The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact

How Will the Trump Administration Impact Retail Crime?
Retail Crime Rise Tied to "Soft On Criminal" Policies

Over the past four years there's been a huge increase in retail theft in the United States, but that's also about when a law enforcement trend allowing minimum or no punishment for "small," non-violent shoplifters became popular.

Such radical soft-on-crime policies have led to the closing of once-familiar retail chains, many of whom just couldn't absorb the costs of replacing hundreds of dollars in merchandise stolen several times a week.

"You have to take into account these radical leftist policies where they were soft on criminals, where many of those caught shoplifting were not prosecuted. ... That sent a message to the criminal element that it [law enforcement] was condoning bad behavior, looting and stealing at high proportional rates."

In its new “Impact of Retail Theft & Violence 2024” study, the National Retail Federation highlights the 93% rise in shoplifting and related theft despite retailers locking up some items in plastic displays and adding to security details, and despite attempts by a growing cadre of states toughening laws to prosecute retail crime, such as raising certain theft categories from misdemeanors to felonies.

One thing that has changed over the past few years is the network of recipients of stolen merchandise, the study says. Now there are a number of organized retail crime groups that can and will receive and pay for such merchandise, then resell it for a profit.

The more lucrative retail theft rings and resulting display of casual shoplifting is resulting in growing alienation among consumers.

"With the new Trump administration coming in, I think law and order will be restored in this county. And it needs to be." ktrh.iheart.com

Another State Introduces ORC Bill
Maryland business leaders call for crackdown on organized retail theft
Maryland business leaders and advocates are pushing lawmakers to pass a bill that would crack down on organized retail theft and hold offenders accountable. The Organized Retail Theft Act introduced in the General Assembly defines the crime as a series of thefts from one or more retailers over 90 days with a retail value of at least $1,500.

Organized retail theft would be a felony under the proposed bill, with penalties varying based on the value of the stolen items.

• If the value of the stolen property is between $1,500 and $25,000, a maximum sentence of five years could be imposed.

• If the value of the stolen property is between $25,000 and $100,000, a maximum sentence of 10 years could be imposed.

• If the value of the stolen property is $100,000 or more, a maximum sentence of 20 years could be imposed.

A person convicted of organized retail theft would also have to return the stolen property or pay the full value to the retailer.

Under the proposed bill, separate organized crime offenses carried out by the same person could be prosecuted together in any of the counties in which the offenses occurred. The bill would also allow a court to decide if a certain crime should be considered organized retail theft.

A similar bill was introduced in 2024 but stalled in the Senate. cbsnews.com

AI Surveillance & 911 Camera Sharing
Fenton Fights Retail Crime with AI-Powered Video Surveillance and 911 Camera Sharing

Fenton, Mich.’s new video surveillance system does ‘virtual patrol’, extending police ability to deter, detect and arrest retail criminals.

To combat persistent retail crime and deliver peace of mind to workers in the bustling North Leroy Street business district, the City of Fenton Police Department has deployed an artificial intelligence-powered video surveillance system with camera-sharing technology to accelerate response time during retail heists or other emergencies.

Fenton is a city with about 12,000 permanent residents, but Chief of Police Jeffery Cross estimates 60,000 people come through the community daily. Located off Highway US-23, Fenton is a popular shopping and restaurant district for commuters and people from neighboring cities.

Unfortunately, retail criminals also come to Fenton regularly. The new video surveillance system is designed to deter, detect and apprehend retail criminals.

Housed in a weatherproof cabinet and mounted on a telephone pole with two cameras, the new system includes Eagle Eye Networks 911 Camera Sharing technology that gives Fenton’s 911 dispatch professionals immediate access to view live security camera footage during an 911 emergency through a partnership with RapidSOS. securitysales.com

2024 Supply Chain Risk Trends Analysis
Cargo theft surged 27% in 2024

Cargo Theft Surges to Record Levels in 2024, CargoNet Analysis Reveals
Verisk CargoNet, a business unit of Verisk, a leading global data analytics and technology provider, reports record-breaking cargo theft activity across the United States and Canada reached unprecedented levels in 2024, with 3,625 reported incidents representing a stark 27 percent increase from 2023, according to CargoNet's annual analysis. The estimated average value per theft rose to $202,364, up from $187,895 in 2023.

Each quarter of 2024 surpassed previous records set in 2023, though the margin of increase narrowed as the year progressed. The most dramatic spike occurred in Q1 2024, with 317 more incidents than the same period in 2023, while Q4 2024 showed a more modest increase of 94 incidents, representing an 11.81 percent year-over-year growth.

Geographic trends show California and Texas experiencing the most significant increases in theft activity. California reported a 33 percent rise in incidents, while Texas saw an even more dramatic 39 percent surge. The five most impacted counties all reported substantial increases, led by Dallas County, Texas, with a 78 percent spike in reported incidents. Los Angeles County, California, traditionally a high-activity area, saw a 50 percent increase while neighboring San Bernardino County experienced a 47 percent rise.

While theft-by-deception schemes garnered significant media attention throughout the year, traditional cargo theft methods remained prevalent. Trailer burglaries and full trailer theft continued at elevated levels, particularly in major metropolitan areas, including Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, and New York City. cargonet.com

Retailers Brace for Trump's Tariffs
Tariffs may add to ‘a toxic brew for consumers’

Retailers and consumers will feel added pressure if proposed tariffs are implemented, industry analysts and experts told Retail Dive.

As President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration approaches, the reality of how he will develop and implement tariff policies will come into sharper focus.

Retailers and the industry are beginning the new year after facing varying challenges. They include sustained inflation, consumer reticence — and sometimes inability — to spend on discretionary merchandise. Other retailers spent the year trying to execute on turnaround plans. Some, like Party City and BuyBuy Baby, didn’t survive. Others, like Big Lots and Joann, are starting the new year on shaky ground.

During his campaign, President-elect Trump said he would impose across-the-board 20% tariffs on global U.S. imports, 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 60% tariff on goods from China. Trump rejected claims from a Washington Post report earlier this month that he and his leadership would narrow the scope of the proposed tariffs, according to media reports.

Tariffs will affect every sector of retail but some segments of the industry will feel it more than others, Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, said in an email.

“Electronics, for example, is fairly low-margin and relies on components from across the world — so it would be badly affected by tariffs,” Saunders said, “Apparel would be hard hit, but due to seasonal production runs, there is more flexibility to change production location if needed.”

Egelanian noted that some retailers, including fashion apparel brand Steve Madden, are cutting sourcing in China and moving it elsewhere to avoid taking a tariff hit. retaildive.com

CSO Salary Report
The salary of a Chief Security Officer

The 23rd annual Security and Compliance Compensation report gives industry professionals insight into what their peers are earning.

Top Global Security Executive (Chief Security Officer)

When comparing reported data from the 2019 survey to the 2024 survey, the CSO positions base pay weighted average in the aggregate increased by 1.1% over the reporting period to $342,750 annually. Base salary plus bonus increased by 8.1% to $469,354 annually. Bonuses are pay at risk and tend to vary based on company goals, profitability, and employee performance and are designed to recognize company and employee performance for the past year.

Most CSO positions are eligible for a Long-Term Incentive (LTI), usually paid in company stock over a set number of years, typically a rolling plan of three to five years. The LTI annual target increased significantly by 56.5% over the reporting period to $196,729 annually. In this comparison, companies have awarded a fairly moderate base pay increase for the CSO and significantly increased pay at risk, or LTI, focusing the executive on long-term company goals with the possibility of a significantly greater upside spread across future years.

The CSO’s skillset has increased significantly — cybersecurity, global operations, threat management, crisis management, and talent acquisition have all become critical skills required for the top job. securitymagazine.com

In Case You Missed It: SecurityScorecard Threat Intel Report
97% of Top U.S. Retailers Experienced a Third-Party Breach

Report highlights vulnerabilities in retail sector as consumers prepare for busiest shopping season of the year

SecurityScorecard today released new research revealing that 97% of the top 100 U.S. retailers experienced a third-party data breach in the past year, exposing significant vulnerabilities just as consumers prepare for the busiest shopping season of the year.

With vast amounts of customer data — including sensitive payment details and personally identifiable information (PII) — retailers are particularly susceptible to third-party breaches. This highly valuable data is a goldmine for cybercriminals, who exploit it for identity theft, financial fraud, and other malicious purposes.

Ryan Sherstobitoff, Senior Vice President of Threat Research and Intelligence, said:

“In the hustle to keep up with holiday sales, retailers must not let their guard down. Cybercriminals are lurking, ready to exploit any distraction. A single data breach could devastate a company’s bottom line and irreparably damage consumer trust. With all eyes on retailers in the coming month, they can’t afford to stand still. It’s imperative to prioritize security — not just for themselves, but for their vendors as well.”

Key findings

• 97% of the largest U.S. retailers experienced a third-party breach, with only 4% of vendors compromised highlighting the far-reaching impact of these vulnerabilities. Only 12 retailers were directly breached.

• 97% also suffered fourth-party breaches, from just 2% of vendors.

• Each of the top 20 U.S. retailers faced a third-party breach.

• 22% of retailers received an A security rating, while those with a B are 2.9x more likely to suffer data breaches. businesswire.com

Hackers Using AI-Powered Tools
AI and cybersecurity: A double-edged sword
In the ever-changing landscape of digital threats, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as both a formidable ally and a dangerous adversary. As we navigate the complexities of our interconnected world, it’s becoming increasingly clear that AI is not just a tool, but a force that’s reshaping the very nature of cybersecurity.

The cybersecurity world has changed dramatically. Gone are the days when simple firewalls and antivirus software could keep our digital assets safe. Today, we’re dealing with sophisticated threat actors who are leveraging AI to launch attacks at unprecedented scale and speed. For instance, in 2024, a troubling trend emerged where hackers used AI-powered tools to create highly convincing deepfakes, impersonating CEOs and other C-suite executives in 75% of such attacks.

At Synechron, we are prioritizing diligence through our payment process to ensure that we have appropriate approval authority including out of band validation of mid-large money transfers. As a secondary measure, we are now evaluating a few deepfake detection tools that can be integrated into our business productivity apps, in particular for Zoom or Teams, to continuously detect deepfakes.

Using AI in cybersecurity is like trying to play chess against a supercomputer — the game is familiar, but the opponent’s capabilities are on a whole new level. Luckily, we also have access to the supercomputer. cio.com

Threat Group Gains Access to Company Data
HPE probes hacker claim involving trove of sensitive company data

The vendor said it has no immediate evidence of operational impacts or compromised customer data.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it is investigating claims a threat group gained access to a trove of sensitive company data. The threat group, IntelBroker, posted a claim on BreachForums that it had access to a large trove of HPE data, according to researchers from Arctic Wolf.

The allegedly stolen data includes private GitHub repositories, Docker builds, source code and other information, according to the posting. Upon learning of the claim Thursday, the company immediately activated cyber response protocols, disabled related credentials and launched an investigation to determine whether the claims were valid, a spokesperson said Tuesday via email.

“There is no operational impact to our business at this time, nor evidence that customer information is involved,” the spokesperson said. IntelBroker first came to prominence in 2022 and has been linked to a number of high-profile attacks. cybersecuritydive.com

More Coverage of Amazon's Drone Safety Problems
Amazon suspends drone deliveries in two states, citing safety needs
For more than a decade, Amazon has been working to deliver packages straight to customers’ doorsteps, using drones instead of drivers. However, the company’s one-hour delivery promise has been delayed again, with drone operations in Texas and Arizona now suspended.

Amazon’s “Prime Air” service is on hold, following the crash of two newly built drones during testing. The incidents occurred after light rain at Amazon’s testing facility in Oregon caused the MK30 drones to malfunction and crash, and one drone even caught fire.

A spokesperson for Amazon said the drone is “designed to safely respond to unknown events in a known way,” and noted that “the overall architecture of the drone has performed as expected.”

The pause follows Amazon’s launch of a new fleet of drones at the end of 2024, after two years of development. A key part of the testing was ensuring the drones could operate safely in light rain, the factor that led to the recent issue.

Amazon insists the pause is voluntary and not solely based on the crashes. The company says it is working to improve the safety of the drones, similar to a previous pause after earlier models experienced battery failures and power issues.

In 2013, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced plans to deliver packages to half a billion customers using drones. Progress has been gradual but steady. The company began drone deliveries in Texas in 2022, expanded to prescriptions in 2023, and added Arizona to the service last year. san.com

Three features — the ability to track deliveries, the availability of fast delivery, and easy and convenient return and refund procedures — were each mentioned by 46% of consumers. pymnts.com

Perception becomes reality slowly on a macro level and it's difficult to change it if it's incorrect or doesn't portray the truth. It's the same reason law enforcement separates witnesses to ensure clarity and truth. The group mind becomes influenced by opinion and agendas and distorts the true reality. One can only rely on daily vigilance based on doing what's right to hopefully impact the individuals one works with on a daily basis to carry the experience forward and be witness to what is right.
