ISCPO 360 Security Podcast - Fictitious Pickups and Strategic Thefts
With
the ever-growing threat of fictitious pickups and strategic thefts, the
landscape has changed with an increased sophistication. The expansion of
various methods deployed by fraudsters has placed a tremendous burden on the
transportation industry, distribution facilities, business operations, and
organized crime task forces. The potential of carrier identity theft and
double brokering has international implication as freight is misdirected
with a high percentage of cargo going overseas. Listen to Glenn Master,
ISCPO President and Chairman and Scott Cornell, Travelers National Practice
Transportation Lead share their thoughts on these ever-growing
transportation theft scenarios.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ORC Grant Money Making an Impact
Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will use state grant to target

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Cutting-edge technology creates fresh challenges for
brand owners - Fighting tech with tech
- Education and regular training essential -
Opportunities to carve out fresh legislation - Embedding principles of

Vancouver, Canada: Transit police bust shoplifting ring, recover $100K worth of
stolen lululemon merchandise
Transit
Police have arrested two men in connection with an alleged organized theft
operation after a search warrant executed on a Burnaby residence revealed over
800 stolen items from popular retailer lululemon with a retail value of nearly
$100,000. On April 14, Transit Police patrol officers arrested a 39-year-old man
from Vancouver for theft over $5,000 at Metrotown SkyTrain Station just before 9
p.m. They had been alerted to the suspect’s alleged shoplifting routine,
including his dependence on using SkyTrain as his getaway vehicle, by asset
protection officers at lululemon. Patrol officers in plain clothes intercepted
the alleged thief as he tried to make his getaway. 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.

Cheyenne, WY: Man caught selling $1.400+ worth of stolen Magic cards
A 39-year-old Cheyenne man is facing a felony theft charge after police say they

According to a booking sheet, on Aug. 5, 2024, at about 4:58 p.m., police were
dispatched to a report of possession of stolen property. Police say they
contacted a store employee, Zachary Bettey, who stated that one of the suspects
involved in a burglary case, Adam Cole Ruhaak, had come into the store again to
sell more "Magic" cards. Police say Bettey confirmed that Ruhaak was the same
suspect who came into the store on Aug. 3, 2024, to sell some of the other
stolen "Magic" cards. Police say they looked at the cards and confirmed with the
victim the description of very rare and specially made cards.

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
