The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


ORC Investigations Up 212%, Arrests Up 106% in California
Organized retail crime enforcement results in 800+ arrests, recovery of $7.2 million in stolen goods
Governor Gavin Newsom today announced record progress by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in combating organized retail theft, with July seeing a 212% increase in criminal investigations and 106% more arrests than the month prior. Last month, California’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF) conducted 128 investigations leading to the arrests of 167 suspects, more than doubling the total arrests from the previous month. Since January, the ORCTF has facilitated 884 arrests and 448 investigations in 2024 and recovered over $7.2 million worth of stolen goods.

This effort led by the CHP is part of the state’s comprehensive approach to combat organized retail crime, which includes new measures to crack down on property crime and unprecedented police funding to local communities.

Since the task force’s inception in 2019, the CHP has arrested more than 2,900 suspects and recovered over $45 million worth of stolen assets.


Local support to fight organized retail crime

Governor Newsom has invested $1.1 billion since 2019 to fight crime, help local governments hire more police, and improve public safety. That investment has helped bring the task force results reported above. Today’s announcement is part of the Governor’s Real Public Safety Plan – which focuses on strengthening local law enforcement response, ensuring perpetrators are held accountable, and getting guns and drugs off our streets, including by deployment of California Highway Patrol to hot spots including Oakland, Bakersfield, and San Francisco.

The Governor announced last year the state distributed $267 million to 55 communities to help local communities combat organized retail crime. These funds have enabled cities and counties to hire more police, make more arrests, and secure more felony charges against suspects.

Last year, the California Highway Patrol reported an annual 310% increase in proactive operations targeting organized retail crime, and special operations across the state to fight crime and improve public safety. gov.ca.gov


Retailers Celebrate 'Historic' Retail Crime Legislation
CalRetailers President Joins Gov Newsom TODAY as He Signs Landmark Retail Crime Legislation
CRA President and CEO Rachel Michelin joins Governor Gavin Newsom today as he signs a Cal Retailers-supported package of bi-partisan Retail Theft bills.

Governor Gavin Newsom – joined by Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, law enforcement leaders, representatives of retail associations, and local and state elected officials – will be in San Jose to sign groundbreaking legislation aimed at combating retail crime in California.

A key component of the legislative package introduces a new crime classification for possessing stolen goods over $950 with intent to resell, punishable by up to three years in prison.

New laws require online sellers to prove the legality of their products and larger retailers to share data with law enforcement to combat the sale of stolen goods.

Additional bills include extending jurisdiction for prosecuting theft, making the California Highway Patrol's organized retail crime task force permanent, and increasing penalties for related crimes.

Watch the bill signing at the governor's YouTube page.


ORC is a Bigger Problem Than Self-Checkout Theft
Self-check out can lead to shoplifting; Group says ORC is bigger issue
Self-checkout is now offered by 96% of retailers nationally, according to a recent study from the Food Industry Association.

The Connecticut Food Association has been studying trends in shoplifting, said Wayne Pesce, president of the organization, which does research on food safety and education. “Shoplifting is a big business and is constantly evolving in terms of nefarious tactics,” he said.

Theft from self-checkout transactions is more likely compared to a human cashier interaction, according to a statistics sheet from Capital One Shopping Research, which published data summaries from a combination of studies on retail trends.

Capital One reported that 15% of shoppers admitted using self-checkout to shoplift.

According to Pesce, although there is a growing tolerance for individuals who choose to shoplift in response to price gouging, the rise of organized retail crime groups is a significantly bigger issue.

Pesce said employees are one of the most important aspects of preventing shoplifting.

Well-trained staff are essential in maintaining store security and preventing losses,” he said. “They’re the first line of defense against potential shoplifters.”

In practice, however, some grocery stores are not practicing this line of defense. The National Retail Federation, in its latest Retail Security Survey, reported more than 40% of stores surveyed do not authorize any employees to stop shoplifters, up from 38% in the previous year’s study. courant.com


How Theft Is Impacting Pharmacies
Retail theft is jeopardizing access to pharmacists
The pharmacy profession can no longer ignore retail theft or push it off as a simple cost of doing business. Retail theft in today’s world is sophisticated, and—in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, and New York—is led by organized crime rings. A New York Magazine investigative article published in March 2024 describes the problem in great detail. If you think this isn’t an issue you should care about, take this real story from my recent travels.

In Boston, there is a community pharmacy in an upper middle-class neighborhood dispensing over five hundred prescriptions a day. In 2023, theft of front-end items from every conceivable shelf in the store has now totaled in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The staff of the pharmacy have to work for 10 full months to regain the revenue of the stolen merchandise. Think about it: going to work in a pharmacy and working hard to be profitable, only to have your profits eliminated and your coworkers realize they are working hard every day for essentially nothing—for 10 months out of the year. That’s demotivating. It’s no wonder hiring in today’s world is difficult.

It is also dangerous. Criminals engaging in mass retail theft are brazen, sometimes threatening and even physically harming workers. It’s no longer safe to be a cashier at a retail store—including a community pharmacy. As large corporations are downsizing and pharmacy owners are making decisions about locations to close, the amount of “shrinkage” or retail theft occurring at a given location is increasingly part of the equation. Many closures wind up happening in communities where there is no other pharmacy access. It’s heartbreaking. The selfishness and desperation of criminals is leaving many communities without access to critical health care services provided by pharmacists. For that reason alone, pharmacists must care about retail theft and work toward solutions.   pharmacist.com


San Francisco Crime Closures Continue
Last San Francisco Denny's closes due to crime, 'tremendous' business costs, report says
The last remaining Denny’s restaurant in San Francisco closed earlier this month due to high operating costs brought on by crime, according to a report by the San Francisco Gate .

The former owner of the restaurant, Chris Haque, told the outlet he closed his diner on Aug. 1 after nearly 25 years of business. The location is listed as permanently closed on Google. "We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque said. “The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them.

Several companies have pointed to crime in the Bay Area recently as a reason for closing their stores. Last September, a Target in San Francisco announced it was shutting down because theft was harming the store’s business.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance," the retailer said in a statement, adding that the company can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe. cbs12.com


Anti-Theft Lockups Continue to Impact Sales
Instacart, Spark delivery workers avoid stores with locked-up merchandise: report
Stores that have locked up merchandise such as toothpaste and underwear because of rampant retail theft have left many customers frustrated - but now delivery workers have started avoiding the businesses, according to a report.

Delivery workers for apps like Instacart and Walmart's Spark have to fulfill in-store orders on a deadline - so they don't have time to push a button and wait for employee assistance to buy some soap, Business Insider reported.

"Drivers make money per order, not per hour, so every second counts for us," an Ohio-based shopper working for Spark told Business Insider. The Spark worker said he once waited 10 minutes for an employee to unlock a cabinet holding baby formula - a wait time that could hurt their chances of getting a good tip.

Retail theft has plagued many businesses since the pandemic, forcing retailers to take the drastic measures of locking up everyday items. The shopping obstacle has led some customers to pivot to e-retailers like Amazon, where the click of a button doesn't mean waiting 20 minutes for a toothbrush.

A CVS spokesperson said merchandise is locked up based on factors like the rate of theft for each specific product and store location. nypost.com


ORC Grant Money Making an Impact
Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will use state grant to target organized retail theft crimes
The Deschutes County District Attorney's Office is receiving an initial $18,000 from the state's Criminal Justice Commission's Organized Retail Theft Grant Program. DA Steve Gunnels says the funds will be used to create a training program that partners with retailers and law enforcement to target such criminal enterprises. ktvz.com

Bolstering Security at Costco
Costco cracks down on membership sharing in San Francisco
In a bid to bolster security and prevent unauthorized access, Costco has introduced membership scanners at the entries to several locations across California, including its San Francisco warehouse and other Bay Area sites.

The new policy mandates that customers scan the barcode or QR code on their membership card upon entry, replacing the previous practice of showing their card to an attendant.

Additionally, non-members must be accompanied by a member to gain entry. This change comes after an increase in non-members exploiting others’ cards, particularly with the expansion of Costco’s self-checkout facilities.

Costco has introduced membership scanners at various locations in California. Customers must now scan their physical or digital membership card with its barcode or QR code to enter the store, instead of showing it to an employee. If the card does not have the member’s photo, the member must also be prepared to show a driver’s license or other valid photo ID.

The changes follow a rise in non-members using others’ cards, especially after Costco expanded self-checkout options. The measures aim to ensure that only paying members benefit from the store’s offerings and pricing sfchronicle.com


Retail Sales Surge 6% in July
US retail sales rise more than expected in July
Overall retail sales in the segments covered by Retail Dive rose 6% year over year in July, according to numbers released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

U.S. retail sales rose more than expected in July,
which could help to allay financial market fears of a sharp economic slowdown that were fanned by a jump in the unemployment rate. Retail sales increased 1.0% last month after a downwardly revised 0.2% drop in June, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Thursday.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales, which are mostly goods and are not adjusted for inflation, advancing 0.3% after previously being reported as unchanged. Signs that demand is not collapsing could prompt financial markets to dial back expectations for a 50 basis points interest rate cut next month. The odds continue to favor a quarter-point rate reduction, with inflation rising mildly in July.

Consumers are maintaining spending by bargain hunting and trading down to lower-priced substitutes. Retail sales excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services rose 0.3% last month after advancing by an unrevised 0.9% in June. reuters.com  retaildive.com

T-Mobile Slapped with 'Largest Penalty Ever' Over Data Breach
US fines T-Mobile $60m over unauthorised data access
A powerful US committee that scrutinises foreign investment for national security risks fined T-Mobile $60 million, its largest penalty ever, for failing to prevent and report unauthorised access to sensitive data, senior US officials said.

The penalty imposed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) is tied to violations of a mitigation agreement that German-controlled T-Mobile inked with the panel as part of its $23 billion acquisition of US-based Sprint Corp in 2020.

In the case of T-Mobile, which is majority owned by Deutsche Telekom, the unauthorised access to sensitive data occurred in 2020 and 2021, US officials said.

T-Mobile said in a statement that it experienced technical issues during its post-merger integration with Sprint that affected "information shared from a small number of law enforcement information requests." It stressed that the data never left the law enforcement community, was reported "in a timely manner" and was "quickly addressed."

The size of the fine, and CFIUS's unprecedented decision to make it public, show the committee is taking a more muscular approach to enforcement as it seeks to deter future violations. rte.ie


Background-Check Company Data Breach
Data Breach Has Gathered 2.9 Billion Social Security Numbers and Identities
A monumental data security breach has taken place, and a San Francisco law firm has shared a press release with information about the incident and what can be done about it.

The law firm, Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP, is investigating the unauthorized access of over 2.9 billion records allegedly belonging to Jerico Pictures Inc., operating as National Public Data (NPD), a Florida-based background-check company.
Advertisement
NPD is a company that compiles a multitude of data from all sorts of accessible records and sources. Unfortunately, the company seems to have been targeted by a cybercriminal group known as “USDod.”

In April 2024, the USDod group claimed to have stolen a vast amount of personal information, such as Social Security numbers, from NPD and offered to sell the data on the dark web for $3.5 million. The breach raises serious concerns, as many individuals may be unaware that their private information was collected and compromised.

The company has not officially acknowledged a data breach. However, The Los Angeles Times reported that it has been informing those who reached out via email that “we are aware of certain third-party claims about consumer data and are investigating these issues.”

As the investigation unfolds, NPD has yet to confirm the breach or disclose the extent of the stolen data. Experts warn that those affected could face risks of identity theft and financial fraud. Individuals who believe their information may have been compromised are encouraged to seek legal advice, as they may be entitled to damages and changes in NPD’s cybersecurity practices.

Multiple class action lawsuits have already been filed against Jerico Pictures for not protecting people’s data effectively, according to BleepingComputer.  retailwire.com


Will Fraud Increase with AI?
Most consumers think AI will increase fraud
Americans are worried about fraud, especially with the rise of AI technology.

The vast majority of Americans (90%) are worried about the rise in fraud, according to a new survey from financial crime prevention solution provider Abrigo. More than half (51%) are “extremely concerned” and another 39% are “somewhat concerned.”

Nearly seven-in-10 (68%) Americans are concerned about financial fraud attempts increasing with the advancement of AI, and three-quarters (74%) believe the advancement of AI will result in the increased success of those attempts.

“Americans are expressing deep concern about rising fraud and the fear that AI advancements will add to rising fraud rates,” said Ravi Nemalikanti, chief technology officer at Abrigo. “Financial crime is always evolving, and that means we will need vigilant, ethical, AI-assisted crime-fighters to stop criminals using AI.”

Close to half of those surveyed (45%) by Abrigo self-reported having been the victim of financial fraud. Among those who were victims, the top three types of fraud experienced were credit card theft (53%), ACH or electronic payment fraud (19%) and check fraud (17%). Almost a quarter (24%) indicated they lost $5,000 or more. Sixteen percent of respondents switched financial institutions entirely after becoming fraud victims.

The Abrigo survey revealed another key misconception, with over half of Americans (53%) believing credit card theft is most common and what they fear most (43%), when in reality check fraud is the bigger liability for banks.  chainstoreage.com
 

DDoS Attacks Up 106%
DDoS attacks surge since late 2023, telecom still in hot seat

The report comes just weeks after a DDoS attack disrupted Microsoft Azure for about eight hours.

Distributed denial of service attacks during the first half of 2024 have more than doubled since the latter half of 2023, rising 106%, researchers said in a report Thursday from Zayo Group. The report is based on more than 62,000 threat detections among Zayo customers during the first half of the year.

DDoS attacks have also gained in intensity year over year, each lasting about 45 minutes in the first half of this year, according to the report. The attacks are costing organizations about $270,000 per attack, or about $6,000 per minute.

The report comes just weeks after Microsoft disclosed a major DDoS attack in late July that took down its Azure and 365 platforms for about eight hours. Microsoft said it plans to enhance additional validation on its Azure network by November and will also improve monitoring. cybersecuritydive.com

Anti-Counterfeiting Tech for E-Commerce Marketplaces
Experts insist on collaboration and education as e-commerce and advanced tech threaten brand protection
With the proliferation of e-commerce platforms and the advancement of innovative technologies, counterfeiters are constantly evolving and redesigning their methods. Against this backdrop, it has never been more crucial to understand the greatest threats to brands so that they can stay one step ahead. WTR asked contributors to the latest edition of the Anti-counterfeiting and Online Brand Enforcement Guide to share their insights on these issues and highlight the key considerations that brand owners should incorporate into their anti-counterfeiting strategies.

While advanced tech is a huge problem, it is also the solution; experts cite anti-counterfeiting technology as central to an effective mitigation strategy. Education and collaboration between e-commerce platforms, brand owners, law enforcement and judicial authorities are also essential for maximum enforcement against illicit trade – both online and offline.

Bad actors increasingly able to evade detection as e-commerce platforms prove “treacherous”

Counterfeiters have “exploited the anonymity of the Internet”, say Saif Khan and Meghana Kudligi of Anand and Anand. Indeed, it is unsurprising that e-commerce platforms play such a pivotal role in facilitating counterfeit activity on a global scale, given the ubiquity of the online world.

With the growing trend of “long-trusted retailers opening up their online platforms to unknown third-party sellers”, Maia Woodhouse and Kristina Montanaro Schrader of Adams and Reese express their concern over the resulting influx of counterfeits on these platforms and thus the increasing number of consumers who are unwittingly purchasing products assumed to be directly supplied by the brand owner.

Alongside the threat of third-party sellers, counterfeiters are targeting consumers with “treacherous” baits, such as hidden links to secondary sites, says Cesare Galli of IP Law Galli. According to Georgina Danzig of Heer Law, these malicious tactics are becoming increasingly sophisticated and allow counterfeiters to evade detection and limit liability.

Rafael Lacaz Amaral of Kasznar Leonardos also expresses concern that counterfeits on e-commerce sites facilitate “large-scale distribution, challenging authorities' monitoring and control”, which limits the authorities’ and brand owners’ capacity to tackle perpetrators.

Bad actors are also exploiting the proliferation of video e-commerce – where products are sold through live-stream videos. Alan Chiu, James Choi, Nicole Huo and Nicola Kung of Ellalan warn that the “unpredictable nature” of live-streaming sales makes it extremely challenging for the authorities to trace and track activities, which renders monitoring, obtaining and preserving evidence of infringement nearly impossible.

Vancouver, Canada: Transit police bust shoplifting ring, recover $100K worth of stolen lululemon merchandise

During the course of their investigation, and utilizing technology capabilities from lululemon, officers discovered that the suspect was allegedly involved in a large-scale organized theft operation, targeting lululemon stores across the Lower Mainland. The operation used Facebook Marketplace to sell a large volume of the stolen merchandise to online buyers, meeting them along the SkyTrain system for the exchange. On July 26, two further arrests were made, following the execution of an arrest warrant at a residence in the 4200-block of Sardis Street in Burnaby. A 39-year-old man and a 34-year-old man, both residents of Burnaby, were arrested on charges of ‘trafficking in property obtained by crime’ and ‘possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.’ In addition, the following items were seized: Over 800 lululemon clothing items with a retail value of $97,468, $17,638 in Canadian currency, $1,700 in US currency.  globalnews.ca

Education is a broad term usually defined by an individual as a singular focus with an end result that oftentimes stagnates the brain and limits horizons. Reaching milestones is incredibly important, but keeping your curiosity and wonderment is the key to reaching beyond. No singular degree or certification will bring you the success - it merely opens the door to more learning and the realization that if you don't know something, you go find someone who does and learn it from them.    


Just a Thought,
Gus
