8 Senior LP, AP, Risk Mgt., ISO Jobs Come Off
Sites Yesterday
The fourth quarter push filled those jobs. Let's see who lands in those seats
shortly.
Our Mid-Year & Q2 Senior Jobs Report will be published this week.
54% of All Mass Shootings (4 or More Killed)
Connected to Domestic Violence
An analysis of shootings with four or more victims from 2009 to 2017, Everytown
for Gun Safety, an organization that works to reduce gun violence,
chronicled a connection in domestic violence: In at least 54 percent of
shootings in which four or more people were killed, the perpetrator also shot
a current or former intimate partner or family member.
Research has shown that women killed by their partners are more likely to be
murdered with a firearm than by all other means combined, and the presence of
a gun in domestic violence situations can increase the risk of homicide for
women by as much as 500 percent,
according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

Hong Kong: Apple & Other Retailers Shutter Stores Early as Protests Against
Chinese Government, Crackdowns Escalate
Amid mounting unrest and a
night of violence in Hong Kong, Apple is among the retailers that have
chosen to shut stores or close them early citywide, the Wall Street Journal
reported on Monday.
Demonstrators
have taken to the streets for seven straight weeks there in protest of a
(now-suspended) Hong Kong government bill to allow extradition to the mainland,
where suspects would be all but certain to receive harsh punishments under the
authoritarian Chinese government’s infamously unfair judicial system.
The protests had largely been peaceful, but on Sunday night devolved into chaos
as baton-armed thugs (believed to be triad gangsters targeting demonstrators)
attacked people at a metro station and riot police fired tear gas and rubber
bullets on protesters. There is considerable concern that the mainland Chinese
government either will capitalize on the events as a pretext for sweeping
suppression of the protests, or actually orchestrated them.
Apple shut down five of its six Apple stores
on Monday at 4:00 p.m. local time, according to the Journal, some five to six
hours early,
and closed the sixth entirely. The paper
writes that the tech giant is far from the only retailer anxious about potential
violence.
At a branch of
Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s Hollister -
next to an Apple store in the shopping belt of Causeway Bay - a Hollister
employee said some staff were allowed to leave early to get home to Yuen Long, a
suburb close to the border with mainland China, where the attack at the subway
station happened Sunday night.
Estée Lauder Co.
at 2:40 p.m. Monday sent a notice to Hong Kong employees, asking those who live
in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, another suburb, to “leave the office as soon as
possible,” according to an internal email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

UK: New security measures see drop in crime at Central England Co-ops
Bucking national trend - where robberies are up 508% - burglaries up 137%
New measures aimed at reducing crime at Central England Co-operative stores have
seen
burglaries drop by 6% and robberies drop by 30%,
says the retailer.
A ram raid at one of the co-op’s stores in Scraptoft, Leicestershire, recently
hit the headlines but overall crime figures are down,
bucking a national trend. This trend has seen burglaries increase by 137% and
robberies by 508%, according to the co-op.
Both crimes are theft, but robbery involves threatening or forcing another
person to give up something.
Central England Co-operative released the crime figures one year after rolling
out new measures to help prevent incidents and protect colleagues, members and
customers. In 2018, stores were fitted with external motion detectors – and a
centrally monitored CCTV system was installed, which allows colleagues to call
for assistance at the touch of a button.
The new measures sit alongside a range of others such as product GPS trackers,
gas suppression systems and stringent cash controls, all of which are designed
to keep customers and colleagues safe, as well as actively promoting the fact
that targeting convenience supermarkets is not ‘worth the risk’.

South Africa: Shoprite has created its own Private Security Force
– after being robbed nearly 500 times last year
The
Shoprite Group is investing heavily in security as it aims to address the number
of criminal incidents impacting its stores. The company said that the South
African retail industry has been hit by a number of significant crime incidents,
with the Shoprite Group having to contend with
489 armed robberies and burglaries in its 2018 financial year alone.
The Shoprite Group includes 2,006 stores in South Africa including 471 Shoprite
branded stores, 335 USave stores, 213 Checkers stores, and 37 Checkers Hyper
stores. Shoprite Group is the largest private sector employer in South Africa,
with in excess of 125,000 people.
The new investments in crime prevention include a centralized command centre and
anti-crime team – giving the group the ability to monitor stores and vehicles,
remotely trigger security devices, follow up on crime incidents and ensure
suspects are arrested.

Cleveland, OH: City lawmakers consider moratorium on new dollar store locations
over concerns of crime and safety issues
A measure that would put any new dollar stores locations in Cleveland on-hold is
now being considered by the Cleveland law department and the city
administration. The proposed legislation drafted by Cleveland Councilman Blaine
Griffin would place a moratorium on allowing any new dollars store to open in
the city until company leaders come up with a better safety and service plan for
the neighborhoods they serve, or would serve in the future.
Griffin told News 5 the legislation is
gaining national attention, since crime and safety issues are hitting dollar
store across the country. “They have
frequent robberies, they often times have employees that have walked out,”
Griffin said.
Leaders from the "big three" dollar stores are starting to respond. "The Dollar
General, the Family Dollar, the Dollar Tree, a lot of these folks have asked to
meet with city council,” Griffin said.

Trump proposal would push 3 million Americans off food stamps
The U.S. Department of Agriculture proposed new rules Tuesday to limit access to
food stamps for households with savings and other assets, a measure that
officials said would cut benefits to about 3 million people.
In a telephone call with reporters, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
and Acting Deputy Under Secretary Brandon Lipps said the proposed new rules for
the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) were aimed at ending
automatic eligibility for those who were already receiving federal and state
assistance. “This proposal will save money and preserve the integrity of the
program,” Perdue said. “SNAP should be a temporary safety net.”

recent New York Times report.

McD’s CEO makes an hour what the average worker
makes a year
McDonald's Corp. has been among the
American companies that pay its workers the least. As some evidence of the
ongoing pay problem at the fast-food chain, the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission has released the compensation of McDonald's CEO Stephen Easterbrook.
He was paid $15.9 million in 2018. That is 2,124 times the median employee
salary of $7,473. It means that Easterbrook, who has been CEO since 2015,
earns in an hour what it takes a median employee to make in a year, according to
data from public company intelligence firm
MyLogIQ.

Three pawn shop owners charged with reselling over $1M of
stolen items on eBay
The owners of pawn shops in Manchester and Concord are accused of being the
ringleaders of organized retail crime rings that prosecutors said reaped more
than $1 million in profits by selling stolen items on eBay. “It is the most
expansive retail organized crime enterprise I’ve ever seen,” prosecutor Patrick
Ives told Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Amy Messer on Thursday. Ives
said Kyle Perkins, 27, and his domestic partner, Shaira Clarissa, 34, both of
Concord, used their pawnshops to solicit stolen merchandise and then sell items
on eBay with an account created in their child’s name.

CISO Pressures: Why the Role Stinks and How to
Fix It
Look around the boardroom. The average tenure of a CEO is 8.4 years. A CFO
will spend approximately 6.2 years in the position, while a COO lasts 5.5
years. In stark contrast, a CISO will spend an average of 1.5 to 2 years
before leaving behind the constant stress and urgency of the job.
There's a serious problem in the cybersecurity industry, and all too often, it's
ignored because it's uncomfortable to address. Now is the time to acknowledge
the issue and understand the true challenges and repercussions of the modern-day
CISO role.
When CISOs come to work, there's a growing list of issues to face. Perhaps the
most ominous is the constant cyberattacks threatening organizations of all sizes
and spanning all industries
Add to these challenges the accelerated rate of evolving business technology.
With most organizations laser focused on digital transformation efforts, the
constantly shifting legal and regulatory environment consisting of legislation
such as GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the fact that everyone
thinks they're an expert at the job, you have a recipe for a burned-out CISO
with no finish line to the job's responsibilities in sight. darkreading.com
Cybercrime gang adds new tactics to credit card
data-stealing campaign
FIN8 is Back - With a New Toolset
The FIN8 cybercrime group was first identified in January 2016, and
typically targets point-of-sale (POS) systems with malware attacks designed
to steal credit card information, which is then sold on for profit on dark
web underground forums. The nature of the attacks means retailers and the
hospitality sector are common targets.
FIN8 appeared to disappear for two years
before re-emerging in June. The group seems to have started where it left
off, continuing to evolve and adapt malicious tools to improve the success of
its campaigns. Hundreds of organizations are thought to have fallen victim to
FIN8 campaigns since the group first emerged.
The latest evolution of FIN8's attacks has been detailed by cybersecurity
researchers at Gigamon. The security company has uncovered Badhatch -- a
previously-unreported form of malware used as part of the financial hacking
group's latest campaign.
Badhatch is deployed to stealthily explore victim networks, as
well as distributing additional malware like PoSlurp, a credit card
information-scraper which steals details of cards swiped through POS
systems.

Identity management continues to challenge
businesses
As 36% prioritize biometric MFA
Identity management poses at least one challenge to 92 percent of organizations,
according to a survey from
LastPass by LogMeIn, and 36 percent say implementing biometric multifactor
authentication is a priority.
In a survey of 700 IT professionals at organizations ranging from 250 to 2,999
employees conducted by Vanson Bourne, 47 percent said balancing ease of use with
security is the biggest challenge in identity and access management. Password
problems take four hours of work each week to resolve, on average, with
organizations receiving 96 password-related requests per month, and 82 percent
say poor identity practices expose their business to risk.
“The
Guide to Modern Identity” report also shows 80 percent of IT professionals
believe SSO is not enough to secure businesses on its own, and 59 percent
agree that strengthening user authentication with MFA is critical.

Europol Head Fears 5G Will Give Criminals an Edge
Here We Go Again - Techies Not Even Thinking Crime Impact
The evolution of 5G networks is causing concern for Catherine De Bolle, head
of Europol, who argues that law enforcement will lose the ability to
surveil criminals when 4G networks become obsolete. EU member states lack
both regulations and technology to keep up, she says. The ability to monitor
criminals "is one of the most important investigative tools that police officers
and services have, so we need this in the future."
European law enforcement officials can currently monitor and listen to criminals
using mobile 4G devices, but their tools cannot be used on the 5G network,
De Bolle said in an interview with Reuters. In her opinion, European law
enforcement agencies should have been involved in discussions with tech
firms and policymakers earlier in the transition to 5G. Now, police agencies are
researching ways to minimize damage when they lack the ability to do their jobs
as usual.

The Loss Prevention Research Council's
Impact Conference Oct. 2-4 2017, A Six Episode Series
Filmed on location at the University of
Florida
THE LPRC CONDUCTS RESEARCH TO DEVELOP CRIME AND LOSS CONTROL SOLUTIONS
THAT
IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS MEMBERS AND THE INDUSTRY
The IMPACT Conference helps retailers & solutions partners better employ
research tools
to assess the real-world impact their LP efforts have on sales,
crime, and loss levels.
LPRC
Research Update
Stuart Strome, PhD, Former Research Scientist, Loss Prevention
Research Council
 The
Loss
Prevention Research Council continues to work on ways to help retailers sell
more while losing less using in-store and supply chain innovation efforts,
interviewing offenders, shoppers and employees, while analyzing large data sets
and conducting randomized controlled trials in active locations.
A major LPRC research focus is better understanding the psychology of how LP/AP
efforts actually affect human behavior in stores and distribution centers. They
look at how and where LP should place deterrent treatments to make the most
positive impact with the least negative shopper and employee effects.
In this
22-minute
episode, Dr. Stuart Strome formerly of the LPRC explains why the offender interviews they
conduct are so crucial to their research, what data they collect when studying
solutions, and how they help facilitate research collaboration among retailers.

Consumer Behavior Fuels Fraud And Retailers Need
To Fight Back
E-Commerce buyers have developed a disconnect between their expectations and
their responsibilities as consumers. As a result, they often engage in unsafe
behavior online, enabling fraudsters to carry out phishing attacks and other
forms of fraud.
On the one hand, consumers are acutely aware of the risk online fraud
represents. However, misunderstandings about the realities of online fraud, plus
a lack of adherence to security best practices, means buyers are still
vulnerable.
We have a situation in which consumers feel entitled to a frictionless
experience. Simultaneously, they’re very aware of online fraud, but don’t
know how to protect themselves from it.
We’re training customer expectations by reinforcing negative behaviors
and fostering a culture in which consumers don’t understand the impact of their
actions. Simultaneously, customers expect to be entitled to a chargeback. This
is a recipe for disaster...and merchants are the ones who end up paying the
price.
Friendly fraud is directly tied to our problem with consumer entitlement.
Buyers are trained to expect that a chargeback will always be an option to
recover money. This gives them the impression that they have no real
responsibility to merchants, banks or other consumers. It’s a kind of feedback
loop, which explains the rapid growth of friendly fraud in the last decade.
The longer we allow consumers to take a lax attitude towards phishing and other
online threats, while simply expecting to recover their money at a whim, the
worse the situation will get. That’s why merchants need to take the lead.

Agreement. The company plans to make the changes worldwide. The new terms will
take effect in August. This means Amazon will comply with Europe's liability
toward business partners on its European platforms, giving merchants 30-day
notice and an explanation before removing a seller from the platform.

money was well spent.

Delray Beach, FL: Gas Station Owner helps young
boy escape alleged Kidnapper
Mia Musadaque has owned a Chevron station in Delray Beach for five years and
says he has never experienced anything as shocking as the moment a 14-year-old
boy ran into his store and announced he had been kidnapped. Musadaque wasted no
time helping. He made sure the boy was safe and called police immediately. Palm
Beach County Sheriff’s deputies say Osvaldo Vicente lured the boy into his car
by promising him cash in exchange for yard work. Vicente approached the boy near
the Lake Worth Beach Public Library earlier this month. Deputies say Vicente
sexually assaulted the boy while he drove from Lake Worth Beach to Delray Beach.
Luckily, the boy was able to escape from the vehicle at a stoplight near
Musadaque’s gas station.

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
