senior analyst at Boston-based Aite, says in an email.
"Some countries
that saw a decline last year are seeing these losses on the rise again. CNP
fraud is a low risk/high reward crime, and will continue to grow until major
changes occur." Read more:

Waco, TX: Ulta shoplifting case part of DHS
investigation into $2.1 million
multi-state theft ring
A shoplifting case at an Ulta Beauty in Waco is connected to a federal
investigation into a multi-state theft ring at the cosmetics stores, Waco Police
Department Sgt. Patrick Swanton said. At about 9 p.m. on April 2, two women
carrying blue bags walked into an Ulta store in Waco, Swanton said. According to
Swanton, they loaded the bags with $1,349.95 worth of products and left the
store.
The case matches the description of a theft at a Temple Ulta store that same
night about an hour earlier. Cell phone video take from the Temple store shows
two women leave the store with blue bags loaded with merchandise. Temple police
said they stole $11,000 worth of perfume and cologne. A Temple police spokesman
could not confirm if the shoplifting there was part of the larger federal
investigation.
He said the case included multiple jurisdictions across central and northern
Texas and that charges were at the state level.
As Waco police officers started investigating the shoplifting, Swanton said Ulta
loss prevention contacted them, saying the Department of Homeland Security was
investigating the case as part of a multi-state theft ring at Ulta stores. The
department was asked to hold onto its case for documentation as part of the
larger federal investigation, Swanton said. Swanton said warrants have been
served in the case but could not say if they were search warrants or arrest
warrants. In total, DHS estimates the theft ring has led to $2.1 million in
loses for Ulta, Swanton said. A spokesperson for DHS said they don't comment on
active investigations.

Streetsboro, OH: 4 teens arrested during dramatic
Armed Robbery at Verizon store (bodycam and surveillance video)
 Four
suspects burst into a Verizon store on Wednesday, put a gun to a clerk's head,
tied him up and demanded that he open a safe in the back room. As police
converged on the scene, the bound clerk escaped from the suspects and made his
way into the arms of officers. The thieves may have pulled off the heist, but
the armed robbery was disrupted after an observant 911 caller noticed four
people run into the store. As soon as two of the suspects were walking out of
the back room, police were right there at the front door telling them, "Put your
hands up." They cooperated, but the two others were hiding in the back room
where police easily found them. One firearm was found on scene as police
investigated. They're being charged with aggravated robbery with a gun and
kidnapping.

Going beyond your job description and taking responsibility for things outside
your scope broadens your "runway" and quite frankly we hear that term all the
time when it comes to defining an executive's future. It's not the job that's
defining you, it's your own perceptions of what you can do that determines how
far you go. Opening your mind and embracing what you don't know will allow you
to change your own perceptions and thus lengthen your runway. And in today's
environment where we've all been stretched, you've got to be focused on the
value you're adding to the company you're working for. If you can focus there
and be able to specifically list the value you're adding, odds are, regardless
of what happens to the company you're working for, you'll do great!
Just a Thought,
Gus
