The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


How Facial Recognition is Fighting Retail Crime & Making Customers Safer
The Rise Of Facial Recognition In Retail: What Shoppers Should Know

Dara Riordan is the President and COO of FaceFirst Inc., a global leader in facial recognition and AI-driven security software.

Facial recognition technology is revolutionizing how consumers shop, travel and purchase. It is used to better secure airport, hospital, retail store and entertainment venue entry points. It is also used to protect consumers' identities for more secure transactions. Commercial organizations are leveraging facial recognition capabilities to improve workflows and enhance security.

Today, you are on camera in almost every aisle you shop. CCTV has evolved significantly in public perception; what was once viewed as an intrusive surveillance tool saw widespread adoption and an increased sense of safety when cameras are in use.

Facial recognition is revolutionizing traditional CCTV security with processing powers beyond human capabilities. The increased use of facial recognition in the retail sector has followed dramatic spikes in theft and violence. Recently, 300 U.S. and U.K. senior retail leaders told researchers that the current "theft crisis" is their No. 1 business concern. They cited facial recognition as the most effective crisis response tool.

Human eyewitnesses to a threat's arrival can be challenging, especially for retailers where thousands of customers can enter daily. The precision and accuracy of the technology provide greater visibility to known threats. It's been used to successfully warn employees of violent shoplifters who should not be approached, to help recover missing minors with AMBER alerts and to close major organized retail crime cases.

Facial recognition has emerged as a powerful tool that is not just about preventing theft but also making stores safer for associates and customers. Like the AI that powers cars with blind-spot detection, facial recognition delivers speed and precision beyond human capabilities and is changing the face of retail security.

Four Key Things Shoppers And Business Owners Should Know About Facial Recognition

1. Facial Recognition Is Already Part Of Daily Life
2. Retail Theft Impacts Consumers And Store Safety
3. Facial Recognition Is Highly Accurate, But It Doesn't Recognize Everyone
4. Human Oversight Is Critical

NRF's Fight Retail Crime Day Coming Oct. 24
Urgent action is needed as the fight against ORC intensifies

Join NRF at Fight Retail Crime Day on Oct. 24 to advocate for the passage of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act

The implications of organized retail crime are far-reaching, and the urgency of addressing ORC has never been greater. In recent years, retailers across the United States have reported a sharp increase in the frequency and scale of retail crimes involving or associated with ORC groups.

What's even more concerning is the increase in violence tied to these crimes. More than two-thirds of respondents to NRF's 2023 National Retail Security Survey said they had seen even more violence and aggression from ORC perpetrators compared with a year ago.

"The ORC problem we have in the U.S. has certainly grown," says Scott McBride, chief global asset protection officer with American Eagle Outfitters, "and it's affecting every single community that we operate in as a collective group of retailers."

A unified approach

Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach that includes enhanced security measures, legislative action and collaborative efforts between retailers, law enforcement and policymakers - a need lawmakers answered by introducing the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (H.R. 895/ S. 140).

Facilitating information exchange

One of CORCA's central provisions is the establishment of a new Organized Retail Crime Coordination Center within the Department of Homeland Security. This center would serve as a hub for information sharing and coordination between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, retail businesses and other stakeholders.

Retailers' need for the advancement of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act is urgent, and the continued denial of ORC's existence has done nothing to make the problem disappear. Retailers, states and localities have invested billions into curbing these crimes, but stalled federal solutions have allowed this stubborn challenge to metastasize.

NRF's Fight Retail Crime Day returns on Oct. 24 to mobilize the retail community to advocate for effective solutions in combating this problem. Get a head start by telling Congress to pass the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act today nrf.com

What California's New Anti-Theft Laws Mean for Criminals
New anti-theft law means harsher penalties if you steal from Walmart as officials close 'loophole' and launch crackdown

Individuals caught selling stolen items, even if they did not commit the crime, are at risk of facing stiff sentences

A new anti-theft law is set to go into effect that will result in harsher penalties for retail theft bandits.

The bill, consisting of 10 new laws, will form a collaborated district attorney effort that allows them to file specific theft charges against individuals suspected of retail crimes no matter what county the offense occurred.

The new policy will allow thefts against multiple victims or in several counties to be combined into one single and hasher charge. The enhanced policies will also punish a person possessing stolen property that exceeds $950 to face a misdemeanor offense that is punishable by up to one year or as a felony for 16 months.

A separate policy will allow the court to ban an individual convicted of shoplifting, organized retail theft, vandalism, or battery of an employee from all of the department store's locations or parking lot for up to two years.

Another law will create a new sentencing enhancement for individuals caught selling stolen goods worth $50,000 or more to crack down on smash-and-grab crimes at high-end designer locations.

Individuals convicted of selling stolen goods exceeding $50,000 can be sentenced to up to a year in prison. The sentencing increases based on the cost of the stolen goods. the-sun.com
 

Canada's All-Of-The-Above Approach to Fighting Retail Crime
Police, consumers and business operators all key to reducing retail crime
Police alone cannot win the fight against shoplifters. Consumers and business owners are needed to curb the increasing problem of retail theft.

That was a key message from the Ontario Retail Safety and Security Guide - unveiled Monday - by Toronto Police Service in conjunction with representatives from the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, the Retail Council of Canada, and Workplace Safety and Services.

Retail crime, including fraud, theft, and vandalism aimed at businesses, is on the increase, said Paul Pedersen, executive director of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police.

"As this trend continues, it becomes evident that police cannot do it all ourselves," he added. "Collaboration between law enforcement and businesses and consumers is the goal to make our communities safer and more prosperous."

Pedersen says retail crimes comes with significant costs that affects pricing, employee security, and the local economy." At the same time, consumers play an equally important role, as shoppers are the eyes and ears on the ground reporting suspicious activities, spreading awareness, and fostering a community-driven approach, which can go a long way in deterring criminal activity," Pedersen said.

Businesses need to work hand-in-hand with law enforcement by sharing information, reporting incidents promptly, and adopting crime prevention measures such as surveillance and security protocols, said Pedersen. torontosun.com


Tensions High Ahead of Election
New cases of political violence roil U.S. ahead of election
The recent attacks were among at least 300 cases of political violence identified by Reuters since Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, including at least 51 incidents this year. With just two weeks to go before the Nov. 5 presidential election, the cases are part of the biggest and most sustained increase in U.S. political violence since the 1970s.

Some of the violence has been reported widely, most notably two assassination attempts on Trump, a Republican. Other high-profile incidents include three shootings in recent weeks at a Democratic campaign office for Harris in Arizona.

But Reuters documented scores of other cases on contentious political issues - from election disputes to LGBTQ+ rights and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Incidents ranged from small fights over political signs to more violent brawls and property destruction at rallies. Most of this year's violence wasn't fatal with the exception of two deaths: a spectator killed during July's attempt on Trump's life and the shooter.

The pace of cases has remained remarkably consistent since beginning to rise in 2016, around the time of Trump's first presidential run. In 2021, which included the tumult that followed Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, there were 93 cases of political violence, followed by 79 in 2022, and 76 in 2023. staradvertiser.com

Abercrombie Sex-Trafficking Case
Ex-Abercrombie CEO, 80, Busted for Sex-Trafficking Aspiring Models

Two others were also taken into custody as part of the investigation.

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries was arrested Tuesday in a sex-trafficking investigation, a year after being accused of sexually exploiting male models.

The 80-year-old fashion mogul was taken into custody along with his partner, Matt Smith, and another man, Jim Jacobson, a source told the Daily Beast.

The indictment, which comes out of the Eastern District of New York, alleges that Jeffries and two other associates aspiring male models between December 2008 and March 2015, a source told CNN.

The victims were allegedly invited to sex-themed parties, where they were plied with drugs, alcohol and Viagra to perform sex acts, a second source told the outlet.

The investigation was acknowledged by federal prosecutors in January after several alleged victims filed a lawsuit in 2023.

"Today's arrests are monumental for the aspiring male models who were victimized by these individuals," Brittany Henderson, an attorney who represented some of the alleged victims in the civil lawsuit, told The Daily Beast in a statement.

"Their fight for justice does not end here. We look forward to holding Abercrombie and Fitch liable for facilitating this terrible conduct and ensuring that this cannot happen again."  thedailybeast.com

CISOs Becoming More Influential
CISOs are gaining influence among corporate leadership

A Deloitte Global report shows CISOs are involved in a growing set of strategic decisions about digital transformation, cloud and other technology issues.

The CISO is morphing into a more influential member of corporate leadership as companies around the world are becoming more strategic in how they manage cybersecurity risk, according to a report released Monday by Deloitte Global.

About one-third of respondents reported a significant increase in CISOs participating in strategic conversations about technology-related capabilities, the report found. The report is based on a survey of 1,200 cyber decision makers at the director level or above.

One in five respondents said their CISO reports directly to the CEO, a sign of the growing importance of cybersecurity within companies across the globe. It is still common for security to fall under IT leadership, with more than one-quarter of CISOs reporting to CIOs.

As cybersecurity concerns grow around the globe, senior executives and board members are looking to the CISO to help shape how companies manage risk and think strategically about growing technology estates.

"The reasoning for the role's growth is simply that many boards and C-suites now require or need further knowledge into potential threats, security vulnerabilities, risk scenarios, and actions needed for greater resilience," Emily Mossburg, Deloitte Global cyber leader said via email. cybersecuritydive.com


Money Isn't The Whole Answer
CISOs: Throwing Cash at Tools Isn't Helping Detect Breaches

A survey shows three-quarters of CISOs are drowning in threat detections put out by a sprawling stack of tools, yet still lack the basic visibility necessary to identify breaches.

AdvertisementGlobal information security spend is projected to reach $215 billion by the end of 2024. But a new survey of chief information security officers (CISOs) shows that all that cash might not have bought the peace of mind they hoped for. In fact, 44% of CISOs across the globe reported missing a data breach in the past 12 months with existing tools.

The top blind spot identified in the survey of 234 global CISOs was hybrid cloud infrastructure and data-in-transit, which eight out of 10 of those surveyed by Gigamon said is a "top concern." Gigamon's report added that data-in-motion is where 93% of malware has historically hidden. Overwhelmingly, 84% of surveyed CISOs said getting visibility into this encrypted traffic was a top priority for the upcoming year.

"Modern cybersecurity is about differentiating between acceptable and unacceptable risk," Chaim Mazal, CSO at Gigamon, said in the survey report. "Our research shows where CISOs are drawing that line, highlighting the critical importance of visibility into all data-in-motion to secure complex hybrid cloud infrastructure against today's emerging threats. It's clear current approaches aren't keeping pace, which is why CISOs must reevaluate tool stacks and reprioritize investments and resources to more confidently secure their infrastructure."  darkreading.com
 

Large Companies Impacted by Breach
Cisco Disables DevHub Access After Security Breach

The networking company confirms that cyberattackers illegally accessed data belonging to some of its customers.

Cisco has disabled public access to one of its DevHub environments after threat actors downloaded some customer data from the site and put it up for sale on a cybercrime forum.

The compromised data included source code, API tokens, hardcoded credentials, certificates, and other secrets belonging to some large companies, including Microsoft, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, Barclays, and SAP.

News of the breach first surfaced a week ago, when researchers spotted three threat actors using the monikers IntelBroker, EnergyWeaponUser, and zjj, putting up the data for sale on BreachForums. IntelBroker is a known Serbian entity that began operations in 2022 and is linked to several major data heists, including ones at Europol, General Electric, and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).

Cisco announced it was investigating the incident on Oct. 15. Three days later, the company confirmed the security incident in an update that offered little detail on the kind of data that the attackers managed to access and download. darkreading.com

The Amazon vs. Union War Continues
Teamsters, Members of Congress Demand Amazon Stop Ignoring Federal Law

Elected Officials Call Out Amazon for Union Busting, Misclassification Practices

Today, 133 members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed onto a letter supporting Amazon Teamsters by demanding information from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy regarding the retail behemoth's unlawful violations of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).

"Under a mountain of unfair labor practices and illegal worker misclassifications, Amazon is operating as a white-collar crime syndicate, violating federal law as a matter of principle," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien. "Securing the support of elected officials to help the Teamsters hold Amazon accountable is a critical step to stop its abuses of power. Working families are suffering nationwide under the thumb of this greedy, trillion-dollar corporation. As more Amazon workers fight back and unionize with the Teamsters, the writing is on the wall - Jeff Bezos, Andy Jassy, and their associates aren't going to get away with this crime spree for much longer."

The letter was initiated by members of the House Labor Caucus, and it was prompted by Amazon's extensive and well-documented pattern of illegality. This includes multiple and egregious labor law violations during a successful organizing drive led by Amazon Labor Union-International Brotherhood of Teamsters (ALU-IBT) Local 1 in New York, unfair labor practices of retaliation against Amazon drivers in Palmdale, Calif., who sought to organize with the Teamsters, labor violations at nearly every level of Amazon, and anti-union remarks made by Jassy.

"We have heard concerns from our constituents who are scared to exercise [their] rights due to fear of reprisal from their employer, and anti-union activities from an employer as prominent as Amazon exacerbate those concerns," representatives said to Jassy in the letter. "Therefore, in accordance with the NLRA, we urge Amazon to refrain from engaging in intimidation, retaliation, and other forms of illegal interference, and to allow workers to decide on their own whether they should join a union."

The Congressional delegation that co-signed the letter represents over 98 million U.S. citizens. Representatives are demanding Jassy answer key questions about Amazon's labor practices, such as whether the company will commit to bargaining with Teamsters in good faith, how Amazon reconciles its actions with its public statements, and whether Amazon will commit to following the law in the future. finance.yahoo.com


Termination Notices Sent to Some Amazon Vendors
Amazon is terminating some wholesale vendor accounts, leaving affected brands anxious ahead of the holidays

If wholesale through Amazon is no longer working, then wholesale through a third-party agency like Pattern or Spreetail is one alternative.

Last month, Amazon started sending out termination notices to some brands that sell items in bulk on its platform. The brands affected appear to be part of Amazon's 1P invite-only program. where CPG giants like Nestle and P&G sell inventory in bulk to Amazon.

"We've made the decision to stop sourcing products from your company, as part of our regular review of product offerings, and a strategic realignment to optimize our operations--effective Nov. 9 our vendor relationship will be terminated," read one of the termination notices sent by Amazon's Vendor Central Team shared on LinkedIn.

"Like all businesses, we regularly review our product offerings and occasionally make changes," wrote Maria Boschetti, an Amazon spokesperson, in an email to Retail Brew. Amazon made the decision to stop sourcing products from some US vendors following a routine review.

Vendors that have received termination notices are feeling overwhelmed, experts told Retail Brew. One option for those vendors affected may be to switch to selling on Amazon's marketplace as a third-party seller. retailbrew.com

Gig Harbor, WA: Thief hit the same Pierce County store four times, stole $6,000 in perfume, police say
Ulta Beauty lost thousands of dollars in perfume in recent weeks over five potentially related shoplifting incidents, Gig Harbor police say. The same man allegedly stole over $6,000 in fragrance products from the store at 5500 Olympic Dr. in Gig Harbor over four separate days, according to police. A fifth shoplifting incident possibly involving a different suspect occurred Saturday, Gig Harbor Police Lt. Fred Douglas told The News Tribune via email Monday. Because that suspect's method of stealing the items was similar to the previous four incidents, the incident is likely related, he wrote. The first shoplifting call occurred on Sept. 30, when a man stole about $2,000 in fragrances, according to Douglas. It was followed by calls on Oct. 1, Oct. 2 and Oct. 5, and it is likely that the same suspect was involved in all four cases, Douglas told The News Tribune via email Oct. 18.  thenewstribune.com

The age of the email has truly changed the way humans communicate both personally and professionally, with emails becoming that fast pitch right down the middle and stinging the catcher's hand when they least expect it, and oftentimes first thing in the morning before you've even had time to drink your first cup of coffee. It has almost become an accepted practice for many to compose their negative or conflicting thoughts about the days' events or conversations and push that send button after everyone has left so they don't have to face the receiver and so that they can almost act innocent the next day as if some imposter sent it the night before. It's almost as if the email world has offered some sort of anonymity to senders, even when it comes from their own address.
