Data: The Hidden Asset
LP Experts Explain Why Today's Security Executive
Must Understand Cybercrime, Work Closer with IT
In a recent
webinar, Katie Jordan, NRF's research manager for consumer and industry
insights, discussed the
2020 National Retail Security Survey and its findings with
Earl Watson, vice president of physical security with
Lyft, and Shaun Gilfoy, director of regional
security for the Americas with Levi Strauss & Co.
Jordan began by
noting that ecommerce fraud, ORC and cybercrime seemed to be increasing areas of
concern in the industry. "We've seen them getting smarter," Watson said. "It's
like they have a research and development team of thieves that figure out what
we're doing."
The hidden asset
Much of the conversation that followed was overshadowed by two current
realities. One is the ongoing coronavirus crisis, which has caused an enormous
upsurge in ecommerce. The other is that, with the boom in ecommerce - and
the need to provide a hassle-free, personalized customer experience -
retailers have become the custodians of a vast trove of customer data,
including credit card numbers, security codes and addresses.
That data is an asset, and just like baby food or perfume or cell phones, it
can be sold on the black market. "The thieves are still trying to make a
living," Gilfoy said. "If they weren't already on the computer, they're going to
the computer. And they're finding more lucrative ways of generating revenue
illegally than some of the traditional methods."
Two worlds meet
The traditional role of LP in retail is guarding physical assets and making sure
actual, visible people - employees, shoplifters, ORC gangs - don't steal them.
That role is still essential, but along with it, LP professionals are by
necessity becoming more and more involved with cybercrime of various kinds. "How
do we prepare our teams to respond to this new and emerging risk," Watson said.
"How do I make sure my executives know we're supporting this area?"
The answer, both panelists agreed, is internal cooperation: LP, IT and
business leadership need to communicate clearly and learn from each other.
"The security executive of the future will really have to understand the
business they're in," Watson said, "how that business works, what their
profitability is like, what their key levers are to drive performance, because
we operate in the world, not a vacuum."

Protests & Violence
As Guns Get Drawn at Protest Sites, Demonstrators Fear a Volatile New Phase
As right-wing groups increasingly move to confront unrest in cities, clashes are
breaking out between demonstrators with starkly different views on how to keep
cities safe.
Violent street clashes between the two sides have broken out over the past two
weeks, leaving three people dead.
The arrival of firearms on both sides has
escalated the political debate over policing into precarious new territory.
President Trump, scheduled to visit Kenosha on Tuesday, warns that America's
cities are out of control, while Portland's mayor blames the president for
stoking the unrest.
Three months after George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis police, setting
off tumult nationwide, two opposite movements are brawling in the streets with
no sign of letting up as the country begins the final stretch toward the Nov. 3
election.

Portland police arrest 19 protesters as political divide hardens
Protests flared again in Portland overnight on Monday as demonstrators clashed
with police on the streets of the Oregon city, which has become a focus of the
U.S. presidential race after months of sometimes violent confrontations.
In the latest Portland unrest, police used smoke grenades and pepper balls to
control the crowd of protesters. Police acknowledged in a statement that
officers "deployed some crowd control munitions" and said 19 people were
arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with police.
About 200-300 people gathered in the downtown area to march to the apartment of
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to demand his resignation. They were seen setting
fire to wooden benches and plastic trash bins along the march.
Police declared Monday night's gathering unlawful and later upgraded it to a
riot after protesters set a fire in an apartment building.

Fatal shooting of Black man by L.A. sheriff's deputies sparks protests,
questions
 Los
Angeles County sheriff's deputies on Monday shot and killed a Black man in an
incident that is sparking concern and outrage in the
South Los Angeles neighborhood
of Westmont.
Hours after the shooting, a crowd gathered at the scene and demanded answers.
There were chants of "Say his name," "No justice, no peace" and "Black lives
matter." Some said they didn't think the shooting was justified.
After midnight Monday night,
more than 100 protesters marched
to the Sheriff's station on Imperial Highway, where the demonstration continued.
The incident comes two months after the
controversial shooting of 18-year-old Andres Guardado in Gardena, which has
sparked weeks of demonstrations.

26 now charged in connection with downtown Minneapolis looting last week
 26
now accused of crimes including burglary, assault and drug possession.
Crowds looted the Saks Off Fifth store in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday,
Aug. 26, after rumors swirled that police had shot a man, when in fact the man
had killed himself.
Authorities charged several more people in connection with looting last week
that occurred when people mistakenly thought a suicide was a police shooting.
The cases occurred late Wednesday into early Thursday, largely in downtown
Minneapolis. Four cases charged last week took place in Brooklyn Park.
At least 100 people were also arrested before the curfew expired at 6 a.m.
Friday; 80 of the arrests were for curfew violations.

California passes some modest police oversight bills, but other measures fall
short
After weeks of protests against law enforcement treatment of Black people,
California legislators on Monday were largely unable to pass a suite of police
reform measures, as the session ended chaotically.
Plagued by technology glitches, frustration and outright anger at times,
lawmakers passed a proposal to have the state attorney general or another state
prosecutor look into fatal shootings by peace officers.
The bill also does not go into effect unless the Legislature approves funding
for associated costs.

The Aftermath of the Riots - SMB's Can't Afford
Clean-Up
Hazardous Waste Doubles Demolition Costs
Skyrocketing demolition costs for riot-damaged Minneapolis,
St. Paul properties delay rebuilding
 One
day after
rioters destroyed the Sports Dome retail complex in St. Paul,
a construction crew hired by the city knocked the building down because it was
dangerously unstable.
Then the city presented the
property owners with a $140,000 bill for what it would cost to haul away the
debris.
Insurance policies cover a maximum of $25,000 to $50,000 in demolition costs. As
contractors have been submitting bids of $200,000 to $300,000.
In many cases,
the price of the work is not much lower than the actual value of the property,
records show. Because
government regulations require them to treat all debris from a burned-out
building as hazardous.
Which can double demolition costs.
Some property owners are begging city officials
to take the lead with contractors by combining their projects and seeking public
bids for the work.

All the COVID Numbers Are Improving
California's deadliest month of the COVID-19 pandemic is August
August was the deadliest month of the COVID-19 pandemic in California, even
as the state makes steady progress in reducing infections, hospitalizations and
deaths, data show.
This month, California has reported 3,745 deaths connected to COVID-19, an 18%
increase over July, a Los Angeles Times analysis found.
Despite August's grim fatality milestone, new data released by California
officials and analyzed by The Times show that by practically every measure,

Numbers Improving in Minnesota as Well
Minnesota crosses troubling COVID-19 thresholds
New cases now exceed U.S. average; crackdown on gatherings urged.
the state's new case rate now exceeds the national average and outpaces growth
for the first time in the number of diagnostic tests performed.
State Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said there are signs of COVID-19 growth
statewide - and that Minnesota has overlooked the risk of viral transmission in
family and friend gatherings compared with supermarkets and stores where
mask-wearing and social distancing have become the norm.
The 306 COVID-19 hospitalizations on Monday also reflected a plateauing of
severe cases through much of August, but Malcolm said the state needs to act
before either of these trends worsens. The state reporting only one COVID-19
death - the lowest single-day total since mid-April. That brought the
state's death toll to 1,817.

Suspects Watching the Cops
FBI warned of how Ring doorbell can be used against police officers
Leaked documents have revealed the concerns of law enforcement in how Internet
of Things (IoT)
technology can pose a risk to the safety of police officers.
As
reported by The Intercept, a 2019 analysis bulletin highlights how IoT
footage can
"pose security challenges" for law enforcement.
Namely, when police
officers are considered unwanted visitors.
"If used during the
execution of a search, potential subjects could learn of LE's [law enforcement]
presence nearby, and LE personnel could have their images captured, thereby
presenting risk to their present and future safety." In "standoff" situations,
too, IoT devices can
alert suspects to the position of police officers around or in a property.
The publication cites
another bulletin,
which noted the "subject
may have been able to covertly monitor law enforcement activity while law
enforcement was on the premises."

"We've hit a stalemate" in negotiations with several outside bidders, Penney's
bankruptcy lawyer Joshua Sussberg said Monday during a hearing in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Corpus Christi, Texas. The company instead will pursue a
bankruptcy sale to top lenders, including H/2 Capital Partners LLC, that would
hand them equity in exchange for their debt claims, Mr. Sussberg said.
"Our lenders are no longer going to be held hostage in negotiations," he said,
adding that Penney intended to negotiate and

Last Mile Robots (Just pick them up and run)
Amazon and FedEx Push to Put Delivery Robots on Your Sidewalk
The companies are
backing bills in more than a dozen states that would legalize the devices.
Some bills would block cities from regulating them at all.
 Amazon
and FedEx seeded and backed similar bills permitting delivery robots in more
than a dozen states this year.
At least six have become law.
Both Amazon and
FedEx
are developing delivery robots. FedEx's bot, which is called Roxo and looks like
a small refrigerator, has completed on-road tests in four cities. Scout, built
to deliver Prime packages, also is
testing in four cities. The companies present similar visions: A delivery
van full of robots would arrive in a neighborhood, and robots would travel the
"last mile" to customers' doorsteps without human aid.
The bots aren't quite there yet. In a
blog posted last month, Amazon said it is testing a small number of devices
during weekday daylight hours, for now with a person ("an Amazon Scout
Ambassador") present. FedEx CEO Fred Smith wrote in a
letter to shareholders this month that Roxo is preparing for a second round
of tests. "We'll
come out of this pandemic with a greater understanding of how FedEx can
benefit customers-and society-through these devices," he wrote.

6 Ways That Prescriptive Analytics Can Help Retailers and Grocers Ensure Policy
Compliance by Employees and Customers Alike
There are patterns that will
help monitor and enforce everything from COVID-19-specific social distancing and
quantity control measures to everyday age verification requirements.
 By Guy Yehiav, General Manager & VP, Zebra Analytics
A couple months ago I
shared some of the ways that retailers can optimize inventory performance in
periods of unexpected surge demand. However, keeping shelves stocked has not
been the only challenge to emerge amidst the COVID-19 outbreak.
Compliance has always been a huge priority for retail. The very nature of the
industry - low margins, high risk, high complexity - mandates setting protocols
and other rules at every level of the business. But, amid the uncertainty of the
current global climate, those protocols are now more important than ever.
Retailers must prioritize the implementation of measures that ensure store
compliance with local social distancing mandates, cleaning recommendations and
curfews.
When employees follow the regulations and rules you set for them, your business
is better poised to weather the impacts of COVID-19. When they don't, severe
problems can occur.
 You see, there's a key reason why compliance has traditionally been very
difficult to ensure. Employees sometimes (mistakenly) believe that a single act
of non-compliance (their own) is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
What that philosophy fails to take into account is that retailers fail by death
of a thousand cuts. In other words: yes, that one employee's act of
non-compliance may only have a small impact (unless of course that
non-compliance breaks a law, which could potentially result in tens of millions
of dollars' worth of fines). But that same, small act of non-compliance will amount
to huge losses if the employee continues it - or worse, if others do the same.
Of course, some might say that guaranteeing 100% compliance is impossible. That
all you can do is reinforce policies frequently and then hope that employees
understand the significant implications of even a single, small instance of
non-compliance - and that may be true. However, sometimes non-compliance is
purely accidental. For example, the store associate may have been distracted
helping customers and forgot to disinfect the bathroom at the designated time,
or the cashier was rushing to checkout a customer and didn't count the number of
restricted-quantity items in the cart. Alternatively, the manager may have
thought a task was low on the priority list because headquarters never told him
otherwise. In other words, it is completely possible to improve compliance if
you can see when non-compliance violations occur and prompt an immediate
investigation and resolution action. That's where
prescriptive analytics comes
in.
Read More Here on How Prescriptive Analytics Enables Retailers and Grocers
to See, Analyze and Act on Non-Compliance Issue to Improve Store Safety and
Shopper Confidence.

WSJ: Q2 Ransoms Up 60% Over Q1 - COVID Impact?
Ransomware Negotiators Gain Prominence as Attacks Increase
Deal makers attempt to scale down financial demands, arrange cryptocurrency
payments and help restore data
 While
some companies and cities refuse to pay and attempt to restore data from
backups, others find they have
little choice but to deal with their attackers.
Enter the negotiators, who attempt to scale down financial demands, arrange
tricky cryptocurrency payments and help with data restoration.
Experts say
there is no typical profile
for ransomware negotiators,
who may be technical specialists or former law enforcement officers who worked
on hostage or terrorist negotiations. Sometimes, they are talented communicators
with a knack for deal making. While some larger incident-response and cyber
insurance companies may have in-house negotiators, others use boutique firms
that have sprung up in recent years.
 Demand
for negotiators has skyrocketed
as ransoms, and the amounts paid by organizations, steadily increase. Coveware
Inc., a ransomware negotiator established in 2018, says the average ransom
payment in the second quarter of 2020 was $178,254.
That is up 60% compared with
the first quarter.
Professional negotiators have
also emerged due to the increasing sophistication of criminals,
many of whom lease their malware to amateurs looking to make fast money with
little technical expertise. Most established groups have infrastructure akin to
legitimate corporations.
The hackers behind the Satan ransomware variant that spread between 2017 and
2019, for instance, would customize malware for clients,
had specialists to assist with
selecting targets and maintained a customer support line, he said. In return for
these services, the hackers kept 30% of any ransom payments.
wsj.com
Editor's Note:
In the writer's opinion, COVID is absolutely impacting the 60% increase in
ransom demands and payments made. With the hackers knowing corporate is
stretched and stressed and cannot afford any more interruption, they are
sticking to their guns more. And corporate doesn't and can't have any patience
to play a waiting game or Russian Roulette for that matter with their data. With
speed being the motivator, corporate is paying quicker which is driving up the
ransoms. Once COVID is over, do the payments go down? Good question. Guess we'll
see. Personally, I don't think so. Just my thoughts -Gus Downing
The 'Evil Internet Minute'
Report shows $11.4M lost globally every minute to cybercrime
RiskIQ released its annual "Evil
Internet Minute"
report. The company analyzed the volume of malicious activity on the internet,
revealing that cybercrime costs organizations $24.7 per minute, a year-over-year
increase of more than $2 every minute. The research projects that it will have a
per-minute global cost of $11.4 million by 2021, a 100% increase over 2015.
The 2020 Evil Internet Minute covers the top threats facing today's
organizations, which are proliferating at a clip of 375 per minute, and reflects
the current surge in attacks leveraging the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other malicious activity covered in the 2020 Evil Internet Minute includes:
• 1.5
attacks on computers with an Internet connection per minute
• 375
new threats per minute
• 16,172

Balancing Surveillance & Employee Acceptability
in the Viral World
As Remote Work Continues, Companies Fret Over How to Monitor Employees' Data
Handling
Workers can record meetings, copy documents, or share corporate devices with
family members without employer consent.
Corporate cybersecurity leaders are concerned that it may be easier for
employees to expose data or create openings for hackers while working remotely
during the pandemic. But companies have limited capabilities to monitor certain
violations of data policies.
&uuid=(email))
Many companies anticipate a prolonged period of remote work or a combination of
office and remote work, and security chiefs are
starting to apply new
data policies and technologies to weed out bad behavior.
Another scenario: employees might take photographs of sensitive documents, he
said. "You have a risk
and you can't do anything about it,"
he said.
Employers worry that workers may be
more likely to ignore rules or take
shortcuts
when they work from home and lose touch with some reminders of
corporate policies.
"The potential [for] human error increases when you don't
have all your colleagues around you,"
Equifax
Inc. uses behavioral analytics software on employees' devices to understand
how they work and identify activity that seems abnormal, said Jamil Farshchi,
its chief information security officer.
The company's security team needed to adjust how it views normal behavior when
employees started to work from home and
adopt different work patterns. The
security team initially received
a higher volume of alerts about abnormal
activity, he said.
Security chiefs
must balance surveillance with what monitoring employees will
find acceptable, Mr. Oerting said.

Mid Year #1 Most Vulnerable Product - Windows 10
No Surprise There for All of Us Who Have It
Vulnerability reporting is returning to normal
Vulnerability
reporting, still impacted by
COVID-19, is
beginning to return to normal, Risk Based Security reveals.
 Out
of 11,121 vulnerabilities aggregated during the first half of 2020, 818 were the
result of the Vulnerability Fujiwhara Effect, a term that describes the events
when Microsoft and Oracle vulnerability disclosure schedules collide.
"Risk Based Security sounded the alarm back in January. We knew that these
events would undoubtedly become a significant strain for IT staff and
Vulnerability Managers," commented Brian Martin, Vice President of Vulnerability
Intelligence at
Risk Based Security.
"Compared to other
Patch Tuesdays this year, the highest reported 'only' 273 new
vulnerabilities. However, during April's Fujiwhara event we saw 506 new
vulnerabilities reported, 79% of which came from seven vendors.
"Unfortunately for all of us, this is likely we can expect to occur more
frequently in the future. The sheer volume makes one wonder who actually
benefits from this all-at-once disclosure of vulnerabilities. Certainly not the
paying customers."
Vendors and products
with the highest vulnerability counts
The report goes further into the details of the disclosure landscape by listing
and breaking down the vendors and products with the highest vulnerability
counts. Most notable is
Microsoft, which has seen a 150% increase in the amount
of vulnerabilities disclosed during the first six months of 2020 compared to the
entirety of 2019.
Windows 10 was the product with the most disclosed
vulnerabilities by the end of Q2.

Game Changer
Flying Beyond Operator's Line of Sight
Amazon Gets FAA Approval to Deliver Packages by Drone
The Federal Aviation Administration gave the e-commerce colossus approval to
make deliveries with drones that could drop off packages within 30 minutes after
they're placed, allowing the e-tailing giant to start conducting drone delivery
tests.
The FAA on Monday said it granted Amazon's Prime Air service an "air carrier
certificate" under its Part 135 regulations, which
allows the company to carry packages on drones that fly beyond the operator's
line of sight.
The approval marks a huge milestone for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' plans to dominate
online shopping in part by dramatically reducing delivery times.
Amazon said it plans to use the certification to start testing customer
deliveries with drones - though it concedes it may be some time before they're
hovering over shoppers' yards on a large scale.

The One Potential Holiday Disruptor
Will the late Prime Day sabotage or catapult holiday spending?
Amazon.com's Prime Day, which traditionally takes place in July, is expected
this year to land in October, possibly
jumpstarting or rivaling holiday campaigns.
Indeed, Prime Day may be more popular than key dates during the Christmas
selling season. Coresight Research's
weekly survey of U.S. consumers on the coronavirus fallout from August 12
found one-third expecting to buy on Prime Day, well above the one-quarter
expecting to buy on Cyber Monday and 16 percent on Black Friday.
Amazon's sales from the 48-hour Prime Day in July 2019 exceeded its Black Friday
and Cyber Monday events combined.
The week of October 5th is reportedly a "placeholder date," according to an
email sent to third-party sellers obtained by
CNBC.
Further COVID-19 outbreaks could push Prime Day into November which could
cannibalize holiday sales to a greater degree. Early fall would help Amazon
"spread out consumer buying" and also "lessen the impact on associates around
the holidays."

Cargo Theft
Dolton, IL: Two arrested in connection with cargo thefts at Illinois rest areas
Illinois State Police arrested Travis Burrows, 26, and Reginald Elston, 25, on
charges of possession of stolen goods on the morning of August 28. The arrests
came following a cargo theft investigation launched in November 2019 at Illinois
State Toll Highway Authority Oases truck lots. After receiving multiple calls
from truckers, ISP said that they "discovered a string of cargo thefts and
criminal activity [that] targeted semi-trailers and railroad yards along the
Tollway."
As the investigation continued, Illinois State Police issued a warning to
truckers in February 2020 about "a theft ring that has impacted the westbound
Three Rivers Rest Area on I-80 near Minooka for an extended period. It is now
impacting the eastbound rest area as well." After searching the home where the
arrests were made, authorities discovered stolen items from recent cargo theft
reports including coffee items and apparel. Police also recovered cannabis, a
handgun, five firearm magazines, and multiple calibers of ammunition.

In the 1980's, it was common practice when you resigned from a company to make
copies of your files and take them with you to a certain extent. Everyone knew
about it and it was almost accepted behavior. Today, it's quite different and
much more serious. So much more information is available to virtually everyone
that, one push of a key, and certainly a well-orchestrated effort can have
dramatic consequences and can bring criminal charges. In today's world,
intellectual property is a critical asset to every organization and it's the
responsibility of every executive to safeguard and maintain their company's
intellectual property integrity. Every organization, regardless of size, can be
impacted and quite frankly most have been.
Just a Thought,
Gus
