Across San Francisco, many small business owners
like Li are in a tough predicament: They saw revenues plunge during the COVID-19
pandemic, as well as additional losses from
commercial burglaries. Now, they say, they’re hanging on by a thread —
and accuse the city of failing to act. Some merchants say the repeat
burglaries make doing business in the city untenable — which has ominous
implications for a city reeling with an exodus of downtown business anchors,
tens of thousands of tech layoffs and a drug and homelessness problem that has
made it a target of criticism across the nation. “I’ve never seen people so angry and frustrated,”
said Ben Bleiman, one of the leaders of the Discover Polk Community Benefit
District, which represents about 40 businesses on Polk Street. “So at the
end of their ropes.” The city suffers from high rates of property
crime. Commercial burglaries take a toll on neighborhoods, said San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce CEO Rodney Fong. City Hall officials said they were “working to
get as many police officers as possible on our streets,” pointing to Mayor
London Breed’s call for a
$27 million budget supplement for that effort. San Francisco police spokesperson Adam Lobsinger
said burglaries of all kinds rose citywide over the past three years,
likely a response to the decline in tourism during the pandemic and related
issues. City leaders have repeatedly blamed poor police response times
and clearance rates on low staffing — something other cities across the country
also say they’re dealing with. “The good news is that violent crime is under control,” said
Supervisor Aaron Peskin. “The bad news is that
robberies and property crime are out of control.”
sfchronical.com The hardest-hit area is the Tenderloin,
which has the highest rate of commercial burglaries in the city. Crime tops the list of concerns for
Chicago voters in the mayoral election after 2022 brought
the most crime in five years and after 2021 was the
deadliest year in the past quarter-century. Chicago crime statistics Crime in Chicago overall has increased during the past five
years by nearly 20%, according to an
official report by the Chicago Police Department. The year-over-year
change in crime was even greater last year. Between 2021 and 2022,
overall crime in Chicago increased by 41%, after overall crime had
decreased each year in 2019 and 2020 and slightly increased in 2021. Theft is driving
the overall increase in crime. Car theft is up 114% since 2018, and
other thefts increased by 32% since 2018. Just last year, motor vehicle
theft increased by 102% and theft by 56%.
Chicago crime declined 2018 to 2020
with a slight increase in 2021 followed by a spike in 2022.
Types of theft drive increase in crime
since 2018 Types of theft drove the overall increase in
crime since 2018. Motor vehicle theft increased the greatest at 114%,
followed by theft at 32%. However other theft was
up 56% from 2021. Meanwhile, instances of criminal sexual assault,
robbery, aggravated battery and burglary have all decreased during the five-year
period. Burglary had the biggest decline with 35% fewer instances in 2022 than
in 2018. Despite a five-year decline in robbery and
burglary, the year-over-year change showed each increased
last year by 14%. Criminal sexual assault and aggravated battery
still recorded declines in the past year. Murders also declined last year by
14%, despite an overall increase of 20% during the five-year period. Crime drives out Chicago residents In 2021, Chicago saw more than
45,000 people stop calling the city their home. New York and San Francisco
both experienced greater populations losses than Chicago, with New York losing
over 305,000 people. But population loss isn’t the only similarity Chicago and
New York share. Both cities had a drop in murders in 2022 compared to 2021.
Yet both cities also had overall crime jump by
over 20%.
illinoispolicy.org Rehabilitating
Seattle’s downtown and improving public safety will continue to be top
priorities for Mayor Bruce Harrell Harrell’s annual
address relied on notions that Seattle as a whole will improve if downtown
becomes more lively and if public safety resources, including
bolstering the Seattle Police Department and finding public safety alternatives,
become more robust — both topics the mayor has emphasized in the past. Harrell said he would use “unabashed
boldness” to revamp the center city, which, like downtowns of most major cities,
has been slow to rebound from coronavirus-related closures and an uptick in
crime. Harrell said, suggesting zoning changes to
allow housing in vacant office buildings (they're all talking about
this btw) and potentially establishing a “24/7 street” (great for
robberies) for late-night businesses. Harrell’s comments on downtown were
promptly lauded by the business community, including the Downtown Seattle
Association, which commended the mayor’s priorities in a statement, adding that
“if downtown isn’t welcoming and safe for all, then everything else falls
flat.” The other major factor in improving downtown, Harrell said, is
public safety. Noting that overall crime was up in 2022, with a
decline in December, Harrell claimed his early approach to public safety — which
has focused on
hot spot policing and
aggressively recruiting more officers — seems to be working. He rehashed
many of his talking points from his campaign and first year in office,
promising more police officers, a crackdown on fentanyl distribution and a
“holistic” approach to public safety. In the next month and will introduce a
suite of legislation to the City Council this year to “[ensure] we are
aligned on the number of officers we need, a comprehensive strategy and a vision
for the future of public safety.” The mayor also expanded on a previous
promise to establish a new public safety department geared toward a nonpolice
response to emergencies, describing for the first time his plan to convert
the Community Safety and Communications Center — which currently directs
911 calls — to a new Civilian Assisted Response and Engagement Department.
seattletimes.com Homicides skyrocketed by 24% while motor
vehicle thefts climbed by 30% in the city last year. Overall crime ticked up
by 4%.
Mayor Bruce Harrell pushed for
increased police presence to curb the issue Tuesday, saying, "We need immediate
action and innovation to respond to our public safety issues… Seattle saw a 4%
rise in reported crime last year… We need more officers to address our
staffing crisis." "The Defund the police movement ruined
Seattle." "If you want to commit a crime, move to Seattle," she said. "The
crime is just getting worse and worse," Piro reported data from Seattle's city's
budget office showing funding for law enforcement increased for the first
time since a major slash was made in 2020. Choe, a reporter from the area, slammed
the "Defund
the Police" movement for being behind the crime rise as well as the "woke"
activist class who he said are perpetuating the problem.
foxnews.com According to a yearly crime report released by the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
king5.com Safeway is appealing the $7,250 in
fines issued by the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA). The fines were levied after an investigation into alleged safety
issues following last summer’s deadly shooting at the store on Bend’s east side. The OSHA investigation was launched
hours after the Aug. 28, 2022, shooting —
based on a tip from an employee. OSHA found that one of the only three back door
emergency exits that night was blocked by hundreds of pounds of drinks and food
on stretcher-sized carts. As the gunfire rang out, security photos showed
that customers and employees attempted to shove the carts clear of the exit,
including a father with his toddler in a shopping cart. The other violation was for failing to review the emergency
action plan with new employees or whenever the action plan was changed. “Safeway
has appealed both OSHA citations related to our Highway 20 Bend Safeway,” a
Safeway spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “The claims brought forth by
OSHA do not have merit nor do they accurately reflect the level of safety and
training standards we have in place to safeguard our associates and customers.” Two people were killed in the shooting. The OSHA investigation found that nothing the store did
contributed to employee Donald Surrett Jr’s death at the back of the store as he
chose to stay and attack the shooter. And customer Glenn Bennett’s death
occurred at the front of the store, seconds after the gunman walked inside. You can watch our full report on OSHA’s findings in

A
recent study set out to determine how
monetary sanctions can affect the likelihood young people will reoffend. Do fees
and fines act as a deterrent, steering juvenile offenders away from future
crimes?
In “A
Statewide Analysis of the Impact of Restitution and Fees on Juvenile Recidivism
in Florida Across Race & Ethnicity,” researchers found that fees
and restitution assessed against young people actually increased juvenile
recidivism in Florida.
This was especially true for Black and Hispanic
youth who received more costly fines, even though both groups had financial
penalties assessed at similar proportions to white juvenile offenders.
“When we think about the criminal justice
system, and we think about helping kids, especially kids, we want to do as
little harm as possible,” lead study author Alex Piquero told The Crime Report.
“That’s the overall goal of the system. And these kinds of punishments aren’t
meeting that objective, they’re having the opposite effect.”
The average dollar amount of fees for Black
youth in Florida was $709.50, $633.33 for Hispanic youth and $426.50 for white
youth. However, restitution payments were relatively the same among the groups.
The overall average of fees assessed in the study was $587.57, excluding young
people who were not assessed any fines. Restitution payments had an average of
$1,864.81.
Fees
were highest for property offenses, felony
or administrative offenses and among youth with higher “risk levels.” But
according to the study, just under 70 percent of the youth sampled in the study
were classified as low risk. So how did those fees impact youth recidivism? According to the report,
19.4 percent of youth who were assigned
fees committed a new crime compared to
15.7 percent who were not charged fees.
Restitution payments had little impact on rates of recidivism. “These fees charged to children
and their families are promoting recidivism instead of rehabilitation,”
said
Sarah Couture, Florida State Director at the Fines and Fees Justice Center. thecrimereport.com MACRO, a $16 million program in the Oakland Fire Department
that began last April with the intention of taking nonviolent, nonemergency
911 calls out of law enforcement’s hands. But they’re also trying to provide
assistance before those calls need to be made. Cities across the Bay Area and beyond are
experimenting with community nonpolice response,
hailed by progressives and police reformists as a pathway for treating those
experiencing crises with compassion, not suspicion. San
Francisco, New York City and Portland have all started pilot programs,
while cities across the East Bay, from Antioch to Hayward, have explored the
addition of mobile crisis teams. In Oakland, though, MACRO often finds itself under scrutiny
from those who had expected the teams to spend most of their time responding to
lower-stakes 911 calls, allowing Oakland police to focus on violent crime. The rest of the interactions were classified as
“on-view” or “self dispatch,” which involve two-member teams driving the streets
and looking for those who need help. A recent impact report released by the program
detailed a case where a person looking to steal from Safeway would have
likely ended up in jail if MACRO had not tracked them down and transported them
to a shelter.
eastbaytimes.com Sean Fieler is right to be concerned about
privacy as we consider a U.S. central bank digital currency (“A
Digital Dollar Would Empower the Fed, Not Americans,” op-ed, Feb. 8), but he
fails to consider the troubling status quo if America doesn’t act to establish
standards and safeguards for the future of money. Payments data is increasingly
centralized in large databases maintained by commercial or government actors,
which creates significant honey pots of sensitive information susceptible to
surveillance and monitoring. Consider that Alipay and WeChat have more than two
billion users transacting within their proprietary databases and that China’s
digital yuan gives the government control over the ledger for its fiat currency.
With digital technology, the question of surveillance, privacy protection and
other programmable features is a matter of policy and design choices.
When considering the future of money, we must soberly
consider the inevitability of a move to digital. This unlocks a great
opportunity to design and implement a future greenback that satisfies
American privacy expectations, including Mr. Fieler’s.

thestar.com Nearly 30 percent of all work happened at home
in January, six times the rate in 2019, according to
WFH Research, a data-collection project. In
Washington and other large urban centers, the share of remote work is closer to
half. In the nation’s biggest cities, entire office buildings sit empty. The share of all work performed at home rose from
4.7 percent in January 2019 to 61 percent in May 2020. Some economists
consider the remote-work boom the greatest change to the labor market since
World War II. Workplace experts say remote work is here to
stay. Workers love it. Employers have learned to live with it. The average
worker saves 70 minutes of daily commuting time by working from home — and
spends almost half of that extra time doing work: a win-win. Much of corporate America has settled on a
weekly formula of three days in the office and two at home
for the hybrid worker. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are popular
choices for trudging into the office. On Fridays, city centers can look like
depopulated ghost towns. The work-from-home movement has reshaped the
largest cities. Only last month, for the first time since the pandemic
began, did the occupancy rate in urban office buildings
reach 50 percent in the 10 largest cities. As of last week, 49 percent of desks sat empty
in Chicago, 53 percent in D.C., 51 percent in New York and
Los Angeles. For some mayors, tax collectors and
downtown businesses, the remote-work boom has seeded
fiscal disaster. New York, alone, “is going to see about $12
billion less in expenditures in downtown Manhattan” because of remote
work, Bloom said. Working from home “means
less consumer spending, and it means less transit use,” in big
cities. The number of CEOs lobbying for a return to
fulltime office work “is dwindling to basically zero,” Bloom said. thehill.com A South Carolina company may have violated the Stored
Communications Act (SCA) when
it accessed a former worker’s private email account after inadvertently
discovering the messages following her termination, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals held Feb. 9 (Carson v. EmergencyMD LLC, No. 22-1139 (4th
Cir. Feb. 9, 2023)). With the company’s approval, the worker used her personal
Gmail account for her job, according to court documents. After she was
terminated, she joined an alleged competitor, and the company and her new
employer filed claims against each other in state court for unfair competition
and misappropriation of trade secrets, court documents said. During the
litigation, the company discovered, reviewed and allegedly printed out emails
from the worker’s Gmail account, which had been left open on the web browser of
a company computer. The emails discussed joining the new employer and
bringing company employees and information with her. The company
published the emails in state court, and the worker sued it for violating the
SCA. A federal district court granted summary judgment to the
company, but the 4th Circuit reversed and sent the case back for trial. The
SCA prohibits intentional and unauthorized access of stored electronic
communications, the appeals panel explained. Here, there was no evidence the
company’s initial discovery of the emails was intentional, but its subsequent
conduct raised jury questions over whether it intentionally accessed the emails
without the worker’s authorization, the panel held. The SCA doesn’t define
“authorization,” but “the term is commonly understood to involve knowing,
intentional action,” the Fourth Circuit said.

Be Proactive About Pending US Federal Data Privacy LegislationWhat the American Data and Privacy Act means for businessesWhether or not ADPPA passes this legislative term, there’s a good chance a similar bill will pass soon The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) is a potential major bipartisan bill that introduces oversight on how consumer data is collected and processed by U.S. businesses. The legislation aims to strengthen data privacy and to provide oversight on how artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are used to uncover insights in the data that can be monetized. The goal of this legislation is to ensure the safety, integrity, and equity of AI algorithms. While the potential legislation is important for protecting individual privacy rights, it will have significant implications for businesses when developing and managing their AI algorithms. The ADPPA is bipartisan federal data privacy legislation that will create an Office of Data Privacy within the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to oversee the way that companies use and collect data. However, the ADPPA is about more than just data — it will also examine AI algorithms to determine whether they’re safe, effective, and non-discriminatory. Companies will have to disclose what data they collect, how they plan to use it, and how long they intend to retain it. The pending legislation is a natural extension of GDPR and CCPA, which many states have already accepted as the standards for data privacy in the United States. It’s important to note that ADPPA won’t just affect large enterprises, it will apply to all businesses of any size. The only businesses that will be exempt from the regulations will be small businesses that for the three years prior to the law's passing have -
Revenue that was less than $41 million a year It is likely that only a small number of businesses will meet all three of these criteria, especially due to the threshold of the record. And even if businesses meet these criteria now, if they have any plans to grow, they will unlikely be able to meet the criteria in the future. This means that most businesses will need to prepare to comply with ADPPA regulations eventually. The ADPPA is necessary because people in the United States are seeing harmful, unintended outcomes from poorly designed AI algorithms. To comply with the ADPPA, organizations must be able to provide complete insight into how the algorithm works, what it’s expected to do, and how it’s trained. Businesses will also need to demonstrate that their algorithms are effective (i.e., they do what they are supposed to do), the costs of fewer data privacy don’t outweigh the benefits, and that the algorithms are safe, non-intrusive, and non-discriminatory. securityinfowatch.com
IBM Report: It Only Takes One Person to Click That LinkPhishing, king of compromise, remains top initial access vector
The consistent ranking of phishing as the most prevalent initial access vector underscores the need for organizations to focus on people, process and technology, according to Stephanie Carruthers, global head of innovation delivery and chief people hacker at IBM Security X-Force Red. “It only takes one person to click that link that could lead to a major compromise,” Carruthers said via email. “And it works because it’s simple and plays on human emotions. That’s a trifecta right there and that’s what’s providing staying power.” Thread hijacking, which involves a threat actor hijacking an email account and responding to email threads pretending to be the original victim, doubled in 2022. The research highlights trends and points of compromise that played out in some of the most high-profile incidents of 2022. cybersecuritydive.com
3 Cybersecurity Trends Shaping Retail in 2023As commerce continues to thrive online, maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture has become crucial for retailer survival. According to publisher forecasts, global security revenues in retail are headed for strong growth in the next few years, from $7 billion in 2019 to $12 billion by 2025. A key threat to this potential is the ever-present possibility of cyber disruption. The retail sector’s goldmine of consumer personal and financial information remains an attractive target for cybercriminals, along with the sector’s widespread digitization in response to changes in consumer buying habits. The proliferation of complex digital supply chains across retail continues to drive retailers’ efficiency, but it also gives attackers more places to hide. But what will keep CISOs in retail awake at night in 2023? Let’s examine three key trends that are likely to dominate. Credential Theft: Attacker Tradecraft
Centers on Identity and MFA Multifactor authentication (MFA) was once considered the key missing piece in the fight against credential theft, but with the recent Uber breach, we saw that MFA can be defeated. It hasn’t taken attackers long to find and exploit weaknesses in MFA, and they will continue to do so in 2023. MFA will remain critical to basic cyber hygiene, but it will cease to be seen as a standalone "set and forget" solution. Questions around accessibility and usability continue to dominate the MFA discussion and will only be amplified by increases in cloud and SaaS along with the dissolution of traditional on-prem networks. Ransomware Rushes to the Cloud Third-party supply chains offer those with criminal intent more places to hide. Targeting cloud providers instead of a single organization gives attackers more bang for their buck. Attackers may even get creative by threatening third-party cloud providers — a tactic which already impacted the education sector in early October. Recession Requires CISOs to Get Frank
