Two Former Ebay Employees Plead Guilty To Aggressive Cyberstalking Campaign Targeting Natick, MA Couple

Two former employees of eBay, Inc. pleaded guilty today to their roles in a cyberstalking campaign targeting the editor and publisher of a newsletter that eBay executives viewed as critical of the company.

Stephanie Popp, 32, of San Jose, Calif., eBay’s former Senior Manager of Global Intelligence, and Veronica Zea, 26, of San Jose, Calif., a former eBay contractor who worked as an intelligence analyst in eBay’s Global Intelligence Center (GIC), pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses. Scheduled sentencing for Feb. 25, 2021.

Popp and Zea were charged along with co-defendants Brian Gilbert, 51, of San Jose, Calif., a former Senior Manager of Special Operations for eBay’s Global Security Team and Stephanie Stockwell, 26, of Redwood City, Calif., the former manager of eBay’s GIC.

Retail Top Leading Activity for Workplace Homicides

Report: Death on the Job - The Toll of Neglect  

Workplace violence 2nd leading cause of occupational fatalities

The 29th edition of Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect features state and federal data on worker fatalities, injuries and illnesses, as well as worker protections. The report is put together by the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO), the largest federation of unions in the U.S.

In particular, the report examines some of the industries and workers most affected by the pandemic. Data shows that at least 163,000 health care workers have been infected by COVID-19, and 713 have died as of the end of September, while the meatpacking, food processing and farming industries reported more than 58,000 infections and 238 deaths from April 22 to September 16.

According to the report, susceptible work environments include indoor workplaces, those with poorly ventilated spaces or crowded working conditions, and where workers are in proximity to infected individuals.

Other statistics in the report include that workplace violence accounted for 828 deaths, including 453 homicides. Workplace violence was the second leading cause of occupational fatalities, behind transportation incidents (2,080 deaths).

A third of the fatalities involved workers 55 and older, while those 65 or older had a fatality rate of 9.6 per 100,000 workers. The overall fatality rate was 3.5 per 100,000 workers.

States with the highest fatality rates were Wyoming (11.5 per 100,000 workers), Alaska (9.9), North Dakota (9.6), West Virginia (7.9) and South Dakota (6.9). securitymagazine.com

Editor's Note: The D&D Daily's 2018 Retail Violent Fatalities report shows that there were 488 retail-related deaths that year. Of those deaths, 108 were retail associates - 20 of whom were killed in a homicide/suicide and 14 were killed by a former co-worker or relative. So the 46 retail homicides reported in the AFL-CIO data were loosely in line with our own reporting, which is basely only on publicly reported data. Another similarity we found was the gender breakdown, with men making up a large share of homicides.

Protests


In St. Paul and Minneapolis, hundreds join in second night of protests

No arrests were reported after the marches wrapped up Thursday, one night after 51 people were taken into custody

Protesters took to the streets for a second night Thursday to decry the release of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd on May 25.

The rallies — one in St. Paul, one in Minneapolis — came on the heels of a march Wednesday night in south Minneapolis that ended when 51 people were arrested near the Police Department’s Fifth Precinct headquarters. As of 10:15 p.m. Thursday, the rallies appeared to have wrapped up, and no one had been arrested.

At the St. Paul event, dubbed the Secret March, hundreds of people, including family members of Minnesotans killed by police, marched down University Avenue to the State Capitol. The marchers carried signs bearing the names of 100 people killed by police in Minnesota, along with five coffins and a sign that said, “Who will be next?” startribune.com

COVID Cases Trending Up Across All U.S. Regions
U.S. reporting more than 46,000 positive Covid-19 tests on average every day

The US is averaging more than 46,000 new Covid-19 infections each day -- up 12% from the previous week and more than double what the country was seeing in June, as lockdown restrictions were easing.

On Thursday, the number of cases reported in the country -- 57,191 -- was the highest in almost two months, and 10 states saw their highest seven-day averages of new daily cases.

And where in the past just one or a few regions were experiencing a growth in cases, infections are now on the rise across all regions.

It's a case count that experts warn is far too high, ahead of what's forecast to be a challenging -- and deadly -- winter season. The latest US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ensemble forecast says US Covid-19 deaths could reach 233,000 by the end of this month. cnn.com

Teamsters Prepare To Strike Against Some SoCal Grocers
More than 4,000 Teamster warehouse workers and truck drivers that deliver food and supplies to Southern California grocery stores are facing the possibility of a work shutdown. Grocery supply chain workers and their employers – Albertsons (includes Vons and Pavilions) and Kroger (includes Ralphs and Food4Less) – have been in contract negotiations since early August. The workers’ contract expired on Sept. 20 and both parties agreed to an extension. However, with no meaningful progress on the key issue of health care, on Tuesday, Oct. 6, Teamster negotiators say they had no choice but to give a 72-hour notice to cancel the contract extension and prepare to strike. theshelbyreport.com

Retailers Brace for a Black Friday Without Crowds
Pandemic fears, distancing requirements, and job losses could dampen holiday madness.

Traditional brick-and-mortar holiday shopping has been declining for a decade as consumers flock to e-commerce, and the Covid-19 outbreak and recession will only hasten its fall. With barely seven weeks left, merchants are scrambling to prepare stores and websites to make up for lost time.

The holiday playbook of opening stores right after family Thanksgiving feasts, lining the weekend with doorbuster sales, and cramming shops with inventory and workers has been thrown out the window. Stores will be reconfigured, with fewer racks on the floor and service stations spread farther apart. Online sales will take center stage. Supply chains will be strained like never before as businesses try to keep up with record e-commerce purchases, with distribution centers hiring tens of thousands more workers to package and ship orders.

“This will go down as the most difficult holiday season to prepare for, whether you’re a retailer, a vendor, or anything in between,” says Joel Bines, co-head of retail consulting at AlixPartners LLP. bloomberg.com

Curbside Pickup Emerging as Store Savior & Cabin Fever Escape
The popularity of curbside pickup reveals that the future of retail is not just more packages piling up on people’s doorsteps. Beyond satisfying the need for contactless shopping in the pandemic, it taps into Americans’ desire to drive to a store, a pull that can be just as strong as, or even stronger than, the convenience of home delivery.

“Americans are used to their cars and actually do like stores, so this is kind of a hybrid where you’re getting the best of both worlds,” said Oliver Chen, a retail analyst at Cowen.

As of August, about three-fourths of the top 50 store-based retailers in the United States offered curbside pickup. Target curbside up 700%, 41% of Best Buy's Q2 online sales.

The rise in curbside pickup, part of a larger surge in e-commerce sales, has implications for preserving retail jobs, though workers’ duties are likely to transform. It is also helping to keep brick-and-mortar spaces relevant when thousands of storefronts have emptied out as more customers move online. nytimes.com

Solutions for Covid-safe retailing
 

For over 40 years, Sekura Global has been a trusted LP and security partner for the world's leading retailers. Today, changing times have brought a new set of challenges, so Sekura Global has moved quickly to help the world of retail get back to business.

For retailers looking to re-open or ramp-up operations, Sekura Global has a range of Covid-safe solutions to help shoppers and staff feel safer when in-store.


SteryBot®

SteryBot® is an autonomous robot that uses hospital-grade UVC light to sterilise stores during closing hours. It kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses, to create Covid-safe retail environments.

The use of UVC light has long been proven in medical environments that require the strictest standards of sterilisation. SteryBot® combines this technology with autonomous robotics to deliver an essential safety solution for the retail sector.

Proper disinfection of stores has become critical to retailers. Traditional, manual disinfection methods are simply too unreliable and present potential infection risk to staff. That's why we have introduced SteryBot®. Our fully automated disinfection solution ensures an entirely reproducible process that delivers consistent dosage and coverage - without the risk of human error.

Dynamic social distancing system

To help retailers get Covid-safe, Sekura Global offers a next-generation tagging system that enables dynamic social distancing.

Our new system uses ultra-wideband technology to help staff maintain required gaps in the workplace, giving employees personal alerts when they are too close to a colleague. For staff, this brings workplace reassurance. For retailers, this means meeting their social distancing responsibilities while maximising possible staff capacity.

The tagging system also supports contact tracing so, in the event of an infection, business disruption is minimised because any necessary quarantines can be highly targeted.

PPE Essentials

To complete our Covid-safe proposition, we also have a wide range of readily available Personal Protection Equipment. With high stock levels, and a worldwide network of offices, Sekura Global can ensure rapid distribution of these essential products.

Only 27.9% of organizations able to maintain compliance with the PCI DSS
Global organizations continue to put their customers’ cardholder data at risk due to a lack of long term payment security strategy and execution, flags the Verizon report. With many companies struggling to retain qualified CISOs or security managers, the lack of long-term security thinking is severely impacting sustained compliance within the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Cybercriminals still mostly targeting payment data
Payment data remains one of the most sought after and lucrative targets by cybercriminals with 9 out of 10 data breaches being financially motivated, as highlighted by the report. Within the retail sector alone, 99 percent of security incidents were focused on acquiring payment data for criminal use.

On average only 27.9 percent of global organizations maintained full compliance with the PCI DSS, which was developed to help businesses that offer card payment facilities protect their payment systems from breaches and theft of cardholder data.

More concerning, this is the third successive year that a decline in compliance has occurred with a 27.5 percentage point drop since compliance peaked in 2016. helpnetsecurity.com

Number of corporate credentials exposed on the dark web increased by 429%
While there has been a year-over-year decrease in publicly disclosed data breaches, an Arctic Wolf report reveals that the number of corporate credentials with plaintext passwords on the dark web has increased by 429 percent since March.

For a typical organization, this means there are now, on average, 17 sets of corporate credentials available on the dark web that could be used by hackers.

With access to just one corporate account, attackers can easily execute account takeover attacks, which allow them to move laterally within an organization’s corporate network and gain access to sensitive data, intellectual property, competitive information, or funds. helpnetsecurity.com

National Security Agency launches the Center for Cybersecurity Standards
The National Security Agency announced the official launch of the Center for Cybersecurity Standards (CCSS) in the Cybersecurity Directorate. This office will lead NSA’s Cybersecurity mission to engage with standards bodies to communicate security requirements and influence standards to secure our National Security Systems and provide support to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

As the U.S. Government relies increasingly on commercial products to secure National Security Systems (i.e. systems that carry classified or otherwise sensitive information), partnerships with industry help ensure security requirements are built into development processes.

“Our goal is to create cybersecurity improvements through emerging opportunities by working with government partners like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), international partners like Common Criteria, and industry groups to ensure future standards are both strong and practical, matching the level of security needed for each product,” states Neal Ziring, Technical Director, NSA Cybersecurity. nsa.gov

Amazon Pushes for More Covid-19 Disclosures. Companies Say No.
Amazon last week called on other large companies to
share the results of their workplace Covid-19 testing and disclose the rate at which employees are quarantining. So far, their answer appears to be no.

U.S. companies are in the midst of an unprecedented effort to prevent and quickly contain outbreaks as they bring more staff back to
factories, restaurants, offices and entertainment studios.

Companies including
Walmart Inc, Ford Motor Co., Kroger Co. and Smithfield Foods Inc. have provided Covid-19 diagnostic testing to workers with varying degrees of regularity. Some employees are tested daily and others every week. Some firms ship swabs to the homes of employees who fear they have been infected, while others host on-site testing.

Many companies are loath to share their results publicly beyond what they must relay to public health agencies because they aren’t required to.
Some find publishing the information burdensome and don’t want to open themselves up to criticism if trends take a turn for the worse, testing advisers say. wsj.com

Walmart signs trio of drone deals as it races to play catch-up with Amazon
Brent Morgan is one of many Americans who have had a Walmart package dropped off at his home during the coronavirus pandemic. Yet his delivery did not fit the typical mold. A drone flew overhead and dropped a bag in his front lawn. Inside, there was an at-home Covid-19 test kit.

The aerial delivery in Morgan’s Las Vegas neighborhood is part of
a new effort by Walmart to understand how drones could expand its on-demand deliveries and help it better compete with Amazon.

Over the past month, Walmart has announced three deals with drone operators to test different uses for the drones. It’s teamed up with Flytrex to
deliver groceries and household essentials in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It plans to launch another pilot project with Zipline, a company best known for its medical drone deliveries in African countries like Ghana and Rwanda, for on-demand deliveries of health and wellness products early next year. And it’s testing deliveries of at-home Covid-19 test kits with Quest Diagnostics and DroneUp in Las Vegas and Cheektowaga, a suburb of Buffalo, New York. cnbc.com

Staples To Pilot A Drop-Off Program For Easier E-Commerce Returns

Organized Cybercrime That Included Stores Merchandise
Chinese Nationals Involved in $1.1 Million Gift Card Fraud Scheme
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Two Chinese nationals involved in a $1.1 million fraud scheme involving gift cards, have both pleaded guilty and one has been sentenced for their respective roles in the conspiracy.

According to court documents, Yuchen Zhang, 23, of Manassas, and Shouming Sun, 41, of Herndon, were part of a wire fraud conspiracy in which members of the conspiracy contacted victims by telephone or through social media and assumed fictitious identities. The conspirators falsely claimed to be from the Internal Revenue Service or an employee of a financial institution, and falsely told victims they were entitled to money or under some form of immediate financial threat, such as having their personal identification information compromised by known criminals. The co-conspirators used these ruses and others to
trick the victims into purchasing gift cards and then sending to them the gift cards’ redemption codes. The redemption codes allow the gift cards to be redeemed without being in possession of the physical card. Zhang, Sun and others then used the fraudulently obtained redemption codes to purchase goods totaling approximately $1.15 million.

Sun was sentenced today to seven months in prison. Zhang pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison when sentenced on Feb. 10, 2021. justice.gov

Folsom, CA: Walgreens heist leads to pursuit, 3 felony arrests
A mad dash to pilfer a Folsom Walgreens of cosmetic merchandise last Friday evening resulted in the arrest of three women who have been charged with multiple felonies. Shortly after 8 p.m. last Friday, the Folsom Police dispatch center received a report of a theft in progress at Walgreens, on Riley St. The reporting party told dispatchers that three female subjects had quickly filled large trash bags with more than $1,000 worth of cosmetic products and fled. Upon getting the call, Folsom Police officers quickly located the vehicle on Highway 50. During what was considered a high-risk vehicle stop, the Nissan fled from officers, leading them on an approximately 20-mile pursuit, reaching speeds over 120 mph. The pursuit came to an end when the suspects’ vehicle caused a collision on Highway 50. The collision resulted in a pregnant mother being sent to the hospital where they were reported to be OK and later released.
Officers recovered more than $4,000 worth of stolen merchandise, along with several thousand dollars in additional product stolen from a Walgreens location in Citrus Heights earlier the same night. goldcountrymedia.com

Foxboro, MA: CVS Shoplifter was fleeing Police; Go Fund Me created for 74 year old man’s medical bills after being seriously injured, his dog was killed
The man seriously injured in a head-on collision with a car carrying shoplifting suspects allegedly attempting to elude police is recovering but his pet dog, also seriously injured, had to be euthanized, the victim’s lawyer said Wednesday. Edward Fitzpatrick, 74, of a self-employed plumber who lives in Walpole, suffered multiple leg fractures and a ruptured aorta in the crash Sunday but is recovering at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, his lawyer, Mike Santo of Bellmore, N.Y., said. Sadly, his 7-year-old Australian Shepherd Cate was left paralyzed by injuries she suffered in the crash on North Street, Santo said, adding that Fitzpatrick raised Cate from a puppy.

Meanwhile, a Go Fund Me account has been created to pay for medical bills for Cate and help pay for medical bills for Fitzpatrick which are expected to exceed his insurance. Fitzpatrick is facing the likelihood of more surgery, Santo said. Police say Fitzgerald’s truck was struck head on by a car driven by a New York City man while allegedly speeding after a shoplifting incident at CVS at Patriot Place on Route 1. Since it was created Tuesday, the
Go Fund Me account has raised over $18,000.

Meanwhile, police said Wednesday during an ongoing investigation police now believe
the driver of the car and his passenger were involved in not only the CVS shoplifting but numerous other retail pharmacy thefts all over New England and up and down the East Coast. They were targeting expensive over the counter name brand medications, as well as fragrances, and personal health items, according to a press release. A search warrant executed on the suspects’ vehicle yielded over 311 items, valued at over $9,500 in pharmacy merchandise, as well as tools and items commonly used by retail theft rings, according to police. thesunchronicle.com

Competition is a good thing because it's what has made America so strong. Whether it's competition between companies or between executives, it has a tendency to bring out the best in most people and in most organizations. It leads to innovation, invention, growth and it instills a sense of competition in everything we do that tends to motivate and challenge people to reach beyond their own self-definitions of what they can do or can't do. Without it, progress, which is slow to begin with, would be stifled but, with it, you have inspiration and purpose. The whole key is how you compete in the open market, whether as a company or as an executive, reflecting professional standards and a code of ethics is critical even when your competition isn't. The #1 rule should always be never speak ill of the competition because in actuality it's more of a reflection of who you are and not who they are.

Just a Thought,
Gus
