Google Invests $450 Million in ADT for Smart-Home Distribution
 Google
said on Monday it will invest $450 million in ADT and work with the
Florida-headquartered firm's 20,000 technicians to sell and install the search
giant's Nest family of smart home products.
As part of the long-term investment - which is granting Google a 6.6% stake
in ADT - the two companies will first attempt to reach more individual
consumers and small businesses, and then work on building and selling
next-generation smart home security offerings, they said.
Both companies have also committed $150 million each - provided they reach
certain milestones - for co-marketing, product development and investment in
technology and employee training.

Violence & Protests
Homicide Spike Hits Most Large U.S. Cities,
While Robberies Drop 11% with More People Staying at Home
A Wall Street Journal analysis of crime statistics among the nation's 50 largest
cities found that reported homicides were up 24% so far this year, to 3,612.
Shootings and gun violence also rose, even though many other violent crimes such
as robbery fell.
Police, researchers, mayors and community leaders see a confluence of forces at
work in the homicide spike. Institutions that keep city communities safe have
been destabilized by lockdown and protests against police. Lockdowns and
recession also mean tensions are running high and streets have been emptied of
eyes and ears on their communities. Some attribute the rise to an increase in
gang violence.
Some cities with long-running crime problems saw their numbers rise,
including Philadelphia, Detroit and Memphis, Tenn.
Chicago, the worst-hit, has tallied more than one of every eight homicides.
Less-violent places have been struck as well, such as Omaha, Neb., and
Phoenix. In all, 36 of the 50 cities studied saw homicide rise at
double-digit rates, representing all regions of the country.
Police and academics who study crime have long debated why homicide rates rise
or fall, citing variables including demographics, incarceration rates, drug
epidemics, the economy and policing. That debate has been thrown a new curve:
fallout from the pandemic. Moreover it is complicated by the fact that other
kinds of crime are falling. Reported robberies were
down 11% among the 41 largest cities that made robbery data available.
One explanation for the divergence between homicide and other crime might reside
in what is known as "routine activity theory," which holds that crime is
a function of three factors: The supply of offenders, the supply of victims and
the intervention between the two by society's guardians - including police,
schools and churches.
Police in many departments said robberies, burglaries and rapes are down so
far this year because more people stayed home during Covid-19 lockdowns, leaving
fewer prospective victims on the streets, in bars or other public places.
Burglars weren't likely to break into homes filled with people under lockdown,
they say.
Homicides, on the other hand, are up because violent criminals have been
emboldened by the sidelining of police, courts, schools, churches and an array
of other social institutions by the reckoning with police and the pandemic, say
analysts and law-enforcement officials in several cities.

As Federal Agents Retreat in Portland,
Protesters Return to Original Foe: Local Police
 While protests around the federal courthouse have remained calm for three
consecutive nights, Portland police officers chased demonstrators through the
streets near a local precinct.
Late on Saturday night, with protests in Portland continuing into their third
month, one crowd of demonstrators gathered yet again in front of the city's
fortified federal courthouse while another group traveled miles east to a
precinct used by local law enforcement.
At the federal courthouse, the crowd saw a third consecutive night of calm
since the
start of a plan to withdraw federal agents who had brought a militarized
crackdown to the city. But at the police precinct, officers pointed bright
lights into the crowd, warned protesters to disperse, then chased them through
the streets, knocking people to the ground, using pepper spray and making
arrests.
While the arrival of federal agents wearing camouflage last month outraged
protesters and local government leaders alike, their presence also masked the
more personal grievances that protesters have long had with their local police
force.
The city's protests in June were largely about local policing, with crowds
denouncing a criminal justice system that disproportionately harms Black people
and a Portland Police Bureau that has embraced aggressive tactics to contain
unruly crowds. The police have said the crowd had flung objects at officers,
including bottles and fireworks.

Defunding Seattle Police by 50% proving complicated for city council
Much has been made about the "veto-proof" majority of Seattle City Council
members who committed on Twitter and elsewhere to cutting 50% of the Seattle
Police Department's budget. But in the near term, the reality is proving more
complicated.
On Friday, only one council member, Kshama Sawant, proposed immediate and blunt cuts that
could slash close to 50% of the department's remaining 2020 budget. The rest
offered proposals for this year that would slice 100 full-time equivalent
positions - out of 1,428 fully trained, probationary and recruited officers -
from the department through layoffs and attrition, while shuffling some police
functions into other city departments.

Connecticut governor signs police reform bill into law
Gov. Ned Lamont on Friday signed into law a wide-ranging police accountability
bill that proponents said answers the calls for reform. The legislation creates
a new inspector general to investigate police use-of-force cases, limits
circumstances in which deadly use of force can be justified, and allows more
civilian oversight of police departments and allows civil lawsuits against
officers by individuals who've had their constitutional rights violated by
police if those actions were deemed "malicious, wanton or willful," among other
things.

Chicago: Saturday Protests Call for Changes in City's Police Department
Operation Legend: Inside look at the ATF mobile ballistics van arriving in
Chicago
 The
ABC7 I-Team has the first up-close look at the new mobile ballistics van
considered the cornerstone of Operation Legend, the federal law enforcement
effort to curb Chicago's surge of gun violence.
Even as hundreds of federal agents are deployed to several U.S. cities where
violence is surging this summer, only Chicago is getting the coveted and brand
new ballistics van from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF).
There is good reason for that. In Chicago, on average, someone is shot and
wounded about every two hours, and more than 10,000 illegal guns were seized
last year alone.
Under Operation Legend, the beefed-up ballistics lab on wheels will help sort
through the shell casings that dot city streets, mostly from lawless gang
skirmishes over drug territory.

Violence Over Masks
Bethlehem Township, PA: Man fires at officers with AK-47
after refusing to wear a mask in cigar shop
When a cigar shop clerk told Adam Zaborowski on Friday that he had to wear a
mask in the shop, the 35-year-old angrily refused. Instead, he grabbed two
stogies, stormed outside - and then pulled a handgun and shot at the clerk,
Bethlehem Township, Pa., police said.
The next day, cornered near his home, Zaborowski allegedly fired at police with
an AK-47, sparking a wild shootout with at least seven officers that ended with
him shot multiple times and under arrest.
The case is the latest violent incident tied to arguments over mandatory mask
orders. But Zaborowski's reaction was driven by his own intense difficulty
with the pandemic, his attorney claimed; before the shootout, Zaborowski had
lost his job and had also recently lost custody of his child.
In recent weeks, police say that arguments over masks have led to the vicious
beating of Trader Joe's employees in New York, the fatal shooting of a
Family Dollar store
security guard in Michigan, and the
shooting of a McDonald's worker in Oklahoma. That violence adds more
challenges for retail stores and restaurants where workers are left to dictate
mask rules that authorities often haven't given police the option to enforce.

With resurgence in COVID cases, NRF chief economist
says economic recovery is 'being tested daily'
 Despite
broad indications that the economy has begun to recover as businesses reopen
from the coronavirus pandemic, conflicting data makes it difficult to say how
steadily the comeback will continue, National Retail Federation Chief Economist
Jack Kleinhenz said today.
"Optimism about the economy and retail spending is being tested daily with the
spread of the coronavirus," Kleinhenz said. "Big questions are looming, and we
are all grappling to discern what incoming data is telling us about the health
of the economy and consumers. Depending on the data selected, the answers are
not entirely clear."
"A key question is whether the pace of growth and momentum will carry forward
over the next few months," Kleinhenz said. "Based on quarterly and monthly data,
the U.S. economic recovery continues despite elevated COVID-19 cases. But in
examining weekly data, the pace of improvement appears to be slowing. Could it
be that we are at or heading back to the same spot we were at two months ago?"

Lord & Taylor, Men's Wearhouse owner file for bankruptcy
 Lord & Taylor, one of America's oldest department stores, has filed for
bankruptcy, joining a growing list of stores slammed by the coronavirus
pandemic. Tailored Brands, the parent company of Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A.
Banks, also filed for bankruptcy.
Many of the companies that have filed for Chapter 11 in recent weeks were
already struggling, but the forced closure of nonessential stores in March
pushed them to the brink.
Lord & Taylor, which was sold to the French rental clothing company Le Tote Inc.
last year, filed Sunday for bankruptcy protection. In an announcement on its website, the company, said it was looking for a new owner. Like many
retailers, Lord & Taylor was already struggling with the shift to online
shopping even before the pandemic struck this spring. Last year, it sold its
flagship building on New York's Fifth Avenue after more than a century in the
11-story building.
Tailored Brands said it would continue to operate Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A.
Banks stores, along with K&G Fashion Superstore and Moores Clothing for Men,
which it also owns. It said in a release that a restructuring plan is expected
to reduce the company's funded debt by at least $630 million and provide
increased financial flexibility.
nbcnews.com
Editor's Note: In January 2018, Lord & Taylor hosted the D&D Daily's
"Live in NYC" at
the NRF Big Show 2018 event at its historic Fifth Avenue flagship store.
Leading up to the event, the Daily wrote a
feature
article on the history and story behind the landmark NYC building.
Retail rents plummet across New York City, as America's glitzy shopping
districts turn into ghost towns
High-end handbag maker Valentino is suing to get out of its lease on Fifth
Avenue in Manhattan, a vacated Barneys New York still sits empty on Madison
Avenue just a block over, while bankrupted luxury department store chain Neiman
Marcus is shutting its doors for good on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.
As the coronavirus pandemic brings tourism to a temporary standstill, leaves
consumers holed up at home and puts millions out of work, America's glitziest
and most expensive retail districts are losing tenants, and rents are in a free
fall. The pressures from the Covid-19 crisis will likely have a lasting
impact on shopping streets such as Michigan Avenue - better-known as the "Magnificent Mile"
- in Chicago, the Las Vegas Strip, and Rodeo Drive in Los
Angeles, to name a few.
It is already beginning to play out with the changes taking place throughout the
New York City retail scene, serving as a leading indicator of what's to come in
other major metros, real estate analysts predict. Average asking rents along
16 major retail corridors in Manhattan declined for the eleventh consecutive
quarter, falling to $688 per square foot in the second quarter, according to
CBRE.
"In the U.S., certainly you will see that what was once perceived as a luxury
block in any major city is no longer exclusively luxury."

UL Revising Guidelines for Central Station Alarm Employees Working From Home
What could not have been imagined at the start of this year would be having
alarm signals monitored and acted upon from the homes of supervising station
operators.
UL is in the process of making revisions to UL 827, Standard for
Central-Station Alarm Services. When the COVID pandemic began, UL released a
set of guidelines for the monitoring of systems from a home. These guidelines
were put into place as a temporary solution to what was thought at that time to
be only required for a short time until the pandemic faded. These temporary
guidelines were promulgated as a number of supervising stations had to address
social distancing, essential travel and shelter in place orders.
As it became evident that COVID-19 was not going to go away softly in the
evening, a task group was formed by UL to move the guidelines that used the word
"should" to language that used the word "shall." The formal name of the task
group is UL/ULC Joint Virtual Workplace Task Group. The work of this task group
is for supervising central stations in both the United States and Canada.

eBay teams up with Emmitt Smith to combat fraud
 eBay
is
partnering with a technology provider founded by an NFL legend to ensure the
authenticity of sports memorabilia sold on its site.
Starting July 31, buyers and sellers of sports memorabilia on eBay can use the
managed Prova Group SmarTag solution to verify items as legitimate. Each
authenticated item receives a Prova SmarTag placed by an authorized Prova
employee; the tag is then linked to a Prova SmartCOA, which is an item's
document of authenticity. Prova Group was founded by NFL Hall of Fame running
back Emmitt Smith.
After tagging, Prova Group scans the SmarTag to have associated authentication
data stored securely in the cloud. Customers can then authenticate an item by
looking it up on the Prova Group site. In addition, sellers can track their
memorabilia and share its authenticity via the Legit by Prova app. eBay and
other online retailers have been coming under increased pressure from the U.S.
government to take a more active role in preventing fraudulent and counterfeit
transactions from occurring on their platforms.
"As a preferred shopping destination for collectors of sports memorabilia
looking for a wide variety of rare and desirable inventory, it's incredibly
important to eBay that we can verify those items are legitimate," said Steve
Halupka, vertical manager, sports memorabilia at eBay.

Solutions for Covid-safe retailing
For over 40 years,
Sekura Global has been a trusted LP and security partner for
the world's leading retailers. Today, changing times have brought a new set of
challenges, so Sekura Global has moved quickly to help the world of retail get
back to business.
For retailers looking to re-open or ramp-up operations, Sekura Global has a
range of Covid-safe solutions to help shoppers and staff feel safer when
in-store.
 SteryBot®
SteryBot® is an autonomous robot that uses hospital-grade UVC light to sterilise
stores during closing hours. It kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, including
coronaviruses, to create Covid-safe retail environments.
The use of UVC light has long been proven in medical environments that require
the strictest standards of sterilisation. SteryBot® combines this technology
with autonomous robotics to deliver an essential safety solution for the retail
sector.
Proper disinfection of stores has become critical to retailers. Traditional,
manual disinfection methods are simply too unreliable and present potential
infection risk to staff. That's why we have introduced SteryBot®. Our fully
automated disinfection solution ensures an entirely reproducible process that
delivers consistent dosage and coverage - without the risk of human error.
 Dynamic social distancing system
To help retailers get Covid-safe, Sekura Global offers a next-generation tagging
system that enables dynamic social distancing.
Our new system uses ultra-wideband technology to help staff maintain required
gaps in the workplace, giving employees personal alerts when they are too close
to a colleague. For staff, this brings workplace reassurance. For retailers,
this means meeting their social distancing responsibilities while maximising
possible staff capacity.
The tagging system also supports contact tracing so, in the event of an
infection, business disruption is minimised because any necessary quarantines
can be highly targeted.
PPE Essentials
To complete our Covid-safe proposition, we also have a wide range of readily
available Personal Protection Equipment. With high stock levels, and a worldwide
network of offices, Sekura Global can ensure rapid distribution of these
essential products.

Amazon says police demands for customer data have gone up
Amazon has said the number of demands for user data made by U.S. federal and
local law enforcement have increased more during the first half of 2020 than
during the same period a year earlier. The disclosure came in the company's
latest transparency report, published Thursday.
The figures show that Amazon received 23% more subpoenas and search warrants,
and a 29% increase in court orders compared to the first half of 2019. That
includes data collected from its Amazon.com retail storefront, Amazon Echo
devices and its Kindle and Fire tablets.
Breaking those figures down, Amazon said it received:
● 2,416 subpoenas, turning over all or partial user data in 70% of cases.
● 543 search warrants, turning over all or partial user data in 79% of
cases.
● 146 court orders, turning over all or partial user data in 74% of
cases.
The number of requests to the company's cloud services, Amazon Web Services,
also went up compared to a year earlier. But it's not clear what caused the rise
in U.S. government demands for user data.
Amazon was
one of the last major tech companies to issue a transparency report, despite
mounting pressure from privacy advocates. But its report remains
far lighter on details compared to its Silicon Valley rivals.
The company's Ring smart camera division, despite facing criticism for its poor
security practices and its close relationships with law enforcement, has
yet to release any data related to police requests for user data.

3 Arrested for Massive Twitter Breach
Individuals aged 17, 19, and 22 behind July
15 bitcoin scam
that targeted celebrity and corporate accounts
Three individuals were charged Friday for their roles in the July 15 Twitter
breach that hijacked 130 accounts and spread a Bitcoin scam that led to the
theft of more than $100,000.
Twitter has
confirmed the attackers targeted a small number of its employees with a
phone spear-phishing attack. The perpetrators were able to use their stolen
credentials to tweet from celebrity accounts, access direct message inboxes, and
download data from Twitter accounts. A Department of Justice
release describes the attack as a combination of technical breaches and
social engineering.
The release states the alleged attackers include Mason
Sheppard, 19, a UK citizen charged with conspiracy to commit wire
fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and the intentional access of a
protected computer. Nima Fazeli, 22, is from Orlando,
Fla., and charged with aiding and abetting the intentional access of
a protected computer.
Their alleged co-conspirator is a 17-year-old who was
arrested in Tampa and is charged with 30 felony charges, including a
count of organized fraud (over $50,000), 17 counts of communications fraud (over
$300), 10 counts of fraudulent use of personal information, one count of
fraudulent use of personal information (over $100,000 or 30 or more victims),
and one count of access to a computer or electronic device without authority
(scheme to defraud).

What the CCPA means for content security
Now that the CCPA
is in full effect, businesses must adjust their processes to better protect
content. Organizations should prioritize security to avoid fines.
As of July 1, the state of California can start fining companies doing
business in Europe or the U.S. that aren't CCPA compliant. U.S. companies can no
longer ignore privacy and security requirements, as the goal is no longer to
avoid headlines, but to avoid fines.
&uuid=(email))
While the importance of protecting consumer data is clear, the trickle down to
content is less obvious. Content containing personally identifiable
information (PII) often resides further behind the company firewall.
However, as content wraps that PII in a business context, if a hacker steals
that content it can create more damage to customers and organizations -- and
potentially cause larger fines.
Reasonable security
One of the key requirements of the CCPA is that businesses must have reasonable
security to protect customer information that may live in a company's CRM
system, ERP system, e-commerce site or website via cookies and analytics data.
Reasonable security is the key requirement for organizations when thinking about
how the CCPA affects content and the systems -- such as email, share drives and
content management systems -- in which the business stores it. Organizations are
not likely to sell content such as invoices, proposals, presentations and
meeting minutes to other businesses. Content is bulkier than pure data and is
not structured in a way to extract quick value from it.
Content is the placement of data into context. The contextual view is valuable.
In many ways, content reflects a business's competitive advantage.
However, this does make the content even more important to protect with
reasonable security.

No Admission? Not a Problem.
I know, that seems
odd, because if you're conducting an interview with an accusation its assumed
you would want an admission of guilt. Obviously, any substantiated confession
serves as powerful evidence to be used in the disposition of case, whether it be
termination or prosecution. However, the admission should not be the goal of an
interviewer and supervisors should be cognizant of the pressure placed on
investigators to obtain admissions. Although the admission may be important in
making a determination on the outcome of the case, it's not always imperative to
have. Truth be told, when investigators prioritize the goal of obtaining
reliable information over the importance of seeking a confession, the results
are favorable for all of those involved.

LexisNexis 2020 True Cost of Fraud Study: E-commerce/Retail Edition,
Part
3
This research was conducted pre- and during the COVID-19 shutdown. Results have
been analyzed by these time periods to understand any impacts on and challenges
related to fraud detection and prevention during this unprecedented time.
Key Finding #4: Covid-19 increased online retail fraud.
 The
shuttering of numerous bricks-and-mortar retail stores combined with
stay-at-home orders during the peak of the pandemic had a profound effect on
retail fraud. Not surprisingly, as sales shifted to online channels, so did
fraud.
Key Finding #5:
Fraud is becoming more sophisticated.
Today's retailers and e-commerce merchants are dealing with multiple challenges
on various fronts. Fraudsters are inventive, continually trying new schemes and
searching for new weaknesses to exploit.
Key Finding #6: Layered solutions work best to prevent
fraud.
Study findings show that retailers face rising costs and revenue impacts from
fraud. Effective fraud prevention requires different solutions for different
channels and types of transactions. No single solution can do it all, when it
comes to authenticating both digital and physical criteria, as well as identity
and transaction risk.

Walmart Is Raising An Army Of Retailers To Beat Amazon
Behind the headlines, Walmart is raising an army of retailers to overpower
Amazon. And last month, Walmart cut an important deal as part of this "strategic
priority" (as Walmart describes it).
Walmart doesn't have nearly enough products at its grocery stores to match
Amazon's catalog. To combat that, America's brick and mortar retail giant has
been quietly raising its own army of online third-party sellers. In the
past four years, more than 35,000 retailers have started selling their stuff
through Walmart.com. And every day their ranks grow bigger and bigger.
As a result, the number of products listed on Walmart.com exploded 10X to 50+
million since 2018, according to Marketplace Pulse. And just like Amazon,
Walmart is now taking these retailers under its wing.

Tallahassee, FL: Police crack gun heist after suspect shows off stolen pistols
on Facebook
Police investigating back-to-back burglaries and gun thefts at a pawn shop
caught a major break after one of the suspects showed off a couple of the stolen
pistols in a live Facebook video. Investigators later found text messages
between the suspect and others discussing plans to break into Tallahassee Gun &
Pawn. Five people are believed to have burglarized the store twice in the

Organization Responsible for more than $568 Million in Losses
Cybercrime Organization Victimized Millions
in all 50 States and Worldwide in One of the Largest Cyberfraud Enterprises Ever
Prosecuted by the Department of Justice
 An
author of malicious computer software and a member of the Infraud Organization
pleaded guilty today to RICO conspiracy, announced Acting Assistant Attorney
General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department's Criminal Division. Valerian Chiochiu, aka
"Onassis," "Flagler," "Socrate," and "Eclessiastes," 30, pleaded
guilty before U.S. District Court Judge James C. Mahan in the District of
Nevada. Chiochiu is a national of the Republic of Moldova, but resided in the
United States during the period of the conspiracy.
His plea came just over a month after the co-founder and administrator of
Infraud, Sergey Medvedev of Russia, separately pleaded guilty on June 26.
Sentencing for Chiochiu has been scheduled for Dec. 11. Infraud was an
Internet-based cybercriminal enterprise engaged in the large-scale acquisition,
sale, and dissemination of stolen identities, compromised debit and credit
cards, personally identifiable information, financial and banking information,
computer malware, and other contraband. "Over the course of seven years,
Infraud and its alleged conspirators created a sophisticated cybercriminal
racketeering scheme that victimized individuals, merchants, and financial
institutions to the tune of over half a billion dollars in losses," said
Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department's
Criminal Division.

Surveys show that happiness at work significantly improves performance and
productivity. It translates into higher energy levels, better reviews, faster
promotions, higher wages, better health and overall a better environment. While
it shouldn't be surprising it often times needs to be remembered. When fellow
executives are unhappy for long periods or with their co-workers it needs to be
addressed because productivity and overall team health will suffer. Attitudes
are contagious and happier teams produce more and have better results. Is your
team happy?
Just a Thought,
Gus
