How Organized Retail Crime is Threatening the Retail Industry
 Organized
Retail Crime (ORC), the coordinated theft of merchandise for resale, has grown
exponentially in the U.S., necessitating increased security measures and even
causing store closures. The issue is projected to escalate, demanding modern,
tactical security solutions that allow retailers and law enforcement to combat
ORC while maintaining a pleasant shopping environment.
Cloud video security is a powerful tool in fighting ORC.
OpenEye's comprehensive
guide delves into the current methods for defining and measuring ORC's impact on
businesses and the economy. It explores effective security strategies for
mitigating inventory loss and enhancing the shopping experience. The guide also
highlights the advantages of cloud video surveillance in tackling ORC, and how
the integration of other security systems can provide a more robust solution for
retailers.

Retailers Walking a Tightrope with Anti-Theft
Policies
Mark Cuban warns chains have choice between 'lock & key' anti-theft methods or
accepting some stealing as way of life
Mark Cuban says retailers must decide which anti-theft policies work best -
locking up goods or introducing facial recognition. In an exclusive interview
with The U.S. Sun, the Dallas Mavericks minority stake owner said it was up
to individual stores to determine how best to deal with rising retail theft.
The entrepreneur, who is well known for his business acumen following multiple
successful business ventures, said locking up
merchandise was a "draconian response to theft."
However, he said it may be necessary for some brands if it prevented soaring
levels of shoplifting across the country.
"You know, there's a variety of different ways to deal with theft. And every
store makes that, you know, economic determination," Cuban told The U.S. Sun. "Do
you put cameras everywhere? Do you require facial recognition? Um, how do you
deal with privacy issues if that upsets customers and they decide not to come?
"Those are the types of things that if it's my business, you just model it out
and you say, you know what, there's going to be X amount of theft and I'm
either, am I going to accept that? Or am I not going to accept it?
"And I'm going to be more draconian and put everything behind a lock and key.
They have to decide."

PD Drowning in Liquor Store Thefts
Strained by liquor thefts, police want Virginia ABC to take over investigating
crimes
Shoplifting at ABC stores in Hampton Roads has been on the rise and the sheer
number of investigations are straining police department resources,
according to Virginia Beach Chief Paul Neudigate.
He is working with city lawmakers to request a change to state law that would
make Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority's Bureau of Law Enforcement
the primary agency responsible for reporting and investigating liquor thefts.
He recently discussed the issue with other city chiefs. and neighboring
localities may join the legislative effort.
Roughly 31,000 bottles of alcohol worth more than $1.6 million have been
stolen from Virginia ABC stores so far this year, according to data provided
by the authority from Jan. 1 through Oct. 16. In the Hampton Roads region,
Norfolk has had the most thefts to date with 6,199 bottles of booze stolen at a
total value of more than $233,000.
"They are experiencing the same struggles we are," Neudigate said in an
interview this week. "It's an ongoing issue that does not seem to have a
resolution, and we are spending a lot of resources to address the recurring
and ongoing thefts."
Theft at Virginia Beach ABC stores accounted for 23% of all shopliftings in
2023 and '24 year-to-date, according to the city's legislative agenda
document. In that city alone, 2,000 bottles have been stolen this year - a value
of about $147,000, according to Virginia ABC.

Progressives Hit 'Breaking Point'
Liberal Californians Have Reached Their Breaking Point on Crime
Voters are likely to approve a ballot
measure calling for stricter sentencing guidelines.
For as long as Donald Trump has been in politics, he has bashed California as a
"radical hellscape" of crime, homelessness and drugs that only a conservative "law and order" approach could fix. So, it should be deeply troubling to
Democrats that in this pivotal election year, the party's messaging is so off
that a solid majority of voters in the most liberal state in the US
apparently agree with the former president.
Indeed, after more than a decade of serving as a national model for criminal
justice reform, Californians seem to have reached a breaking point.

Safety & Staffing Levels Top Concerns
for Holiday Shoppers
Survey: Safety, understaffing are concerns for in-store holiday shoppers
Consumers plan to head to brick-and-mortar stores to buy gifts this
holiday season, but many have concerns about physical retail.
A large number (78%) of shoppers say they fear
for their safety and security while shopping in-person during the
holidays this year, according to a new survey from retail
mobile communications platform Theatro. An overwhelming majority agreed
that more proactive measures are needed, with 69% saying they would
like retailers to invest more in tools and technology to keep stores
safe during the 2024 holidays.
Nearly half (47%) of holiday shoppers are frustrated by understaffed
stores and said it negatively impacts their willingness to shop
there, with 22% saying they'll avoid a store at all costs if it's not
properly staffed.
More than seven-in-10 (72%) shoppers said they anticipate long lines
and crowds being the most frustrating aspect of shopping at
brick-and-mortar stores this holiday season, while 27% of shoppers said
they'll likely abandon their shopping cart while waiting in line if
there's not enough employees to keep the line moving.
The survey revealed that 26% of shoppers plan to shop more in-person
this year this holiday season compared to previous years. More than
half (54%) say they'll rely on their typical mix of in-person and online
shopping.
When asked what draws them to physical stores, 64% of shoppers said
they want to see and touch the product, while 32% enjoy the festive
atmosphere and 34% appreciate being able to easily return items.
When it comes to buying online, 59% said they do so to compare prices
and save money, while 51% want to access a greater selection and 31%
flagged that learning about product info online is easier than asking an
employee.

Shoppers Want a Mix of Physical &
Online Shopping
Mark Cuban's warning to Walmart-style chains over balance of online and
in-person stores as shoppers proven to want both
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban says major retailers must strike the
right balance between offering customers online retail and
brick-and-mortar shopping, warning shoppers still "want both."
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, the Shark Tank star said he
believed consumers still wanted a "tactile" in-store experience
for certain products rather than buying them product online.
Cuban also acknowledged retailers including Walmart are downsizing
their retail footprint amid a rise in e-commerce. "People want to go
shopping, they want that tactile experience," Cuban told The U.S. Sun.
"And that's changed now, people want a combination of both, and so
you may not get as many physical brick and mortar locations but that
doesn't mean those large companies have to go out of business. "You
know, they have to come up with the right balance."
The tech billionaire noted that chains are ramping up their online
offerings while closing some brick-and-mortar stores. He expressed
concern for the consumer, saying some shoppers still wanted to buy
products in person.
"Walmart, their online business is growing and maybe their brick and
mortar business isn't growing as quickly but what matters is how
things are happening together," Cuban told The U.S. Sun.

FTC Blocks Merger
Tapestry and Capri merger blocked in win for FTC
The owners of Coach and Michael Kors
plan to appeal the decision, but experts say it's unlikely the deal will
go through
 The
Federal Trade Commission won its lawsuit to block the planned merger
between Tapestry Inc. and Capri Holdings, an FTC spokesperson
confirmed to sister publication Fashion Dive on Thursday. Tapestry and
Capri Holdings plan to appeal, both companies said in separate press
releases following the decision.
The $8.5 billion merger would have combined Tapestry's Coach, Kate
Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands with Capri's Michael Kors, Versace and
Jimmy Choo. The deal would have created one of the largest luxury
conglomerates in the United States, behind LVMH.
The Federal Trade Commission sued to block the deal in April,
accusing Tapestry of anticompetitive behavior, saying the merger would
give Tapestry "a dominant share of the 'accessible luxury' handbag
market."
In its statement, Tapestry called the decision disappointing and
"incorrect on the law and the facts."

How Tech Can Help Retail Address New
Threats & Vulnerabilities
Navigating the new terrain: Pioneering smart solutions in retail
In the dynamic world of retail, the pace of change has accelerated
dramatically, driven by technological innovation and a shared commitment
to exceeding customer expectations. The evolution from traditional
retail practices to a digitally powered ecosystem reflects a broader
industry-wide movement towards more intelligent retail practices.
Yet, the retail sector faces a unique set of challenges.
The escalation of organized retail crime, the
surge in cyber threats and the impacts of global events like COVID-19
have unveiled critical vulnerabilities in current operational
models. These challenges demand a strategic overhaul, urging retailers
to rethink their retail security and customer service approach.
Historically, the response to these challenges has been to adopt the
latest digital and emerging technology tools - ranging from advanced
analytics for customer insights to sophisticated security systems for
asset protection. The industry has evolved from basic security models
to creating secure shopping experiences, leveraging technologies such as
AI-driven video platforms, RFID for inventory management, and IoT
devices for enhanced awareness. Despite these advancements, the
reality is that our efforts often fall short of addressing the root
causes of retail vulnerabilities.

How a leading UK retailer drives their security strategy
with
Retail Crime Intelligence
 Discover
how a leading UK retailer drives their business security strategy with Retail
Crime Intelligence, including a 40% increase in ROI on resourcing
investments.
No stranger to innovation, this retailer led the UK retail security industry in
setting up one of the first Security Operations Centres to provide greater
support to their stores and store-based colleagues. As they faced the reality of
rising crime and violence across the UK and Ireland, they knew preventing these
problems at scale would require continued innovation.
While
exploring strategies and solutions, they found they didn't have efficient ways
to connect the dots on repeat offenders or a way to collaborate internally and
externally. Security leaders knew this was one of the keys to unlocking safer
stores and more
 prevention against the organised crime groups causing the most
loss - ultimately choosing to partner with Auror's Retail Crime Intelligence
platform.

AI Saves Organizations Money & Boosts
Cybersecurity
3 proven use cases for AI in preventative cybersecurity
IBM's
Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 highlights a ground-breaking finding:
The application of AI-powered automation in prevention has saved organizations
an average of $2.2 million. Enterprises have been using AI for years in
detection, investigation and response. However, as
attack
surfaces expand, security leaders must adopt a more proactive stance.
Here are three ways how
AI is helping to make that possible:
1. Attack surface management: Proactive defense with AI
Increased complexity and interconnectedness are a growing headache for security
teams, and attack surfaces are expanding far beyond what they can monitor using
manual means alone. As organizations level up their multi-cloud strategies and
onboard new SaaS tools and third-party code in software development and
deployment, the challenge only intensifies.
2. Red teaming: AI goes on the offensive
AI red teaming is the process of having people stress-test AI models for
potential vulnerabilities and other issues, such as bias and misinformation.
While most models are designed with guardrails in place to mitigate these risks,
attackers routinely try to "jailbreak" them through the use of clever prompting.
For red teams, the goal is to get there before their adversaries, thereby giving
them a chance to take corrective action.
3. Posture management: Continuous security at scale
Posture management is where the scalable, real-time monitoring capabilities of
AI really shine. Where ASM reveals potential vulnerabilities in attack surfaces,
posture management takes a much broader approach by monitoring configurations,
compliance with security policies and connections between both internal and
external systems in a manner that's continuous, agile and adaptable.

Connecting Compensation to Microsoft's
Security Overhaul
Microsoft CEO asked board to cut pay in connection with security overhaul
Yet, Satya Nadella's fiscal 2024
compensation far exceeded 2023 thanks to Microsoft's strong market performance.
&uuid=(email)) Microsoft
Chair and CEO Satya Nadella asked for the board to reduce part of his annual
compensation package to account for his role in how the company prepared for
malicious cyberattacks that led to an overhaul of its internal security
culture.
Nadella received more than $79 million in total compensation in fiscal 2024,
which included a base salary of $2.5 million, about $71.2 million in stock
awards and $5.2 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation,
according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The total
included almost $170,000 classified as other compensation.
However, Nadella "asked the board to consider departing from the established
performance metrics and reduce his cash incentive to reflect his personal
accountability for the focus and speed required for the changes that today's
cybersecurity threat landscape showed were necessary," according to a letter
included in the filing from the compensation committee at Microsoft.
Nadella would have received more than $10.6 million in cash compensation
based on the company's strong financial performance. Yet, thanks to Microsoft's
strong market performance, Nadella's pay still far exceeded his compensation
last year.

SonicWall firewalls the common access point in spreading ransomware campaign
Arctic Wolf Labs researchers said SonicWall
firewalls were the initial access point for at least 30 ransomware attacks since
August.
Ransomware attacks hit
at least 30 organizations using SonicWall firewalls running firmware
affected by a critical vulnerability the vendor disclosed and patched two months
ago, security researchers at Arctic Wolf Labs said Thursday.
SonicWall
disclosed and patched the improper access control vulnerability,
CVE-2024-40766, which has a CVSS score of 9.3, on Aug. 22. Arctic Wolf Labs
said it began observing Akira and Fog ransomware variant intrusions involving
the affected SSL VPN feature of SonicWall firewalls in early August.
"We have observed a significant increase in activity consistent with
attempted intrusions since August, with spikes in activity typically
occurring during non-business hours," Bret Fitzgerald, senior director of global
public relations at SonicWall, said Thursday via email.

How the Pandemic Permanently Boosted
Online Counterfeit Sales
Behind the scenes with the team of ex-prosecutors fighting Amazon's counterfeit
problem
By 2016, sellers were speaking out about Amazon's growing counterfeit problem,
telling CNBC of the company's effort to openly court Chinese manufacturers.
Sales from Chinese-based sellers on the site more than doubled in 2015 .
Counterfeits became a more frequent problem on Amazon
and across the internet as the pandemic supercharged online shopping,
said Jason Goldberg, chief commerce strategy officer at advertising firm
Publicis. And unlike brick-and-mortar stores, which may offer up to 150,000
products, online marketplaces like Amazon can carry hundreds of millions of
items, Goldberg said. That vast selection can be harder for platforms to police.
"There's a lot more space on that digital shelf for potential counterfeit
products," he added.
'Disrupting and dismantling' counterfeiters
Amazon has rolled out tools like Project Zero and Brand
Registry that let brands report and remove suspected counterfeits themselves.
In 2020, it launched an internal division , called the Counterfeit Crimes Unit,
that partners with brands and law enforcement agencies to take on fraudsters.
The team, which now includes 35 people, is made up of data analysts,
investigators and former federal prosecutors, many of whom previously worked for
the Justice Department and FBI. Amazon recently invited CNBC to its second
headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, to learn more about how the CCU
investigates counterfeits on the company's marketplace.
Kebharu Smith, who heads up the CCU, said the division was launched at the
request of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who was CEO until 2021. Bezos felt the
company needed to have a team of former prosecutors and experts to "disrupt and
dismantle" counterfeiting organizations, Smith said.
In 2023, Amazon says it partnered with law enforcement around the world to
seize 7 million counterfeit products and execute more than 50 raids,
spending $1.2 billion and employing 15,000 people to make it happen.
Before the CCU's launch, Amazon's anti-counterfeit efforts were largely
driven by its customer trust team, which oversees the company's response to
myriad abuse and fraud issues, like fake reviews and bad actors who look to
skirt its policies.

The Debate Over Online Returns
Letter to the Editor: Online retailers should accept returns without complaining
Your article says serial returners often send products back "out of buyer's
remorse" and quotes Al Gerrie saying that "this cohort is exploiting retailers"
(Serial
returners send back £6.6bn of online purchases a year in UK, report finds, 21
October). I am a serial returner, and these claims are not true of me. I
would much prefer to go to a shop to try on 15 things and buy two than order 15
things online, wait for delivery and go through the hassle of returning 13.
However, clothes retailers (John Lewis, for example) have taken advantage of the
internet to have a much wider range available on their websites than they have
in store.
Your article mentions Boden, which doesn't even have its own shops any more. I
received a box of 17 Boden items last week and now need to return 14. You say
this is "a costly headache for retailers", but if they were to enable me to
try these clothes in store before purchasing them, I would gladly do so.
They can't have their cake and eat it too - they are saving on rent by offering
far more clothes online than they can fit in their stores. That is the trade-off
of the online model that they are profiting from.

to put all the gold from safe boxes after they finished it. They were
about to rest a little bit when it happened," he said. According to the
owner, two robbers entered the store, one of them carrying a bouquet of
flowers and pretending to browse. A third suspect then followed, using a
screwdriver to jam the door, preventing it from locking. The situation
escalated quickly, with employees reportedly being sprayed with mace and
threatened at gunpoint.

Fort Lauderdale, FL: Florida man faces over 500 charges for allegedly
dealing stolen items, violating pawnbroker laws
A Florida pawnbroker is facing over 500 charges after he was accused of
dealing with stolen property and failing to report transactions with law
enforcement. Ronald Plavnicky, 58, was arrested on Thursday and charged
with 502 counts of dealing in stolen property and failing to report to
local law enforcement, court documents said. The latter charge is a
violation of Florida State Statute 539, which is also known as the
Florida Pawnbroking Act. According to the documents, Plavnicky
"knowingly accepted or received misappropriated property" from a
customer during a transaction at his Pompano Beach pawn shop on Sept.
27. He then unlawfully trafficked items belonging to retailers such as
Home Depot, Walmart and CVS. The court documents alleged that Plavnicky
"knew or should have known" the property he was dealing with was stolen.
It was also revealed that Plavnicky's pawn shop was not reporting its
transactions into Leads Online, an electronic reporting system where
pawnbrokers are required to enter items they purchase within 24 hours of
a transaction.

Harrisburg, PA: Update: Unmasking the Masterminds: Inside the $850,000
Retail Heist That Shook Pennsylvania
Attorney General Michelle Henry, alongside the Pennsylvania State
Police, has unveiled charges against three alleged ringleaders of a
complex retail theft operation. This group is accused of stealing
merchandise and manipulating return processes at TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and
Marshalls stores, securing over $850,000 in fraudulent payouts. The
charges, stemming from a rigorous investigation by the 50th Statewide
Investigating Grand Jury, involve a total of nine individuals allegedly
engaged in this elaborate fraud since 2022. The accused leaders, Davon
Whitfield of Roslyn, Naima Scott of Abington, and Zonay Griffin of
Philadelphia, face multiple felony charges, including corrupt
organizations, organized retail theft, forgery, and conspiracy.
Authorities detail that the group exploited return policies at TJX
Companies' stores, initiating transactions with stolen items which were
then returned for refunds. These refunds were often manipulated to
benefit the defendants' debit cards. Throughout the operation, the group
allegedly conducted about 1,500 transactions, amassing over $700,000.
The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Office of the
Attorney General's Organized Retail Crime Unit and the Pennsylvania
State Police's Organized Crime Unit. As Attorney General Henry
articulated, "This was a sophisticated, highly-profitable scheme...but
make no mistake about it, this conduct is theft."

Shootings & Deaths
Adams County, MS: Fight over ice in Mississippi convenience store escalates into
deadly shooting
An apparent argument over a cup of ice inside a Mississippi convenience store
Friday night escalated into a shooting that left one man dead and questions as
to whether the shooting suspect will face charges. The Natchez Democrat reports
that Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten condemned the shooting as a "senseless
act of violence." The Adams County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call at
approximately 7:20 p.m., reporting a shooting at the Shell Station located at
787 U.S. 61 North in Washington. A deputy nearby was flagged down by a passing
motorist who reported an active shooting at the station, Sheriff Patten said. A
description of the incident from the Adams County Sheriff's Office press
release: "The shooter had placed a cup of ice down while inside the store with
other customers. The victim entered the store and retrieved a few drinks when he
accidentally knocked the cup over. An argument ensued after the shooter implied
he had a weapon but never pulled or pointed it at the victim. Keating then left
the store and retrieved a handgun from his vehicle. Once he re-entered the
store, he immediately confronted the shooter. The argument turned physical when
Keating assaulted the shooter, and the shooter, in return, shot Keating multiple
times."

Holding people accountable can be a difficult task made even more difficult if
those people don't even hold themselves accountable for their own performance or
actions. Rationalizing, minimizing, deflecting - some people are just incredibly
difficult to develop and lead. But then again, isn't that the key to being good
leaders. Learning how to manage and lead is a life-long process that's tested
every day you go to work. With human nature being to take the path of least
resistance, the manager has to be there making sure no one does.
Just a Thought,
Gus
