Dallas DA Creuzot Takes Heat from Council Members
Over New Theft Policy
 Dallas
County District Attorney John Creuzot defended his recent decision to stop
prosecuting certain quality-of-life crimes over the objections of members of the
Dallas City Council's Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee on Monday.
The reforms, Creuzot said, are meant to make Dallas a safer, more equitable
city, not to enable those who commit low-level offenses, as critics of the new
policies have accused Creuzot of doing.
Most controversially, Creuzot also plans to decline prosecuting anyone caught
stealing $750 or less worth of necessary personal items, like baby formula,
diapers or food.
"Let me apologize, I can't apologize enough publicly. The way this was written
was confusing and totally my fault," Creuzot said. "This confusion and lack of
understanding — (that's something) I'm going to take personal responsibility
for."

Chicago's Teenage Mob Attacks Designed To
Distract Police
Hundreds of teenagers swarmed city streets
for the second time in a week on Easter Sunday. This time, police arrested 12
people who contributed to the mayhem that clogged parts of downtown.
Experts said the mobs aren’t just disturbances caused by crowds of teens with
nowhere to go. They’re actually diversions to serve as a distraction so crimes
can be committed.
Alderman Brian Hopkins of Chicago’s 2nd Ward says pockets of violence sometimes
erupt within the mobs. Hopkins said groups of teens connect on social media and
make plans to bombard downtown areas together. “They’re trying to get large
groups together so they can hide behind these groups and commit these criminal
acts.”
Hopkins said retail theft in particular spikes during these incidents because
the police are spread thin and store security guards get distracted with the
large crowds.

Police claim IL State's Attorney's Office charges
inconsistently
"They create their own laws at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office,
using their own discretion, with some people questioning if they're actually
legislating at the county level," O'Shea told Wednesday Journal. "The charging
guidelines, the guide they used, is inconsistent with what is in state law. It's
putting agencies [in a position where they're] not able to help victims; they
aren't able to protect."
"They don't want to increase the felony loads in the criminal court room. They
claim they consider retail theft a nonviolent crime in itself," O'Shea said.
"They didn't feel they wanted to approve it based on their agenda."

 Indiana:
Attempts to Amend Public Theft with ORC Bill Fails
A bill that passed the state House of Representatives without dissent Monday
would, in some circumstances, dock the pensions of public officials in Indiana
who are convicted of stealing public funds.
On Monday, House Bill 1192 passed 81-0 through the House and is headed to the
governor's desk. A recent committee discussion on House Bill 1192 underscored
the often last-minute efforts to inject failed legislation into bills that are
still moving through the General Assembly.
House Bill 1323, which died in the Senate, would have enhanced a prison sentence
for someone convicted of theft who sold the stolen items on the internet as a
racketeering enterprise. On April 15, Indiana Retail Council President Grant
Monahan asked committee members to amend 1192 by including 1323. The attempt to
merge the bills failed.
“The bill before you deals with theft. So does House Bill 1323,” Monahan said.
“It deals with a very serious threat that retailers face every day. It’s sort of
what I think as the 21st century version of shoplifting."
Monahan’s suggestion didn’t sway the committee. Committee member Rep. Donna
Schaibley, R-Carmel, said, "1323 is a really good bill, and it’s very
unfortunate it didn’t get heard in the Senate. … These individuals are kind of
targeting Indiana because surrounding states have laws that prohibit this.

Body Cameras for LP Taking Off in UK, Not US Yet
The use of body cameras to protect retail staff, properties and the general
public
The effectiveness of body cameras as law enforcement technology is still subject
to debate. When it comes to store security personnel, however, they could well
be the next big thing.
Walmart’s U.K. supermarket chain Asda began outfitting security guards with
body cameras last year in an effort to protect them from abuse and attack
from the public.
“There’s no doubt that body-worn cameras do have a deterrent effect, and we are
very supportive of such measures aimed at reducing violence, threats and abuse
at work,” says Paddy Lillis, general secretary of the Union of Shop,
Distributive and Allied Workers, headquartered in Manchester, England.
USDAW notes recent reports from the British Retail Consortium, Association of
Convenience Stores and police on the increase of abuse directed toward retail
staff. “Worryingly, 56 percent of shopworkers who experience violence, threats
or abuse at work do not report the incident to their employer, including 22
percent who were physically attacked,” the union says.
The use of body cameras by U.S. businesses, including retailers, hospitals and
sports and entertainment venues, is being discussed; so far there has not
been much movement toward its adoption. Read Hayes, a research scientist at
the University of Florida in Gainesville and director of the Loss Prevention
Research Council, says he knows of only one U.S. retailer currently using
body-worn cameras — he isn’t permitted to identify the company.
Hayes’ team is currently working with a camera provider and a retailer to
develop an experiment where parking lot personnel like security guards and cart
collectors are equipped with body-worn cameras at select stores.

Student sues Apple for $1 billion, claims
face-recognition caused for false arrest
A New York college student filed a lawsuit against Apple for $1
billion, claiming the company's alleged use of facial recognition software in
its stores falsely linked him to a series of Apple store thefts.
Ousmane Bah, 18, claims that he received a summons from a court in Boston saying
that he stole $1,200 worth of
Apple products in 2018, according to papers filed on Monday in Manhattan
federal court.
On the day of one of the thefts in Boston, Bah was attending his senior prom in
Manhattan, according to the court documents. The suit claims Bah was also
falsely blamed for Apple store robberies in Delaware, New Jersey and Manhattan.
Bah says someone must have used his lost ID to pretend they were him after they
got caught stealing merchandise
from Apple. The college student believes that the iPhone giant accepted the
identification and then programmed its security systems to recognize the
perpetrator’s face as Bah’s.

Amazon Opens 11th Go Store in San Francisco
Bezos Talks Go Stores With Shareholders
While not a direct competitor to supermarkets, the Amazon Go format is seen as a
threat to brick-and-mortar food retailers. Published reports have said Amazon Go
may pop up in new types of locations such as airports and expand to thousands of
outlets over the next several years.
In a letter to shareholders last week, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos noted
that the company can leverage its technology prowess to help grow its
brick-and-mortar retail presence.
"For many years, we considered how we might serve customers in physical stores
but felt we needed first to invent something that would really delight customers
in that environment. With Amazon Go, we had a clear vision: Get rid of the
worst thing about physical retail — checkout lines. No one likes to wait in
line. Instead, we imagined a store where you could walk in, pick up what you
wanted and leave.”
“Getting there was hard, technically hard. It required the efforts of hundreds
of smart, dedicated computer scientists and engineers around the world,” Bezos
told shareholders. “We had to design and build our own proprietary cameras and
shelves and invent new computer-vision algorithms, including the ability to
stitch together imagery from hundreds of cooperating cameras. And we had to do
it in a way where the technology worked so well that it simply receded into the
background, invisible. The reward has been the response from customers, who’ve
described the experience of shopping at Amazon Go as ‘magical’.” He added that
he’s “excited about the future” for Amazon Go."
Overall, Amazon’s U.S. physical stores currently include 479 Whole Foods
Markets, 11 Amazon Go convenience stores, 18 Amazon Books stores, three Amazon
4-Star outlets and five Amazon Pop-Up sites. There are also four “Presented by
Amazon” mall kiosks. supermarketnews.com

Is Your Retailer Considering Jumping Into the
Cannabis "Goldrush?"
If So Here's What They're Looking For
5 Key Factors to Consider Before Making a Cannabis Acquisition
Cannabis is near the top of that list for growth industries. In fact, spending
on legal cannabis in the U.S. is expected to increase from the current $12.9
billion to $20.4 billion in 2022.
As legal issues get resolved and public support increases, the cannabis industry
will become increasingly attractive to institutional investors. A recession in
the U.S. could further push more investors into cannabis, chasing yield in the
strongest growth market over the last few years.

FireEye Joins Retail and Hospitality ISAC as
Associate Member
 The
Retail & Hospitality Information
Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC) and FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE) today
announced that the intelligence-led security company has joined the RH-ISAC as
an Associate member. Through this relationship, RH-ISAC’s analysts will have
access to the FireEye® Helix security operations platform, providing deeper
intelligence and analytics to further strengthen information shared by its
members.
As Tommy McDowell, vice president of intelligence for the RH-ISAC, explains,
“Having access to the FireEye Helix platform expands our analysts’ visibility of
threat actors, and provides the opportunity to detect advanced threats and
vulnerabilities – all with the goal of strengthening the defenses of our member
companies and the retail and hospitality industries that we serve.”
“In light of increased browser-based attacks and the continuing evolution of
opportunistic, financially motivated cybercrime actors, our involvement with the
RH-ISAC is another way to demonstrate our support of the retail and hospitality
community,” said Dave Baumgartner, CTO of the Americas at FireEye. “In addition
to enabling the RH-ISAC to stand up its own instance of Helix, we want to play
an active role within RH-ISAC to help strengthen their retail and hospitality
cyber communities. We also look forward to serving as a keynote speaker at the
RH-ISAC 2019 Retail Cyber Intelligence Summit this summer in Denver.”

IC3 Annual Report Released
Report Shows Cyber-Enabled Crimes and Costs Rose in 2018
ICE Recovery Team Success in Recovering BEC Funds
The statistics gathered by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center
(IC3) for 2018 show Internet-enabled theft, fraud, and exploitation remain
pervasive and were responsible for a staggering $2.7 billion in financial
losses in 2018.
In its annual
Internet Crime Report, the FBI reports the IC3 received 351,936
complaints in 2018—an average of more than 900 every day. The most frequently
reported complaints were for non-payment/non-delivery scams, extortion, and
personal data breaches. The most financially costly complaints involved
business email compromise,
romance
or confidence fraud, and investment scams, which can include Ponzi and
pyramid schemes.
“The 2018 report shows how prevalent these crimes are,” said Donna Gregory,
chief of the IC3. “It also shows that the financial toll is substantial and a
victim can be anyone who uses a connected device. Awareness is one powerful tool
in efforts to combat and prevent these crimes. Reporting is another. The more
information that comes into the IC3, the better law enforcement is able to
respond.”
The bright spots reported by the IC3 include the establishment in February
2018 of the Recovery Asset Team and its success in recovering funds lost in
business email compromise scams. These sophisticated scams involve
perpetrators infiltrating businesses’ email accounts and requesting fraudulent
wire transfers or gift card purchases.

Retail & Hospitality ISAC Announces Report:
Anatomy of Account Takeover
The Retail & Hospitality
Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC) today announced that its
Fraud Committee has released Anatomy of Account Takeover (ATO) report, which
provides a holistic overview of the evolving ATO threat and offers best
practices for detection and response.
Key topics covered in the report include:
● Background on ATOs and the impact on the retail and hospitality industries
● Profiles, methods & monetization of threat actors
● Best Practices for ATO Prevention and Detection
“ATO is an ever-increasing cost threat for retail and hospitality companies
worldwide,” said Suzie Squier, president of the RH-ISAC. “As cyber criminals
become more sophisticated with their hacking methods, it is important for
security teams to be vigilant and up-to-date on how best to thwart attackers.
This resource can help organizations effectively adapt their strategies to
mitigate anticipated ATO risk.”

Are You Ready to Manage AI Risks?
Most companies have IT-related risk management programs, but they need to be
updated to include the nuances of AI.
Failure to focus on the potential risks -- and thinking only of the potential
benefits -- is a classic early market symptom of new technology adoption. Later,
when the potential risks become evident, the initial idealism is replaced with a
sound enterprise strategy.
“It's far easier to instill and institutionalize AI-related risk management
processes now rather than rearchitecting everything after something goes wrong,”
said Mills. “If you plan to use AI at enterprise scale, the ideal time to think
about the governance issues is now.” informationweek.com
After
Corporate Acquisitions, Expect Cybersecurity Surprises
For companies making an acquisition, cybersecurity surprises often emerge only
after a deal has been finalized, according to lawyers and cybersecurity
specialists.
Companies typically check during the due diligence process that an acquisition
target is following basic cybersecurity steps, such as training workers to
identify phishing attacks, monitoring for hackers and having written
cybersecurity policies.
But typical cybersecurity due diligence is limited because access is
restricted to keep the deal secret and to preserve the privacy of a target’s
data and systems in case the purchase falls apart. This narrow view means
acquirers don’t really know what cybersecurity problems they might be buying.

Turn Bluetooth Off When You're Not Using
It
There are two reasons you should keep your Bluetooth off when
you are not using it. Bluetooth uses up your battery life, so turn it off
whenever possible to conserve your battery. Turning Bluetooth off when not using
it also minimizes your risk of becoming a victim of hacking via security
vulnerabilities. Attacks like BlueBorne are becoming more common. BlueBorne
could allow any device with Bluetooth turned on to be attacked. The best way to
stay safe is to turn off Bluetooth when not using it. |

Bodybuilding.com discloses security breach
Bodybuilding.com, the internet's biggest online store and online forum for
fitness and bodybuilding enthusiasts, has disclosed last week a security breach
that impacted its IT systems. Customer data might have been exposed, the
company said in a
short message posted on its website. Its staff isn't sure if the attacker
accessed customer data, though.
A third-party security firm was hired to help with the investigation, but
forensics experts couldn't confirm that customer data was stolen from
Bodybuilding.com's servers, either. Bodybuilding.com said investigators
traced the unauthorized activity to a phishing email its staff received in July
2018. At least one employee appears to have fallen for this email.
Hackers used the data they obtained from this phishing email to access the
company's network in February 2019. Bodybuilding.com didn't say when it detected
the intrusion, but it said it finished its investigation on April 12. It went
public with the security breach a week later, on April 19.

Bad bots are responsible for a fifth of all web
traffic
According to Distil Research Lab’s
Bad Bot report, hundreds and billions of “Bad Bots” requests were found.
Moreover, they also enable large scale malicious activity like web scraping and
competitive data mining.
The research released on Wednesday 17th, 2019 mentioned 73.6 percent of bad bots
as “Advanced Persistent Bots.” Although the number of bad bot traffic has shown
a decline over the years; thanks to the sophisticated encryptions, the report
said.
Gaming and gambling also saw a quarter of bad-bot traffic with reported (25.9%).
However, Ecommerce got a surprisingly low percentage with only 18% traffic
coming from bad bots. Malicious activities on e-commerce activities include
credit-card fraud, gift card abuse, and account takeovers.

Phoenix, AZ: 7 year old Child punched for not

Phoenix police officers arrested a mother on suspicion of punching her
7-year-old son in the mouth because he didn't do a good enough job as a lookout
while his grandmother shoplifted at a Walmart store. The boy told police "he was
hit because he didn't watch out for his grandma good enough," documents said.
His grandmother was at Walmart around 8 p.m., Friday, and used the woman's son
as a lookout while she attempted to shoplift, documents said. Officers observed
the child walk out of the store to the parking lot with his mother, identified
as Rebecca Gonzales, 27, where she began "spanking [him], then slapping him and
finally punching him in the face," documents said.

St Louis, MO: Plea deal gives man 14 years for
killing at Sav-A-Lot store
A St. Louis man set to stand trial this week on charges of first-degree murder
and armed criminal action instead struck a plea deal Monday with prosecutors,
his lawyer said. Lamarkis Cowan, 29, pleaded guilty Monday to voluntary
manslaughter in exchange for a 14-year prison term in the December 2016 shooting
death of Kevin Brown. Cowan was originally charged with first-degree murder and
armed criminal action. Authorities said Cowan fatally shot Brown, 20, as Brown
was running away in the parking lot of a Sav-A-Lot after a fight inside the
store. Cowan turned himself in days after the shooting. Cowan would have offered
a self-defense claim at trial this week but that taking the state's plea offer
"was in the best interest of all the parties."

Networking has always been a key to career development and finding that next
job. However, if you're not careful it can also limit you, eliminate you and
even work against you. If your network is comprised of executives doing exactly
what you do, then you may have competition and may even find some working
against you. You've got to broaden and expand your network outside your
immediate group and establish relationships outside your company and your
professional circle. Remembering that quantity is no substitute for quality and,
as in any mutually beneficial relationship, what you bring to the table for them
is as important as what they bring to the table for you.
Just a Thought,
Gus
