Mass shooting tips to FBI surge 70% after El Paso, Dayton massacres
The number of calls to an FBI tip line designed to head off mass shootings and
other attacks surged by 70% in the week after twin massacres in El Paso, Texas,
and Dayton, Ohio, federal officials said on Monday. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation fielded more than 38,000 phone and online tips during the week
after the shootings on the first weekend of August, up from the 22,000 tips it
typically receives on a weekly basis. The surge is evidence of an America
public made jittery by a steady drumbeat of mass shootings.
"Such increases are often observed after major incidents," the FBI said in a
statement. "As always, the FBI encourages the public to remain vigilant and
report any and all suspicious activity to law enforcement immediately." FBI
officials said the number of tips the center receives each week fluctuates and
not all are actionable. Some tips turn into FBI investigations while others are
forwarded to local authorities. The number of FBI tips also does not include the
thousands of tips that state and local law enforcement agencies have received
since the shootings.
According to a report published by the National Threat Assessment Center earlier
this year, three out of every four perpetrators in 55 mass shootings and
attacks in 2017 and 2018 made prior threats or sent messages that sparked
concern. More than a half a dozen people have been arrested and charged
across the United States in recent weeks as a result of tips, according to media
and police.

Are You Enabling a Toxic Culture Without Realizing It?
By Celia Swanson, First Female EVP at
Walmart Inc.
During my tenure as executive vice president of Walmart, I hired a brilliant
strategist to create a marketing strategy for the Sam's Club division. Her
results were powerful; the campaign was simple yet highly relevant. We became
friendly, and I considered the hire a success until one of the team members
approached me. It turned out the strategist had been incredibly hostile with her
colleagues, making them feel marginalized and worthless. This had gone on for
more than a year, and many on the team were considering leaving. After being
unaware of the problem for so long, I took immediate action and fired her.
The crisis didn't end there. Though I was able to convince the team's top talent
to stay, it took years to earn back their trust. This whole situation could have
played out very differently. Looking back, I see how I enabled the strategist by
not looking beyond her results. And I see that the team's hesitancy to speak up
allowed the toxicity to continue unabated.
Ultimately, it is the responsibility of every individual - no matter
their org-chart status - to step up and lead by example in a toxic workplace
culture.
From this experience, I developed several strategies to help me and my team
members across the company identify how we can work together to prevent toxic
cultures from taking hold. The key to this strategy is for each person to
identify the role they play in either supporting or combating the culture.

Amazon Uses a Twitter Army of Employees to Fight Criticism of Warehouses
They love working there. It's great. They love it. It's great. They
love it. It's great. They love it. It's great. They love it. It's great. They
love it.
On Wednesday evening, a phalanx of Amazon employees known as "FC ambassadors"
began tweeting again about how great it is to work at Amazon. When the
ambassadors see others on social media discussing the
brutal working conditions at Amazon fulfillment centers, its
anti-union actions or
anything else unflattering about the company, they step in to offer an
on-the-ground perspective.
The FC ambassadors were introduced in 2018 and first attracted attention about a
year ago. At the time, Krystal Hu, a reporter for Yahoo Finance, said that the
company told her there were 14 FC ambassadors and that they were paid to patrol
social media full time. They
popped up again in February, when various accounts began spouting anti-union
talking points ("unions are thieves" that make it difficult for employers to
"discipline, terminate or promote").
The accounts have provoked suspicion. In January, it
appeared that the accounts had changed hands; one that had belonged to a
"Leo" had changed its display name and handle to Ciera. A "Rick" had become a
"James," and a "Michelle" had transformed into a "Sarah."

How Amazon convinces police to join the Ring network:
Peer pressure, free products and a lot of persistence
Documents obtained by CNET through a Freedom of Information Act request detail
how Amazon Ring's staff convinced a local police department in California to
join Neighbors, an app released by the company in May 2018. When police didn't
respond, Ring would follow up by noting neighboring law enforcement agencies
that have joined, pushing for the Chula Vista police to join them.
 The tactics also offer a window into how Ring, which retail giant Amazon
purchased last year for $839 million, has struck
partnerships with roughly 250 police departments across the country.
Police consider it a tool for obtaining video in investigations, as well as
creating surveillance networks in residential neighborhoods.
But these relationships are cause for alarm among privacy advocates, who raise
concerns that a tech giant like Amazon is helping police create surveillance
networks.

Johnson & Johnson Ordered To Pay $572 Million in Oklahoma Opioid Trial
Could open floodgate of litigation
targeting others, including retailers that sold them
An Oklahoma judge ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for
contributing to the state's opioid-addiction crisis, a verdict that could signal
further findings of liability for drug companies as similar cases wind through
courts across the country.
More than 2,000 cases brought by state and local municipalities seek to hold
drugmakers, retail pharmacy chains and distributors accountable for widespread
opioid abuse that began gaining public attention in the early 2000s. That flood
of litigation coincides with intensifying efforts by the Justice Department to
use data to investigate over-prescription of opioids by doctors.

California Law Protects Alarm Companies From User Permit Fines, Fees
Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed into law AB 1298. AB 1289, authored by

compliance contractors from directly billing an alarm company of any fines that
may occur if the end user of a system was responsible for obtaining an alarm use
permit, or the renewal of that permit.

 Hurricane
Watch up for Puerto Rico as Dorian churns west; Florida eyeing potential weekend
impact
A hurricane watch has been issued for Puerto Rico ahead of tropical storm
Dorian, where conditions are forecast to begin deteriorating as early as
Wednesday morning. The island is already under a tropical storm warning, with
the threat of heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding and mudslides
constituting the biggest concerns for the storm-weary island of 3.2 million.
The island could see strong winds, too, although the winds will be only 10 to 20
percent of what the island experienced during Hurricane Maria, the Category 4
hurricane that devastated the island in 2017.

Majority of businesses are unprepared for California privacy act
In a few months, the
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will be in effect, and only 8% of
businesses are prepared, according to an August 2019 survey of 1,500 businesses,
15% of which were retailers, conducted by personalization data vendor
PossibleNOW Inc.
 The CCPA privacy law, which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020, gives
Californians rights to opt out of the sale of their personal information, the
ability to have their data deleted and a right to know what has been collected
on them.
This impacts every online retailer that sells
to California consumers, as most merchants collect a consumer's name,
location, IP addresses and identifiers that track their web and app use on their
internet-connected devices, such as laptops and smartphones.
The CCPA Readiness survey finds that most businesses are aware (20%) or are
educating themselves (58%) about CCPA, and only 22% did not know about it.
Although businesses are aware, less than half are ready, as only 8% said they
are prepared today. However, 34% said they are not currently prepared for CCPA
compliance now, but will be by Jan. 1.
 Of the businesses that will not be complaint by the New Year's Day deadline, the
top reason, at 34%, was that it's too expensive to comply, followed closely by
32% of businesses who said they are waiting to see how it's enforced.
The California Attorney General enforces CCPA, and each violation can amount to civil penalty of up to $7,500 per record
for each intentional violation, and $2,500 per record for each unintentional
violation. For example, a business mismanaging 1,000 consumer privacy requests could face a fine ranging
from $2.5 million-$7.50 million.

Ex-Whole Foods worker claims company's fingerprint time clock
violates IL biometric privacy law
A former employee of a River Forest Whole Foods store claims the supermarket
chain is violating the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act by
requiring employees to scan their fingerprints into a biometric time clock.
Kenyatta Nichols, who worked in Whole Foods' prepared food and deli department
for four months, said the store required her to use a biometric time clock
system in which employees have to scan their fingerprints to clock in and out of
their shifts.
In her suit, Nichols said the use of the biometric time clock placed her and
other employees at risk of identity theft and that their fingerprints "or a
representation derived from" the fingerprints were given to Whole Foods'
time-keeping vendor. Nichols also said Whole Foods did not ask for consent to
use employees' fingerprints or provide information on the purpose or amount of
time a "private entity" will have the employees' biometric identifiers and
information.
Nichols seeks damages of $1,000-$5,000 per violation, plus attorneys'
fees and costs.

IRS Alerts Taxpayers to New Email Scam
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is
warning taxpayers and tax professionals of a new impersonation scam in which
fraudsters send unsolicited emails containing malicious links.
 Emails contain links to a website resembling IRS.gov with details seemingly
related to the recipient's tax refund, electronic return, or account. A
"one-time password" is provided so the victims can access their refund
information. Recipients who enter the password unintentionally download malware
that could let attackers take control of their systems or install software that
could track keystrokes. As a result, they could give away the passwords to
sensitive accounts.
Subject lines for these emails vary. The IRS says recent examples use phrases
like "Automatic Income Tax Reminder" or "Electronic Tax Return Reminder." It may
not be tax season, but this campaign serves as a reminder that tax scams are a
yearlong initiative for cybercriminals.

'Making a Murderer': From the
Screen to the Hot Seat
|
Dave Thompson, CFI
VP of Operations,
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates |
|
 |
The Netflix true-crime documentary series "Making a Murderer" highlighted the
case of Brendan Dassey and the interrogation that led to a highly controversial
"confession" and guilty verdict resulting in Dassey's incarceration.
Worldwide leaders in non-confrontational interviewing techniques,
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates
(WZ), took a stand by highlighting the issues and errors made in these
interrogations leading to coerced confessions - and have continued to use this
case as an example in their training programs.
Dave Thompson, CFI, discusses the impact "Making a Murderer" has had on the
interrogation community and how it's helped push the evolution of this essential
skill for practitioners ranging from law enforcement to loss prevention.

Amazon Has Ceded Control of Its Site.
The Result: Thousands of Banned, Unsafe or Mislabeled Products
Just like tech companies that have struggled to tackle misinformation on
their platforms, Amazon has proven unable or unwilling to effectively police
third-party sellers on its site
Many of the millions of people who shop on Amazon.com see it as if it were an
American big-box store, a retailer with goods deemed safe enough for customers.
In practice, Amazon has increasingly evolved like a flea market. It exercises
limited oversight over items listed by millions of third-party sellers, many of
them anonymous, many in China, some offering scant information.
A Wall Street Journal investigation found 4,152 items for sale on Amazon.com
Inc. 's site that have been declared unsafe by federal agencies, are deceptively
labeled or are banned by federal regulators-items that big-box retailers'
policies would bar from their shelves. Among those items, at least 2,000
listings for toys and medications lacked warnings about health risks to
children.
The Journal identified at least 157 items for sale that Amazon had said it
banned, including sleeping mats the Food and Drug Administration warns can
suffocate infants. The Journal commissioned tests of 10 children's products it
bought on Amazon, many promoted as "Amazon's Choice." Four failed tests based on
federal safety standards, according to the testing company, including one with
lead levels that exceeded federal limits.
Of the 4,152 products the Journal identified, 46% were listed as shipping
from Amazon warehouses.
After the Journal brought the listings to Amazon's attention, 57% of the 4,152
listings had their wording altered or were taken down. Amazon said that it
reviewed and addressed the listings the Journal provided and that company
policies require all products to comply with laws and regulations.
"Safety is a top priority at Amazon," says a spokeswoman. Amazon uses automated
tools that scan hundreds of millions of items every few minutes to screen
would-be sellers and block suspicious ones from registering and listing items,
using the tools to block three billion items in 2018, she says.
Amazon's struggle to police its site adds to the mounting evidence that
America's tech giants have lost control of their massive platforms-or decline to
control them. This is emerging as among the companies' biggest challenges.

Amazon denies reports of unsafe products
The e-tail giant is defending what it says is an industry-leading product safety
and compliance program.
In a corporate blog post also dated Friday, Aug. 23, Amazon issued a direct
response to the article which mentioned the Wall Street Journal by name.
"In 2018 alone, we invested over $400 million to protect our store and our
customers and built robust programs to ensure products offered are safe,
compliant, and authentic," Amazon said
in the post.
According to Amazon, its new seller account vetting includes a number of
verifications and uses proprietary machine learning technology to help prevent
unethical sellers from registering or listing products. The e-tailer also says
products offered in Amazon stores must comply with applicable laws and
regulations, as well as Amazon's policies.
"For example, we require toys to be tested to relevant safety standards set by
the Consumer Product Safety Commission," Amazon said in the post. "We have a
dedicated global team of compliance specialists that review submitted safety
documentation, and we have additional qualification requirements that sellers
must meet to offer products."

WSJ: AMAZON MARKETPLACE FAILS CONSUMER PROTECTION
STANDARDS
The
Wall Street Journal published a deep dive into the third-party marketplace
operated by Amazon.com, highlighting flaws in the platform's ability to
effectively abide by federal regulations surrounding consumer protection,
counterfeit goods, and product safety.
Earlier this year,
RILA submitted comments to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) outlining
retailers' concerns with the ability of big tech companies to control product
information, prices, and quality, and the negative impact this can have on
consumers, writing:
 "If
the digital interface masks or obfuscates the true identity of the seller, or
leaves the misimpression that an item is new and from the manufacturer, or
falsely implies that a knock-off item is just like the option from a well-known
brand, consumers (as well as regulators and enforcers) have no ability to
uncover the truth until after their purchase. That harms consumers who do not
get what they were looking for, and may not even realize it because the
provenance or nature of their item has been obscured by the very information
source through which they sought out the item in the first place."

Worchester, MA: Blowtorch Burglar of Target
stores gets 15-month sentence
 A
Pennsylvania man who used a blowtorch to break into the Target store in Westboro
in 2014 - one of four Targets he burglarized, stealing nearly $200,000 - was
sentenced to 15 months in federal prison Monday. Mr. Aiken broke into eight
Targets in total in 2014 and 2015, Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg A. Friedholm
said Monday, four of which resulted in successful burglaries. Mr. Friedholm
characterized the break-ins - which took place in Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Hampshire - as a "crime spree."
Aiken and his brother generally used portable blowtorches to cut through metal
doors at the rear of the buildings, prosecutors have said, and stole nearly
$200,000 in merchandise - usually Apple iPhones and iPads, that they sold to a
buyer "in and around" New York City.

Having a strategy or a plan about everything you do is important if you expect
to win long term. Daily victories are nothing without a long-term plan. They
fade quickly and leave the audience expecting more, which only a plan and
strategy will satisfy. So after your next victory, ask yourself what am I going
to do next?
Just a Thought,
