 The
Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association (RLPSA) announces the
release of its "Strategies
for Dealing with Disruptive Guests Survey Results," which surveyed
different types of restaurants to understand what types of strategies are being
implemented for dealing with this critical issue.
The goal of this survey was to begin defining what constitutes a "disruptive
guest" and to determine which de-escalation methods are the most successful. RLPSA's mission is to provide all types of restaurants with valuable resources
to help keep their employees and customers safe.
RLPSA is also releasing a
video series designed to help its members address various safety
concerns such as robberies, distracted driving, and safe delivery practices.
Each video module is only a few minutes long but contains key insights from
multiple restaurant formats, brands, and perspectives.

Theft is a major risk for retailers using scan-and-go, expert says
But companies can mitigate that risk with additional layers of protection,
including security cameras, customer notices and enhanced employee training.
Customers may be drawn to the autonomy and time savings scan-and-go checkout
promises, but distractions ranging from rambunctious kids to in-store signage
increase the chance they'll forget to scan products and walk out of the store
with free merchandise - potentially costing grocers in the end, according to
Adrian Beck, emeritus professor of criminology at the University of Leicester in
the U.K.
Retailers and tech companies employ various safeguards, including front-end
audits, but these all too often fail to flag un-scanned items, said Beck, who
has researched loss prevention for self-checkout and scan-and-go programs.
In an analysis published last year of more than 140 million scan-and-go
transactions across 13 major retailers in the U.S. and the U.K., Beck found
added product loss of as much as 10 basis points for every 1% of sales. That
means if a store did 10% of their sales through scan-and-go, product loss could
go up an additional 1%. grocerydive.com
Boards and Execs Do Not See Risk the Same Way
The Institute of Internal Auditors released a report in which they examined
corporate risk management:
OnRisk 2020: A Guide to Understanding, Aligning, and Optimizing Risk.
The report is based on a survey of internal audit managers and qualitative
interviews of corporate board members and executives. Three of the report's
seven key findings in the report:
● Boards are overconfident. Boards consistently view the organization's
capability to manage risks higher than executive management, evidence of a
critical misalignment.
● Boards generally perceive high levels of maturity in risk management
practices. Board members' perceptions of risk knowledge and capability place
them ahead of executive management relative to risk maturity, therefore making
them more likely to believe those risks are better managed.
● Talent Management (and retention) are at the center of future concerns.
Respondents recognize the importance of good talent and how people drive the
success of a business - particularly when it comes to data and IT skills.
The full report, available as free download, goes into more detail on each of
these areas and four other risk management findings.
For additional reading, see ASIS International's new
Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) Guideline (free online for
ASIS members) released last month.

Minority workers in retail and fast food have more erratic hours
than white workers, report finds
But new research finds hourly workers of color in the industries have more
unpredictable hours and last-minute schedules than their white colleagues.
 Minority workers, particularly women of color, are "exposed to the most unstable
and unpredictable work scheduling practices," according to a report published
Wednesday by sociologists at The Shift Project at the University of California.
"This is not desirable schedule flexibility, but rather unpredictability and
instability imposed by employers."
Minority workers in the retail and food service industries are 10% to 20% more
likely than white workers to report canceled shifts, on-call shifts and "clopenings"
-- shifts separated by fewer than 11 hours, the researchers found. The Shift
Project, which studies scheduling practices, surveyed 30,000 employees at 120 of
the largest retail and food-service firms for its report.

Walmart to shell out $5.2M for failing to accommodate worker with disability
A jury awarded a Walmart cart pusher $5.2 million after the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued his employer for disability
discrimination,
the agency announced.
The employee - who has a developmental disability and a visual impairment in
addition to being deaf - worked for a Beloit, Wisconsin, Walmart for 16 years
before a new manager took over the store. Upon his arrival, the manager
suspended the worker and requested the employee resubmit his medical paperwork
to keep his reasonable accommodation, which was to work alongside a
public-funded job coach. Despite meeting the manager's request, the store
stopped communicating with the worker and "effectively terminated him," EEOC
said.
A spokesman for Walmart
told the Beloit Daily News it believes the jury award was unlawfully
excessive and stated the company tried to work with the employee for several
years, but the new manager worried for his safety. The spokesman said the
company will weigh its post-trial options.

One Simple Tip that Will Enhance Productivity & Possibly Avert Workplace
Violence
THE SOLUTION: Does your organization have a
written policy requiring legal process to be served outside of the workplace?
On February 25, 2016, Cedric R. Ford was served with a domestic violence
restraining order on behalf of his estranged intimate partner while at work at
Excel Industries in Kansas. Later an enraged Ford shot three co-workers to death
and also wounded 14 other people. Ford was shot and killed by law enforcement,
putting an end to the carnage.
What role the restraining order played in triggering the massacre will never be
fully known. What is known however that that Ford began shooting 90 minutes
after being served at work.

Homeland Security launching crackdown on counterfeit contacts, makeup
in time for Halloween
Two weeks ahead of Halloween, Homeland Security Investigations is conducting a
major crackdown on some items used for dressing up on the ghoulish holiday that
may be dangerous counterfeit items. A major safety threat is fake contact
lenses. Special Agent in Charge Tim Meadows said the contact lenses are often
made in China and contain bacteria and can be contaminated with lead and other
toxins. The agency is also targeting the makeup and cosmetics that are sold to
accent costumes.
With the Christmas season approaching, HSI is concentrating on taking
counterfeit goods off the streets. Agents have confiscated about 100 items from
fake designer purses to apparel in the Jackson, Mississippi metro area. Vendors
who sell fake items can be charged with trafficking counterfeit goods and
trademark piracy. They can face a 10 year federal prison sentence for each count
if convicted.

New Jobs in Retail - It's a Security Job Boom
Cannabis Business Association of Illinois Hosted Chicago Job Fair
With recreational marijuana sales set to begin Jan. 1 in Illinois, the
nascent industry is readying for what's predicted to be strong consumer demand.
The job fair took place the same day that
Chicago's first recreational marijuana store was approved by the state and a
Chicago alderman moved to delay product sales in the city until July 1.
 Some 5,800 people already work in the industry in Illinois and within a year,
employment could swell to more than 13,500 jobs in Illinois alone.
"We are always looking for people with retail experience," said Don Williams, MedMen's Midwest regional director of government affairs.
"We are looking to add 50 to 60 retail associates at our locations to help with
the rush of customers who come in asking questions about the right marijuana
product for them."
MedMen's budtender jobs pay $16 to $17 an hour, with full benefits and stock
options for full-time employees, Williams said. Employees also receive
discounts on various cannabis products, he said.
Standing by one table was Larry Doria, president and CEO of P4 Security
Solutions, a Harwood Heights-based security firm for the cannabis industry.
Doria said security will be a major component for companies as they try
to get their license applications approved, and P4′s presence in the cannabis
industry has grown.
"Security is important," Doria said. "We offer entry-level jobs starting
at $15 an hour working at dispensaries. It's a great opportunity that opens the
door to other jobs (in the cannabis industry)."

Discount & Convenience Stores Fastest Growing Offline Retail Channels
Next Five Years
Non-food discount, food discount and convenience stores are all projected for
annual growth rates above 5%. Discount grocery stores, in particular, are
projected to continue gaining overall share, increasing to 9.7% of food sales in
2024, from 8.8% in 2019 and 7.4% in 2014. Convenience stores are also proving
relatively resistant to share loss from online retailers, with only a 0.2%
loss in share from 2013-2018.

Honest Jobs Website Posts "Felon-Friendly Employers"
How to Help People with Criminal Histories Break Employment Barriers
Blakeman, a felon himself, decided to leave Owens Corning, and using money from
his 401(k), last November he launched
Honest Jobs, a website that
posts job openings from "felon-friendly employers" around the country who will
consider hiring candidates with criminal convictions. The business is based in
Columbus, Ohio. Blakeman also authored a guide called Grit: How to Get a Job
and Build a Career with a Criminal Record.
Honest Jobs is free to view, and employers can post up to three jobs for no
charge. Blakeman charges a monthly fee for additional job listings, determined
by the amount of ads placed. He says that paid ads get better results. Since the
site started, Blakeman estimates about 50 people have gotten jobs through his
service and he now has three employees, two of whom have criminal records. For
marketing, his team reaches out to probation offices and workforce development
groups, and he pays for digital marketing on social media.
In February, Honest Jobs received $100,000 from an angel investor, and Blakeman
hopes to raise $3 million in capital, which he would use for software
development and hiring more employees. Blakeman, or one of his employees, speaks
with every business before an ad posts, and in the next version of the site's
software they plan to add a function that lets employers select website language
describing what types of felony convictions would and not prevent a candidate
from being considered for the job.

RH-ISAC Hosts First Sector-Wide Tabletop Exercise
RH-ISAC members came together to challenge incident response skills
in sector-wide cybersecurity exercise
The Retail & Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC)
hosted its first-ever sector-wide Securing Retail Alliance (SRA) tabletop
exercise on September 23, 2019 in Denver, CO, preceding the 2019 Retail Cyber
Intelligence Summit.
The SRA is a community within RH-ISAC that fosters a collaborative forum to
share best practices on how resource-strapped teams can maximize resources -
including those provided by the RH-ISAC - to strengthen their defenses and be
better able to communicate their position and future needs with internal
stakeholders.
 "I am thrilled to have helped put together this tabletop exercise. With more
than 45 participants from 24 member companies, this tabletop was a huge
success," said Carlos Kizzee, vice president of intelligence at RH-ISAC. He
added, "The best part was how participants used the ISAC as they should. We had
multiple channels of communication replicating the RH-ISAC operating environment
available during the event and participants were on it sharing intel. It was
great to see how being a member of an ISAC can assist in these emergency
situations."
The tabletop exercise, sponsored by Castle, included security analysts, CISOs,
engineers and security managers that formed seven teams with four to six
different member companies on each team. More than 40 injects were given
throughout the three-hour exercise.
Attendees experienced first-hand how the
industry responds to an incident and left the exercise with best practice
improvements to incorporate into their incident response plans.

Major Carding Forum BriansClub Suffers Data Breach
One of the web's largest marketplaces for stolen card data has been hacked,
leading to the theft the second time over of more than 26 million cards.
A source shared the news with security researcher Brian Krebs, whose name and
likeness have been used for years by the administrators of the online BriansClub
store.
It is claimed that the trove includes credit and debit card details stolen from
bricks-and-mortar retailers from the past four years, including eight million
uploaded so far in 2019.
In fact,
Krebs calculated that with cardholder losses estimated at $500 per card,
BriansClub could have generated as much as $4 billion in losses from the
roughly nine million cards it has sold to fraudsters since 2015.

Fake mobile app fraud tripled in first half of 2019
In Q2 2019, RSA Security identified 57,406 total fraud attacks worldwide. Of
these,
phishing attacks were the most prevalent (37%), followed by fake mobile
apps (usually apps posing as those of popular brands).
But while phishing went up by just 6 percent when the numbers from 1H 2019 are
compared to those from 2H 2018, attacks via financial malware and rogue mobile
apps have increased significantly (80 and 191 percent, respectively).
"The fact that fraud via fake mobile applications tripled in the first half of
2019 is testament to how perpetrators will constantly seek out weak points.
Here, they are exploiting consumers' growing trust in mobile apps as a means to
interact with brands and make purchases," Daniel Cohen, Director of the Fraud
and Risk Intelligence Unit at RSA Security, noted.

Cost of Ransomware Related Downtime Increased More Than 200 Percent
A new Datto Global survey uncovers the business impact and increasing frequency
of ransomware attacks.
While it is used against businesses of all sizes, SMBs have become a prime
target for attackers of ransomware. The 2019 Global State of the Channel
Ransomware Report uncovered a number of ransomware trends specifically impacting
the SMB market:
● Ransomware attacks are pervasive. The number of ransomware attacks against SMBs
is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of MSPs reported attacks against SMBs over
the last two years, compared to 79 percent of MSPs who reported the same in
2018. In the first half of 2019 alone, 56 percent of MSPs reported attacks
against SMB clients.
● A disconnect exists on the significance of ransomware as a threat. Eighty-nine
percent of MSPs report that SMBs should be very concerned about the threat of
ransomware. However, only 28% of MSPs report SMBs are very concerned about the
threat.
● The cost of ransomware is significant. Sixty-four percent of MSPs report
experiencing a loss of business productivity for their SMB clients while 45
percent report business-threatening downtime. The average cost of that downtime
is $141,000, a more than 200-percent increase over last year's average downtime
cost of $46,800. The report also uncovered that the cost of downtime is now
23-times greater than the average ransom request of $5,900.
● Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions have continued to
prove to be the most effective in lessening the impact of a ransomware attack,
the report says. Ninety-two percent of MSPs report that their clients with BCDR
solutions in place are less likely to experience significant downtime during an
attack.

Amazon claims apparel industry group is undermining its fight
against counterfeit products
Amazon responded Tuesday to the
American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) with claims of its own
after the industry trade group asked the U.S. Trade Representative to designate
several of the tech giant's international online stores as "notorious markets"
for counterfeit goods.
In a
four-page letter to Daniel Lee, acting assistant U.S. trade representative
for innovation and intellectual property, Amazon detailed its efforts to fight
counterfeit products through a variety of initiatives designed to register and
authenticate products, and said it was blindsided by some of the AAFA's
claims despite holding monthly meetings with members of the trade group.
The company claimed that some members of the group are themselves hindering the
fight against counterfeits.
"Contrary to the suggestion in AAFA's submission, these efforts are working, as
over 99.9% of the products that customers actually view in Amazon's stores
never have received a complaint about a suspected counterfeit from a
customer or rights owner," wrote Brian Huseman, Amazon's vice president of
public policy, in the response. "Amazon solicits constructive feedback from
brands and associations as to how it can continue to improve those tools, make
the process easier for brands, and more effectively fight counterfeiters."
He added, "However, when brands refuse to use the tools that Amazon makes
available to them, offer only anonymous criticism that is directly refuted by
available data, or conflate concerns about counterfeits with questions like the
'unauthorized' distribution of authentic products, the shared goal of
combatting counterfeiting is undermined rather than enhanced."

Amazon's Marketplace Is Adding 3,300 New Sellers a Day
- But Many Don't Stick Around
Amazon's third-party marketplace is vast and growing by the day. According to a
new report from Marketplace Pulse, an e-commerce analytics company, there are
about 2.8 million active sellers currently doing business on the platform - a
number that exceeds the population of Chicago.
Because of Amazon's relatively open process for registering new sellers, scores
of others have also joined and later been suspended, stopped selling items or
never listed anything to begin with: Per the report, Amazon has added an
estimated 3.3 million new sellers since Jan. 1, 2017, which comes out to more
than 3,300 per day. Of that number, though, only 60% are currently active.
"Often sellers become active for a day, a week, or month, but then stop,"
Marketplace Pulse Founder and CEO Juozas Kaziukėnas told FN. "This is because
Amazon often requires additional documentation (ID, bank statements, business
license etc.) after starting selling, which they fail to produce. Or they get
suspended by Amazon because of bad behavior, so they keep creating new seller
accounts."
Opening multiple accounts without permission is prohibited under Amazon's
terms - a step the company has taken to fend off counterfeiters and other bad
actors - so if these sellers are flagged, their new account would likely be
suspended, too. It's common for marketplaces to see sellers sign up and fail to
become active or abandon their accounts soon after joining, Kaziukėnas said.

 Goodlettsville, TN: Kay Jewelers associate arrested for theft of $50K in

 Shanghai, China: Police bust $28M Fisher Price children's product counterfeit
operation
A total of 22 suspects have been apprehended for allegedly producing fake
infant and toddler products using the Fisher-Price brand name, Shanghai police
said on Thursday. The suspects allegedly produced the fake goods at an
industrial park in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and sold them to shops in
Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. The products were then sold through shops and over
the Internet to domestic consumers and also to buyers in Southeast Asia, police
said.
By the time their operation was busted, the gang had sold a huge volume of fake
products, whose authentic counterparts were estimated to be worth about $28
million, USD. Police said they started their investigation after the US
company Mattel, which owns the Fisher-Price brand, reported to them in July that
a large number of fake products were circulating in the market.

Education is a broad term usually defined by an individual as a singular
focus with an end result that oftentimes stagnates the brain and limits
horizons. Reaching milestones is incredibly important, but keeping your
curiosity and wonderment is the key to reaching beyond. No singular degree or
certification will bring you the success - it merely opens the door to more
learning and the realization that if you don't know something, you go find
someone who does and learn it from them.
Just a Thought,
Gus
