IL DA Removal
Dallas DA: Won't Prosecute Shoplifting
Under $750 Unless Financial Gain
Texas Police Union Calls For DA's Removal Over
His Plan Not to Prosecute Certain Crimes
A statewide police union, one of Texas' largest, called Wednesday for the
removal of Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot,
who last week announced plans not to prosecute certain low-level crimes. Austin
police Sgt. Todd Harrison, president of the Combined Law Enforcement
Associations of Texas, said in a written statement that Creuzot's plan was
"unacceptable."
"When he was campaigning for the office, we don't remember not prosecuting crime
as part of his platform," Harrison said in the statement.
Creuzot, a Democrat who took the post in January, has said his office would no
longer prosecute most first-time marijuana offenses and theft of personal items
worth less than $750, unless the theft was for financial gain. Creuzot said in a
statement Wednesday afternoon that his new policy not to prosecute thefts of
personal items under $750 was based on research that shows that people who
steal necessities like food or diapers "do so out of hunger and poverty."
"This policy was created to help address poverty-related problems, and combat
the misuse of resources and taxpayer money," he said.
Sgt. George Aranda, a Dallas police officer and president of the Greater Dallas
chapter of the National Latino Law Enforcement Organization, said in a statement
Wednesday that he was disappointed that Creuzot "has opened up many windows
to allow the common criminal to feast on the business retail community."
The district attorney said in his statement Wednesday afternoon that some people
had misinterpreted what he meant by not prosecuting thefts of personal items
under $750. "Personal items are limited to necessity items," he wrote in the
statement. "Personal items would include items such as necessary food, diapers
and baby formula." He said anyone who shoplifts for economic gain will still be
prosecuted.
Dallas police said in a statement that members of the department were "concerned
about the proposed changes," but declined to comment further until after
Creuzot's scheduled presentation about his plan to Dallas' Public Safety and
Criminal Justice committee on Monday.
The Texas Municipal Police Association and Dallas Police Association announced a
joint news conference at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, where the groups will voice their
opposition to Creuzot's plan. The groups believe his plan to stop prosecuting
theft under $750 will put Dallas County families in danger and "escalate
criminal activity."

Dallas County DA Says It’s Still Not OK to Steal
Limbaugh Nails Dallas DA
Steal $750! Dallas Defines Deviancy Down
When Does This Stuff Stop
The Dallas county DA, John Creuzot, says criminalizing poverty is not good for
the community’s health and safety, so he’s not going to go after people who
steal personal items up to a total of $750. So he has just granted a license for
anybody in Dallas, Dallas County, go out and steal whatever you want up to 750
bucks, you will not be prosecuted, you will not be charged, unless there is
evidence that the theft was for economic gain. How are we gonna define economic
gain? How are we gonna define that?
So the Dallas DA thinks prosecuting theft is now prosecuting poverty. So he
ain’t gonna do it anymore. Can you imagine the criminal community in Dallas? Can
you imagine the scams they’re planning? You’re gonna have community gangs of 10
to 20 guys, okay you handle that 750 worth, you handle this 750 worth and we’ll
get our whole commune here stocked and we’ll do it every month.
I mean, how many times can you steal say 600 bucks worth of stuff and not get
prosecuted. You get to do it every day, you get to do it every month. How often
do you get to do this? So they can now rob a business of $750 worth of
consumable goods, necessary items, and walk away scot-free even if they’re
caught simply by claiming poverty. All right. When does this stuff stop? When
does someone come along, reverse it?

Goodwill Seattle LP Effort - Public Defenders
Critical Review
Seattle charges people for stealing from Goodwill more than any other retailer
Almost 1 in 3 Are Homeless
Between November 14, 2017, and November 14, 2018, the City of Seattle prosecuted
more people for stealing from Goodwill than any other retailer.
Counter to Goodwill’s mission to help low-income people find opportunity, an
analysis of Seattle theft data also shows that Goodwill’s choice to pursue
charges against people shoplifting for survival cycles many homeless people back
into the criminal justice system: More than 29 percent of the people charged for
stealing from Goodwill told security guards they were homeless or had a shelter
listed as an address. More than half spent time in jail as a result.
There's also a racially disproportionate result: Almost 22 percent of Goodwill
defendants are black, even though black Seattleites make up less than 7 percent
of the city population.
“Taxpayers basically subsidize Goodwill’s recovery of a $7 pair of socks that
they already got back to the tune of several thousand dollars-worth of money
spent on prosecutors and courts and jail,” said James Carr, a public defender in
Seattle. “It's just absurd.” kuown.org

Is AI Being Over-Hyped in Security?
Industry sees great potential for AI within security
This month’s news poll gauges where we are today with AI in security and what
the future holds for this technology.
When asked if they think the concept of AI is being over-hyped and over-promised
in security today, most respondents agreed, with 34 saying “yes” and 38 percent
saying “somewhat,” and the remaining 28 percent saying the tech is not being
overhyped.
“I believe companies are using the phrase AI as a sales feature but not really
leveraging it like it is in other sectors,” said one respondent. “In the video
market I believe there is good headway being made and facial recognition, search
by face and smart analytics has been making good progress. However, in the rest
of the security field I have yet to see a good actionable application of AI.”
When asked how long it will take for AI to be leveraged within security, the
majority of respondents feel it will happen “within the next few years,” while
19 percent said, “we are still 5-10 years out” and 3 percent saying they “don’t
see it happening.”

Longest Death March in Retail
Sears Sues Ex-CEO Eddie Lampert, Claiming He
Stripped Assets and Left It Broke
Sears Holding Corp. sued Eddie Lampert, his hedge fund ESL Investment Inc. and
various directors of ESL and Sears in a lawsuit accusing them of siphoning away
billions of dollars worth of assets as the company racked up huge losses.
The lawsuit alleges the hedge-fund manager and the company's board directed
Sears's executives to produce rosy financial projections predicting a big
turnaround while the company accumulated over $7 billion in losses from 2011 to
2014.
The bad-faith financial projections paved the way for the transfer of five major
assets worth over $2 billion to Mr. Lampert and other ESL directors, including
Land's End Inc., Sears Hometown Outlet Inc., among others.
Editor's Note: Fact is a number of prominent retail leaders predicted this
long ago.

Retail sales post biggest gain in 1.5 years,
point to rebounding economy
Retail sales jump 1.7% in March as most stores cash in
Retail trade sales (excluding food) rose 1.7% from February and 3.5% year over
year, the U.S. Department of Commerce said on Thursday. Excluding fuel and auto
sales, retail sales rose 0.9% from February and 3.6% year over year,
according to the report.
Most segments, including many that had declines last month, saw month-over-month
boosts. From February, furniture sales rose 1.7%, electronics and appliance
sales rose 0.5%, health and personal care store sales rose 0.2%, general
merchandise store sales rose 0.7% and apparel store sales rose 2%. Department
store sales were flat from February, while sporting goods, hobby, musical
instrument and book stores were down 0.3%.
Nonstore retailers (mainly e-commerce) rose 1.2% from February and 11.6% year
over year, the government said.
What they are saying: “The bottom line is this: fears about the softening
in the economy late last year were overblown. Moran Financial Advisors. marketwatch.com

Lyft Will Begin Enhanced and Continuous Driver
Background Checks
In a blog
post, Lyft announced that it will begin conducting continuous background
checks and enhanced identity verification.
Before giving a ride, Lyft said that all Lyft drivers must pass a criminal
background check that will include a Social Security number trace, a nationwide
criminal search, a county court records search, a federal criminal search, as
well as a U.S. Department of Justice 50-state sex offender registry search. To
remain on the platform, Lyft said that it requires all active drivers to pass
another background check at least every 12 months.
The expansion of the background check process will include criminal monitoring,
Lyft said, to provide Lyft with daily monitoring of its active drivers and
immediate notification of any disqualifying criminal convictions. Any driver who
does not pass both the annual and continuous screenings will be barred from the
platform.
"By expanding its screening solutions through two of the top background check
companies in the country, Lyft is further enhancing its ability to detect
criminal activity and providing an additional level of safety across the
platform," the blog said.
Lyft also announced a new, enhanced identity verification process, combining
driver's license verification and photographic identity verification to prevent
identity fraud on its platform.

DHS Considers Publishing List of Preferred Tech
Vendors
The Department of Homeland Security is considering publishing a list of approved
vendors to help companies protect their products and systems.
The DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, established last
November, has made supply-chain cybersecurity one of its top five priorities
over the next two years, said Matthew Travis, the agency’s deputy director.
“I don’t think the DHS ever wants to be like Consumer Reports, saying buy this
or don’t buy this, but I think [we could publish] a preferred bidders list that
would act like a seal of approval,” he said.
The agency is working on criteria for such a list. One likely element would be
the technology’s provenance, Mr. Travis said.
“A big thing is the legal environment where a product is made—does the
country compel the sharing of information to the government, as is the case in
Russia and China, or does it not penalize those who steal intellectual
property,” he said.
A supply-chain vulnerability can turn millions of smart speakers, for example,
into spying devices, or a fleet of autonomous vehicles into dangerous weapons.
Supply-chain cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important as businesses and
consumers use a range of internet-connected devices, said Michael Siegel,
director of cybersecurity at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan
School of Management.

Why the AI Industry Faces a Diversity 'Crisis'
The under-representation of women and people of color across the field of
artificial intelligence is causing a “diversity crisis” that is contributing to
the creation of flawed systems and technology, according to a New York
University research center
report.
According to the study, about 80 percent of AI professors are men, while just 15
percent of AI research staff at Facebook and 10 percent at Google are women.
Just 2.5 percent of Google’s workforce is black while Facebook and Microsoft are
both right around 4% each – and the under-representation of women of color is
even worse, the report notes. What’s more, “there is no public data on trans
workers or other gender minorities.”
The AI sector needs a profound shift in how it addresses the current diversity
crisis, the study said. "The industry needs to acknowledge the gravity of its
diversity problem, and admit that existing methods have failed to contend with
the uneven distribution of power, and the means by which AI can reinforce such
inequality. Further, many researchers have shown that bias in AI systems
reflects historical patterns of discrimination. These are two manifestations of
the same problem,and they must be addressed together."

New Malware Campaign Targets Financials,
Retailers
A new wave of cyberattacks uses legitimate remote access software to take over
user accounts in financial services and retail organizations.
According to CyberInt Research Lab, the attack is using the same tools and
tactics used in earlier campaigns against financial institutions in Chile,
India, Italy, Malawi, Pakistan, and South Korea, and against retailers in the
US.
The cybercrime group behind the attack, TA505, has been active since 2014 and
has been involved in campaigns using Dridex and Shifu banking trojans, as well
as Locky ransomware and the Neutrino botnet/exploit kit. CyberInt says that an
analysis of the code used in all the attacks leads them to believe that the
financially motivated gang is made up of native-Russian speakers.

Formjacking Attacks Rise in the Retail Sector
4,800 Websites a Month - Skimmed
The attacks are spiking as more hackers turn to this efficient way of skimming
all credit card info from e-commerce sites.
The number of formjacking attacks took a big leap in 2018, with more than 4,800
websites compromised every month, according to Symantec's
Internet Security Threat Report, published in February. May alone saw
556,000 attempts, which the report called "an anomalous spike in activity."
In all, Symantec blocked 3.7 million attempts at formjacking last year,
with at least 1 million of those happening in the last two months of the year -
holiday shopping season.
"With data from a single credit card being sold for up to $45 on underground
markets, just 10 credit cards stolen from compromised websites could result in a
yield of up to $2.2 million for cyber criminals each month. The appeal of
formjacking for cyber criminals is clear."

The jury's still out on blockchain as a
payment fraud weapon
Some have hailed the emergence of blockchain technology as a way to secure
e-commerce transactions in a time where massive breaches have exposed
countless individuals to cybercriminals. However, before we put all of our
eggs in the blockchain basket, we need to examine whether the technology is
ready to protect merchants from chargebacks and fraud.
For true fraud, blockchain may play a role in preventing this from occurring
because most true fraud comes from stolen credit cards or identity theft.
Again, since blockchain can provide security for card holder data, it means
that there is a possibility that chargebacks resulting from true fraud and
identity theft can be slowed. Also, when a blockchain payment system is in
place it creates a wall that prevents customer data from being stolen, thus
reducing opportunities for true fraud, which is a welcoming advancement for
merchants.
Unfortunately, with friendly fraud, which is the most pernicious and costly
form of chargebacks for merchants, blockchain is not yet a solution for this
problem. Friendly fraud is out of reach for blockchain at this time because
much of friendly fraud is based on claims that the product purchased didn’t
arrive, or that the order should have been canceled or that a family member
made an unauthorized purchase with the card. Those are very common reasons
for friendly fraud chargebacks, but there is not really a way to use a
payment system to prevent those chargebacks.
Friendly fraud is going to prevail against blockchain because it is caused
by people making false claims that are nearly impossible to verify using any
kind of payment system. It is very challenging and there is no technology
that can predict human emotions that often drive friendly fraud.

Three Truths to Combating Ad Fraud
From invalid ad traffic to illegal bot activity, ad fraud is a pernicious
problem for the entire digital advertising ecosystem. In 2018,
ad fraud topped $15 billion and an
estimated 18% of online ad traffic was deemed fraudulent in late 2018 to
early 2019 when the large-scale scheme,
Drainerbot, was operating at its peak. With estimates of money spent on
fraudulent traffic projected to grow to $44 billion by 2020, the industry
needs to embrace three truths in order to start combating the fraud problem
with the rigor and focus required.
Truth #1: Artificial Intelligence is not a Panacea
Truth #2: Every Player in the Ecosystem Must Contribute
Truth #3: Collaboration is better than Competition to Address Systemic Fraud

Individual growth is an overly used phrase for something that is extremely
difficult to truly accomplish. Corporate America tends to force it faster than
many can absorb. Out of necessity or by design it requires a mental investment
and a conscious effort on the part of the executive to truly grow beyond their
current capabilities. Consequently, growth is oftentimes as a result of direct
force or life-changing events. But it is a necessity if one expects to advance
and stay current with the industry. Technology represents the Loss Prevention
industry's biggest opportunity for growth and if one expects to be a leader
tomorrow it would be wise to grow your technology education.
Just a Thought,
Gus
