Mass
Shooting Aftermath - Copycat Attempt -
FBI & Walmart Respond
Deadliest Shooting Ever
at a Retail Store
El Paso, TX: Death toll rises to 21 after gunman attacks Walmart shoppers
Authorities treating the mass killing as domestic terrorism
A gunman armed with a rifle opened fire in an El Paso shopping area packed with
as many as 3,000 people during the busy back-to-school season,
leaving 21
dead and 25 total injured, police said. Police confirm that no
shots were fired inside Cielo Vista Mall itself, and the crime scene has
been confined to the adjacent Walmart.
U.S. authorities investigating the shooting said Sunday they are treating it
as a case of domestic terrorism. The State of Texas will be seeking Capital
Murder charges against the suspect. Emerson Bowie, the FBI Special Agent in
Charge says the FBI is investigating all evidence to determine if the shooting
will be considered a possible hate crime. El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen
confirms the shooter left a manifesto behind, but is working to validate it.

‘Copycat’ attack thwarted at Fla. Walmart
Suspect ‘intrigued’ by mass
shootings; Mother is a Walmart employee
 A Florida man was arrested Sunday for threatening to “shoot up” his
local Walmart
where his mother works — later telling cops he was “intrigued” by the El Paso and
Dayton massacres. Wayne Lee Padgett, 31, is accused of targeting a
Walmart in Gibsonton, just 10 miles south Tampa. He allegedly called the
store and told an employee he was on his way — and armed.
Chronister said cops acted quickly to the “active shooter” threat and
were able to bust Padgett, who lived near the Walmart — where his mom
was employed. It’s unclear if he was actually carrying a weapon.

WSJ: Walmart Workers’ New Security Threat Is Active Shooters, Not Shoplifters
Two Walmart Shootings in One Week Shows
Growing Threat
After Saturday’s shooting in El Paso, some Walmart workers expressed concerns in
online forums about their safety and how prepared their own store was for such
an attack. Saturday’s rampage was the second shooting at a Walmart in a week.
“I have to be cognizant of it. What’s my game plan if something does go down?”
Alexis Rodriguez, a 21-year-old Walmart cashier at a store in Morristown, Tenn.,
said Sunday morning in an interview.
In high-crime areas, Walmart sometimes hires security contractors or off-duty
police officers to patrol stores. It has its own shoplifting-prevention staff in
all locations. But many are reluctant to add invasive security checks near
building entrances because that could make it more difficult for shoppers to
quickly enter and exit a store, one reason he said many retailers have focused
on training in the event a shooting does happen.
In 2015, Walmart, the world’s biggest retailer by revenue, introduced
computer-based active-shooter training for store employees and, in 2017,
started requiring workers to take the sessions once a quarter. However, much of
Walmart’s visible security efforts, including the staff who greet shoppers at
store entrances, are focused on preventing shoplifting.

Dayton, OH: Gunman who killed 9 people outside of bar was stopped within 30
seconds of opening fire
The
gunman in the deadly rampage in Dayton, Ohio, was wearing a mask, bulletproof
vest, earplugs and was carrying a rifle capable of holding at least 100 rounds
when he opened fire outside a bar, killed nine - including his sister - and
injured more than two dozen, one in critical condition, police said Sunday.
Dayton police Chief Richard Biehl told reporters in a news conference on Sunday
afternoon that the gunman, identified as 24-year-old Connor Betts, showed up to
the city's Oregon District around Fifth Street with his sister and a friend on
Saturday night. The three separated at some point between when they arrived and
when Betts opened fire, saying it is unknown what happened during that time.

FBI Releases Statement about Shootings in El Paso & Dayton
The attack in El Paso, Texas, underscores the continued threat posed by domestic
violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes. The FBI is supporting its
state and local partners in Texas through investigative, intelligence, and
technical assistance. The El Paso investigation is also being supported by the
FBI’s Domestic Terrorism-Hate Crimes Fusion Cell, which was established in
spring 2019.
The FBI is also providing assistance to the Dayton (Ohio) Police Department’s
investigation into the shooting in Dayton, through the Bureau’s Cincinnati Field
Office, with support from FBI Headquarters personnel.

'Enough is enough': Cloudfare terminates 8chan, an online meeting place for
'extremist hate' that has been connected to three mass shootings in 2019
The online message board 8chan, which has been linked to three mass shootings in
2019, will be terminated, Cloudfare announced late Sunday night, just hours
after the site's founder called for its end. Cloudfare will cut off services for
8chan at midnight PDT, CEO Matthew Prince said in a statement, though he noted
that another network provider could bring 8chan back online. That's what
happened in 2017, when Cloudfare booted The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi message
board. "The rationale is simple: they have proven themselves to be lawless and
that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths," Prince said. "Even if 8chan
may not have violated the letter of the law in refusing to moderate their
hate-filled community, they have created an environment that revels in violating
its spirit."

Enlisting A Cloud Partner? Here Are Three Things To Consider
Forbes Article By
Bjoern Petersen, President of
Sensormatic Solutions
When do you first remember hearing about “the cloud?” Google’s Search Engine
Strategies Conference in 2006 has widely been credited as the conversation
starter around the cloud and its capabilities, leading to organizations spending
more than a decade determining how to best use the cloud to improve their
business. Fast forward to the present, and public cloud adoption is at 91%,
while private cloud adoption is at 72%, according to RightScale's 2019 State of
the Cloud Report.
Today’s high cloud adoption rate is no surprise. Cloud competencies have become
essential for businesses to remain competitive, and more enterprises have
realized the ROI of leveraging cloud architecture, such as enhanced efficiencies
and scalability and reduced IT costs. Industries that collect raw data, like
retail data that ranges from customer information to store operations, have seen
how cloud-based applications can make data more actionable.

Whistleblower - Senior Team Cooked the Books to Get Bonuses
Former Brixmor Property Group CFO and CEO Charged with Accounting Fraud
Partner to Approx. 5,000 Retailers - TJX, Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Ross & others
Owner and operator of 422 high-quality open-air shopping centers covering 73
million square feet of prime retail space.
Brixmor Property Group has
agreed pay a $7 million penalty to settle Securities and Exchange
Commission charges against the company and four former senior executives
connected to a scheme to operating metrics used by analysts and investors to
evaluate financial performance, the SEC said.
In a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, authorities alleged that from the third quarter of 2013 to
the third quarter of 2015, Brixmor CEO Michael Carroll,
CFO Michael Pappagallo, chief accounting officer Steven Splain, and senior
vice president of accounting Michael Mortimer manipulated same property net
operating income to meet publicly-issued growth targets.
In February 2016, Brixmor disclosed income statements had been manipulated and
said Carroll, Pappagallo, Splain, and Mortimer
were resigning based on an audit committee investigation of a
whistleblower complaint.
The company settled without admitting or denying the allegations.
Received bonuses: Carroll got $800,000, Pappagallo received $750,000, and
Splain received $210,000 in 2014 after exactly meeting per-share guidance
using manipulated statements.
cfo.com
Editor's Note: Seems like whistleblowers are popping up everywhere
and they're the ones that are driving the vast majority of senior level
investigations and cases. The graduated rewards scale based on dollar value of
the case, may be the ticket for getting people to step forward.
Calif. Man Gets 2.5 Years Federal Prison For $8M Ross Stores Insider Trading
A Dublin man who made millions in insider trading involving the Ross Dress for
Less store chain has been sentenced to 2 ½ years in federal prison. A judge in
Oakland sentenced Saleem Khan on Friday. He pleaded guilty in January to
conspiracy and securities fraud. In the plea agreement, Khan said that from 2009
to 2012, he
used inside trading information he got from a friend in the Ross Stores finance
department to make money on options contracts involving the California-based discount
clothing retailer. Khan acknowledged making more than $3.5 million but the
government said his gains could have amounted to as much as $8.2 million. In
2016, Khan agreed to pay more than $15 million to settle a civil case filed by
the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.

McDonald’s Franchisee Settles Immigrant Bias Case for $91,000
A Texas-based McDonald’s franchisee will pay more than $91,000 to settle Justice
Department allegations that it discriminated against immigrant workers when
verifying their employment eligibility.
R.E.E. Inc., which operates 30 McDonald’s restaurants in the Rio Grande Valley,
routinely required non-U.S. citizens to provide specific documentation issued by
the Department of Homeland Security to prove their work authorization because of
their citizenship or immigration status, even though some had already presented
other valid proof of their authorization to work. The Department also concluded
that R.E.E. improperly rejected valid documents some non-U.S. citizens tried to
present to prove their work authorization, such as their state IDs and
unrestricted Social Security cards.

Verizon implements 60-day locking policy on new
phones
Combating $190M Handset Fraud in 2018 - 210,000 Devices Lost
Verizon has started implementing its new policy of locking new phones for 60
days after purchase in an effort to combat handset-related fraud.
The Federal Communication Commission gave Verizon the greenlight in
June for a 60-day phone lock period, agreeing that the safety check
period wouldn’t significantly impact legitimate customers. A July postpaid
competition report from Wave7 Research noted Verizon updated its device locking
policy page on July 19, and implemented the policy at national retail on
July 23.
The 60-day device lock aims to reduce the incentive for handset-related theft
and fraud, and means Verizon customers can’t use a new device on a different
carrier’s network for about two months after purchase or activation. After 60
days Verizon will automatically unlock the phone, regardless of whether the
device is fully paid off.
Verizon previously
told the FCC that selling unlocked phones facilitated, and maybe even
encouraged, increasing incidents of device and identity theft, which
negatively impacted both the carrier and its customers. The thinking is that
phones that can only work on single carrier’s network (locked) for a period are
not as valuable on the black market and so not as appealing to fraudsters.
Jeffrey Moore, principal at Wave7 Research, indicated there are real
device-related fraud issues at national retail stores, such as people using fake
IDs at stores like Walmart and Target to buy expensive devices like iPhones on
equipment installment plans (EIP) and then resell them abroad.
According to Verizon, handset fraud cost the company about $190 million in
2018, during which it lost nearly 210,000 devices. In January of this year
alone, Verizon said handset fraud cost the company $34 million, a 93% jump from
January 2018. Identity theft also impacted 7,000 Verizon customers per month on
average in 2018, up 46% from 2017.
Verizon is the only major carrier subject to these rules and before the waiver,
was the only large carrier selling unlocked phones at the time of purchase.

Spotlight on FaceFirst

See the FaceFirst Face Recognition Integration
with Genetec Security Center
At ISC West 2019, FaceFirst revealed our powerful integration with
Genetec Security Center. The FaceFirst integration with the Security
Center face recognition framework offers a single unified platform where
Genetec customers can leverage face recognition and other tools to
prevent crime. With this platform, Genetec customers will gain
additional situational awareness, expedited investigations and
actionable analytics.
Here’s an overview of the integration, including some of the most
powerful integration features.
REAL-TIME ALERTING
When cameras are connected to Security Center, FaceFirst can can
instantly compare an image of an individual against a database of 75
million people in one tenth of a second. The result is that Genetec
customers can see match alarms in real time, directly within Security
Center. When alarms are triggered, they include contextually relevant
details like location and time data.
AUTOMATIC SYNCHRONIZATION
FaceFirst expertly syncs with the hit list in Security Center, ensuring
that positive match alarms are generated from the latest enrollment
intelligence. As an example, let’s say an individual is enrolled from
video after they get away with shoplifting from a retail store. If they
return to nearby location of the same chain an hour later, their prior
enrollment details would be instantly available in a Security Center.
This makes it easy to prevent crime and cut down on recidivism.
ACTIONABLE ANALYTICS
FaceFirst sends all face detection and recognition events into the
robust Genetec reporting framework to provide detailed analytics,
enabling Genetec customers to identify suspects and locations that pose
the biggest threats. This helps ensure that locations are properly
staffed with security personnel to maximize crime prevention.
SIMPLIFIED INVESTIGATIONS
The Genetec Face Recognition Framework also makes it easy to search for
prior identification events directly in Security Center, as every face
seen and positive identification are directly stored, reportable and
searchable. This dramatically speeds up investigations, allowing Genetec
customers to solve crimes quicker.

The New Mafiosos - Organized Crime Gangs
'Heads Up: Cybercriminals Are Businesspeople'
Understanding the business model behind cybercrime can be a helpful thought
experiment to help CFOs allocate appropriate resources to cyber defenses.
Most cybercriminals operate in highly organized groups based abroad. They
approach their work like any business would except that their revenue streams
are stolen data and extortion.
We may live in a time when companies in the First World rarely have to pay
“protection money” to mafiosos, but hacking is the new organized crime, and
the criminals are similarly ruthless about getting paid.
The Cornerstones of Any Cybercrime Enterprise
Having a proven, predictable business model has enabled cybercriminals to scale
and attract partners. They share a portion of the data they obtain through
hacking (or the profit from selling stolen data) with individuals or entities
interested in getting a piece of the action while minimizing their exposure to
prosecution.
A successful cyberattack is usually monetized either through stealing data and
selling it on the black market, or holding data hostage and exacting ransoms.
The second scenario is a great revenue stream for hackers because it doesn’t
require a buyer. Ransoms are typically paid in bitcoin, which most companies
don’t have on hand. To facilitate the process, many of these gangs now offer
customer service to provide assistance in paying the ransom.
Most hackers are very clearheaded and rational. They are as organized as you
and your competitors. Such predictability means the threat they pose can be
coldly and rationally managed.

‘I Have Concerns About All Aspects of This.’
Congress Wants Answers on Amazon and Capital One’s Data Breach
Leaders of House and Senate committees want Capital One and Amazon to explain to
Congress how a hacker accessed personal information from more than 100 million
Capital One credit card customers and applicants.
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform
Committee, asked for a staff-level briefing by Aug 15 on the breach that was
reported last Monday.
The chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee also
said the committee will look into the matter. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho,
plans legislation that would establish new data safeguards for consumers.
"I have concerns about all aspects of this," Crapo told reporters this week. "We
want to understand how this happened, how other breaches happened ... and we
want to know how vulnerabilities (appear) in systems and figure out what we must
do to deal with them at a policy level."

Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3)
'No More Ransom' Program - 108 million reasons to celebrate its 3rd anniversary
 No
More Ransom, initiative that has helped more than 200 000 victims of
ransomware recover their files free of charge since it was first launched in
July 2016. With visitors from 188 countries, the project has become a one-stop
shop for the victims of ransomware, registering already over 3 million
individual visits in its short life span. Thanks to the cooperation between more
than 150 partners(1), the criminal business model behind ransomware has been
severely hit since the initiative was launched, resulting in some $108
million profit prevented from going to the wrong pockets.
With 14 new tools added in 2019, the portal can now decrypt 109 different
types of ransomware infections - a number that keeps growing on a monthly
basis.
No More Ransom is the first public-private partnership of its kind
offering the victims of ransomware an alternative solution to losing their
precious files or having to pay the demanded money to the criminals. 42 law
enforcement agencies, 5 EU Agencies and 101 public and private entities have
joined the concept since 2016.
You can consult all the key figures in our
dedicated infographic, and read a
real behind-the-scene story of the initiative.

Online sneaker marketplace failed to come clean
about 6.8M record data breach
StockX — a popular online marketplace for sneakerheads and streetwear
aficionados to trade apparel — is the
latest company to fall victim to a massive data breach affecting millions of
its users.
As if that wasn’t bad enough,
TechCrunch reported over the weekend that the incident happened almost
three months ago, in May.
Although StockX has not disclosed the exact number of affected users, the
marketplace said “an unknown third-party was able to gain access to certain
customer data, including customer name, email address, shipping address,
username, hashed passwords, and purchase history.”
TechCrunch’s report, however, puts the number at 6.8 million after an
unnamed data breach seller contacted the publication with the information.
"The seller declined to say how they obtained the data. In a dark web
listing, the seller put the data for sale for $300. One person at the time of
writing already bought the data."
StockX, for its part, has maintained that it found no evidence of customers’
financial or payment information being affected as a result of the breach. But
some users on Twitter are pointing out that
fraudulent purchases have been made through their accounts.

Stolen goods on Amazon? Shoppers won't care,
experts say
News of an alleged Amazon theft ring involving contract delivery drivers is
unlikely to make a dent in the online shopping giant's massive business. But it
may make people more wary of letting deliveries into their house when they
aren't there — a nascent project from both Amazon and Walmart.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH AMAZON?
The theft ring, according to an FBI search warrant affidavit, involved Amazon
contract drivers stealing items that were being shipped to customers or returns.
Then they resold them to pawn shops, which shipped the items to Amazon
warehouses and resold them on Amazon's sites using the sellers "Bestforyouall"
or "Freeshipforyou." No charges have been filed yet.
WILL PEOPLE STOP SHOPPING AT AMAZON?
Regular customers probably won't stop buying from Amazon. People still use
Amazon even after having their packages stolen by "porch pirates," even though
that is a big problem .
"It's almost an inevitability that people will use the site to dispose of
ill-gotten gains," said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail.
"Amazon is the largest marketplace; it's going to have the biggest problem."
But the thefts could alter shoppers' behavior in other ways. Negative press
could tank retailer services that might seem intrusive, such as ones that
deliver packages directly into your house, said Jon Reily, a former Amazon
executive now at the digital consultancy firm Publicis Sapient.

Altamonte Springs, FL: Publix pharmacist
estimates she stole over 2,800 meds
A pharmacist at an Altamonte Springs Publix gave up her license Friday after,
the Florida Department of Health says, she got caught stealing drugs from the
pharmacy. And the emergency suspension order (ESO) said that while Publix caught
Kara Blankenship in June, she admitted she’s been stealing pills from Publix
pharmacies for eight years. “Ms. Blankenship estimated that, over the prior
eight years, while working at various Publix Pharmacy locations, she had stolen
approximately 2,850 tablets…” the ESO stated. The ESO says a June 7 controlled
substance internal audit at Blankenship’s Publix turned up a shortage of Tylenol
with codeine No. 3, Tylenol with codeine No. 4, alprazolam (brand name: Xanax)
and diazepam (brand name: Valium). The first two are used to treat pain, the
latter two used for anxiety.

Transitioning to a new position, a new job, a new market is a great opportunity
to reinvent yourself and your brand so to speak. It gives you the perfect chance
to look at yourself and say how can I improve and be truly what I want to be. It
erases your blackboard and allows you the chance to write something new,
something you've always wanted to be. A move, oftentimes referred to as a
geographical cure, can be just the medicine to help start a new you.
Just a Thought,
Gus
