 Are Conferences Still
Relevant? The Social Side
Part Three of Three -
By
Amber Bradley
Part One and
Part Two of this series discussed two important factors for loss
prevention executives when deciding which conferences to attend. One, the value,
specificity, and relevancy of the content and two, the ability to peruse and
talk with numerous solutions providers, both veteran and those new to the
industry. Part Three discusses the social side of conferences. As many will tell
you, one of the most important parts of any industry gathering is the
relationships you build and strengthen through spending some quality time with
your colleagues and business partners.
Many solutions providers host specific gatherings in hopes of packing the house.
At RILA this year, the CRAZE was back complete with a “hotsy-totsy” password to
get in to their event. Others, such as PPS (Product Protection Solutions),
treated attendees to an exciting baseball game. These social interactions might
be the unwritten value of conferences, but they are just as important as the
other two. What does your network of professional colleagues look like? Who can
you call if you run into a business challenge for which you need additional
perspectives? RILA provided ample opportunity for the participating exhibitors
to host events and create fun ways for attendees to build their network. This is
another important consideration when selecting what will fill your calendar this
trade show season.
Of course, there is that “other” social network part to discuss; social media.
I’m always fascinated at how many people engage with social media around an
event. RILA provided a very cool App, and attendees were definitely engaged!
Let’s look at some of the social media coverage by you, our readers:

"#MeToo has touched every industry imaginable"
Compliance Challenges Swell With Regulatory & #MeToo the Leading C-Suite
Concerns
Workplace issues are growing increasingly complex amid a growing patchwork of
state and local employment laws and the ongoing #MeToo movement.
That’s according to a survey by Littler, the world’s largest employment and
labor law practice representing management, which found that employers’
compliance challenges swelled on multiple fronts over the past year under
unexpectedly robust enforcement of federal employment laws and a mounting
patchwork of state and local requirements. The “Littler
Annual Employer Survey, 2019” also found that employers are more preoccupied
than ever with preventing harassment and pay inequality in the second year of
the #MeToo movement.
Department of Labor enforcement of federal employment laws topped the list.
The top three areas where respondents expect an increase in workplace
discrimination claims over the next year include harassment claims (61%),
retaliation against employees who file discrimination or harassment claims (49%)
and equal pay (47%).
Employers are taking action to address gender pay equity, with 48% auditing
salary data and pay practices and 24% revising hiring practices.

Update: First City in Nation
San Francisco May Ban City Law Enforcement's Use of Facial Recognition
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to pass the Stop
Secret Surveillance Ordinance.
The plan called,
Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance states, "The propensity for facial
recognition technology to endanger civil rights and civil liberties
substantially outweighs its purported benefits, and the technology will
exacerbate racial injustice and threaten our ability to live free of continuous
government monitoring" and would render police and any other municipal agency in
San Francisco unable to purchase the product.
If it is eventually approved, San Francisco would become the first city in
the nation to make such a move, but it’s not the only Bay Area city moving
in that direction.
“Both the San Francisco and Oakland ordinances do governor data sharing
arrangements and under both of our proposals which are using the same language
the police would not be able to receive that data,” said Brian Hofer, Chairman
of the Oakland Privacy Commission.
Supporters of facial recognition technology say it will help fight crime and
identify criminals.
The ordinance requires public input and the supervisors’ approval before
agencies buy surveillance technology with public funds, including the purchase
of license plate readers, toll readers, closed-circuit cameras, body
cams, biometrics technology and software for forecasting criminal activity
such as gunshot detection hardware and services, says a
news report.

Millions uploaded photos to Ever app
Then the company used them to develop facial recognition tools
“Make memories”: That’s the slogan on the website for the photo storage app
Ever, accompanied by a cursive logo and an example album titled “Weekend with
Grandpa.”
The photos people share are used to train the company’s facial recognition
system, and that Ever then offers to sell that technology to private companies,
law enforcement and the military.
In other words, what began in 2013 as another cloud storage app has pivoted
toward a far more lucrative business known as Ever AI — without telling the
app’s millions of users.
“This looks like an egregious violation of people’s privacy,” said Jacob Snow, a
technology and civil liberties attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of
Northern California. “They are taking images of people’s families, photos from a
private photo app, and using it to build surveillance technology. That’s hugely
concerning.”
Doug Aley, Ever’s CEO, told NBC News that Ever AI does not share the photos or
any identifying information about users with its facial recognition customers.
Rather, the billions of images are used to instruct an algorithm how to identify
faces. Every time Ever users enable facial recognition on their photos to group
together images of the same people, Ever’s facial recognition technology learns
from the matches and trains itself. That knowledge, in turn, powers the
company’s commercial facial recognition products. nbcnews.com
Workplace Emergency Planning is Shifting, But
Employees Don't Feel It's a Priority
The 2019 Workplace Safety and Preparedness Survey from Rave Mobile
Safety discusses the latest state of safety in the corporate environment, as
well as what communication changes companies have made and what shortcomings
still exist from the last year. The survey found that almost 50 percent of
respondents have experienced a severe weather emergency, though more than 47
percent of those surveyed rarely or never tested emergency drills to be better
prepared for the events.
"The survey gives great insight into how employees feel about their level of
safety at work in the event of a possible emergency situation, but also
demonstrates the disconnect that still exists between the communications
channels employers use to inform their employees during emergencies and the way
employees prefer to receive this information," said Todd Piett, CEO of Rave
Mobile Safety. "This year's survey continues to emphasize that more needs to be
done to drive safety awareness in an organization's everyday operations.
Employers must also examine how they can bridge the gap between preparedness
plans and the drills in place and realities of what their workers could
encounter while on the job." securitymagazine.com

New 'Open Security & Safety Alliance' to Create
Standardized Platform
Membership Doubles in 1st Six Months
In the Fall of 2018, five companies — Bosch Building Technologies, Hanwha
Techwin, Milestone Systems, Pelco by Schneider Electric and VIVOTEK, Inc. — came
together for the good of the open platform community, becoming founding
companies of the Open Security & Safety Alliance (OSSA), or simply, “the
Alliance.” Since that time, 15
inventive international players have joined the organization, producing 50
percent growth with initiatives in full swing, which include “publishing
first concepts for new standards and common frameworks from when we can all work
from,” Johan Jubbega, president of OSSA told SSN.
The Alliance is a non-profit corporation founded to bring together like-minded
organizations to create a common, standardized platform accessible to all
security and safety solutions. In just their first six months, the Alliance has
already created a common Technology Stack specification, catering to product and
services innovation to reduce market fragmentation and friction, but there are
more works in progress.

Should Auditors Be Responsible For Catching
Corporate Fraud?
Tensions are running high in the U.K. corporate auditing arena. Amid calls to
break up the so-called Big Four auditors – PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, EY
and KPMG – experts have
raised concerns over why these players were unable to detect and prevent
several high-profile corporate collapses and fraud schemes in recent years.
Doubts over the
Big Four‘s potential conflicts of interest in some cases have further fueled
calls for a breakup.
“For the big firms, audits seem too often to be the route to milking the cash
cow of consultancy business.”
At the same time, there is a growing campaign to expand the role of the
corporate auditor, fueling the divide over how to boost the effectiveness of the
auditing space while promoting competition and limiting conflicts of interest.

ALL-TAG Develops Customizable 31x32 mm SuperLabel Combines Security with
Omni-Channel Marketing
BOCA RATON, Fla. - ALL-TAG,
an American manufacturer of RF Labels, and a leading supplier of AM Anti-theft
Security Tags, Security Labels, and other loss prevention products, announces
the development of a customizable 31x32 mm SuperLabel®, a multi-purpose security
label that will increase source tagging compliance by allowing Consumer Goods
Manufactures (CGM) to promote their brand and enhance merchandising.
ALL-TAG’s customizable security
label offers many printing options, such as brand logos, slogans, and QR
Codes. CGM’s and other retail merchandise vendors that are required to source
tag their merchandise for various retailers can now use the security label as an
additional tool that will keep shoppers informed and ultimately increase sales
of their products.
Our 31x32 mm SuperLabel is also equipped with patented technology that boosts
the detection performance of the label. Therefore, users of this smaller label
will not be sacrificing performance. The smaller footprint allows it to fit on
more retail product packaging, does not conceal important printed content on the
outside of the packaging.
“We’re thrilled to have added new machines in our South Florida factory that
enable us to produce this product in the US,” commented ALL-TAG’s Vice President
of Sales, Andy Gilbert.
“Source taggers can now satisfy their source tagging requirements, but also make
the security label work for them as well.” Gilbert continued, “This is a win for
everyone because it will increase source tagging compliance, decrease shrink,
and increase sales all at the same time.”
To find out more about the product listed in this release, please visit

U.S. Attorney Announces Charges Against
Multimillion-Dollar Business Email Compromise Syndicate
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), announced today the unsealing of an
indictment against four defendants charged with conducting a wide-ranging
business email compromise fraud scheme.
“As alleged, these four men and others engaged in a profitable charade,
posing as legitimate business counterparties to their victims, whom they
deceived into sending them millions of dollars. Now, thanks to the FBI, the
defendants are no longer in a position to defraud anyone.”
FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said: “The subjects in this
alleged scheme made it look so realistic that they were able to maintain it
for several years, stealing millions of dollars from the victims. The
defendants defrauded numerous victims of millions of dollars during the
period from 2016 through July 2018.

3rd Party IT Exec "Declared Cyber War on Grainger
Out of Spite”
Former IT 3rd Party Contractor Gets 3 Yrs Fed. Prison - Hacking Servers
EDWARD SOYBEL, 35, of Chicago, illegally accessed the servers of Lake
Forest-based W.W. Grainger Inc., on multiple occasions in late 2016. Soybel
intentionally caused damage to Grainger’s automated inventory management
program, which operates on-site dispensing machines for customers throughout
the United States.
Soybel remotely broke into the computer system by stealing and then using his
former co-workers’ usernames and passwords. Once inside the network,
Soybel deleted millions of database records and reset the passwords.
The deletions caused outages of the system, locked out users, and temporarily
impaired the dispensing machines nationwide. Soybel’s attacks began in July
2016 and continued for several months. Grainger incurred at least $300,000 in
costs responding to the cyber-attacks.
Soybel has been in custody since December 2018, after he recorded a video of
himself issuing threats of violence to law enforcement.

Top 3 Retail Cyber Targets
Hijacking Sites - Targeting Rewards - POS Data
Study: Cybercriminals shift approach to retail
According to the
2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 97% of 234
analyzed cyberincidents in the retail industry (139 with confirmed data
disclosure) were financially motivated. The remaining 3% were committed for fun
or espionage purposes.
One of the biggest developments tracked by the DBIR is a movement away from
“card present” attacks on physical card payments. POS compromises represented 6%
of retail incidents in 2018, compared to 63% in 2014. The percentage of
incidents represented by payment card skimmers fell to 3% from 6% in the same
time period.
56% of breaches took months or longer to discover.
However, cyberattacks involving web applications comprised 63% of
incidents in 2018, compared to 5% in 2014. Privilege misuse increased to 10%
of incidents from 3% in the same time period. This shows that hackers are
clearly shifting their attention to e-commerce payment applications, as opposed
to physical POS or card reader systems located in a store or attached to a gas
pump.
Most attacks (81%) involved external actors breaching retailer security
systems, as opposed to internal compromises. Payment data was most
frequently compromised (64%), followed by credentials (20%), and personal
information (16%).
Moving forward, Verizon offers three recommendations for retailers seeking to
avoid being victimized by cybercriminals:
1. Code is being injected to capture customer data as they enter it into web
forms. Widespread implementation of file integrity software may not be a
feasible undertaking, but retailers should consider adding this to their malware
defenses on payment sites, in addition to patching OS, and payment application
code.
2. Retailers should continue to embrace technologies that make it harder for
criminals to steal data from POS terminals, such as methods that utilize
a one-time transaction code (EMV, mobile wallets).
3. Rewards programs that can be leveraged for the “points” or for the
personal information of a retailer’s customer base are also potential
targets. chainstoreage.com
Social Engineering Slams the C-Suite: Verizon
DBIR
Criminals are also going after cloud-based email accounts, according to
Verizon's '2019 Data Breach Investigations Report.'
Senior executives are prime targets for social-engineering attacks as
cybercriminals continue to seek greater financial gain, according to Verizon's
"2019 Data Breach Investigations Report" (DBIR).
C-level executives have been increasingly and proactively targeted with social
scams, according to the report: Senior executives were 12 times more likely
to be the target of social incidents and nine times more likely to be the
target of social breaches than in previous years.

Security Translation - Speed of Deployment -
Talent Shortage
Stepping into the Cloud Requires New IT Security Tactics
Adopting a strategy to embrace the cloud should include adequate plans to
control and monitor the new environment.
Security measures that served on premise might not cover all the nuances of
cloud computing, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments -- if they are
not adapted for the cloud. Some industry players have a few perspectives on what
to watch for and how to mitigate security exposure when making the migration.
The speed at which the businesses want to deploy to the cloud can surpass
their teams’ ability to secure their environments. “Security teams are
struggling to adapt to that,” Woods says.
Though there might be ways to extend tools and security from on-prem to the
cloud, he says some of those features might not translate neatly to the
cloud.
The need to identify and close vulnerabilities is exacerbated by a talent
pool shortage in cloud expertise and security, Woods says. Engineers are
trying to update their tools and skillsets to meet this demand, but many
companies are still on the hunt for such talent. “Some companies are just
looking for one or two really good people to train the rest of the team,” he
says.
Establishing order is essential, Woods says, because of the potential for
uncoordinated cloud sprawl, particularly in multi-cloud environments. This can
include bloated, duplicate rules for firewalls that are introduced along the
way. As the complexity of environments increases, if there is a fragmentation of
responsibilities and a lack of consistency in following a centralized security
policy, the probability of human error escalates as well. Security vendors are
creating blueprints, Woods says, that organizations can follow to help establish
best practices.
One of the more insidious security threats faced in the cloud is ransomware,
he says. “It’s not just about intrusion and stealing your data,” Matter says.
“It’s actually about kidnapping your data.”

Hackers siphoned funds from 100 Amazon seller accounts
Amazon.com Inc. said it was hit by an "extensive" fraud, revealing that
unidentified hackers were able to siphon funds from merchant accounts over
six months last year.
Amazon believes it was the victim of a "serious" online attack by hackers who
broke into about 100 seller accounts and funneled cash from loans or sales into
their own bank accounts, according to a U.K. legal document. The hack took place
between May 2018 and October 2018, Amazon’s lawyers said in a redacted filing
from November that can now be made public.
Amazon found the accounts were likely compromised by phishing techniques that
tricked sellers into giving up confidential login information.

20% of Americans Have Bought Counterfeit Mother's
Day Gifts
Sunday is Mother’s Day, and those shopping for presents are expected to generate
a record $25 billion in sales, according to the National Retail Federation. And
some of those shoppers might be buying their moms counterfeit gifts, concludes
the online intellectual property firm Red Points, whose study released today
says 20% of Americans at some point have bought copycats for the holiday.
Although most gift givers might unknowingly have given fake bracelets, watches
or other expressions of gratitude to their mothers, not all have been duped.
“One in three shoppers admitted to having purchased a fake for their moms
intentionally,” Laura Urquizu, CEO of Red Points, tells Fortune. The
company surveyed 1,500 Americans for their report, which Urquizu said “doesn’t
include information on whether or not their mothers knew.” Those intentionally
buying counterfeits were most likely to choose jewelry and watches, Red Points
said.
The NRF, which estimates 84% of U.S. adults will buy gifts for their moms, said
jewelry is a popular purchase for the holiday,
“We have been seeing spending on gifts of jewelry trending up over the last
several years and it contributed to more than 30% of the change in spending from
last year to this year,” Katherine Cullen, senior director of Consumer and
Industry Insights at the NRF, tells Fortune. “This is on top of their
spending on Mother’s Day standards like greeting cards and flowers.”

Newport Beach, CA: Dennis Rodman accused of Clothing
Heist; works as a distraction
The owners of an upscale yoga studio are accusing Dennis Rodman of participating
in a brazen daytime clothing heist ... and the whole bizarre thing was captured
on video obtained by TMZ Sports. The NBA Hall of Famer entered VIBES Hot Yoga in
Newport Beach around 12:45 PM on Tuesday with 3 companions -- 2 women and 1 man.
At one point, the woman hides behind Rodman while she tucks a shirt away. Then,
things get weirder ... Rodman's male companion grabs a large $2,500 crystal art
piece from the front desk and tries to place it on a steel dolly, insisting he
wants to buy it. But, the guy drops the crystal -- which shatters all over the
floor -- and while the staff is distracted, the woman in the green-sleeves grabs
another clothing item and again stuffs it into her purse. Eventually, the entire
crew leaves the store with the shattered crystal piece on the dolly. The owner
tells us everyone in the group refused to pay. Dennis actually blamed the staff
for the broken crystal. The owner tells us ... the gang left the store with more
than $500 in stolen clothing, plus the broken crystal -- so they went to police
and filed a theft report.

Austin, TX: Home Depot employees busted for
stealing $15,000 in merchandise
Three men have been accused of hatching an elaborate scheme to swipe tens of
thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from a South Austin Home Depot since
the end of 2017. Cesar Guzman, 19, Edrick Shiloh, 20, and Brent Leigh Don Lira,
21, have all been charged with theft in connection with the operation. Arrest
affidavits filed against the men on Wednesday said both Guzman and Shiloh worked
at the Home Depot since at least 2017.
A manager at the store received a tip from an employee in November that Guzman
and Shiloh had been putting high-value power tools and batteries in lockers for
online order pickups. Store investigators found dozens of orders for items
valued at $2 to $3, but Guzman and Shiloh were both seen placing items valued at
$400 to $1,000 in the lockers. Authorities confirmed 25 cases through video
footage, including merchandise valued at a total of $15,542. Investigators,
however, believe the men may have allowed nearly $30,000 in merchandise to walk
out of the store. Investigators found several items posted for sale on Facebook
and the Let Go app under the name Brent Lira. Officers also observed Lira pick
up several items from the lockers on 17 separate occasions. Guzman told
investigators he first got started with the thefts when he let a former employee
leave the store with a full cart in exchange for $50.

Shootings & Deaths
Salt Lake City, UT: Ace Hardware store employees
'acted lawfully' in confrontation where suspected shoplifter later died, store
owners say
Ace Hardware representatives believe their employees “acted lawfully” during a
confrontation last week in which a suspected shoplifter later died. The
altercation took place about 7 p.m. Thursday outside the store in Salt Lake
City. Store employees saw a man, later identified by police as Mischa Ryan Cox,
conceal merchandise and walk out of the store without paying, according to a
statement from Ace Hardware owners released through an attorney. Employees also
saw the man “threaten them as well as bystanders with a stolen pry bar,” the
statement reads.
Salt Lake police say two employees from the store confronted Cox after they saw
him walk out. A struggle ensued, and two bystanders also joined in, according to
police. The group was able to get Cox on the ground, but when police arrived, he
was unresponsive. He was later taken to a hospital in critical condition. Police
announced Tuesday that Cox, 30, had passed away.

Zachery James, 27, was a trusted employee, working his way up to store manager
at Beyond Bricks while also being a well-respected member of a number of local
sporting clubs. But Atkinson will now spend at least the next nine months behind
bars after he stole more than $109,000 from the small business he worked at to
feed his “large scale” gambling addiction. Police prosecutors described
Atkinson’s offending as “calculated, deceitful” and the “most serious breach of
trust” after he stole amounts between $800 and $14,440 across 24 separate
occasions in a 12-month period. Atkinson covered his tracks by fabricating
invoices and deleting eftpos transactions.

parole in murder of McDonald's employee
Two men convicted in the murder of a woman at a Rosamond McDonald's in 2001,
learned their fates in court today. According to court records, 37-year-old
Cedric Sutton and 42-year-old Darnell Wheat were both sentenced to life without
parole. Back in March , a Kern County Jury found Sutton and Wheat guilty of all
charges in connection to the murder of 37-year-old Maria Cruz Pina, who worked
at a McDonald's restaurant in Rosamond, according to the DA's office. They were
found guilty of first degree murder with special circumstances and kidnapping to
commit robbery.

Winchester, VA: West Virginia man sentenced to 1
year for stealing $155,000 in Breast Pumps
According to investigators with the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, David
Grundahl Jr., 35, will serve one year for stealing over 550 breast pumps, which
were estimated to be worth over $155,000. Grundahl entered a plea agreement

Communicating within your organization
It's not so much as what you actually say today, as it is what they
believe they heard from you in three months that really matters and that's if
they even remember it.
It's all about the impression you make and the impact you have long term.
Just a Thought,
Gus
