Biometrics class actions target Lowe's, Home Depot for anti-shoplifting
surveillance systems
Home improvement retailers Home Depot and Lowe’s have become the latest big
companies to get swiped by class action lawsuits under Illinois’ biometrics
privacy law, as a group of plaintiffs have sought to extend the reach of the
law’s potentially big financial awards to those stores’ anti-theft surveillance
systems.
On Sept. 4, a group of plaintiffs simultaneously filed virtually identical class
action complaints in Cook County Circuit Court
in Chicago against Lowe’s and in federal court
in Atlanta against Home Depot, accusing the retailers of violating the
Illinois state law by “surreptitiously” scanning customers’ faces as they moved
about the chains’ stores in Illinois
The retailers, the plaintiffs said, have “augmented (their) in-store security
cameras with software that track individuals’ movements throughout the store
using a unique scan of face geometry,” the lawsuit said. “Put simply, Defendants
surreptitiously attempt to collect the faceprint of every person who appears in
front of one of their facial-recognition cameras.”
According to the lawsuits, Home Depot and Lowe’s have consistently declined to
publicly discuss their systems. However, the lawsuits note the systems are
designed as a “loss-prevention measure” to combat shoplifting and theft, as they
can “track shoppers across multiple stores and identify ‘suspicious’ shopping
activity.”
However, the lawsuits claim the “systemic and covert” practice constitutes
“privacy intrusion” and violates the Illinois Biometrics Information Privacy
Act, because Home Depot and Lowe’s do not collect express authorization for the
facial scans from every customer entering their Illinois stores.
The lawsuit also claims Home Depot and Lowe’s have shared the facial scan
information of its customers with others. The complaint does not assert who
those others may be, naming only “John Doe” as a co-defendant.
The lawsuit against Home Depot represents the first of its kind filed under the
Illinois BIPA law in Georgia.

Operational Centre at Europol:
30 countries team up to combat crime in the Western Balkans
 The
Joint Action Day (JAD)
Western Balkans 2019 is an international operation, involving 6,758 law
enforcement officers: 6,708 officers on the ground and 50 officers in the
Operational Centre at Europol’s headquarters. Law enforcement officers from 30
countries, as well as 8 agencies and international organizations teamed up to
tackle the
4 EMPACT
(European Multidisciplinary Platform against Criminal Threats)
priorities: firearms trafficking, illegal immigration, document fraud and drugs
trafficking.
The
following priorities
for the fight against organized and serious international crime between 2018 and
2021 were adopted by the Council of the EU at its meeting on 18 May 2017:
(Includes the USA (ATF, DEA, HSI, CBP).)
1) Cybercrime, 2) Drug Trafficking, 3) Facilitation of illegal immigration,
4) Organized Property Crime (ORC & Beyond):
To combat organized property crime by concentrating on
disrupting highly mobile OCGs carrying out organized thefts and burglaries
across the EU. This should include OCGs using new technologies or enhanced
countermeasures which exploit the lacking interoperability of cross-border
surveillance tools.
5) Trafficking in human beings, 6) Excise and MITC Fraud, 7) Illicit firearms
trafficking, 8) Environmental crime, 9) Criminal finances and money laundering,
10) Document fraud.
EMPACT is an ad hoc management environment to develop activities in order to
achieve pre-set goals. It is a structured multidisciplinary co-operation
platform of the relevant Member States, EU institutions and agencies, as well as
third countries, international organizations and other (public and private)
partners to address the prioritized threats of organized and serious
international crime.
Results from the JAD (Joint Action Day)
In total, 214,147 persons, vehicles, and premises were checked during last
week’s JAD in the fight against crime originating from the Western Balkans. 175
individuals were arrested (26 arrests in the intelligence phase and 149 in the
operational phase)

Open-Carry Laws Thrust 2 Million Retail Workers Into Gun Debate
Employee
Training Will Be 'Critical' After New Policy Announcements
At
Walmart Inc. and Kroger Co.
stores, new policies that call for dissuading customers from carrying
unconcealed firearms have thrust 2 million employees onto the front lines
of America’s gun debate. The retailers, along with drugstore chain
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and grocer Wegmans Food Markets Inc.,
said this week that they’ll ask people not to display guns in their aisles, even
in states where it’s legal.
Neither Walmart nor Kroger has so far provided training
on when and how to approach a gun-toting customer, nuanced knowledge that
security experts say is critical. In break-room conversations and on internet
bulletin boards, workers have voiced complaints that they are being placed in
harm’s way.
Employees of Kroger, a unionized grocery, enjoy greater job protections than
others and have been among the most vocal. The company has already received
requests from some locals for information on how the policy will be enforced and
by whom.
“They have no idea how it’s going to work,”
said Jonathan Williams, communications director at the United Food and
Commercial Workers Union Local 400, which represents about 10,000 workers in
Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. “We have a lot to figure
out.”
Retailers need to figure out how willing their employees are to approach someone
openly carrying a firearm, explained Katherine Schweit, a Washington consultant.
A former FBI agent, Schweit has worked on security matters with Walgreens,
Walmart and other retailers.

What the CEO’s Are Concerned About
Retail Industry Vet
Walter Loeb Would Know:
With The Secondhand Designer Market Booming,
Consumers Should Be Wary Of Fakes
 Secondhand clothes are the rage right now. Many young people, especially those millennials who do not want to own anything of value, like to acquire secondhand
designer clothes at substantial savings.
In the past, physical stores that sold secondhand merchandise were often tied
into nonprofits and other charitable organizations. More recently, we see resale
shops all over the internet as well. And now, as I have reported, Macy’s and
J.C.Penney also will have secondhand clothes for sale.
Many designers take steps to protect their property.
Balenciaga sneakers
have four stripes on their heel to assure buyers and fans that the shoes are
real. Hermes handbags
have a heat stamp inside the bag that is either in gold or silver, depending on
the hardware on the bag. Certainly, there are date codes, service tags, and some
holograms that protect designer bags. Since 2003,
Louis Vuitton
has pioneered a fight against counterfeiting targeting “intermediaries” such as
landlords, courier companies, and others. It has been very effective in certain
counterfeiting hotspots such as New York’s Canal Street.
The Louis Vuitton Intellectual Property Department manages over 18,000
intellectual property rights including trademarks, designs, and copyrights
with support of 250 agents around the world. Thanks to this dedicated team of
lawyers and former law-enforcement professionals, based in Paris with offices
around the world, thousands of anti-counterfeiting raids are performed each
year. In 2017, as a result of their actions, 6,000 litigious websites were shut
down and more than 120,000 auctions were terminated.

Watchdog Slams PCAOB Oversight of Big Four
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has been too lenient with the Big
Four accounting firms over audit deficiencies, resulting in only $6.5 million in
fines during its 16-year history, according to a new
report.
The Project on Government Oversight (POGO), an independent watchdog, said its
analysis of PCAOB annual inspection reports showed the board has in key respects
been
doing “a feeble job” policing the Big Four.
In the 808 cases in which the Big Four performed audits that were so defective
that the audit firms should not have vouched for a company’s financial
statements, internal controls, or both, only 18 resulted in PCAOB enforcement
actions, POGO found.
The report recommends reforms including requiring the PCAOB to clearly identify
companies referenced in inspection reports and the individual auditors
responsible for alleged audit deficiencies.

FDA slams vaping company Juul for illegal marketing practices,
threatens fines or seizure
Federal health officials slammed vaping company Juul on Monday for illegally
advertising its nicotine pods as a safer alternative to cigarettes, threatening
to fine or even seize the company’s products if it doesn’t correct its
marketing.
The Food and Drug Administration sent a
warning letter to CEO Kevin Burns after reviewing testimony from two days of
hearings in the U.S. House on Juul in July. FDA investigators found the company
broke the law “by selling or distributing them as modified risk tobacco products
without an FDA order in effect that permits such sale or distribution.”

Time to reconsider your workplace policy on e-cigarettes?
Illnesses, Deaths Tied to Vaping
The use of electronic cigarettes, also known as vaping, is believed to be
responsible for five deaths and 450 severe lung injuries in what appears to be a
nationwide epidemic, according to new reports. While most employers ban smoking
in the workplace, their policies don't always extend to e-cigarette products.

How Walmart and other retailers are trying to recruit more teenage employees
Of Walmart's 1.4 million U.S. workers, less than 25,000 are in high school. The
company acknowledges that’s a very small percentage, and it’s especially small
when compared to other companies in its industry. So
Walmart is
trying a new recruiting approach: offering high school students free SAT and ACT
prep, subsidizing a large chunk of their tuition, and the chance to earn some
college credit.
Hiring employees early on in their careers comes with a number of benefits. It
costs less to employ them, and it’s typically easier to train them to fit the
company’s needs, since there are no old habits that need to be broken.
Others have also caught on to the advantages of hiring teens.
Starbucks, McDonald’s, Disney, and Chipotle
all offer similar education benefits. However, teenagers aren’t working nearly
as much as they used to. Back in the 70s, nearly 45 percent of teens were
working part-time jobs. In 2018, the national average fell to about 29 percent.

Balancing BOPIS & Loss Prevention
Buy Online Pickup in Store (BOPIS) is becoming a must-have service for retailers
of all sizes. Consumers now expect the convenience of online ordering,
especially through mobile devices, and quick pick-up no matter how big the
retailer is. Unfortunately, the percentage of fraudulent BOPIS purchases is
above average with retailers reporting a loss of 3-5% (with some as high as 10%
or more).
Enabling the convenience of BOPIS without forsaking massive loss is the delicate
balance that Loss Prevention professionals now face which is why we've created
this easy guide to balancing BOPIS and LP.
This whitepaper covers:
-
Benefits & Challenges to BOPIS that every retailer should know
-
The key
indicators present during cases of BOPIS-related fraud
-
Why
analytics & reporting are at the heart of any successful BOPIS strategy

Right or Wrong? Depends On Whose
Team They're On
In the spirit of the NFL kicking off this weekend
and my coincidental trip to Vegas at the same time, I thought it would be
relevant to discuss the clear and obvious bias that fans have when evaluating a
players decision-making process or a referee throwing the yellow flag. No, I’m
not talking about the insanity that is Antonio Brown and the inability to fit
his large head into a regular sized helmet, but rather the simple fact that we
judge people differently based on what jersey they are wearing at the time.
Regardless of the sport, there seems to be breaking news on the daily of an
athlete committing some type of ill-advised decision. Truth be told, for some of
these players it’s a good thing that Madden does not have an “Ethics” category
in their ratings system.
However, whether its illicit drug use, physical abuse or deflating footballs
most people tend to fall victim to a bias that prohibits them from rationally
evaluating the situation. We’ve all been there before, where somebody we respect
or “root for” on a weekly basis is alleged to have tipped the scale in an
unfavorable direction. There a variety of biases at play here, including the
halo effect which makes it difficult for us to see anything negative when it
involves a person or image that we have placed on a pedestal. If the player is
on a rival team and there is suspicion of unethical behavior we immediately join
the bandwagon of “I told you so”, but if they were a star player on your team –
would you think differently?

'It Takes Restraint': A Seasoned CISO's Sage Advice for New CISOs
Todd Fitzgerald wrote the books on being a chief information security officer.
Here he offers tips on what to do and what not to do in the first few months of
a new CISO job.
1. A New CISO's First Priority: Listening
Practice patience. "It takes restraint to not suggest solutions in those first
few weeks," Fitzgerald says. "But I think one of the most important things to do
first is understand the culture of the organization."
A period of listening and observing is paramount to comprehend why things are
being done the way they are, he says. Preconceived notions will only hinder your
efforts to understand what makes employees tick, he says.
It is also a time to understand where the security department has been and what
changes might be expected going forward. "Was there a recent data breach? Why
are you there? Why is your predecessor gone?" he advises asking.
2. Meet Your Team
Plan to have one-on-one meetings with your direct reports to understand their
strengths, weaknesses, and insights on security strategy. Tap their
institutional knowledge and build trust so they know they can come to you with
concerns and feedback.
It's also a time to get to know the multigenerational workforce dynamics on the
team. Fitzgerald devotes an entire chapter of his latest book to the topic. In a
blog post from Ken Xie, CEO of Fortinet, he notes there are now three
generations of security workers. The first generation founded initial security
efforts and departments and were focused on securing network connections with
legacy tools and strategies. The second generation of security continued to
protect traditional networks in new ways. Now a third generation is emerging to
protect digital organizations.
Each of these security team members will bring different perspectives about the
mission and goals of your security efforts. It is important to understand each
of them by taking the time to have listening sessions.
3. Build Bonds Outside Security, 4. Focus on Driving the Business,
5. Finally, Make an Action Plan Read the full article here:

Food waste? There's an app for that
The World Wastes Tons of Food. A Grocery
‘Happy Hour’ Is One Answer.
Although increasing numbers of consumers agonize over ways to reduce their
carbon footprint, the climate change consequences related to the world’s food
waste is rarely given much consideration, The New York Times writes. Yet,
moderating the waste is “one of the few personal habits that can help the
planet.”
In Europe, nimble retailers and startups are using apps to alert consumers to
food nearing its expiration date at their stores and using drastic markdowns to
lure them into buying the items so they won't be discarded.

FedEx Dumps Amazon - Now Powering Walmart's E-Commerce Delivery
FedEx to focus on the 51% Amazon doesn't have
FedEx delivered some 55% of all of Walmart's packages in Q2 2019. When FedEx
dumped Amazon, which accounted for less than 1.3% of FedEx's 2018 revenue, the
shipping giant underlined the opportunities available for online retailers
outside of Amazon.
Within e-commerce, FedEx and Walmart have a particularly close relationship.
Along with moving the majority of Walmart's online shipments, FedEx is
rolling out Office locations in 500 Walmart stores nationwide where
customers can print, ship, and pick up deliveries — a move that analysts said
gives an edge to Walmart against Amazon.
FedEx Extra Hours— a new service offering in which FedEx picks up a customer's
order from a store, then delivers it to the customer's home.

Target and Walmart are digitizing back-to-school shopping
Big-box stores like Target and Walmart are utilizing tools that essentially take
the shopping out of shopping. Target’s
School List Assist and Walmart’s
Teacher’s Shelf are two online services that invite parents to search by
school for their kids’ classroom-specific school supplies lists. One-click
shopping cuts to the chase even more: List items can be added right to shoppers’
carts for delivery or curbside pickup, likening the service to online registries
for kids.
According to data shared by marketing intelligence firm MiQ, American
shoppers make around 16 trips to stores for back-to-school stuff between July
and September, and they spend over $500 per family.

According to Lori Myles with the sheriff's office, the chase started on Old
Pascagoula Road. Deputies were called to the area to respond to a burglary.
Investigators said the white car fits the description of a vehicle that has been

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
New York, NY: Homeless and mentally ill man facing four years in jail for
stealing four pairs of socks from Bloomingdale's
Qulon McCain was stopped by a security guard and arrested after allegedly being
caught with four pairs of socks. But instead of being charged petty larceny
with, the 43-year-old was held on a third degree burglary count, a felony that
carries a prison sentence of two to four years. The increase in charge comes
from a tactic used by Bloomingdale's and other retailers that sees shoplifters
issued 'trespass notices', then if they are stopped in the building again they
are slapped with a felony. McCain, who has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia,
was reportedly off his medications, living on the street and using drugs when a
guard caught him with the socks. His case was one of 47 petty crimes - stealing
less than $1,000 worth of goods - that Manhattan public defenders dealt with in
2018 that were increased in this way, according to the New York Daily News.

Fayetteville, NC: Men in 'SWAT team attire' tried to rob Domino's Pizza
Fayetteville Police have arrested one suspect and are searching for two others
after an early morning robbery at a Domino's Pizza. Police said three suspects
wearing ski masks entered the business armed with a handgun. The suspects
demanded money and forced an employee to hand over his cellphone and wallet,
police said. Thirty minutes later, around 1:30 p.m., officers responded to a
second Domino's location along Cliffdale Road, where police said a "suspicious"
black Ford F-150 was spotted. The store manager of the Cliffdale Road location
immediately locked the doors to the business, police said. Since they could not
enter the business, they fled the scene. When officials tried to stop the truck,
the suspects jumped from it to flee from the officers. Officers were able to
apprehend one of the suspects.

Sometimes you have to lose in order to win long term. Picking your battles is an
art that many never acquire, but those that do are usually two steps ahead of
you. So while the loss may seem to set you back, regroup and focus two steps
ahead because that's where the winner of the last battle is. And remember always
lose with dignity and win with humility.
Just a Thought,
Gus
