Burberry will stop burning unsold apparel
A widespread practice among luxury retailers
When the British luxury label Burberry said this summer that it had burned tens
of millions of dollars of unsold goods - an announcement that prompted fierce
criticism - the practice was justified as an effort to maintain its "brand
value."
On Thursday, the company said it would cease burning stock immediately. In
effect, it was once again seeking to preserve its brand.
The practice, which is widespread across the retail and consumer industry, is
often used as a safeguard to prevent unwanted items being stolen or sold at a
significant discount and in that way eroding the high-end price tags they can
command in stores.
Other luxury labels, including Richemont and Louis Vuitton, have been accused of
destroying unsold watches and handbags so they cannot be bought at reduced
prices. Even companies like Nike have faced allegations of deliberately damaging
unwanted stock.

Louis Vuitton, Prada Targeted by Fake Stores in Chinese Cities
Completely counterfeit stores are hardly novel phenomena in China. A wildly
elaborate fake Apple store in Beijing, complete with automated iPhone check-ins
and a faux Genius bar, was shut down by local authorities early this year, and
for years prior, imitations of Ikea stores and food chains like Subway existing
in China's biggest metropolises. What is relatively new is the spreading of
these fake outposts to the mainland's less densely populated cities in an
attempt to fill the void left by Western brands busy occupying China's bigger
cities.
As counterfeit sellers continue to increase the sophistication of their dealings
and the offerings, themselves, in the digital domain, these faux physical
outposts are simultaneously growing both in size and sophistication. "We
often find fake shops like these. However, the size, in this case, was
surprisingly big," the source told Inkstone. "They try to avoid a lawsuit by
slightly changing the name, but that's usually a hopeless strategy in court, so
they disappear if they're found."

Google and Mastercard Cut a Secret Ad Deal to
Track Retail Sales
Google found the perfect way to link online ads to store purchases: credit
card data
For the past year, select Google advertisers have had access to a potent new
tool to track whether the ads they ran online led to a sale at a physical store
in the U.S. That insight came thanks in part to a stockpile of Mastercard
transactions that Google paid for.
But the deal, which has not been previously reported, could raise broader
privacy concerns about how much consumer data technology companies like Google
quietly absorb.

Bernie Sanders introduces 'Stop BEZOS' bill
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday
introduced a bill that would tax corporations with more than 500
employees for the full amount employees receive in government assistance.
The bill's title, "Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies Act," or "Stop
BEZOS," is an open jab at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Sanders had previously criticized Amazon after a study found that some
fulfillment center employees relied on a federal food assistance program.
Sanders' criticism drew a heated
response from Amazon, which prompted another detailed critique from Sanders'
office, one that included
testimonials from Amazon employees about working conditions.

Whole Foods Workers Push to Unionize
Parent Amazon has resisted past unionization efforts at its businesses
Some Whole Foods employees want to unionize to address what they say are changes
to corporate culture and diminished compensation under the ownership of
Amazon.com Inc. A group of workers planned to send an email Thursday to workers
at most of the 490 Whole Foods stores urging them to back their unionization
drive. The workers said they want to push Whole Foods and Amazon for better
compensation, benefits and profit-sharing.
The unionization push presents a potentially high-profile challenge to Amazon,
which has opposed past organizing efforts by warehouse workers and other
employees that are less visible to customers than grocery-store clerks.

'Retail Apocalypse' Debunked - It's actually a
Retail Renaissance
According to new research from IHL Group, North American retailers will open
12,663 stores and close 8,828 stores in 2018, for a net increase of 3,835 store
locations. The report found that a handful of retailers - 16 companies -
represented 66% of the total number of store closings. For restaurants, 16
companies represented 74% of all net closings.
"We can't emphasize enough that the closings have been driven by a handful of
retailers, not the entire market," IHL stated.
IHL's
Retail's Radical Transformation/Real Opportunities report reviews 1,485
retail chains with 50 or more locations on net store openings and closings. It
found that while physical retail is thriving it is also changing drastically.
According to the research, grocery stores, drug stores, mass
merchants/supercenters, and convenience stores are adding a net 2,694 stores in
2018. The increase is on top of 3,115 net new stores in 2017.
But department stores, specialty softgoods (apparel, shoes), and specialty
hardgoods (DIY, electronics, sporting goods, books, furniture) are closing a net
682 stores in 2018. This follows 2,557 net closings in 2017.
"There has been a great deal of negative press about retail in the last two
years," said Greg Buzek, president of IHL Group. "Overall retail is very
healthy... But there are vast differences in retail segments with some
growing rapidly and others struggling."

The 15-Minute News Cycle
Firing for Online Behavior
The bombs people drop on social media can detonate right away or lurk like
hidden land mines. In some cases, someone is terminated from a current job for
recent problematic posts.
.png) When an employee posts something offensive, HR professionals are often on the
front line of protecting the employer's brand. Hiring managers also may be
expected to act as defenders of the company if a candidate's online posts have
the potential to reflect poorly on the organization's image.
Attorney Eric Meyer, who blogs about workplace issues, tracks news about
employees whose offensive social media comments cause them to lose their jobs.
He and other experts believe that this type of termination is becoming
increasingly common.
Adding pressure to HR's role is the ubiquity of social media and the speed at
which comments can erupt into full-blown crises. "Sometimes, it's not even a
24-hour news cycle anymore-it's a 15-minute one."
But doing nothing may not be a viable option when business leaders are subject
to intense pressure to terminate an employee who's behaving badly. Determining
how to respond is no easy task.

'Ghost' Employees May Be Haunting Your Workplace
People who create ghost employee accounts typically make up more than one fake
persona, according to Files. "All fraud begins small and grows over time, like a
weed in an untended garden," he said. "A thief looks to steal as much as [he or
she] can without being noticed. ... Fraud creates an appetite that cannot be
satiated."
Having a system of checks and balances is an important theft deterrent, said
Mason Wilder, certified fraud examiner and a research specialist at the
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in Austin, Texas. Prior to ACFE.
It's easier for ghost employees to exist when a business supports a workforce in
remote locations.
To protect themselves, the ACFE suggests employers pay attention to five
categories of red flags:
- Employee information anomalies. An employee's Social Security number (SSN) is
not listed, or multiple employees have the same SSN; an employee doesn't have
any deductions-for taxes or benefits-coming out of the paycheck; or there are
multiple address changes within a year or so.
- Payroll-register anomalies for direct deposits. - Multiple bank accounts for
one employee's paycheck. - Payroll-check anomalies. Multiple checks are issued
to an employee within one pay period
- Employee time-off trends. An employee hasn't taken any paid time off or
sick leave for an entire year, or the person processing payroll never takes
vacation.
Forced vacations or rotation of duties are an effective control, Wilder said.

New York Releases Model Anti-Harassment Training
Sexual-harassment prevention policy and training required by all NY employers
New York passed significant new sexual harassment laws earlier this year.
Among the new requirements, all employers in New York are required to adopt a
sexual-harassment prevention policy to be distributed in writing to employees
and conduct annual sexual-harassment training starting on Oct. 9. The
statute directed the New York State Department of
Labor and the New York State Division of Human Rights to develop both a model
sexual-harassment policy and model training program. Employers can then choose
whether to adopt the models prepared by the state or develop their own, as long
as their policies and training meet or exceed the standards contained in the
models.
shrm.org
On Aug. 23, the state released the following:
● A new
website with resources for employers and employees regarding combating
sexual harassment in the workplace.
● A
model sexual-harassment prevention policy, which is considered the "minimum
standard" requirement for employers to adopt as is or use as a basis to
establish their own, more robust policy.
● A
model sexual-harassment complaint form.
● A
model anti-harassment training.
●
FAQs on the materials.

California man pleads guilty to selling counterfeit
airbag covers on eBay
A California man who sold counterfeit airbag covers on eBay pleaded
guilty Tuesday in Portland and faces up to 10 years in prison in a scam
that a federal investigator said "could mean the difference between life
and death."
Pavel Ryzhenkov, 32, of Sacramento, California, sold the covers between
December 2015 and September 2017 after buying them from manufacturers in
China, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.

What's next for data breach legislation?
For Retailers Not This Year
A BREACH OVER DATA BREACH - Amid a years-long standoff between rival
industries and committees over federal data breach notification legislation, one
House panel is plotting a move to go it alone - at least in the short run.
Sometime this month, the House Financial Services panel might consider data
breach notification and security legislation that applies only to the banking
sector, a GOP committee aide told MC. The panel has been locked in an
impasse with the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction
over the retail industry. That panel has typically written legislation more
favorable to that sector; retailers have resisted proposals to make it adhere
to the same security requirements as the financial services industry. Now,
the Financial Services Committee wants to make some headway even if it has to do
it by itself, using a modified existing
draft bill written by Rep. Blaine Luetkeymeyer as a vehicle, the aide said.
The idea, the aide said, is to advance data security and notification
requirements for only financial institutions. Although the bill language isn't
finalized, it would first codify security requirements put in place after the
Gramm Leach Bliley financial services and consumer privacy law was enacted in
1999. Beyond that, the aide said, the idea is to provide preemption from state
law for those institutions that meet the requirements. That doesn't mean,
however, that all hope is lost for a complete measure. "We're not backing
away," the aide said. "The panel's also aware there's not much time left in the
year to get something enacted. But, absent a deal, committee leadership and
individual members want to "advance some sort of marker."

GDPR Spurs Interest in Insider Threat Prevention
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation, which has tough breach notification
requirements, is spurring global interest in technologies to help prevent
insider breaches, says Tony Pepper of Egress Software Technologies.
In an interview at Information Security Media Group's recent
New York Security Summit, Pepper discusses:
● Why data breach prevention has become a boardroom issue;
● Real-time breach detection advances;
● Using machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect insider
anomalies.

A risk-based approach to security outsourcing
All security controls can be outsourced. In fact, many organizations do exactly
this, outsourcing the
security operations centre (SOC) and all its preventative and detective
controls to security management companies. Or, they outsource antivirus and
anti-malware, or intrusion detection and response.
Build a risk register
A useful approach to begin with is to build a risk register, because managing
controls that do not align to a risk your business faces is ultimately
counterproductive. Even the smallest of SMEs should have a risk register, and
there are enough templates online to give you a starter for 10. These should
range all the way from minor glitches to major incidents that could destroy the
company.
You should also be looking at data leakage prevention services, as fines under
the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are much bigger than they were
under the Data Protection Act 1998. Can you manage this in-house?
Define security metrics
The large corporations I have worked with have often had hundreds of metrics
defined for security, and the outsourcing of a service just required that these
metrics were provided by the third party, along with some additional ones
indicating the third party's security status. That is obviously going to be
difficult for an SME, so an appropriate approach is to look at the metrics
available. One should consider, are they:
Configurable - you should be able to define alerting thresholds;
Automatable - to ensure they are provided to you predictably and regularly;
Relevant - they support the security of your organization;
Actionable - if you or the third party cannot do anything about a particular
metric, it may not be useful;
Timely - it is much less helpful to learn about an intrusion that happened last
year.

Inside Twitter's Long, Slow Struggle to
Police Bad Actors
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has personally weighed in on high-profile
decisions, frustrating some employees
When Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Jack Dorsey
testifies before Congress this week, he'll likely be asked about an
issue that has been hovering over the company: Just who decides whether a
user gets kicked off the site?
In policing content on the site and punishing bad actors, Twitter relies
primarily on its users to report abuses and has a consistent set of policies
so that decisions aren't made by just one person, its executives say.
In a hearing Wednesday morning before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr.
Dorsey will appear alongside Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl
Sandberg to discuss how foreign actors can use the social-media platforms to
spread misinformation and propaganda. Later in the day, the House Commerce
Committee will question Mr. Dorsey individually in a Republican-led look at
how Twitter treats conservative voices.
Twitter and rival Facebook are increasingly caught in a Catch-22
situation-criticized by some users for allowing hateful posts, but blasted
by others for removing content because it curtails free speech.
Twitter has taken a different approach than Facebook, which has hired
thousands of content reviewers in the last couple of years to review posts
and built out technology to flag inappropriate content. Twitter has far less
staff and typically only investigates harassment and abuse that has been
reported by users.
In the coming weeks, the company plans to start showing users a picture of a
tombstone in the place of a tweet that has been taken down as a way to
signal that a user has violated a company policy, rather than a notice
saying the tweet is unavailable. That step, which hasn't been reported, is
among a number of policy changes Twitter plans to make in the coming weeks,
according to people familiar with the matter.

China's new e-commerce law positive for IP
protection, say lawyers
China's
new e-commerce legislation is a positive development in the country's fight
against IP violations and counterfeit distribution, according to lawyers. Under
the legislation, e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and Pinduoduo will be
jointly responsible for counterfeit goods sold by third parties on their sites.
The e-commerce platforms must also establish rules to protect IP rights, and
failure to act quickly when a violation is reported can lead to a fine of up to
RMB2 million ($293,130) in serious circumstances.

prompts Georgia Gwinnett College to go on Lockdown

Nicknamed 'Sticky Fingers' and the 'Boy in the Bubble', police say the suspects
pulled off a daring early morning armed robbery at a corner check cashing store
that netted them at least $50,000 in cash. The teenage armed bandits were caught
on surveillance cameras as they walked in the Baltimore Pike check cashing store

announced a robbery. One guarded the front self-locking doors while the other
headed straight for the safe in the back.

during robbery
 Police
said Venus Brown and Carolyn Clark went into the TJ Maxx store Tuesday night.
Brown allegedly cut the security tag off a purse, while Clark allegedly stood in
front of her to try and conceal what she was doing. When the women tried to
leave the store, the loss prevention officer confronted them at the door.
According to police, Brown then extended her arm and began choking the officer
while pushing her out the front door. She also threatened to cut the officer
with the same clippers she had used to cut the security tag off the purse.
Police said the women drove off, and officers caught up with them about 2 miles
away and arrested them. Brown has a lengthy list of felony convictions dating
back to the 1990s, and many of them are for theft from retailers. Clark also has
multiple felony convictions.

Perth, Australia: Security loophole sees 'Eftpos
bandits' steal nearly $200,000
 A
group of alleged Electronic Funds Transfer POS, 'Eftpos' bandits are taking
advantage of a security loophole in the machines to rip off shops for thousands
of dollars with stolen credit cards. At a Camera House in Perth, two women were
seen attempting to buy two cameras worth $15,000. Security footage appears to
show one of the women checking her phone before slotting a card into the Eftpos
machine. She is allegedly stealing the entire purchase from right under the
retailer's nose.
"She got her own credit card, she put it into the terminal, but didn't push it
all the way through, so it didn't register," shop owner Liddio said. "She
cancelled our transaction and went in manually and typed in a stolen credit card
number." Across town, the group visited another camera shop, buying three
cameras worth $21,000. "The camera stores were roughly $60,000-$70,000, and then
from I what I hear from other retail stores and petrol stations it could
potentially be upwards of $150,000-$200,000," Liddio said.

Be a Better Leader: The 4

Perception becomes reality slowly on a macro level and it's
difficult to change it if it's incorrect or doesn't portray the truth. It's the
same reason law enforcement separates witnesses to ensure clarity and truth. The
group mind becomes influenced by opinion and agendas and distorts the true
reality. One can only rely on daily vigilance based on doing what's right to
hopefully impact the individuals one works with on a daily basis to carry the
experience forward and be witness to what is right.
