Protos Security Whitepaper
Leveraging Law Enforcement and Security Measures to Combat ORC
Organized
retail crime (ORC) poses a significant challenge to law enforcement and
society as a whole. While it is well known that financial losses, public
safety concerns, and broader societal impacts are all part of these
issues, it is challenging to find a solution as crime rates continue to
rise. The purpose of this whitepaper is to explore the role of law
enforcement in combating organized retail crime. Retailers and consumers
alike are negatively affected, which results in billions of dollars in
losses each year. In order to effectively address this issue, law
enforcement must work collaboratively with retailers and other
stakeholders.
We present strategies and recommendations to
enhance the fight against ORC, contributing to the protection of
businesses and the safety of communities. A number of challenges
associated with ORC are outlined, as well as strategies and best
practices that retailers should follow to collaborate effectively with
law enforcement and other stakeholders. The whitepaper also discusses
solutions and strategies to combat this growing problem.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act Makes More Headlines
Bipartisan proposal aim to crack down on organized retail crime nationwide
From
expensive perfume to heavy-duty machinery, organized retail crime is hitting
stores and shops from coast to coast. The
National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates these crime sprees represent
more than $112 billion in retail sale losses in 2022 alone.
Congresswoman Kim Schrier says these crimes often don’t
involve local criminals but organized retail crime gangs. On Capitol
Hill, she’s of several
Democrats and Republicans pushing for the
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, which would increase federal
support to try to tackle these issues.
It would also create a Department of Homeland Security center dedicated
to coordinating federal law enforcement efforts to fight these types of crimes.
Congresswoman Schrier said she wants to see tougher penalties for these
crimes that are already changing how we shop nationwide.
Federal law enforcement agencies say these crimes can directly affect shoppers
too. Between the stolen merchandise and heightened security measures, the
average family may pay
$500
dollars a year in additional costs.
Currently, Operation Boiling Point is Homeland Security
Investigations’ (HSI) response to organized theft groups profiting from
organized retail crime. According to Homeland Security, this division
has 7,100 special agents and “relies on task force officers from federal, state,
and local law enforcement agencies to combat transnational criminal
organizations.”
This legislation isn’t the only effort to try to crack down on these crimes.
The
National Retail Federation says at least 32 states have passed their own
laws as well. But with incidents crossing state lines, the organization
reports 87% of retailers surveyed say a federal law is still needed.

California's Fight Against ORC Is Paying Off
Investments to combat organized retail theft lead to arrest of 10K+ suspects
California’s largest-ever single investment to fund local law enforcement
efforts to combat retail and property crime continues to pay off. Today, the
state reported that law enforcement agencies that received Organized Retail
Theft grants have used the Governor’s investments totaling more than
$267 million to make 10,138 arrests and to hire
additional law enforcement officers and staff.
Real results to combat theft
Through a $242 million state investment, 31 city police departments and seven
sheriffs’ offices have increased arrests by 46% in the recent quarter,
bringing total arrests to 10,138 suspects,
including nearly 8,000 for organized retail theft. Additionally,
8,736 cases were referred for prosecution,
while agencies hired new staff, implemented data collection tools, and reviewed
racial bias policies for surveillance practices. The ORT Vertical Prosecution
Grant, providing $24.8 million to 13 district attorneys’ offices, has led to
charges against 1,643 organized crime suspects, with 467 people convicted so
far.
Stronger enforcement. Serious penalties. Real
consequences.
This follows Governor Newsom’s recent signing of the most significant
bipartisan legislation to crack down on property crime in modern California
history. Building on the state’s robust laws and record public safety
funding, these bipartisan bills establish tough new penalties for repeat
offenders, provide additional tools for felony prosecutions, and crack down
on serial shoplifters, retail thieves, and auto burglars.
More officers. More enforcement.
The Governor’s investments in public safety are producing strong results. 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. And since January 2024, CHP’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force is on
track to surpass the work in 2023, making 1,123 arrests and recovering more than
$8 million worth of stolen goods. Though the year is still ongoing, the CHP has
already surpassed the total investigations of any prior year and made more
arrests than any year prior to 2023. Since the task force’s inception in 2019,
the CHP has arrested more than 3,200 suspects, recovered over 880,276 stolen
items worth over $46 million, and conducted 3,045 investigations.

Newsom Calls Prop 36 a 'Lazy Response to a
Serious Issue'
Gov. Newsom touts California's retail theft effort, restates opposition to
heavily favored Prop. 36
After a visit across the state’s border with Mexico, Gov. Gavin Newsom touted
California’s efforts from the past year to tackle organized retail theft and
other property crimes that have driven
overwhelming support for a ballot measure that would toughen penalties for
theft and drug crimes.
The two issues are inextricably linked, as Newsom and his legislative allies
have recently
passed a package of anti-theft bills to undercut the purpose of Proposition
36, perhaps the most prominent statewide voter initiative on the Nov. 5
ballot
In a virtual news conference Monday, Newsom highlighted the latest results of a
$267 million funding blitz for state and local law enforcement to tackle
property crimes, including the organized retail thefts and smash-and-grab thefts
that have captured wide attention through in countless viral videos. To
date, the effort launched in September 2023 has yielded just over 10,000 arrests
for retail, auto and cargo theft cases, according to Newsom’s office and the
California Highway Patrol.
But the broader direction of the news conference, once reporters were allowed to
ask Newsom questions, pivoted back to
Proposition 36, the ballot measure that aims to drive down serial theft by
undoing the $950 threshold for a theft to be charged as a felony, and
stiffen punishments for drug dealing that has fueled the fentanyl and opioid
crises. It also would revive a drug court infrastructure that provides those
arrested for certain kinds of drug possession with the choice to enter
court-monitored rehab or face up to three years in jail.
The measure is receiving
around 70% support from California voters according to multiple polls
released over the past month, and looks headed toward a comfortable passage next
Tuesday. Newsom acknowledged as much Monday, referring to “the prevailing wind,”
but reiterated his opposition to the measure, calling it “a very lazy
response to a serious issue and a complicated issue” that encompasses drug
abuse and homelessness.

Another California City Wages War on ORC &
Violent Crime
Authorities begin surge operation to combat crime in San Bernardino
The operation aims to crack down on organized retail theft and violent
crime.
A new surge operation to combat violent crime in San Bernardino started
on Monday. San Bernardino has a violent crime rate
nearly double the statewide average and a homicide rate over three
times the average, according to the state. The city is Newsom's latest target in
a year-long push to reduce crime.
“We are sending additional CHP support to help local law enforcement
aggressively suppress criminal activity and provide this community with a new
level of safety and accountability,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
The governor also says the state's focus on retail crime is seeing results,
as well. The 38 cities and counties that received $267 million dollars in
"Organized Retail Theft grants" have made 10,138 arrests so far, of which nearly
8,000 were for organized retail theft.
"This year, our City Police Department’s efforts have led to a 13% reduction
in violent crime,” San Bernardino Helen Tran said. “And the extra support
will strengthen public safety in our community.

How the perception of crime, not data, could sway New York voters
Over 2,000 Store Closures in 2024
Why so many retail stores are still closing
For many retailers, business is still tough, but the environment may be
turning.
This year, 13 major companies have said they will shut
down more than 2,000 stores around the country. That's on top of
4,548 in 2023, 3,818 in 2022, 5,228 in 2021 and nearly 9,700 in 2020. And
there are more beyond that: small companies with just a few stores or maybe just
a neighborhood mom-and-pop operation.
The forces driving these closures fit into one or more buckets, including:
• The Covid-19 pandemic. It's
the public-health-infused socioeconomic crisis that keeps on giving. Retailers
were body-slammed in 2020 into 2021 by the Covid-generated slump. But the
pandemic is also responsible for many continuing closures.
• Inflation. Yes, inflation
has been a problem. Freight rates jumped as Covid-19 eased and life resumed.
Rising fuel and energy costs cut into profit margins. Labor costs, in many
cases, have risen faster than sales. As important, many customers have been
telling economic researchers (and politicians) they must cut back on personal
spending. Retailers, hit by higher financing costs on inventories, are forced to
cut prices to keep shoppers, but that guts profit margins.
• Changing shopping patterns.
Online shopping now accounts for at least 15% of all U.S. retail sales,
according to CapitalOne data, and may double by 2030. Online now includes far
more than Amazon.com (AMZN) . Walmart (WMT) , Target (TGT) , Costco (COST) and
others are investing in their online capacities. Shopping malls have been
struggling for years in part because shoppers have been moving or changing
buying habits. Big chains would rather run stores near their customers.
• Intense competition. If you
own a small bookstore, your problem is the Amazon effect: A shopper comes into
your shop, sees a book of interest and orders it online. That, of course, is
just a piece of the competitive challenge. High-end retailers are struggling to
find goods that high-end customers want. A bigger problem: Big-box retailers
have been revamping stores and cutting prices (thanks to better terms from
vendors). That undercuts the profit margins of smaller operators.
• Too many stores. An
uncomfortable truth is that by 2018 U.S. retailers occupied 23.5 square feet per
person, the most in the world. Canada and Australia were second and third at
16.8 square feet and 11.2 square feet, respectively. Then, the pandemic erupted.

The Lasting Business Impact of the Pandemic
Restaurants made big changes to cope with the pandemic. Lots of them have stuck.
From QR code menus to self-ordering kiosks, a couple of pandemic-driven
changes have actually stuck in American restaurants.
1. The QR code revolution: The use of QR
codes in restaurants surged during the pandemic. First introduced to replace
paper menus, they have now become commonplace.
2. Cleaning out in the open: You may have
noticed some restaurants are now a lot more keen to show just how clean they
are. "After COVID, it not only became more acceptable but even encouraged to
visibly showcase the level of cleanliness."
3. A whole lot of waste: Many cafés appear
to have retreated from efforts to promote the reusable cup. Before the
lockdowns, great strides were being made to discourage disposable utensils.
4: Self-service kiosks are everywhere:
Self-service kiosks have found their way into restaurants, grocery stores, and
even furniture retailers. This was already a trend, but it accelerated during
the pandemic and has continued in the US since.
5. The turn toward takeout: Food delivery
services became a go-to during the pandemic — this hasn't entirely changed. This
brought about a pivot to how we eat non-home-cooked meals.
6. Less experienced workers: "Restaurant
closures during COVID lockdowns encouraged a lot of seasoned hospitality workers
— from cooks to waiters — to find employment in other industries," King said.
"They took decades worth of institutional memory with them," she added. It
doesn't help that there's a shortage of workers in the hospitality industry.

The Importance of Cybersecurity Expertise
Why Cybersecurity Acumen Matters in the C-Suite
Until CEOs and boards prioritize learning more about mitigating threats,
organizations are leaving themselves and their businesses open to the potential
for disaster.
With the mounting, competitive pressure to leverage generative artificial
intelligence (GenAI), now is the time for CEOs to better understand the
technology themselves.
Cybersecurity deserves this same level of attention
— and so does the discrepancy between C-level enthusiasm and skill level.
Leveraging AI tools, cybercriminals and their attacks have become more
sophisticated, and with this technology comes a swath of security concerns when
used in a company environment. As GenAI use grows within organizations, so does
tension across executive teams and in the boardroom, especially as the chief
information security officer (CISO) role shifts in remit. We're also seeing
significant spikes in data breaches. All of this coalesces to signal the need
for more cybersecurity acumen across the C-suite in order to provide leadership
and guidance to firms.
Why? Because enduring companies understand how to navigate one of the
most common and consequential risks in business.
Improved Strategic Decision-Making, Resource
Allocation, and Collaboration
Cybersecurity acumen at the top of the org chart can significantly impact the
company's overall security posture and ability to manage risk. This, in turn,
translates into several additional benefits for the company.
For starters, companies can now integrate security into decision-making
processes and strategic direction. This should never be an afterthought.
Cyber-risk lurks everywhere and crops up in more decisions than people realize.
It's not just in overly simple passwords or opening phishing emails;
software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools can serve as an easy entry point for
man-in-the-middle attacks that threaten businesses.
Leaders in 2024 must recognize the need for security. While businesses
have access to incredible levels of technology that can help a company thrive,
so do malicious actors. Understanding the variety of sources a threat can stem
from better equips a leader to make strategic choices that bolster the
protection of data and intellectual property, rather than put it at further
risk.

Next President Faces Unfinished Cyber Business
Cyber task force has a long to-do list for next president
The change in leadership presents an opportunity to assess what’s working,
where adjustments could be made and areas that are in most need of
prioritization, the McCrary Institute said.
When
the next president and their administration takes office in January, they
will confront perennial problems and a long list of unfinished cyber business.
A group of 40 cybersecurity experts from McCrary Institute for Cyber and
Critical Infrastructure at Auburn University and the Cyberspace Solarium
Commission 2.0 released 39 recommendations last week to provide a roadmap for
how the incoming administration can address gaps in cyber defense.
The most pressing recommendations — priorities for the first 100 days of the
next administration — include regulatory harmonization and a review of the
national cybersecurity strategy the Biden administration released in March
2023. The recommendations also call on the administration to prioritize efforts
to address the cyber workforce shortage and strengthen public-private
partnerships.
The task force insists the time for bold, decisive action is now. While
the recommendations in the report don’t break new ground, they do emphasize and
reinforce goals long sought by the current and previous administrations.

Phishers reach targets via Eventbrite services
Crooks are leveraging the event management and ticketing website Eventbrite to deliver
their phishing emails to potential targets.
“Since July, these attacks have increased 25% week over week, resulting
in a total growth rate of 900%,” Perception Point researchers say.
The phishing emails impersonate legitimate companies
The phishing emails look like they are coming from Eventbrite because they are,
but their content is crafted to impersonate legitimate businesses such as
NLB Group (financial institution), EnergyAustralia (energy company), DHL
(delivery service), Qatar Post (post service), and others.

The War Against Fake Online Reviews
Amazon, Google sue over fake online reviews
The dual complaints in federal court target sellers of fake reviews for
retailers and local businesses that market on the web giants.
Amazon and Google filed separate complaints Monday against a Bangladeshi man
and multiple others they said peddled fake reviews starting last year for
products sold on Amazon and for local businesses that advertise on Google
Maps. The companies are seeking injunctions and damages against the effort from
district courts in their home states of Washington and California.
The companies named Proloy Pondit, listed as a resident of Bangladesh, and a
site he controlled, Bigboostup.com, along with as many as 20 unknown defendants.
Pondit, who lists his professional expertise on LinkedIn as digital media and
search engine marketing, said in a brief note to Legal Dive that he had “not
sold any product,” adding “I will not do anything that harms people.”
Both companies said they use technology and other means to police the reviews
posted on their digital properties and have gone to court previously against
other “bad actors” providing and posting fake reviews. Pondit and the other
defendants posted more than 1,000 fake reviews on Google via their site,
according to Google’s complaint.
Amazon and Google consider the legitimacy of customer reviews a critical
aspect of their business as millions of people use these to shape their
shopping selections for a retail item, restaurant or hair salon.
Amazon said in a
blog post Monday that it took legal action against “more than 150 bad
actors” last year who attempted to “engage in reviews abuse” in the U.S.,
China and Europe. The company also removed more than 250 million suspect reviews
in 2023.

AI-Enabled Shopping Assistant
Amazon brings its Rufus AI shopping assistant to more international markets
Amazon is extending the availability of its AI-enabled shopping assistant,
Rufus, to more markets in Europe and the Americas.
The ecommerce giant has been widely considered to be playing catchup with its
Big Tech brethren in the AI sphere, particularly against the backdrop of the
generative AI hype these past couple of years. Rufus is one of the ways Amazon
is showing that it’s up for the game. Key features the tool offers include
product search support, product comparisons, and recommendations on what to buy.
The AI chatbot has been trained on Amazon’s arsenal of data, spanning customer
reviews, product catalogs, and other tangential public data to be primed to
answer shoppers’ natural language questions — such as: “can you recommend some
great gifts for kids under 5?,” or “compare different kinds of coffee makers.”

The "rumor mill" is a very treacherous and unforgiving world of fact and fiction
that at times is filled with innuendos, accusations, untruths, and whatever gets
added to the information being talked about regarding companies and people.
Participating in it is human nature and we all know third-party information
leaves a lot to be desired. So the rule of thumb should be to be cautious about
believing, try not to form an opinion until you've heard both sides, understand
the agendas that everyone has, and most importantly be careful about what you
say.
