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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
Global
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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Folsom, CA: Police foil organized retail theft
Organized retail theft is a huge problem in the city of Folsom that
Police are working hard to get under control; last week, police got a
win and caught five people accused of shoplifting thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise at a Folsom Outlets store. On Thursday October
17th at around 5:18 pm, Folsom Police dispatchers got a call about a
report of shoplifting at the 13000 block of Folsom Blvd. The Folsom

their vehicle in a nearby neighborhood; three of the five occupants fled
on foot. Folsom Police established a perimeter and asked for help from
the California Highway Patrol helicopter to find the suspects. Folsom
Police credit the coordinated response to their rapid apprehension of
the suspects, who were caught and arrested. Officers recovered more than
$2300 worth of stolen merchandise during their investigation,
which was returned to the store. Based on the picture provided by the
Folsom Police, the merchandise looked to be at least in part, Nike
apparel.

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.
