Automate Returns Safely with Inventory Quarantine

Checkpoint Systems launches Inventory Quarantine (IQ)

As the apparel retail industry prepares to open its doors again, phased re-openings hinge on a safe shopping environment for both employees and customers.

In response to the many questions surrounding the handling and management of returns in fitting rooms, stores and fulfilment centers, Checkpoint Systems has announced a new technology agnostic software solution – Inventory Quarantine (IQ).

The SaaS-based solution can be stand alone or integrated with your store management system and allows retailers to assign returned stock to an automated quarantine ‘holding area’ for a number of hours, removing items from visibility to customers both online and in-store. checkpointsystems.com

Axis Communications Matches Pledge of $15k for Mission 500’s Feeding America Campaign - Benefiting COVID-19 Relief Effort
As Mission 500 brings their Feeding America campaign to a close they would like to recognize the countless individuals that stepped up to the “plate” to help feed families across America. Mission 500 launched their Feeding America Million Meal Challenge campaign in late March with Hikvision USA leading the charge in helping to match the first $5,000 donations made. Mission 500’s Feeding America Million Meal Challenge was focused on securing meals for families across the U.S. and helped initially raise over 180,000 meals, and if that was not enough, Axis Communications stepped in to close out the initiative with an additional $15,000 donation that added another 150,000 meals for a total of 330,000 meals overall. mission500.org

Minneapolis Riots Continue
'Can You Hear Us Now?'
Protests Across the Nation Hit Retailers


'State of Emergency' - Businesses Picking Up the Pieces


Derek Chauvin, cop who pinned down George Floyd, has been arrested
The cop who was caught on camera using his knee to pin George Floyd’s neck to the ground has been arrested in the deadly incident.

It’s unclear what charge or charges will be filed, but Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington had described Floyd’s death as a “murder” during a news conference earlier in the day.

Activists and others have demanded the prosecution of Chauvin as well as three other cops who were at the scene of Floyd’s arrest Monday for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill to try to buy groceries at a deli. nypost.com

Can You Hear Us Now? - Roof Top message in Minneapolis Protests
Large crowds turned out across the country to protest George Floyd’s death

As restrictions eased across the country, new measures were issued and under consideration in some cities and states where protests were growing over the killing of George Floyd.

Large crowds of demonstrators have gathered against the backdrop of a coronavirus pandemic that has kept many residents from engaging with one another directly for months.

In New York, where the city is still under restrictions to stem the spread of the virus, hundreds of people joined the protests, and more than 40 were arrested. nytimes.com

As Minneapolis Protests Escalate, Businesses are Picking Up the Pieces
Multiple nights of protests in Minneapolis - in some cases leading to rioting, looting and numerous fires - caused a path of damage that stretched for miles on East Lake Street.

Fire crews responded to dozens of incidents along the street, including at least 16 structure fires, since Wednesday during the protests over the death of George Floyd while he was in custody of Minneapolis police.

Below are images of the damage that was left behind Wednesday into Thursday, from which businesses are now picking up the pieces.  foxbusiness.com

'State of Emergency'
Over 500 National Guard soldiers activated;

Mayor Frey declares state of emergency in Minneapolis
Gov. Tim Walz signed Executive Order 20-65 on Thursday, activating the Guard to help protect Minnesotans and maintain peace. A release from Walz's office says local leaders have requested National Guard resources after extensive damage during protests the past two days.

Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis declared a state of emergency earlier Thursday giving him more flexibility to respond to the ongoing protests, KSTP has confirmed. The emergency order will remain in effect until Sunday night. kstp.com

'Flash looting' spreads to St. Paul; squad cars pelted with rocks, stores ambushed
Looters on Thursday afternoon broke windows, stormed through battered-down doors and snatched clothes, phones, shoes, and other merchandise from shops along University Avenue near the intersection of Pascal Street.

Officers formed a barricade in front of Target but none were at the T.J. Maxx store a block away, where looters smashed the door down and fled with shoes and heaps of clothing piled on shopping carts.

On St. Paul’s East Side, vandals broke into Cub Foods and its liquor store at the Sun Ray Shopping Center. Police had shut down the mall by about 3:30 p.m., but even as officers filled the parking lot in front, people were driving in the back and grabbing boxes of bottles from the liquor store.

Roseville police Lt. Erika Scheider said they received reports of looting at Rosedale Center, Target, Walmart, Cub Foods, Best Buy, Pawn America and two cell phone stores. startribune.com

Focused on 'Preventing Loss Of Life'
More than 170 St. Paul businesses looted or damaged, dozens of fires set

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and Police Chief Todd Axtell said groups of young people were traveling around the city in groups of up to 20 vehicles — many without license plates in an attempt to go undetected — and breaking into businesses and looting.

Rosedale Center and Maplewood Mall shut down as a precaution on Thursday, and the Roseville mall will remain closed Friday. Roseville police said several businesses had been impacted by attempted theft and burglaries. And Target announced that 24 of its stores in the Twin Cities are closed until further notice.

The Mall of America was set to officially reopen Monday, after it has been closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, but tenants were told Thursday that the date will be pushed out and will be announced when it’s finalized.

It appears to have started around 11:30 a.m., when St. Paul police were initially called to the Target on University Avenue. They found 50 to 60 people running into the store, grabbing merchandise and running out, said Steve Linders, a police spokesman.

When police arrived, people dropped merchandise and ran away, Linders said, a pattern that would repeat itself countless times throughout the afternoon.

An officer estimated there were at least 200 people in the University Avenue Target parking lot shortly after 2 p.m., and they described the crowd as increasingly hostile. After police gave orders for people to leave, police used a chemical irritant to disperse the group.

City Council President Amy Brendmoen said people are “focused first on preventing loss of life and secondarily preventing loss of property to fire,” according to a Thursday night Facebook post. “They have been trying to make space to allow and accommodate peaceful protests. The hope is to keep crowds calm and not contribute to the escalating tension in the city.”

The Hamline Midway Coalition and Union Park District Council are planning community clean-ups along University Avenue on Friday. twincities.com

7 people shot, 1 'critical' during protest in downtown Louisville demanding justice for Breonna Taylor
Seven people were shot Thursday night in downtown Louisville during a protest to demand justice for the shooting death of Louisville resident Breonna Taylor during a March police raid, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department. One person who was shot is in "critical" condition, police said. According to a statement from Mayor Greg Fischer early Friday morning, two victims were sent to surgery.

All of the shooting victims are civilians, according to LMPD, which said none of the victims were shot by officers and that it is "too early to comment on suspects."

Shots were fired around 11:30 p.m. Thursday as hundreds of people gathered on Jefferson Street, near Metro Hall and the Hall of Justice. Before the shots were fired, protesters tried to flip an LMPD prison transport vehicle. wdrb.com

At least 70 arrested at NYC protest over death of George Floyd
Dozens of protesters — many in protective face masks but otherwise flouting social-distancing rules — gathered around 3 p.m. to march around Union Square, chanting, “No justice! No peace!” and “F–k the police.”

By early evening, the demonstrators made their way down to the steps of City Hall and then to the World Trade Center site, before swinging north. At Albany off West Street, protesters pulled dozens of oversize traffic barrels off a construction flatbed and rolled them into the street.

Scuffles periodically erupted between the protesters and the scores of officers who responded.

Of the 70 arrests, at least one was for criminal possession of a weapon, for someone who allegedly had a knife at the protest, and one was for assaulting a police officer, for the person accused of throwing the garbage pail. nypost.com

Cuomo says NY businesses can deny entrance to those without masks

No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service.

New York businesses will have the right to deny entrance to those who refuse to wear a mask or other face covering under an executive order Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday.

“We’re giving the store owners the right to say, If you’re not wearing a mask, you can’t come in,’ ” said Cuomo in a press briefing at the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club in Flatbush, Brooklyn. “That store owner has a right to protect the other patrons in that store.

Though it took him a while to come around, Cuomo last month signed another executive order mandating that New Yorkers must cover up when heading into areas outside their own homes in which social distancing would prove difficult. nypost.com

Off-Duty Activities Increase Exposure & Risk?
As States Reopen, the Boss Wants to Know What You’re Up To This Weekend

Companies have limited sway over employees’ lives outside the workplace, legal experts say. Bosses can educate workers about the potential risks and ask them to stay away from the office but can’t bar them from going to a bar, a party, or using mass transit in their personal time.

Employees generally have no legal obligation to disclose information such as how they spend their personal time, employment lawyers say. But there are ethical considerations when it comes to things like whether a family member has become ill, workplace experts say, so that managers can alert an employee’s colleagues.

In a roughly 40-page guide published for employees, VF Corp., owner of brands such as Vans and the North Face, advises staffers to avoid close contact with people outside of their homes and to stay away from mass gatherings to maintain proper distancing. It also recommends they avoid ride-sharing, car-pooling or public transportation, if possible, and to steer clear of lunch and after-work gatherings. The company does temperature screenings and asks employees a series of questions verbally as they enter its distribution centers and other facilities.

Steve Rendle, VF’s chief executive, said the company has debated how to best keep employees safe as more regions reopen, while balancing privacy concerns. The Denver-based company could ask employees where they traveled and whether they came into contact with anyone with a confirmed case of the virus, he said. The company is exploring how to reduce risks of an employee’s personal travel, but so far hasn’t implemented new policies.

“We’re not just responsible for ourselves, but my actions have a direct relationship to your comfort and safety, so we need to think about each other, and those team members that we will come back in contact with,” Mr. Rendle said. “It does apply when you go somewhere on a weekend: Where did you go, who did you come into contact with—anybody test positive? wsj.com

76% Privacy Professionals Say Employees Must Notify if Diagnosed
This is according to research from the International Association of Privacy Professionals and EY. And 53% have asked about employees' personal travel.

Issues related to employee remote work, employee health monitoring and COVID19 data sharing are the top challenges privacy professionals are facing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Most employers have collected data from their employees about personal travel and symptoms, and 60% is keeping records of employees diagnosed with COVID-19. cybersecurity.cmail20.com

Getting Back to Basics with ePVM's

LPRC: Customers & Associates Feel Safer
LP Positively Impacting the Customer Experience

With the entire retail industry focused on re-defining and creating a unique customer experience that melds together the online and store environments, digital signage is destined to play a starring role in every aspect of retail. Once again, loss prevention has been leading the effort with Enhanced Public View Monitors (ePVMs) being one of the first interactive video monitors to show up in stores.

Certainly it's been a long and hard battle to gain the support and funding for what now is considered one of the basics in situational crime prevention. But with the Loss Prevention Research Council's (LPRC) ePVM impact study showing that customers "feel safer in stores with e/PVMs" it may be an opportune time to review and consider expanding the program. Especially with CBD products hitting the market.

With that in mind, there's also the opportunity to turn the entire program into a revenue generator with Media PVMs. Just like the EAS towers used for marketing, these media PVMs can be used for marketing as well. It really all depends on how good your selling skills are and how strong your relationships are in the organization.

With customer experience being the #1 driver right now, it all starts with customers feeling safer, and every retailer has to be focused on that goal.

Data Loss Spikes Under COVID-19 Lockdowns
Two new reports suggest a massive gap between how organizations have prepared their cybersecurity defenses and the reality of their efficacy.

That's according to several studies published this month, including the "Digital Guardian Data Trends Report," published today, which paints an increasingly dire picture for organizations juggling plummeting employee morale, an increasingly heterogenous mix of devices accessing their servers from home networks, and hard-to-monitor employee data security practices. The report aggregated anonymized data from 194 of Digital Guardian's customers between Jan. 1 through April 15.

Data loss also becomes harder to stop when employees work from home, according to 84% of the IT leaders surveyed. In addition, 54% of employees say they find workarounds when security policies prevent them from completing tasks.

Some studies, however, like Verizon's annual "Data Breach Investigations Report," published a few weeks ago, downplay the threat from organization insiders. Insider cyberespionage accounts for 30% of breaches included in its survey.

"There is a distinct rise in internal actors in the dataset these past few years, but that is more likely to be an artifact of increased reporting of internal errors rather than evidence of actual malice from internal actors," the report states.

At the core of the coronavirus crisis looms the reality that most organizations did not prepare for a "black swan" scenario where all employees would be working from home for an extended period of time, says Richard Bird, the chief customer information officer at Ping Identity. darkreading.com

ISACA Enhances CSX Cybersecurity Practitioner Certification to Test 20 Cybersecurity Skills
In the midst of COVID-19, cyberthreats are on the rise and the workforce skills gap is only widening,” said Nader Qaimari, ISACA chief learning officer. “Right now, companies and governments need practitioners who can actually demonstrate their skills on the job, not just memorize concepts. Given the critical demand for skilled cybersecurity practitioners, we felt it was important to update and expand the exam, putting exam takers into more real-life scenarios than ever so they can prove they have the skills enterprises need and are capable of handling the biggest and latest threats.”

To help individuals prove their qualifications—and help hiring managers quickly identify skilled candidates—ISACA has updated its performance CSX Cybersecurity Practitioner (CSX-P) certification with expanded job tasks that span and test across five key security functions – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

The comprehensive CSX-P certification exam has quadrupled its coverage of critical cybersecurity skill sets, expanding from five tasks to 20. These tasks fall under five key security functions, ensuring a comprehensive, performance-based experience that tests the exam-taker’s ability to solve problems in a simulated environment, including:

Business and security environment
Operational security readiness
Threat detection and evaluation and
Incident response and recovery


Additionally, the certification exam is now remote proctored, allowing CSX-P exam takers the flexibility to take the exam safely and securely from home. Certification candidates will also be able to receive quick feedback when both preparing for and taking the exam. For those seeking to become CSX-P certified, the CSX Cybersecurity Practitioner Certification Prep Course provides real-time scoring that allows professionals to immediately identify areas in which they need more focus, also allowing cybersecurity professionals to quickly move forward with next steps in their career journey

To learn more about CSX-P, visit www.isaca.org/credentialing/csx-p. More cybersecurity resources can be found at www.isaca.org/training-and-events/cybersecurity.

They're Back
Ransomware Gangs' Ruthlessness Leads to Bigger Profits - $302K Avg. Ransom

Volume of Successful Attacks & Victims' Payoffs Have Been Rising

In a new report into ransomware attackers' tactics, cybersecurity firm Group-IB estimates that the volume of ransomware attacks increased 40 percent from 2018 to 2019. Group-IB's Oleg Skulkin, a senior digital forensics analyst, says 2019 was when we saw ransomware attackers "shifting to larger targets and increasing their revenues."

The increase in attacks and revenue is significant because many criminals had begun shifting away from ransomware attacks in late 2017, preferring to focus instead on stealing cryptocurrency and installing illicit cryptocurrency-mining software. But with the crash in the value of bitcoins and other digital currencies, many criminals have once again adopted ransomware.

Ransomware-wielding criminals are also growing increasingly ruthless, based on the size of their extortion demands and increasing propensity to leak data in an attempt to force victims to pay, say attorneys David Kitchen and Anthony P. Valach, who are both partners at BakerHostetler (see: Crypto-Lock and Tell: Ransomware Gangs Double Down on Leaks)

Based on the more than 1,000 incidents investigated by their law firm in 2018, the average ransom paid was $28,920 and the largest payment was $250,000. In 2019, however, the average ransom paid jumped to $302,539 while the largest single payment was $5.6 million.  govinfosecurity.com

Amazon to offer permanent roles to 70% of 175,000 pandemic hires
Amazon.com Inc plans to offer permanent jobs to about 70% of the U.S. workforce it has hired temporarily to meet consumer demand during the coronavirus pandemic, the company told Reuters on Thursday.

The world’s largest online retailer will begin telling 125,000 warehouse employees in June that they can keep their roles longer-term. The remaining 50,000 workers it has brought on will stay on seasonal contracts that last up to 11 months, a company spokeswoman said.

The decision is a sign that Amazon’s sales have increased sufficiently to justify an expanded workforce for order fulfillment, even as government lockdowns ease and rivals open their retail stores for pickup. reuters.com

Fort Lauderdale, FL: Crooks swipe $7,000 of power tools
The owners of a Fort Lauderdale store have been left reeling after, they said, two men walked into their business and took off with two specialty power tools worth thousands of dollars. Surveillance cameras captured the subjects entering All American Tool Company, Wednesday afternoon. The business owner said the thieves knew exactly what they were looking for and where it was located in the store. “In the last two hours before the crime happened, there were six different people, standing, touching, having interest in all of the specific tools in this area,” said Ehle. “It’s not unusual to see one or two people over here, but to see a large volume of people in such a short period of time was unusual.”

Ehle said the stolen items are very particular, very expensive specialty tools. The first is a Milwaukee M18 Force Logic press tool, and the other is a portable band saw. Both tools are worth about $7,000.

Shootings & Deaths


Update: Dayton, OH: Dollar General manager who shot, killed armed robbery suspect will not be indicted
A Dollar General manager will not be indicted for shooting and killing a man who officials say tried to rob the business at gunpoint last fall. On Wednesday, October 9, 2019, 23-year-old Roosevelt Rappley entered a Dollar General store located at 2228 N. Gettysburg Avenue. He brandished a handgun and demanded money from the cashier. Officials say Rappley pointed his firearm at the store manager when he tried to intervene. The store manager then pulled out his own firearm and shot Rappley several times. Rappley exited the store before collapsing outside. The store manager followed and kicked Rappley’s weapon away before returning inside to call 911. After hearing testimony and evidence concerning the incident, the Montgomery County Grand Jury returned a no true bill, and found that the store manager acted lawfully under the circumstances. wdtn.com

Staying focused - at times the most difficult task of all. With days slipping by as if no progress at all is made. Feeling guilty as you drive into work and remembering those you didn't follow up with or call just to check in. Finding that zone where the day disappears and you've hit all the balls out of the park is a great feeling and at best only happens two or three times a week. So the question is: how do you move forward every day of the week and make all of them highly productive? - A struggle even for the best. Simple - Get focused on the day at hand. Commit to yourself exactly what you've got to accomplish that specific day and go do it regardless. And don't allow yourself the luxury of letting anything stand in your way - unless it's a family emergency. Dedicate yourself that day to your objectives of that day and that day alone, as progress is measured by small steps and each day you can make a few. You've just got to commit yourself to making them each and every morning.

Just a Thought,
Gus
