The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
'Shoplifters Gone Wild'
Why People Think It's Okay to Steal
"They pop the locks; they melt the glass;
they take the keys out of employees' hands."
By
definition, most shoplifting is petty plunder-candy bars, baby formula,
lipstick. But the small stuff adds up, as demonstrated by viral videos
showing shelves of deodorant or cold medicine swiped into Hefty bags by thieves
who can't even be bothered to run away. Some people contend that all of the
noise about shoplifting reflects mainly a race-tinged social panic, but the
retail industry is not locking up its goods, annoying its customers, and closing
stores because of a few viral videos. Companies are doing it because they're
seeing their goods walk out the door, costing them billions.
Big corporate retailers, mom-and-pop shops, cops, prosecutors, and lawmakers
have tried everything to stop the thefts: get tough, be
gentle, invest in new surveillance technology, turn pharmacies into fortresses.
Nothing seems to work. At my Target in Washington, D.C., I counted 21 aisles of
goods locked behind plastic, including toothpaste, body wash, underwear, earbuds,
and air fresheners-all items that impulse thieves and organized criminals alike
find desirable and easiest to resell, on the street or, more often these days,
online.
Whereas many on the right see the rise in shoplifting as proof of a
nationwide moral collapse, many on the left deny that it's even happening or
that it is a meaningful problem. Shoplifting is one of the hardest crimes to
measure, because only a tiny proportion of cases are ever reported to police.
Thefts aren't increasing in every city-in some, reported thefts have gone
down-and viral videos of shoplifters-gone-wild don't necessarily add up to a
crime wave. But merchandise is disappearing off shelves at such high rates that
stores have resorted to extreme measures to defend themselves-even at the risk
of alienating paying customers. The surge, retailers and industry experts say,
is real.
theatlantic.com
Some businesses try to look tough by dressing the guards in black tactical
gear or equipping them with a German shepherd or a handgun, but "you're
mainly intimidating your customers," he said. "If I pull up in the parking lot
and see that, I'm pulling out."
Hardening the target-creating what the industry calls the "fortress
store"-doesn't work either. Adding physical barriers and locking away
products "not only deters shoplifters; it deters legitimate customers,"
Mershimer said. Ditto for limiting the amount of stock placed on display: A
mostly empty shelf is more of a turnoff to real customers than to thieves.
Some stores have started locking their front doors, buzzing in only people
who look like paying customers. But what does a paying customer look like?
Door buzzers are invitations for a discrimination lawsuit.
Violent Crime Actually Rose 4.5%, FBI Revision
Shows
FBI revised 2022 crime data to show violent offenses rose rather than dropped
The FBI quietly adjusted its figures for 2022 in recent weeks - and the
new numbers show that offenses actually ticked up overall. The apparent stealth
edit to the bureau's statistics, first reported by RealClearInvestigations,
shows that the raw number of violent crime incidents - including murders,
assaults and rapes - rose to 1,256,671 in 2022 from 1,197,930 in 2021, an
increase of 4.9%.
In October of 2023, the FBI put out a press release unveiling its national crime
data for 2022, which found that "national violent crime decreased an
estimated 1.7% in 2022 compared to 2021 estimates." Initially, the bureau
projected that the violent crime rate relative to the US population had slipped
by 2.1% in 2022 compared to 2021.
But the FBI's adjustment now suggests that the rate of
violent crime actually jumped by about 4.5% over the same period. The
upward revision went unmentioned in the bureau's annual crime figures press
release from September of this year, which announced that violent crime dropped
by roughly 3% year-over-year in 2023.
The Crime Prevention Research Center first identified the FBI's subtle fix,
citing a spreadsheet breaking down the original data. In 2021, the bureau
appears to have concluded it overcounted violent crime incidents by 55,786
and undercounted them in 2022 by 24,243.

Progressives Oppose Prop. 36
CA's Prop. 36 won't address retail theft, drug addiction or homelessness:
Opinion
Proponents of Proposition 36 call it the "Homelessness, Drug Addiction and
Theft Reduction Act," yet it will create no new homes, no shelters and no
treatment programs. It should have been called the "More Money for Prisons,
Less Money for Schools and Drug Treatment Act."
That's because the proposition, if enacted this November, will send people
with drug problems to prison or jail rather than treatment, increasing jail and
prison costs by hundreds of millions of dollars a year at a time when the
state already has a significant budget deficit.
The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office estimates that Prop. 36 will strip
about $100 million annually from substance abuse treatment and reentry programs.
And because the measure includes no new revenue or mechanisms to pay for these
added costs, it will likely force California to slash funding for our schools,
health care and other vital programs.

Is crime going up or down in New Jersey? The answer is complicated
Harris says violent crime is down. Trump says it's up. Here's a fact check.
'The Current Pharmacy Model is Not
Sustainable'
Why your drug store is closing
CVS is closing 900 stores. Rite-Aid is
closing 500. Walgreens announced Tuesday it plans to close 1,200 stores,
meaning 1 in 7 will disappear. What is going on with America's drug
stores?
Walgreens
and other chains overexpanded during the 1990s and 2000s to drive
out competitors and draw more customers. They are now shutting down
because of shifting consumer habits, competition and changes in the
pharmacy industry.
Around 25% of Walgreens' stores aren't profitable, CEO Tim
Wentworth said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in June, and
the chain will look to close stores that are right by one another or
struggling to hold down theft.
Walgreens and other retailers say they have been hit by shoplifting
since the pandemic, and resorted to locking up items or closing
high-theft stores. But shoplifting alone
doesn't explain Walgreens' problems, and the company subsequently
admitted last year it "cried too much" over the impact of the
would-be scourge. Meanwhile, increased competition and failed growth
strategies, like acquiring primary care providers, continue to have
reverberating impacts on drug stores.
"We are at a point where the current pharmacy model is not
sustainable," Wentworth said in June.
CVS, the largest US chain, closed 244 stores between 2018 and 2020. In
2021, it announced plans to close an additional 900 stores. Earlier this
month, CVS said it planned to cut about 2,900 jobs corporate jobs.
And Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy last year, closing up to 500 stores.

Consumer Outlook Healthy & Supply
Chain Stable
Holiday shopping season: An early look at how retail stores and
e-commerce are getting ready for the rush
The consumer outlook is similar to
last year & the supply chain is looking more stable.
The consumer continues to look healthy and the supply chain has
regained stability as the holiday shopping season begins.
That's according to DHL Supply Chain's new CEO for North America,
Patrick Kelleher, who told CNBC the shipping company is seeing more
promotional items make their way out of warehouses and to retailers,
but not in a signal of increased consumer weakness compared to the prior
year.
"Across the board, we are seeing volumes very similar to what we've
seen in past years, especially last year," said Kelleher.
Freight is considered a forward-looking indicator of a retailer's
expectations of the consumer, and Kelleher said more promotional
items have left or are leaving warehouses and filling store shelves, but
he added, "I think it's very consistent from what we've seen in past
years in terms of the combination of retailers' engagement of
promotional strategies around particular product categories,
sell-through of their core offerings. We don't see a big shift there."

Election Day's
Business Impact
Companies are talking about how Election Day will impact them, from
slowing beer sales to people flying less
The US presidential election is just under three weeks away, and
companies from Citigroup to Delta are flagging how it might affect their
businesses. CEOs and other business leaders have weighed in on
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and the effects that each candidate
would have on their companies if elected.
But they're also pointing to the effects that Election Day, November 5,
will likely have on their businesses - everything from drinkers
buying less to companies issuing debt sooner. Constellation Brands,
which makes Corona and Modelo, often sees beer consumption slow down
around contentious US elections, CEO William Newlands said during an
earnings call on October 3.
Delta Air Lines expects a 1 percentage point hit to its revenue
this quarter as people avoid traveling in the two weeks around Election
Day, Glen Hauenstein, Delta's president, said on Thursday. Delta saw
something similar happen after the 2016 election, Hauenstein said at the
time.
Differences between Harris and Trump on taxes, tariffs, and other issues
could lead to very different outcomes for Wall Street depending on
who wins the presidential election.

Protos Security Whitepaper
Leveraging Law Enforcement
& Security Measures to Combat ORC
Organized
retail crime (ORC) poses a significant challenge to law enforcement and society
as a whole. While it is well known that financial losses, public safety
concerns, and broader societal impacts are all part of these issues, it is
challenging to find a solution as crime rates continue to rise. The purpose of
this whitepaper is to explore the role of law enforcement in combating organized
retail crime. Retailers and consumers alike are negatively affected, which
results in billions of dollars in losses each year. In order to effectively
address this issue, law enforcement must work collaboratively with retailers and
other stakeholders.
We present strategies and recommendations to enhance the fight against ORC,
contributing to the protection of businesses and the safety of communities. A
number of challenges associated with ORC are outlined, as well as strategies and
best practices that retailers should follow to collaborate effectively with law
enforcement and other stakeholders. The whitepaper also discusses solutions and
strategies to combat this growing problem.

Ransomware Attacks Surge Against
Microsoft Customers
Microsoft reveals ransomware attacks against its customers nearly tripled last
year
Despite the increase, the percentage of
cyberattacks reaching the encryption stage continued to decline, according to a
Microsoft study.
Microsoft customers confronted nearly triple the amount of ransomware attacks
during the one-year period ending in June, the company said Tuesday in its
Digital Defense Report.
Microsoft observed a 275% year-over-year increase in
human-operated ransomware attacks between July 2023 and June 2024.
This increase in ransomware attacks was partially offset by a sustained decrease
in cyberattacks reaching the encryption stage, the report found.
"The percentage of attacks reaching actual encryption phase has decreased
over the past two years by threefold," Microsoft said in the report.
"Automatic attack disruption contributed to this positive trend in decreasing
successful attacks."
While data and systems encryption is a traditional defining characteristic of
ransomware attacks, many financially motivated attackers skip the step of
encryption and steal sensitive data for extortion.
One of the most consequential ransomware attack sprees this year to date did not
involve encryption. In April, a ransomware group compromised the Snowflake
environments of more than 100 companies in a wave of attacks, resulting in
widespread data theft, exposure and extortion, according to Mandiant.

'The Evolution of Attack Surface Management'
CISOs' strategies for managing a growing attack surface
In this Help Net Security interview, Rickard Carlsson, CEO at
Detectify, discusses the
evolution of attack surface management in the context of remote work and
digital transformation.
Carlsson
highlights the challenges CISOs face today, including maintaining visibility and
managing compliance in an expanding attack surface, all while dealing with
limited resources and rising business demands.
With the shift towards remote work and digital
transformation, how has the traditional concept of attack surface management
evolved? What are the biggest challenges CISOs face today compared to a few
years ago?
Organizations should start forgetting about the old perimeter-based approach to
security. There is virtually no difference between office work and remote
work anymore. There is no inside and outside, just outside. What is to be
secured now is a growing, dynamic, and sprawling mess of endpoints, cloud
services, and third-party applications that form an external attack surface.
It is no wonder that CISOs face many challenges today related to attack
surface expansion. They are constantly battling to maintain visibility, keep
up with modern (and quickly evolving) tech changes, new attack vectors, and stay
on top of a growing compliance and regulatory wave (like NIS2, DORA, or the
Cyber Resilience Act in Europe). Plus, they need to do it all with limited
resources and increasing pressure to bring business value.

Defenders must adapt to shrinking exploitation timelines
A new report from Mandiant reveals that the average time-to-exploit
vulnerabilities before or after a patch is released has plunged to just five
days in 2023, down from 32 days in 2021 in 2022.
One reason for this is the fact that, in 2023, exploitation of zero-day
vulnerabilities (unknown to vendors, with no patches available) considerably
outpaced the exploitation of n-day flaws (publicly disclosed bugs, with patches
available). Another is that n-day exploitation continues to occur more quickly
after disclosure.
Mandiant's analysts have analyzed 138 vulnerabilities disclosed in 2023 that
have been first exploited either as zero-days (97, or 70%) or as n-days (41, or
30%).
Zero-days are being increasingly favored by attackers, it seems, and this might
be due to improved detection of zero-days or a higher success rate in exploiting
them.

Eliminating the Risk of Cash-Only Cannabis
Dispensaries
What are Smart Safes and How to Use Them at Cannabis Dispensaries
The
cannabis industry presents a very unique and challenging field to conduct
business in. Not only must cannabis businesses navigate the waters of a
semi-legal industry, but they must also deal almost exclusively in cash.
Handling and managing cash can pose real financial risks for cannabis
dispensaries.
For starters, having large sums of cash present at your
business invites criminal activity from both outside and within.
Beyond that, keeping track of cash on a daily basis is a laborious and
time-consuming task.
Smart safes are a practical way to eliminate much of the risk involved with
cash at cannabis dispensaries. With this new technology, cannabis business
owners can increase efficiency at their dispensaries, while also keeping better
tabs on cash totals.
What are Smart Safes?
Smart safes can combine traditional locking safes and modern cash management
software in a single unit. With smart safes, cannabis business owners can
track cash flow at their dispensaries at all times, while also having better
control over who has access to the cash. Cannabis business owners can also
keep tabs on cash activity at their stores from afar simply by logging into
their cash management account.
Smart safe technology keeps track of cash deposits directly at the point of sale
(POS). As such, these safes can give a real-time update on exactly how much cash
is on hand at the store at all times. When it comes time for employees to
balance their registers at the end of a shift, much of the hard work is
already complete.
What are the Main Features of Smart Safes?
Smart safes are designed specifically to streamline the
daily cash flow activities at retail businesses like cannabis dispensaries
and can help cannabis business owners and management count money, balance
registers, secure cash, and get deposits to the bank.
How can Smart Safes Help Cannabis Dispensaries?
With cash management software, smart safes give cannabis businesses real-time
access to cash totals in store. Using this technology, cannabis business owners
can monitor activity from afar and make sure their team remains compliant. Even
more, with increased access control measures, smart safes will greatly reduce
the risks of internal theft at the dispensary.

Businesses Grapple with Cannabis 'Gray
Area'
The cannabis industry is awaiting a legal green light, but can
businesses survive?
Legal gray area surrounding the drug
makes it difficult to prepare next steps, with rescheduling a perpetual
threat
The
Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, which took place in downtown
Chicago last week, revealed an industry tensely awaiting legal
legitimacy.
At first glance, it looked like any other business conference. Men, many
in formal business suits, outnumbered women. The exhibition hall was
completely devoid of skunk-y smells and a free T-shirt or tote bag was
easier to come by than a joint.
Many attendees were accustomed to corporate culture before getting into
cannabis, with backgrounds in the alcohol industry, the medical industry
or law. Many CEOs of cannabis companies told the Guardian they'd never
actually tried cannabis before working with it.
Between discussions about taxes and lobbying, panelists occasionally
acknowledged the hundreds of thousands of people who have been
incarcerated for taking part in the illegal cannabis industry, people
who would never get to participate in a conference like this one.
Most conversations revolved around the difficulties of sustaining a
business in a legal gray area.

Fighting Amazon Fakes
Counterfeit Amazon products | What the Tech?
Millions of people shopped during the Amazon Prime Day sales this week and
online shopping won't stop there, neither will counterfeit products. Fakes
can be in any category. Personal items like shampoo, and eye drops. Tools,
electronics and items for the home among other categories.
Amazon says it removed over seven million fake goods
from its storefront in 2023. With most of them, you wouldn't
recognize as counterfeits until it arrives in the mail.
These Apple Airpods I purchased might be real, but they don't sound quite right.
When you're shopping, pay attention to who's selling it. Items sold and
shipped by Amazon are likely the real deals. But there are millions of
third-party sellers. Some may be shipped from Amazon, but the seller is
responsible for the authenticity of the items. They also have their own return
policies.
Take some time to read reviews. Do not go by the star ratings. This
product, sold by a third-party seller, has 100% positive reviews. But look: All
of the 1 star reviews have been canceled, boosting the seller's ratings.
SD cards are easily counterfeited. This buyer recorded video of the card she
received and melted in her camera. It looks as though someone placed a sticker
over a cheap card to make it look legit.
If you're shopping with a third-party seller, reading reviews is critical
because those sellers have their own return policies. You'll deal with them
and not Amazon.
Trust your gut. Listings for counterfeit products are often much cheaper than
those sold by Amazon might be fake.

Police arrest and Albany DA indict three for retail crime ring; Part of a larger
group of at least eight
County District Attorney David Soares announced the indictments of three Albany
women at a
press conference on Wednesday, Oct. 2, for their involvement in a major
retail crime ring in the Capital District. Soares also highlighted that
complications arose from recent bail reform legislation, which prevents judges
from setting bail in cases of petty and grand larceny, allowing suspects to
reoffend multiple times. The six-count indictment named two of the three women:
Winter Vandross, 19, and Zamaria Williams, 22, both of Albany. A third suspect,
Myunique McQueen, 21, also of Albany, was at large but was arrested on Friday,
Oct. 11. Although McQueen was not named during the press conference, Spotlight
News confirmed her identity through multiple sources familiar with the
situation. "These three young ladies account for over $78,000 worth of stolen
merchandise from just three stores... in just three short months," Soares
said, referring to thefts from Kohl's, LensCrafters, and Ulta Beauty.

Shootings & Deaths
Man killed at Maryland Foot Locker had 4-year-old son with him
A man who was shot and killed at a shoe store in Prince George's County,
Maryland, had his 4-year-old son with him at the time, charging documents
reveal. Two suspects charged in the death of 24-year-old Dominique Hodge
appeared in court Tuesday afternoon. Prosecutors said Hodge was shoe shopping
with his son Thursday evening at the Foot Locker at The Shops at Iverson in
Hillcrest Heights when suspects gunned him down. Before the shooting, Hodge
made eye contact with three suspects as they were leaving the store, according
to charging documents. Prosecutors said Hodge and someone in the suspects' group
brushed up against each other in the store before shots rang out. A witness told
police they heard dozens of rounds fire in rapid succession, and investigators
believe a gun equipped with a switch that turns it into a machine gun was used
in the killing. An officer saw three suspects near the shooting scene,
investigators said. Police captured one suspect, 19-year-old Andres
Rodriguez-Corona, about half a mile from the mall. He's charged with first- and
second-degree murder.

Spokane Valley, WA: Man shot, killed outside Safeway in Spokane Valley
identified
A man was shot and killed outside a Safeway on East Trent Avenue in the Spokane
Valley around 6:15 a.m. on Saturday. Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO)
deputies and Spokane Valley deputies arrived in the area after several callers
reported hearing gunshots, seeing a victim lying on the ground and that a
possible suspect had fled the scene. SCSO says the suspect has not been
located, but detectives believe the shooting was an isolated incident and that
there is not an ongoing threat to the public. The Spokane County Medical
Examiner identified 53-year-old William McCreight as the person who died. The
medical examiner said the cause of McCreight's death was multiple gunshot
wounds, and the manner of his death was homicide.

Progress or moving forward has as much to do with which way you're facing as
anything else. If you stay focused on facing your customer and not your internal
team then you might find success is a little closer than you think. This goes
for the vendor and for the retailer, as we all have customers to serve both
internally and externally. And while it's impossible to always stay facing them
the mere thought of it will bring you back a little faster if you just remember
that your ultimate success is driven by your customers whether its individual
stores or companies. Much too often we all tend to get lost in the politics of
our inner group and use it as a means of avoiding having to accomplish difficult
tasks. But all you've got to remember is to turn around and face the customer
and then you'll be back on track getting things done and moving forward.
Just a Thought, Gus
