#MeToo Called for an Overhaul. Are Workplaces
Really Changing?
Women have spoken. Men have fallen. Corporations are nervous. But are American
workplaces making real progress in curbing sexual harassment?
Five months after allegations against Harvey Weinstein led to the mass baring of
past secrets, the focus is turning to the future. Government is stepping up
efforts: In Washington, the House of Representatives is preparing to train every
worker, down to the most junior intern, and state legislators across the country
are proposing ambitious new laws. Corporate boards and investors from Wall
Street to Silicon Valley are going on the offensive, probing for problems to
avoid being surprised. Entrepreneurs are developing apps and programs to help
victims discover if their harassers have targeted others. Women in
entertainment, advertising and other industries are demanding fundamental
shifts, including more females in leadership roles.
The #MeToo moment has shifted social attitudes, inspired widespread calls for
change and resulted in unprecedented accountability. But the revelations about
the pervasiveness of harassment — and of the legal and institutional failures to
address it — illuminate how tough it will be to extinguish.

Putin Says Deadly Mall Fire Due To 'Criminal
Negligence'
Thousands in Russian city rally after shopping mall fire
Guard Turned Off Alarm - Fire Exits Blocked
Thousands of angry residents are rallying in the Russian city of Kemerovo to
demand a full probe following a fire in a shopping mall that killed at least
64 people, many of them children.
NPR's Lucian Kim reports from Moscow that many of the city's residents believe
that the authorities are lying about the death toll — that it is actually
much higher than reported.
The blaze engulfed the Winter Cherry mall in Kemerovo on Sunday, the first
weekend of the school recess, trapping dozens of parents and children.
Eyewitnesses reported that fire alarms were silent and many doors were locked.
Some were quick to blame lax regulations on Russia’s fire safety inspection
authorities, who have been accused of taking bribes to turn a blind eye to
breaches.
Investigators said fire exits were blocked and the fire alarm system was
switched off by a security guard shortly after the fire broke out.
Four people were arrested and questioned by police on Monday, including the head
of the company responsible for servicing the fire alarm system and the technical
director of the company that owned the shopping centre.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who made a surprise visit to the city, blamed
the deaths on Sunday on "criminal negligence, sloppiness."
The Times writes that Russian media outlets were considering three
theories as to how the fire started – an electrical short-circuit, arson by
teenagers or "an accident involving candles lit during a children's birthday
party."

4 Trends Driving Security Operations Centers
How the SOC Creates Customer Confidence
The Security Operations Center Gains Prominence
A key factor in establishing trust is the presence of a Security Operations
Center (SOC). This is true whether the SOC functions internally or is provided
by a third party, such as a managed security service provider (MSSP).
This team monitors, detects, investigates and responds to cyber threats around
the clock. The SOC is charged with monitoring and protecting many assets, such
as intellectual property, personnel data, business systems and brand integrity.
This includes the connected controls found in networked industrial equipment.
The SOC assumes overall responsibility for monitoring, assessing and defending
against cyberattacks.
SOCs have grown in importance due to four primary trending needs:
Departmental collaboration: It’s more important than ever that
organizations maintain an environment where skilled people with the right tools
can react quickly and collaborate to remediate system-wide as well as local
problems.
Cross-functional collaboration: People and cybersecurity tools must work
together with other critical IT functions and business operations. These
departments align with business objectives and compliance needs for a
high-performing operation that is efficient and effective.
Company-wide coordination and communication: As a security event takes
place, it’s essential that there’s a centralized team to communicate with the
rest of the organization and ensure efficient resolution. In turn, it’s also
important that the organization knows who to turn to in the event of an
incident.
A holistic view: A view of all digital assets and processes that is
centralized and real-time makes it possible to detect and fix problems whenever
and wherever they occur. Centralization is critical for IoT systems. The sheer
number of devices and the likelihood that they are widely dispersed make local
monitoring impractical and inconsistent.
As security operations have changed, the associated job roles and
responsibilities have evolved as well. Having the right team with the right
skills in place is essential to optimizing an organization’s front-line defense.

Inside the 2003 Kidnapping of Sears CEO Eddie Lampert
At 7:30 P.M., on January 10, 2003, the Friday before the week during which the
finishing touches were to be put on the Kmart reorganization, Lampert went to
get his car in the garage of his Greenwich office building. Suddenly he was
shoved into the backseat of a rented black Ford Expedition sport-utility vehicle
and driven, blindfolded and handcuffed, to a Days Inn, 55 miles away in Hamden,
Connecticut. Four young men held him hostage for the next 28 hours in a
$49-a-night room. They told him that unnamed AutoZone officials had offered
to pay them $3 million to murder him, and they taunted him with a shotgun.
On Saturday morning, two of the kidnappers used Lampert’s credit card to go on
an $800 shopping spree for electronics equipment.
Lampert and two of the kidnappers, who had stayed behind at the Days Inn to
guard him, settled on a $5 million payoff. On Sunday, at around two A.M.,
one of the kidnappers drove him back to Greenwich and let him out on a highway
off-ramp to get the money, according to published reports. Why they would have
made such a stupid move has not been answered until now. Tracing the
stolen-credit-card transactions (the kidnappers had also purchased a pizza with
one), police arrested four local men soon thereafter: Renaldo Rose, a
24-year-old ex-Marine; Shemone Gordon, 23; Devon Harris, 19; and Lorenzo Jones,
17.
In the years since, Lampert has not talked publicly about the kidnapping, nor
have the more puzzling aspects of the case been cleared up. When I asked him
about it, he frowned. “You’re not going there, are you?” he says. “I don’t
really want to talk a lot about it for a lot of reasons, but I know it’s not an
unimportant event.” All he’ll say is that the experience was “not good” and
“they could have made a different decision—let’s put it that way.” Did it
change your life? I asked him. “Yeah, yeah,” he says. “I’m just not comfortable
talking about it.”
Renaldo Rose, the ringleader who was sentenced to 15 years in prison but
released early in July 2016, dismisses the idea of the AutoZone executives
offering $3 million for Lampert’s murder as the fabrication of one of his
cohorts. But he recalls an intriguing exchange that he says took place between
Gordon and Lampert:
“I heard Eddie. I heard some of the discussions, because there was even a
discussion when it came to him buying Kmart. He was asking questions such as
‘When I get out of here, do you think I should do it?’ . . . He said he felt
that Kmart was tied up with something with the Mob or Mafia. They used it as a
piggy bank. That was the first time I’d ever heard. I’m like, ‘S***. The
Mafia is still around?’ But he was really hesitant about doing it.” (Through his
spokesperson, Lampert denies he made such comments.)

Tenn.
- Taking a closer look at organized retail theft to fund addiction
Bane says TN Senate Bill 1717 will focus on ways to locate and identify and
punish individuals responsible for organizing, supervising, financing, or
managing activities of one or more people guilty of organized retail crime.
Bane says the need for the bill stemmed from a growing number of substance
abusers who are stealing merchandise from local businesses only to return the
merchandise afterwards for gift card credit. The gift cards are then sold to
other businesses or individuals for cash, which is used by the substance abuser
to purchase illegal opiates.
According to Bane, organized retail crime in Tennessee is causing a loss in
sales tax estimated at roughly $14 million.

In-N-Out Burger Files Restraining Order Against Prankster Claiming To Be CEO
In-N-Out Burger wants a restraining order against an online prankster who walked
into two of its restaurants in the San Fernando Valley posing as the company’s
CEO, loudly argued with employees and in one instance took a hamburger from a
customer, threw it to the ground and stepped on it, claiming it was “garbage.”
The Irvine-based chain’s lawsuit seeking the order was filed Friday, March 23,
in Los Angeles Superior Court against Cody Roeder, who posts videos on YouTube
as Trollmunchies. Similar prank disruptions featuring Roeder have been recorded
at Taco Bell and the Ralphs supermarket chain.

Why Walmart Is Testing Robots In Stores—and
Here's What It Learned
Every day, one of Walmart’s
robots rolls down every aisle three times to check that over 150,000
products are where they should be on store shelves. The robot will keep a record
whether there isn’t enough toilet paper, or if an item doesn’t have the right
price tag. From there, a human store clerk will either re-stock the aisle or put
the right price tag on the product, because the robots are not physically
capable of doing so.

Connecticut man pleads guilty to multi-million dollar
fencing operation on eBay
A North Haven man faces up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to
federal charges related to his role in a large-scale fencing operation,
according to authorities. Paul William Muzyka, 48, entered his plea in Hartford
Superior Court on Friday, U.S. States Attorney for Connecticut John H. Durham
announced in a press release.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Muzyka helped operate
a licensed secondhand store, Ace Amusements, located at 42 Kimberly Avenue in
New Haven.
"At Ace Amusements, Muzyka and others knowingly purchased stolen property from
'boosters,' who typically were shoplifters with opioid addictions," according to
a press release from the U.S. States Attorney's Office. "The boosters stole the
goods from retail stores such as Home Depot, Walmart, Target and Kohl's, and
sold the goods at Ace Amusements for approximately one-third of their retail
prices. Muzyka and others then resold the stolen goods at Ace Amusements, and
also online at websites such as eBay. The loss attributed this scheme exceeds
$5.9 million."

2017 Lessons Learned
The Facts Are That You Will Be Breached
Prevention Security & Smarter Detection & Rapid Response Models
"The smarter organizations have been moving away from a misplaced hope of
complete breach prevention (that is impossible) to a combination of prevention
security measures with smarter detection and rapid response."
"Equifax was one of the best examples that I can remember of how not to
handle a major security breach" - No Response Plan
"From the initial failure to patch an
ultra-critical website flaw to the bungled roll-out of the site to check if
you were impacted by the breach, calling this breach a dumpster-fire is a
disservice to dumpsters. Equifax needed a tested, rehearsed incident response
plan. It's obvious they didn't have one."
"Another lesson is that more intelligence is needed to pick your battle -- which
vulnerability absolutely must be fixed NOW and which ones can be left for
later," Chuvakin said. "This will make the attacker work harder, hence
increasing the chance of detection."
Uber's third-party cloud based service breach - Coming in the back door
"Uber's disregard for the well-being of their customers seems to be superseded
only by their disregard for the well-being of their drivers," Austin said. "The
next time a company has a security breach and covers it up, I'm calling it
Ubergate."
The company allegedly paid hackers to delete the data and keep the breach quiet.
"Believe it or not, Uber may be in more legal trouble than Equifax," Austin
said. "If Uber is found guilty of knowingly violating the breach notification
laws in 48 out of 50 states, we could be looking at an Al Capone situation here.
He was only convicted on tax evasion, but they still put him away for life."
Verizon security lapse exposes customer info - Finding the weak leak
In July, Verizon confirmed that
6 million customers had their personal data exposed because of a
misconfigured Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service bucket leak.
"First, we learned as consumers that we can't trust the custodians of our
personal data (like name, passwords, email addresses) to protect and secure it
properly."
"Second, we learned that very advanced threat actors are conducting crimes
against companies like Verizon and others, not only for financial gain, but also
to help adversarial nation states who use their platforms for their nefarious
purposes," Litan said. "Third, we learned that companies are not employing
strong enough security governance processes and technologies to keep the bad
guys out." techtarget.com
Walmart Files Patent For Drone Customer Service
In Stores
In a new twist aimed at customer service, Walmart has filed a patent for drones
to aid shoppers in stores.
A shopper would use a mobile phone or a device provided by the store to summon a
drone, which the consumer could then direct to do a price verification of a
product or have the drone provide navigation assistance.
Different types of drones with different features, such as display screens and
visual projectors, could be deployed to perform different types of tasks
associated with providing assistance to a shopper, according to the filing. mediapost.com
Cloud Security Concerns Surge
While adoption of cloud computing continues to surge, security concerns are
showing no signs of abating. After several years of a downward trend, 90% of
cybersecurity professionals confirm they are concerned about cloud security, up
11 percentage points from last year’s cloud security survey. The top cloud
security challenges are protecting against data loss and leakage (67%), threats
to data privacy (61%) and breaches of confidentiality (53%).
A lack of qualified security staff and outdated security tools are significant
obstacles to enabling a secure cloud posture at many enterprises. Only 16% of
organizations report that the capabilities of traditional security tools are
sufficient to manage security across the cloud, which is a 6% drop from 2017. A
full 84% say traditional security solutions either don’t work at all in cloud
environments or have only limited functionality.

AI: Revolutionary Technology but a Big Business Risk
A
paper released on Thursday by Allianz, the world’s largest insurer and a
manager of some $2.2 trillion in assets, offers a stark portrayal of how the
development of AI could go spectacularly wrong.
There are frightening implications for information security. While AI
can be used to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, the opposite is also possible.
“AI could facilitate serious incidents by lowering the cost of devising new
tools and weapons to launch attacks,” the paper points out. “AI could even be
used in the future to weaken cyber defense mechanisms by utilizing social
engineering to psychologically manipulate people into performing [certain]
actions or divulging confidential information.”
Even a slight, unintentional AI error in an internal system could quickly
escalate into a major problem that damages a company’s reputation and bottom
line. A programming error could be replicated on any number of machines, leading
to an unforeseen accumulation of losses.

How hackers are hijacking your cell phone account
Fraudsters have figured out how to break in to online accounts protected by
two-factor authentication, where the authenticating device is your mobile phone.
They don’t steal the phone; they simply hijack the phone number. This enables
them to intercept those one-time verification codes sent to that mobile number
by text, email, or phone call.
Armed with their victim’s personal information, such as date of birth and last
four digits of their Social Security number - information that is widely
available on the dark web - these identity thieves trick the wireless
carriers into transferring (or porting) their target’s phone number to a new
account or device they control. That’s why this is called the “port-out”
scam.
Mobile phone hijacking is on the rise.
Reports of this crime to the Federal Trade Commission more than doubled
between 2013 and 2016, from 1,038 incidents to 2,658. These complaints
“represent only the tip of a much larger iceberg,” the FTC noted.

Return Fraud And Fake Receipts Up for Sale On
The Deep & Dark Web
Many online retailers have implemented generous refund or replacement
policies to help improve the customer journey and generate loyalty, but
unfortunately, these policies can be susceptible to various forms of
merchant abuse.
Refund fraud is a pervasive form of merchant abuse in which an actor purchases a
product from an online store and has it shipped to their home or a drop site.
After delivery, the actor falsely claims that the product never arrived,
prompting the company to issue a refund. Thus, the fraudster receives their
chosen product at no cost.
Research shows that
online retail businesses lose approximately 500,000 UK pounds per month due
to fraudulent refunds. The potential loss when you take into consideration
fraudulent vouchers, fake goods and account take over, almost doubles.
Refund fraud is openly discussed on the underground forums and marketplaces
of the Deep & Dark Web (DDW), where illicit vendors offering fraudulent
refund services are commonplace.
As analysts of business risk intelligence, we have observed numerous vendors
advertising fraudulent receipts for sale on the DDW. These actors are capable of
producing counterfeit receipts in a variety of formats, including physical store
receipts, packing slips, and digital receipts.
Fake receipts typically target retailers that sell technology products, and
they are often available for less than $10 USD per receipt. However, fake
receipt vendors are often capable of targeting a variety of companies and
are able to adjust their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) in
response to customer concerns and demands.

Amazon Shoppers Concerned About Counterfeits
More than half say they’re at least somewhat worried
Amazon has dealt with sales of counterfeit goods on its site for some time, and
despite its efforts to thwart third-party knockoffs, some consumers remain
cautious.
In a February 2018 survey conducted by
Survata for
CPC Strategy, nearly
six in 10 US Amazon buyers who had made a purchase on the site in the past six
months said they're somewhat concerned about counterfeit products on Amazon.
Meanwhile, a smaller but still significant share of respondents (14.4%) said
they were very concerned about this issue. More than four in 10 respondents had
unknowingly bought a fake good from an online marketplace.

Facebook Adds Machine Learning to Fraud Fight
Machine learning tools will assist trained human reviewers who Facebook says
block millions of fake accounts at the time of registration every day.
In the giant news shadow created by Cambridge Analytics, it can be easy to
forget that Facebook-based basic financial fraud victimizes thousands of people
every year. Today, Facebook announced that it is enlisting machine learning
tools to help battle the criminals.
The new tools will be largely tasked with fighting fake accounts used to commit
fraud. While there are a number of techniques being used to identify fraudulent
accounts, in a blog post Facebook wrote that the company looks for "instances
where people are reaching out to others far beyond their typical network of
connections, or in unusually large volumes, along with other behavior patterns."

Fairfax, VA: Toys R Us employee stole over
$100,000 of merchandise, Sold Them on Ebay
A former Toys R Us employee is accused of stealing more than $100,000 worth of
toys and other merchandise, and reselling it on eBay. Obaid Sheikh, 25, worked
at the Toy R Us at the Fair Lakes shopping center in Fairfax, Virginia. He has
been charged with embezzlement, selling stolen property and conducting an
unlawful financial transaction.
Mike Monaghan, the store Asset Protection manager, began an investigation into
thefts at the store last October, a search warrant affidavit revealed. He
discovered that toys marketed as "Toys R Us exclusives" were being sold by an
eBay account. Monaghan tracked the eBay account to Sheikh, an employee who had
been working at the Fair Lakes store for four years. His eBay account had
generated $123,000 in revenue with sales of nearly 3,000 items, court documents
say. When Sheikh was confronted, he admitted he'd taken the items out of the
store through the back door and put them in his vehicle's trunk, a search
warrant says.

Chasing Rabbits: Focus and Productivity
We all sometimes feel like we're doing too many things at once. We have so many
ideas and not enough time to put them all into action. According to an old
Chinese proverb: A man who chases two rabbits catches neither. Here's how you
can keep focused and be productivity.
Avoid piling on
Want to Be More Productive? Start Thinking Like a
Wild Animal
Wild wolves, lions and hawks focus all their attention and brain power on making
their kill. Our human minds continuously wander back and forth throughout the
day, affecting our focus and productivity. Here's how you can stay present and
tap into your inner lion.
Reset your brain with music
This is How You Protect Your Productivity and
Eliminate Distractions
When trying to bring new ideas to life, there are various phases we go through:
preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. Here's how to cultivate
work rituals based on which phase you're in, and how they can boost
productivity.
Know thyself
Taming The Epic To-Do List
The to-do list can be an indispensable tool for keeping our mind focused on what
needs to get done, and to help us manager our time. But we can also become
unwilling servants to the to-do list. To tame your list, and make it work for
you, the first step is to be clear on what job you want your list to do for you.
Here's how master and tame your own list.

Tip of the Day
Sponsored
by Vector Security Networks
|
Sometimes you've just got to draw the line on what advice to follow and who you
ask. Certainly getting advice is important on any issue or decision. But at the
end of the day you've got to own your own decision and listen to the bird on
your shoulder. We all have one and oftentimes it's muted by our friends and
family members. At 5 am staring into that mirror is usually when the bird
whispers the clearest. The only problem then is if you don't hear it because
you're not listening.
Just a Thought,
