The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Shoplifting Trends Continue to Be Negative
Retail Shrink at a Crisis Point: 46% Say Shoplifting Easiest in Grocery Stores
By
Tony D'Onofrio - President,
Sensormatic
In the latest USA
National Retail Federation Security Survey published in September 2023,
retail shrink increased from 1.6% of sales from 1.4% in the previous year. This
equates to $112.1 billion in losses, up from $93.9 in the previous year. The
top 3 retailer priorities in the new NRF survey versus the previous year
were organized retail crime (78.1%),
violence during a criminal act (72.3%), and homelessness concerns (72.3%).
What's changed since the 2023 NRF security survey was published? How does theft
impact inventory distortion? What are the latest shoplifting trends? How do
consumers respond to retail theft? Why is retail crime at a crisis point? How
does USA compare to other countries with this problem? How do we solve the
problem of retail shrink?
The $1.7 Trillion Dollar Global Retail Problem
The IHL research noted that a considerable factor that contributes to inventory
distortion is consumer theft which in their study they estimated to reach
$118.7 billion in 2024. Interesting that the average theft rise is higher
for what are considered the retail winners which are retailers that experienced
15%+ growth in the previous year.
Shoplifting Trends Continue to be Highly Negative
New research from
Lending Tree found that more than 1 in 4 Americans (23%) have shoplifted
from physical stores, with 90% citing inflation and the current economy as the
primary reason. Other interesting findings from Lending Tree:
• Of those with a shoplifting history, 52% were older than 16 at the
time.
• Favorite destinations are grocery (46%)
followed by department (36%) and convenience stores (26%).
• The most common shoplifted items are food and nonalcoholic drinks
(45%), clothing, accessories or jewelry (39%), and makeup or cosmetics (21%).

Retailers Tell Employees To Take Hands-Off
Approach With Thieves
A Walgreens employee describes routine theft at his store - and how he's not
allowed to stop it
A Walgreens employee said his store is doing
little to combat theft, including by repeat offenders.
Walgreens
is one of many retailers that have called attention to theft from its stores in
recent years. But one store employee says that the
company is keeping its staff from doing anything about the problem.
An employee at the store has started taking the beauty products out of their
boxes, keeping them in the store's back room, and
putting the empty boxes back on the shelf, the employee interviewed
by BI said. The employee said that customers who want to purchase those items
then have to ask an employee to retrieve them from the back, in an improvised
anti-theft system.
One thing the employee said he could not do is pursue or question people who
appeared to be taking items without paying for them. The employee recalled
one recent incident involving a woman who appeared to have products stuffed into
her clothes. While standing in line with some other products on the conveyor
belt, she suddenly claimed that she had forgotten her money in her car, left the
line, and exited the store.
The employee said he followed her out of the store - and got reprimanded by
his manager for it.
Training materials that the employee said he reviewed when he started working at
Walgreens say that the store can turn over security camera footage to local
police in some cases. But the employee said he's unaware of that ever
happening at his store.
Major retailers, from Target to Lowe's, have talked about losses and other
issues that they've faced from theft over the past few years.

California Retail Theft Package Signed Into
Law
It's Official: Retail Theft Bills Become Law
in California
Gavin Newsom signs new retail theft laws as voters weigh even tougher penalties
Gov.
Gavin Newsom signed bills that aim to make it easier to
prosecute retail theft. He's asking voters to reject a ballot measure
that would impose even tougher penalties.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, still stinging from a public defeat last month, signed a
package of bills today that he and lawmakers pledged will combat rising
retail theft.
The 10 bills are intended to make it easier to prosecute people suspected of
retail and vehicle theft without undoing changes voters approved a decade ago
that reduced prison sentences for nonviolent crimes.
Voters in November will see a separate ballot measure,
Proposition 36, that would go further by increasing sentences for property
crimes and offenses related to fentanyl. Newsom and other Democrats
oppose the ballot measure, which they say would restore policies that they
contend failed to improve public safety even as they packed prisons with
nonviolent offenders.
The bills Newsom signed would make repeated theft convictions a felony,
collect crimes across multiple counties into one court so they can be
charged as a felony and allow police to arrest someone
on suspicion of retail theft even if the officer does not witness the crime.
Shoplifting and retail theft are "the issue that is front and center of the
consciousness of so many Californians," Newsom said at the signing today at
a Home Depot in San Jose where he was joined by Democratic lawmakers and
Attorney General Rob Bonta. "We didn't just wake up to this issue."

California Chamber of Commerce Statement on Governor Gavin Newsom Signing Retail
Theft Bills
'The New Laws Provide Important Tools for
Law Enforcement and Prosecutors to Crack Down on Organized Crime Rings and
Retail Thieves'
California
Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jennifer Barrera last Friday issued the
following statement following Governor Gavin Newsom's signing of a package of
bills to improve public safety and address retail theft in the state:
"California business owners and operators, and the customers they serve, greatly
appreciate the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom, Assembly Speaker Robert
Rivas and Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire to address retail theft
issues in California. The new laws signed by Governor
Newsom today provide important tools for law enforcement and prosecutors to
crack down on organized crime rings and retail thieves, and also send a strong
signal that California is serious about holding criminals accountable.
We are grateful that so many groups came together-including business and retail
leaders, law enforcement and policy makers-to address the problem with
meaningful reforms."

ORC Arrests & Investigations Surge in
California
Since its launch in 2019, task force members have
made over 2,900 arrests and seized $45 million worth of stolen goods.
California's effort to crack down on retail theft continues in July with 167
arrests
A California Highway Patrol-led task force targeting organized retail theft
across the state made 167 arrests in July, officials said.
The arrests stemmed from 128 separate investigations and represented more
than twice the number of arrests reported by the California Organized Retail
Crime Task Force over the prior month, according to a statement issued by
Gov. Gavin Newsom's office.
"Our relentless pursuit of organized retail crime continues to yield
significant results, month after month," California Highway Patrol
Commissioner Sean Duryee said. "Through targeted investigations and numerous
arrests, we are actively disrupting and dismantling these crime rings that
threaten our communities and businesses. Our message is clear:
we will not allow organized retail crime to go
unchecked in California."
How many arrests has the California retail theft task
force made?
The task force has made 884 arrests and recovered roughly $7.2 worth of
stolen merchandise since January, officials said. Since its launch in 2019,
task force members have made over 2,900 arrests and seized $45 million worth
of stolen goods.
State officials distributed $267 million to 55 communities last year to
combat organized retail theft, according to the governor's office statement.
"These funds have enabled cities and counties to hire more police, make more
arrests, and secure more felony charges against suspects.

San Francisco Small
Businesses Demand Help Fighting Theft
CA's new retail theft laws come at a time when SF small business owners say they
need more support
Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday a new plan to help curb retail theft
across California. He signed a package of 10 bills into law to combat
smash-and-grabs, car thefts, retail crime and the sale of stolen goods
statewide. San Francisco has been no stranger to retail crimes.
"Definitely retail theft is out of control," Alejandro Jimenez of Randa's
Market said. From major luxury retailers hit repeatedly by smash-and-grabs to
small business owners wondering when they'll get hit again, some say, they need
the support now more than ever.
San Francisco saw a dramatic increase in shoplifting incidents during the
pandemic. Ultimately, the thefts reportedly led to economic losses,
contributed to store closures and forced some upscale
stores to change to appointment-only.
Efforts to combat retail theft ramped up in 2022 when the state set aside
more than $200 million for crime-fighting grants. San Francisco got $17
million in 2023.

Retail Grapples with 'Wave of Bankruptcies'
How to avoid a restructuring fail
The retail industry is grappling with a wave of bankruptcies as many national
retailers struggle to remain afloat.
Brands such as Red Lobster, Express, Joann, David's
Bridal and 99 Cents Only Stores are just a handful of names that have
filed for bankruptcy within the past year. These retailers faced challenges such
as shifts in consumer behavior and increasing operational costs, or have
struggled to stay relevant and adapt to changing market dynamics.
Restructuring is a viable strategy for distressed retail companies, as it
creates an opportunity to optimize the financial and operational aspects of a
business to improve profitability. Real estate is a critical, yet often
overlooked, component of retail restructuring.
Aligning real estate assets with sales performance by right-sizing stores and
renegotiating leases can significantly impact the company's bottom line. The key
to successful restructuring lies in paying close attention to all aspects of
the business, including a company's real estate portfolio to ensure a
streamlined and effective turnaround strategy.
By understanding your business model, including target market, operational
requirements and growth plans, it's easier to tailor negotiations for success.
Knowing the target market helps identify the locations that maximize customer
reach and sales potential, while understanding any unique operational
requirements ensures the space meets logistical needs such as layout, square
footage and amenities. Awareness of growth plans allows for flexibility in lease
terms, accommodating future expansions or contractions.

Chicago Turns Into Security Fortress For DNC
Surprise DNC security measures crop up along Mag Mile, other parts of downtown
Chicago
The preparations for the Democratic National Convention are in high gear, and on
Saturday security measures surprisingly spilled over into neighborhoods
nowhere near the United Center or McCormick Place.
At
the Dirksen Federal Building in the Loop, security gates popped up overnight to
prevent anyone from vandalizing the courthouse, while people living along the
Magnificent Mile and Gold Coast discovered unexpected more security gates and
road closures miles away from the DNC sites.
Along the Magnificent Mile near Chicago Avenue, roads
have been blocked off, police officers are on standby, and large security gates
have partially cut off access to sidewalks. The measures popped up
overnight, leaving McClendon a little perplexed.
Chicagoans were fully aware of the security measures going on around the United
Center and McCormick place for the DNC, but now communities nowhere near the
convention locations are impacted too. David Woulard said he thinks it was
the right move for police and the Secret Service not to warn about the downtown
street closures.
"To have complete level of safety and security, you can't put that stuff out
in advance," he said.

15,000 AT&T Employees Go On Strike
AT&T: CWA Announces Strike in Southeast Negotiations
AT&T has announced that the The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has
initiated a strike affecting approximately 15,000 employees in the Southeast
region. The union's move comes amid ongoing negotiations, with CWA alleging
unfair labor practices as their main reason for the strike.
In response, AT&T expresses disappointment in the union's claims and said, "We
have been engaged in substantive bargaining since day 1 and are eager to reach
an agreement that benefits our hard-working employees. As evidence, we have
reached 3 agreements this year covering more than 13,000 employees,
including our most recent tentative agreement with District 9. We remain
committed to working with District 3 in the same manner.
The CWA official statement claims that AT&T was, "not bargaining in good
faith, engaging in surface bargaining, and not sending representatives to the
bargaining table with the authority to make decisions. The charges also
address the company's refusal to bargain over mandatory subjects of bargaining
and reneging on agreements made in bargaining."

Ex-LP Manager Files $20M Lawsuit Against
Safeway
The former LP manager says was fired for giving food

Former supermarket manager sues chain for $20M, claiming he was terminated for
giving food to SFPD cops
Oscar Santos Jr. has filed a lawsuit against
Safeway, arguing that a new manager fired him for giving food to officers
conducting a shoplifting operation
A former Safeway loss-prevention manager has filed a $20 million lawsuit
against the supermarket chain, alleging wrongful termination after giving deli
sandwiches and fried chicken to police officers conducting shoplifting stings,
the San Francisco Standard reported.
Oscar Santos Jr., 33, claims he was falsely accused of violating company
policies after another employee reported that he took food from the deli
counter in late 2023, according to the report. Santos maintains that
the food was provided to police officers with the store
management's approval as a thank-you gesture for their assistance
with shoplifting operations.

Sensitive Customer Data Exposed
Thousands of Oracle NetSuite E-Commerce Sites Expose Sensitive Customer Data
Users of Oracle's ERP for Web storefronts
might not be aware of a misconfiguration which could put customer data at risk
of exposure.
A widespread misconfiguration in Oracle NetSuite's SuiteCommerce enterprise
resource planning (ERP) platform has left sensitive
customer data exposed across thousands of websites.
Security firm AppOmni uncovered the issue, describing how many businesses using
NetSuite to support e-commerce have inadvertently allowed unauthorized access
to customer records due to misconfigured access controls on custom record
types (CRTs).
These CRTs store critical data such as personal addresses and phone numbers,
making them an attractive target for cybercriminals.
"Thousands of these organizations are leaking sensitive customer data to the
public through misconfigurations in their access controls," Aaron Costello,
chief of SaaS security research at AppOmni, wrote in the blog. "The sheer scale
at which I found these exposures to be occurring is significant."
The issue lies not with NetSuite's platform itself, but in the way some
website admins configure their stores, allowing unauthorized users to access
customer data through leaky APIs.
The misconfiguration, which primarily affects externally facing stores on
SuiteCommerce, essentially allows unauthorized individuals to query sensitive
information without authentication, by way of URL manipulation, according to
AppOmni.

Tech Sector Top Targeted Industry
Manual techniques are fueling ransomware attacks, CrowdStrike says
2024 is on track to be the highest-grossing
year for ransomware payments, Chainalysis found, and threat groups are going
after the technology sector.
Interactive
intrusions, attacks involving hands-on-keyboard activities within a victim's
environment, were up 55% in the last year, CrowdStrike said last week
in a
threat hunting report.
The cybersecurity vendor's threat intelligence outfit attributed nearly 9 in
10 interactive intrusions to e-crime activity during the one year period ending
June 30. Hands-on-keyboard attacks jumped 75% in the healthcare sector and
60% in the technology industry, the report found.
The technology sector, which includes software, hardware and IT services,
was the most frequently targeted industry for the seventh consecutive
year, according to CrowdStrike's research.
Technology vendors remain a high-value and opportunistic target for
threat groups because of the broad reach their services have into customer
environments in every sector.
Attacks against technology firms and their customers often cascade
downstream, amplifying the potential impact of cyberattacks and ransomware
groups' ability to extort more victims.

Impersonating Google Ads
Tech support scammers impersonate Google via malicious search ads
Google Search ads that target users looking for Google's own services lead
them to spoofed sites and Microsoft and Apple tech support scams.
It all starts with the ads, pushed by the same (compromised) advertiser and then
later by a new advertiser account opened by the scammers. The ads ostensibly
point to Google Search, Translate, Analytics, Earth, and so on, but a closer
look shows that the URLs of the pages are not the correct ones.
Instead, they are all hosted on Looker Studio (lookerstudio.google.com), another
Google service/online tool that allows users to convert data into reports and
dashboards. The page looks like the real deal, but it is actually an image of
the Google Search home page that is stretched across the entire screen.

Retailers a 'Lucrative Target' Online
Breaking down online shopping's silent threat
Identify threat actors playing the long game
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have long served as the invisible
backbone of online retail. They empower retailers to seamlessly integrate
the intricate web of ecommerce systems, orchestrating everything from payment
processing to shipping logistics and inventory management. This
interconnectedness, however, has also made the retail sector a lucrative target
for threat actors. Facing a barrage of 19 billion malicious API requests in
2023 alone, retailers suffered relentless attempts to exploit
vulnerabilities in any link of the API chain, potentially leading to data theft,
operational disruption, or financial damage.
Back-to-school season is prime time for threat actors. Retailers have
recognized this for years, typically amping up security during peak buying
times. However, this approach is no longer foolproof. Sophisticated attackers
launch "attack runs" earlier in the year to lay the groundwork for seasonal
sales, effectively circumventing retailers' security lockdowns.
Playing the long game
In the past, threat actors favored "smash and grab" cybercrime: simple,
opportunistic schemes targeting readily accessible vulnerabilities. Today,
however, they're evolving. Investing more time and resources in stealth, they
spread attacks over longer periods, aiming to fly under the radar and inflict
greater damage at peak times.
Threat actors are outsmarting security lockdowns by creating high volumes of
valid accounts via standard APIs earlier in the year. This calculated move
aims to establish trust and credibility within the market, fostering increased
social sharing and expanded reach far ahead of peak shopping seasons. Threat
actors employ sophisticated tooling and automation to bolster the accounts'
legitimacy to mimic normal user activity, including communication with other
accounts, liking content, and subscribing to services.
However, the sheer scale of these operations often surpasses human capabilities,
raising red flags. The resulting inundation of activity crowds out legitimate
users and jeopardizes the company's and its marketplace's integrity. This
type of attack exemplifies modern retail attacks' meticulous planning and
persistence.
Beyond the long game, threat actors frequently deploy a real-time tactic:
account takeovers (ATOs). Instead of spending time crafting thousands of
"legitimate" accounts, ATOs involve targeting and seizing control of existing
customer accounts, offering a much faster path to success. This threat is
constant, but unsurprisingly, activity surges during the peak shopping periods,
with a staggering 410-fold increase in ATOs during the second half of the year.

Amazon Drone Program Can't Get Off the Ground
Amazon's troubled drone delivery program faces latest challenge in Texas:
Annoyed residents
The program, which has struggled to get off
the ground, is now facing scrutiny from College Station residents, who are
complaining about the noise levels.
Noise complaints are just the latest challenge for Amazon's drone program
that's been struggling to get off the ground since the company started testing
deliveries in 2022. A mix of regulatory hurdles, missed deadlines and layoffs
last year, coinciding with widespread cost-cutting efforts by CEO Andy Jassy,
has halted progress of the ambitious service, which was conceived of by Amazon
founder Jeff Bezos more than a decade ago.
College Station, located about 100 miles northwest of Houston, has been the
main testing ground for Prime Air, as Amazon tries to show it can ferry packages
by unmanned aircraft to residents' homes in under an hour. Lockeford,
California, south of Sacramento, was supposed to be another test market, but
Amazon shuttered its operation there in April. The company is seeking approval
from regulators to start deliveries in Tolleson, Arizona, west of Phoenix.
As Amazon prepares to scale up Prime Air and expand it to more areas, it's
encountering another reason why that won't be so easy. In a July letter to
the Federal Aviation Administration, College Station Mayor John Nichols wrote
that residents in his city, home to Texas A&M University, have grown tired of
the drones loudly buzzing near their homes.

Kansas City, MO: KC woman who stole over $60,000 in merchandise sentenced in
Platte Co
The woman who's accused of stealing almost $67,000 worth of store merchandise
from various stores across the KC metro pleaded guilty and was sentenced
yesterday in Platte County Circuit Court. According to court documents, Asia
Marshall, 20, of Kansas City, Missouri pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery
and 11 counts of stealing $750 or more. Documents say that Marshall was also
sentenced Thursday, August 15, receiving seven years in prison on each count
with all sentences running concurrently. According to court documents, on
several occasions, Marshall entered retailers, usually with a group of other
individuals and would place items in shopping bags or baskets and leave without
paying. One theft at a Bath and Body Works in Platte Co. in December of 2023
resulted in an employee being punched multiple times and around $1,500 worth of
store merchandise being damaged. The suspects in this robbery made off with
$1,500 in merchandise.

"Build the field and they'll come to play!" An expression that many never truly
understand or practice. Especially in today's world where we're all expected to
do more with less and corporate America has tightened the budgets to the levels
most of us have never seen before. Having faith that your performance will bring
promotions, increased salaries, and new jobs is very difficult in today's
climate. But we all have to keep the faith and do our best every day regardless.
Because at the end, it's what defines us and sooner or later our positive
actions will pay off.
Just a Thought, Gus
