Coronavirus Already Taking Big Toll on Urban Malls
Malls in dense, urban locations have in recent years have generally been more
profitable than those in sparsely-populated areas, because foot traffic is
typically stronger. But with the coronavirus spreading at a faster rate in
metropolitan areas, many of these malls are poised to take a big hit. Some
tenants, likely to be hurt by falling foot traffic and by orders from the
authorities to close, may struggle to pay their rent.
Over the weekend, one of the biggest malls in the country, King of Prussia
mall in the Philadelphia area, closed its doors on orders from local
authorities. The most expensive mall ever built in the U.S., American Dream,
which was scheduled to open numerous stores on March 19, said it was closing the
New Jersey retail and entertainment complex from Monday until the end of March
to curb the spread of the virus.
Others, such as Kings Plaza in Brooklyn, New York, are seeing some
tenants such as Charlotte Russe and Aldo, shutter their stores early.

Coronavirus Forces Grocery Stores To Increase Hiring To Keep Up With Demand
Grocery stores across the United States (including Kroger, Costco, Safeway,
Albertsons, H-E-B and more) are hiring more workers to keep up with demand
because of the coronavirus outbreak. Job openings range from overnight stockers
to part-time cashiers. Some stores are also shifting workers to areas that need
more help as panic buying continues to be a problem in many parts of the
country.
Although grocery stores have started to limit purchases of specific items and
have urged customers not to hoard, they are still struggling to keep up with
rising demand. As more cities and states restrict dine-in eating at
restaurants, grocery shopping will increase even more. Long checkout lines
and empty shelves that need to be restocked frequently have forced stores to
ramp up hiring.

Amazon hiring 100,000 new distribution workers to meet online shopping demand
Amazon says the coronavirus outbreak has caused a surge in online shopping, and
now the online giant is adding 100,000 new full-time and part-time positions
across the United States to keep up with the demand.
The jobs will be Amazon's fulfillment centers and its delivery network.
In addition to hiring thousands of new workers, Amazon said it is investing more
than $350 million to raise pay for hourly employees in warehouse and
distribution roles through April. It will pay an additional $2 USD per hour
above the base hourly rate of $15 or more, depending on the region, in the
United States, £2 more per hour in the United Kingdom and €2 more per hour in
many European countries.
The company said it is consulting with medical and health experts on recommended
safety precautions within its facilities, and has implemented "social
distancing in the workplace" and enhanced cleaning.

Coronavirus wreaks havoc on retail supply chains globally,
even as China’s factories come back online
At first, U.S. retailers were most concerned about manufacturing facilities
being disrupted by COVID-19 in China, where the virus originated. Now, in the
midst of a global pandemic, this is a much bigger issue than China. While some
manufacturing operations are getting back up and running, much of the rest of
the world is in distress.
The coronavirus could deal a blow to companies already on the brink of going out
of business. While it may seem far off, the disruption is already starting to
impact the shipment of goods to retailers for the back-to-school season,
analysts say. And if the situation persists, it could end up hitting the
holidays, when many retailers make the bulk of their profits.

Employers Advised to Ponder Worst-Case Scenarios
With the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus,
employers are strategizing on what to do when employees have stopped coming to
work and customers are staying away from their businesses. Their options include
shift reductions, furloughs, reductions in force (RIFs) or even permanent office
or plant closures, all of which raise compliance issues under federal, state and
local laws.
For industries that can't tell employees to work from home, such as
manufacturing, retail, and hospitality, employers may take steps to have fewer
workers in a building at any one time to reduce contagion in the workplace. For
employees who can't work remotely, there are scheduling options "that could
allow you to keep employee density down or that would allow you to accommodate
the same output with a smaller workforce at any one time."
Staggered shifts, for instance, could limit the number of employees interacting
and reduce the likelihood of transmission.
Mass layoffs and business closings might not happen, but if they do?

First private
prosecution for shoplifting brought by a corporate ‘victim’
UK: Walgreens-owner Boots launches landmark legal battle with shoplifter after
police let him off with a slap on the wrist
Boots has made legal history by launching a private prosecution against a
career criminal who police released despite him being caught shoplifting
red-handed.
Nicholas Richards was on a suspended sentence for theft when he was seen taking
170 Pounds worth of Gucci perfume from the chemist’s flagship Piccadilly branch
in the West End of London.
Yet when police officers arrived they told astonished staff it was a ‘civil
matter’ and let Richards go.
The company, which loses up to 12,000 Pounds a week to shoplifting, refused to
let the matter go, however. Instead, it became involved in what is believed to
be the first private prosecution for shoplifting brought by a corporate
‘victim’.

Smart Safes: Cash Security is Store Security
Store security generally focuses on avoiding theft, robbery and shrinkage. One
potentially overlooked but important way to keep your store, customers and
employees safe is to keep your cash safe. One way to do that is to secure the
cash with a smart safe that keeps you connected to your money, while keeping
employees safe.
“Smart safes have the capability to maintain an accurate account of the cash on
hand, complete the end-of-day accounting process, initiate an armored truck
pick-up and provide added security around overall cash handling for employees,”
said Sean Sportun, manager of security and loss prevention for Circle K
Central Canada. “The entire process has made it easier for operations to
control cash losses, but most importantly, it is making the overall store
environment safer for employees and customers.”

Commerce Dept: Retail sales fall 0.5% in February, biggest drop since 2018
Retail sales fell 0.5% in February, the largest drop in more than a year,
indicating that the consumer sector was slowing even before the coronavirus
struck with force in the United States. Economists said they were looking for
even weaker numbers in coming months.
The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that the February drop in sales was the
biggest since a 2% decline in December 2018. Sales had been up 0.6% in January.
Excluding motor vehicles and parts, retail sales were still down a sizable
0.4%.
In a likely sign of things to come, online sales showed a solid gain of 0.7% in
February. Economists are forecasting even bigger demand in this area as
Americans heed warnings to limit activities outside the home to try to halt the
spread of the virus.

FaceFirst, the leading
U.S. computer vision company, continues its work with D.C. lawmakers to
influence future facial recognition regulations.
FaceFirst President and CEO Peter Trepp, traveled to Capitol Hill again earlier
this month to meet with top lawmakers to continue discussions to help get
legislation passed.
FaceFirst has been leading the discussions with congressional lawmakers to
assure regulations are passed with very clear language specifically carved out
for retail loss prevention use while protecting honest consumers' privacy in an
opt-in-only scenario for personalization.
"While
we're seeing rapid market adoption of facial recognition technology, there
remain valid concerns that this technology needs to be regulated and used
responsibly," stated Trepp. "Regulations are necessary guardrails for protecting
privacy, but it's essential that they don't unduly compromise public safety or
stifle innovation."
Due to high levels of recidivism, ORC costs the U.S. retail industry $53 billion
every year according to the National Retail Federation.
Trepp, the author of “The
New Rules of Consumer Privacy: Building Loyalty with Connected Consumers in the
Age of Face Recognition and AI”, continues to be responsive to lawmaker’s
requests for his insight regarding technology and privacy in the modern
marketplace.
His recent meetings included:

● Congressman Will Hurd Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on

Threat Awareness: A Critical First Step in Detecting Adversaries
One thing seems certain: Attackers are only
getting more devious and lethal. Expect to see more advanced attacks.
As security practitioners, it's our mission not only to build the new tools
needed to arrest and detect threats effectively, but to help make sense of the
wide-ranging nature of what constitutes security. That starts with threat
awareness. After all, you can't defend against what you don't understand.
Here are some of the major threat landscape changes we've seen in the last year
and will continue to see this year and beyond.
Evading Security Controls with Automated, Active
Attacks
Automated, active attacks are on the rise. These types of attacks involve
a mix of automation and human-directed hacking to evade security controls.
Attackers in the recent Snatch ransomware attacks, for example, gained access by
abusing remote access services, like RDP, and then used hand-to-keyboard
hacking to complete the attack. Recently, attackers have upped the ante by
exfiltrating data before beginning encryption and rebooting machines into Safe
Mode during the attack in order to circumvent endpoint protection. These
changing attack methods are part of the growing trend of defense evasion and
highlight the need for protection at every layer of the environment.
Raising the Stakes with Ransomware
Ransomware creators know that if they can't get past detection systems, their
operation has little chance of success. Therefore, they're putting a lot of
effort into figuring out ways to evade detection systems altogether. One of the
most effective methods is changing their appearance — often by obfuscating their
code — to disguise their true intent.
Scamming Through Stealthy, Malicious Apps
Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices are rich environments for
attacks. Not only can attackers steal user information and cash or
cryptocurrency, but they can also use mobile devices to gain access to
corporate resources.

How CSOs Can Strategically Keep Security on the Map, Part 1
The high stakes and visibility have forced CISOs to become more calculated,
led to massive increases in funding, and given the CISO a prominent position
in the organization for mitigating risk. In my experience, the CSO can also
become increasingly strategic about physical security and risk mitigation by
following key steps. In essence it requires the CSO to adopt a mindset of
businessperson first, security professional second.
Understand the Key Drivers of Profitability
The drivers of profitability (and market capitalization) might not be obvious to
you, but they are salient to the key business leaders. As a CSO (or ranking
security officer), you need to be a business leader who can connect safety
and security to the organization’s bottom line.
If you haven’t already, you should conduct a detailed assessment of your
organization’s business model, assets and structure – and know how they relate
to physical risk mitigation. There are several places you can gather this
information. Industry/trade publications can be a fantastic source. If your
organization is publicly traded, its 10-K will be instructive – as will the 10-K
of any competitors. You can search for them, along with other public filings,
using the US SEC EDGAR database.
Your colleagues can also provide invaluable guidance. Make sure to speak with
key stakeholders and business leaders at different levels of the organization
and look for any available data to inform your analysis.
Here are some key aspects to examine as part of your analysis.
At a high level, what are the strategic assets
driving revenue or profitability for your organization?
The answer to this question relies on many factors, including the applicable
industry, organizational structure, primary product(s) and market(s) and others.
What are the unique risks faced by your
organization?
Understanding the biggest risk factors to your organization’s bottom line -
both real and perceived - are critical to building a strategic and
successful physical risk mitigation program. A given organization’s risk profile
is determined by the nature, location and categories of its assets: people,
places, products and partners. You should seek to understand the sources of
recurring or acute risk, based on your organization’s characteristics.

Two Tips for Quicker Google Search
Site-specific search is one of my favorites. To find information on a specific
site, simply add “site:url” after your search term. For example, by looking up
“active shooter site:d-ddaily.net” Google would only return results for active
shooter on d-ddaily.net.
My next favorite search shortcut is to search for a file. Let’s say you wanted
to find PDF files about shoplifting. Typing in “shoplifter filetype:pdf” will
return PDFs (not regular web pages) with “shoplifting” in the title. You can
also try “shoplifting filetype:docx” to do the same for Word documents.
This works for publicly available documents only and can be very useful in doing
research. |

Amazon is suspending all shipments other than medical supplies and household
staples to its warehouses amid coronavirus crisis
Amazon is now blocking sellers from shipping non-essential products to its
warehouses in response to the significant increase in orders it's seeing as the
novel coronarvirus spreads across the country.
On Tuesday, Amazon told sellers in an email that it will only accept
shipments of "household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand
products" to its warehouse until April 5 to deal with the high demand
of those products amid the coronavirus crisis.
That means sellers who use Amazon's storage and delivery network for a fixed
fee, through a program called Fulfillment by Amazon, will no longer be able to
ship non-essential products to Amazon. It doesn't affect last-mile shipments of
those products to consumers.
Amazon said in the email that it's now prioritizing shipment in the following
six categories: baby product; health & household (including personal care
appliances); beauty & personal care; grocery; industrial & scientific; pet
supplies.

The Man With 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer Just Donated Them After Tennessee
AG Launched Online Price Gouging Investigation
A Tennessee man had planned to sell his
stockpile at marked-up prices online. Now he is under investigation for price
gouging.
A
Tennessee man who became a subject of national scorn after stockpiling 17,700
bottles of hand sanitizer donated all of the supplies on Sunday just as the
Tennessee attorney general’s office began investigating him for price gouging.
On Sunday morning, Matt Colvin, an Amazon seller outside Chattanooga, Tenn.,
helped volunteers from a local church load two-thirds of his stockpile of hand
sanitizer and antibacterial wipes into a box truck for the church to distribute
to people in need across Tennessee.
Officials from the Tennessee attorney general’s office on Sunday took the other
third, which they plan to give to their counterparts in Kentucky for
distribution. (Mr. Colvin and his brother Noah bought some of the supplies in
Kentucky this month.)
The donations capped a tumultuous 24 hours for Mr. Colvin. On Saturday morning,
The New York Times
published an article about how he and his brother cleaned out stores of
sanitizer and wipes in an attempt to profit off the public’s panic over the
coronavirus pandemic. Mr. Colvin sold 300 bottles of hand sanitizer at a
markup on Amazon before the company removed his listings and warned sellers they
would be suspended for price gouging.
As a result, Mr. Colvin was sitting on an enormous cache of sanitizer and wipes
while much of the country searched in vain for them. The article immediately
sparked widespread outrage, with thousands of people posting angry comments
across the internet about his actions.
Now Mr. Colvin is facing consequences. On Sunday, Amazon and eBay suspended
him as a seller, which is how he has made his living for years. The company
where he rented a storage unit kicked him out. And the Tennessee attorney
general’s office sent him a cease-and-desist letter and opened an investigation.
Tennessee’s price-gouging law prohibits charging “grossly excessive” prices
for a variety of items, including food, gas and medical supplies, after the
governor declares a state of emergency. The state can fine people up to
$1,000 a violation.

Paso Robles, CA: Man starts fire inside Lowe's to distract from theft
Paso
Robles police reported a man who started a fire inside the Lowe's Home
Improvement Center on Golden Hill Road, used the alarms as a distraction for the
theft of a pipe threader. The incident occurred around 8:15 p.m. on Sunday. Paso
Robles firefighters responded to the Lowe's for a commercial structure fire.
When they arrived, firefighters said they found a light amount of smoke coming
from the entrance of the building. The fire was fully contained within 5 minutes
of them arriving. Firefighters reported that the building's sprinkler system
really helped in minimizing the growth of the fire which protected the building
and merchandise from damage.
City Fire reported that all of the customers were safely evacuated from the
Lowe's. No one was injured. Firefighters remained on the scene for about 3 hours
to remove smoke and water from the business and Lowe's was able to open for
business the very next morning. During an investigation of the fire, however,
detectives learned that the suspect had entered Lowe's shortly after 8 p.m. and
staged a rolling pipe threader nearby before covering it with a canvas drop
cloth. Once he set the fire and alarms and sprinklers activated, the suspect
pushed the pipe threader out of the store. Police said the suspect was
working with at least three other men in order to complete this theft.

One
man is hospitalized following a shoot-out with Brooklyn Park Police in the
parking lot of Walmart at approximately noon March 16. According to Police Chief

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
Hackensack, NJ: Man threatened to shoot 7-Eleven clerk over request for ID
A man was arrested shortly after threatening to shoot a 7-Eleven employee for
not selling him tobacco products without proper identification, according to
police. Tyreek Davis, an 18-year-old from Columbus, Ohio, who was visiting his
mother in Hackensack, entered the convenience store on Essex Street on Friday
and asked for "a tobacco product," said Capt. Darrin DeWitt, which led to an
argument between Davis and the clerk when he was asked for identification. Davis
allegedly left the store to retrieve a handgun from his car, then banged it on
the store's window, cocked it and urged the employee to "come outside,"
according to a statement from the clerk, who added that Davis said he would kill
him.

The references you use are a reflection of you and those that you select should
be well thought out and be able to truly give an accurate picture of your work
performance and your accomplishments. The best references come from the
Operators you've worked with, who are in actuality your customers. These
Operators can add more value in your search process than you think. They too
have a network of friends and colleagues in the business that stretch well
beyond your normal circle of executives. Obviously the list of references you
develop over time requires followup and contact. So keep in tuned to their
movement as well and always be able to find them for they may be the key to your
future success in more ways than one.
Just a Thought, Gus
