The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Explosion of Retail
Looting & Theft Has Stores on Edge
America's Shoplifting Epidemic On Full Display
This Past Weekend
Organized shoplifting exploits 'woke' undermining of law enforcement
Retail stores already under siege from pandemic restrictions and supply
chain hiccups are increasingly facing another threat to their bottom lines:
organized theft.
The
problem was on vivid display over the weekend when dozens of looters
stormed into a Nordstrom department store outside San Francisco wearing
masks and wielding crowbars. As many as 80 suspects snatched armloads of
products and sped away in more than 20 waiting cars on Saturday. Police have so
far arrested just three suspects in connection with the raid.
Thieves smashed the windows and
looted the high-end goods of a San Francisco Louis Vuitton store over
the weekend as well, creating chaos in a popular area of the city.
The scenes are increasingly familiar in San Francisco and beyond, with
shoplifters taking advantage of more lenient prosecutors, overstretched
police forces, and local laws to clear shelves of goods they then attempt to
sell, often online.
Some stores have responded to the spike in professional shoplifting by simply
shutting their doors. In San Francisco, where the problem has received outsize
attention, Walgreens
announced last month that it would close five locations as a direct result
of organized retail crime.

But aggressive shoplifting is not limited to San Francisco, where California
state law classifies theft of goods valued under $950 as a misdemeanor that may
not warrant the attention of law enforcement.
The problem has spread to stores across the country, draining money from
business owners whose margins are often already thin.
Retail experts have pointed to shifts in consumer behavior as one of the
factors driving the shoplifting epidemic. With more people than ever
shopping for more of their purchases online, thieves have an easier time
offloading the everyday goods they swipe from shelves.

A Growing Nationwide Problem: Retail Looting &
Theft
Mob thefts rock retail. What can stores do?
U.S.
retailers have experienced a rash of highly orchestrated and alarming
smash-and-grab thefts recently, notably in California’s Bay Area and
Chicago.
Around 80 looters flooded a Nordstrom location in Walnut Creek, CA, on Saturday,
stealing armfuls of merchandise and attacking employees with a flurry of
punches, kicks and pepper spray, according to
NBC News. The raid took only one minute. Looters parked their cars to
block the street before carrying out the smash-and-grab.
The previous day an even more widespread episode of mob looting and vandalism
struck San Francisco’s Union Square neighborhood, according to
ABC News. Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Bloomingdale’s numbered among the
10 retailers targeted in that wave of smash-and-grabs.
Malls in Hayward and San Jose were struck on Sunday by mobs of hammer-wielding
looters who ransacked a jewelry store and a Lululemon location, according to the
San Francisco Chronicle. Jim Dudley, a lecturer at San Francisco State
University’s department of criminal justice studies, told the Chronicle that the
raids did not appear to be politically motivated and confirmed that there did
seem to be an uptick in smash-and-grab style theft occurring.
Further east, the Neiman Marcus store in Chicago’s Magnificent Mile luxury
shopping district was robbed on Friday by three carloads of people,
according to the
Chicago Tribune. Another store had its window broken.
Both the Bay Area and Chicago have experienced significant increases in
retail crime over the past year.
The Magnificent Mile has seen such a high rate of theft that in October
police issued a formal warning, according to
CBS Chicago. Some retail tenants have vacated the area, and a stretch of
North Michigan Avenue remains vacant.
Some retailers in San Francisco had taken steps to try to reduce the impact of
organized retail crime. Walgreens, for instance, announced in October the
closure of five San Francisco stores frequently targeted by organized theft
rings, according to
The New York Times.
In 2020 the National Retail Federation (NRF) ranked these cities among the worst
for retail crime along with Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Baltimore, Atlanta,
Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

Another Retailer Sounds the Alarm Over Rising
Theft
Best Buy CEO says the trauma from rising retail thefts could force employees to
quit
Best Buy CEO said that rising thefts could hurt employee retention at its
stores and across the retail industry.
Best Buy CEO Corie Barry said Tuesday that rising theft is hitting the
company’s profits and could hurt employee retention at a time when the labor
market is tight, especially in the retail industry.
She said the retailer has seen a noticeable jump in organized crime, with
people coming to stores to steal consumer electronics — and in some cases,
bringing a weapon like a gun or a crowbar. She said the company will prioritize
the safety of customers and employees, even if that means criminals are running
out of the door with thousands of dollars of merchandise.
“These are traumatic experiences and they are happening more and more across
the country,” she said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.”
Other retailers, including Kroger, CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance, have
also spoken about an increase in theft — with Walgreens even saying it is
closing certain stores because of it.
To fight organized crime, Best Buy is locking up some of its merchandise,
hiring security guards in certain locations and working with retail trade
groups to look for solutions, said Barry on an earnings call.
She said San Francisco and other parts of California
have been “hot spots” for the crimes, but said there are problematic
pockets across the country. In some cases, she said, more than a dozen people
rush in a store and run out with goods. In other cases, it’s just a couple
of people.

California Takes More Action to Fight
Out-of-Control ORC
Governor Newsom Doubles Down on Ending Organized Retail Crime Rings
In
response to a recent increase in organized retail theft activities across the
state, Governor Gavin Newsom has directed the California Highway Patrol (CHP)
to increase their presence near major retail sites and announced a proposed
increase in the 2022-2023 state budget to combat retail theft.
“The level of organized retail theft we are seeing is
simply unacceptable,” said Governor Newsom. “Businesses and customers
should feel safe while doing their holiday shopping. That’s why California is
substantially increasing CHP’s presence, especially near retail areas, and will
be investing even more to aggressively curb retail crime. As a small business
owner myself, I am resolved to holding these criminals accountable and
protecting our local businesses.”
Since the weekend’s string of robberies, the administration has coordinated
with local mayors, police departments and retailers to address the increase in
felony theft. The state has increased the California Highway Patrol presence
in highly-trafficked shopping areas. Saturation patrols will continue through
the holiday season to assist allied partners in the apprehension of criminals as
well as to improve public safety.
Addressing retail crime and safety has been a top priority for the Newsom
Administration. In July, Governor Newsom joined law enforcement leaders and Big
13 mayors to reestablish CHP’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force. Since
its inception, the Task Force has held 773
investigations, leading to the arrests of
240 individuals and over $18.9 million in
stolen merchandise recovered.
The Organized Retail Crime Task Force is responsible for collaborating with
allied law enforcement agencies and district attorneys to identify and
prosecute organized theft rings, recover lost merchandise, collaborate with the
retail industry to reduce theft and improve safety for shoppers.

Retail Crime Remains Top Issue in DA Recall
Attempts & 2022 Top Cop Race
After looters ransack Bay Area stores, crime rises as 2022 state campaign issue
For evidence that crime will likely be a key issue for California voters
in next year’s election, look no further than this weekend.
On
Sunday, a pack of looters
robbed a jewelry store in a Hayward mall, smashing glass cases and
absconding with the valuables into waiting cars. Also Sunday, Walnut Creek
police
recommended that businesses close early, citing intelligence that the
80 thieves who
ransacked a Nordstrom on Saturday night could strike again. Officials
labeled the Nordstrom robbery as “organized retail theft” and said it was
possibly linked to a series of burglaries in San Francisco on Friday night.
In San Francisco,
social
media
videos showed masked looters sprinting out of high-end stores in Union
Square — including Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry and
Bloomingdale’s — with arms full of stolen merchandise worth thousands of
dollars. Police arrested eight suspects and seized two cars and two guns, while
Mayor London Breed
announced plans to restrict vehicle access to Union Square to limit thieves
escaping in getaway cars.
John Chachas, whose family owns luxury retailer Gump’s in Union Square: “The
mayor and her entire team should resign. You can’t really run a retail
enterprise if you have to board up the windows five weeks before the critical
Christmas selling season.”
Adding to the city’s woes, the San Francisco Chronicle published a glut of
stories over the weekend that suggest residents are increasingly frustrated
by its response to crime — and fearful for their own safety.
The flurry of shoplifting and shootings could pose challenges for San
Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin — a progressive prosecutor who’s
facing a recall election in June and is being
blamed for store closures — and Los Angeles County District Attorney
George Gascón, whose controversial policies are the subject of a recent
New York Times Magazine deep dive and driving
a second attempt to recall him. The trends could also prove consequential in
the 2022 elections, when voters will choose California’s next top cop.

Christmas Parade
Killer - Violent Re-Offender Fresh Out of Jail
Low or No Bail Trend Got Christmas Parade
Killer Released Nov. 5th
Waukesha parade attack suspect was out on ‘inappropriately low’ bond, DA admits
Even the DA is investigating the
inappropriate $1,000 bail, given his prior charges and violent history.
The
man arrested over the
deadly Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin should have been behind bars
following an arrest earlier this month, but was released on an “inappropriately
low” bond days before the attack, the district attorney admitted Monday.
Darrell Brooks, 39, is charged with five counts of intentional homicide over the
deadly crash on Sunday in Waukesha that left five dead and at least 48
injured, police said.
Brooks was out on bond at the time of Sunday’s tragedy after he allegedly
punched the mother of his child and purposefully ran her “over with his vehicle”
in a Milwaukee gas station parking lot on Nov. 2, according to court documents.
He
was arrested and charged that same day with resisting or obstructing an officer,
reckless endangering safety, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office said Monday it had launched
an internal probe into how Brooks was given such a low bond given the
seriousness of the charges and his criminal history.

Cases Surge 30% This Month
How to Make Sense of the Latest Covid Surge
It is a maddening development. Almost two years after Covid began spreading, it
is still here, again creating anxiety as Americans prepare to gather for the
holidays. The seemingly obvious explanation for the recent rise in cases is the
weather.
As temperatures have dropped, more activities have moved indoors, where the
Covid virus tends to spread.
And the weather surely plays some role in the surge.
The bad news about the virus’s unpredictability is that surges can sneak up on
us: The lack of a Covid increase across most of northern North America a month
ago was not as reassuring as it may have seemed.
The good news is that the virus can also surprise in pleasant ways.
This winter, cases are not guaranteed to keep rising.
Keep in mind that they peaked in early January last winter, before plummeting
about 75 percent by late February. In coming weeks, I’d encourage you to ignore
most Covid prognostications.
Nobody knows what will happen next.

Vaccine Mandate Legal Fight Continues
Biden seeks to revive workplace vaccine mandate
The Biden administration on Tuesday asked a federal court to
reinstate a workplace vaccine mandate that was put on hold earlier this month.
In court papers filed overnight, the administration
urged a Cincinnati-based federal appeals court to lift a court order blocking
the public health rule,
which requires larger businesses to have employees receive the COVID-19 vaccine
or undergo regular testing and mask-wearing.
“Delaying this standard would endanger many thousands of people and would likely
cost many lives per day,” government lawyers argued. “With the reopening of
workplaces and the emergence of the highly transmissible Delta variant, the
threat to workers is ongoing and overwhelming.”
The administration’s request is
the most significant legal move the administration has made since the case was
moved earlier this month
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, where numerous legal
challenges to the mandate have been combined into a single lawsuit.

Self-Checkout Use Surges During COVID
How Retailers Can Improve Self-Checkout
The technology has gotten better. But it
still has a long way to go.
In 2020, shipments of self-checkout machines increased by 25% globally, as the
pandemic prompted more shoppers to look for a way to avoid contact with other
people, according to research and consulting firm RBR.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/11-23-21wsj.PNG)
And there’s no question that the technology for self-checkout has improved over
the years; shoppers are a lot less likely to get an “unexpected item in the
bagging area,” forcing them to wait for a store employee to clear the way for
them to continue shopping. But the customer experience is still far from
perfect. Customers may face delays due to difficult-to-scan items, an inability
to find the code for a product they’re buying, or weighing errors that require
an employee to fix. Other failure points include bagging and paying. In fact, in
a
survey of 2,000 shoppers and retailers by customer-experience-technology
company Raydiant, 67% said they had experienced some form of failure at a
self-service checkout.
In their effort to address these issues, retailers and researchers have learned
a lot about how things can go wrong with self-checkout, how consumers perceive
the technology, and what retailers need to do to get more people to use it.
People are more willing to use self-checkout, but they can get easily turned
off after a bad experience.
Recent surveys suggest customers are warming up to self-checkout machines.
Before the pandemic, some 30% of consumers preferred using self-checkout, but
that figure jumped to 45% in the first 18 months of the pandemic, according to
Praveen Adhi, a partner at McKinsey who leads the firm’s retail-operations
practice in the Americas. What’s more, the proportion of consumers who said they
would be more likely to use self-checkout than before the pandemic rose to 36%
in August 2021 from 27% in March 2020.

COVID Era Employee Spying - The Pros & Cons
Employer surveillance during COVID has damaged trust
Increasing use of staff surveillance by
employers during the COVID-19 pandemic endangers trust in the workplace,
according to a major new report
The
study, for the European Commission's Joint Research Council, also
warns employers not to sacrifice ethics for the sake of efficiency
as it can backfire leading to mental health issues, productivity decline and
staff resignations.
Webcam photographs, recording keystrokes and movement trackers have all been
increasingly used by employers as millions of workers were forced to work from
home in 2020.
The
demand for employee monitoring software increased by 108 percent
in April 2020, according to the major review of research literature on workplace
surveillance from the past four decades.
Author Professor Kirstie Ball, of the School of Management at the University of
St Andrews, said: "There is a clear need for trust to be rebuilt in the
workplace between staff and employers post-COVID.
"Where monitoring has
a specific purpose such as health and safety, it can actually reassure staff.
Or in development and training it can provide valuable feedback.
"However, it can also have negative impacts too. A heavy focus on monitoring the
quantity of output
can reduce work quality.
"Where there is no explicit purpose for the monitoring, and information is
collected for its own sake, negative attitudes can result including:
perceptions of decreased fairness and justice, decreased satisfaction, increased
stress and a decline in trust."
Excessive monitoring,
according to the report,
can be considered by staff as demonstrating a lack of confidence or belief in
employees. Low trust in
the workplace can then cause a vicious cycle.

Pandemic Whistleblowers
Working From Home Could Be Giving Corporate Whistleblowers the Push They Need
Greater numbers of people working from home during the coronavirus pandemic
could be having an added effect:
More workers feel emboldened to report possible corporate malfeasance
directly to regulators.
The 12,210 tips received by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from the
U.S. and 133 other countries was a
76% increase from the prior year and the largest number the program has received
in a single fiscal year
since the program was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, according to the
whistleblower office’s annual report to Congress published last week.
The tip volume began to increase in spring 2020, when some whistleblower lawyers
began to suggest that the increase
could be linked to would-be tipsters working outside the reach of snooping
colleagues and managers.
The most recent report, while demonstrating the program’s continued success,
also could indicate the remote-working environment might be making tipsters less
concerned about possible workplace intimidation, said Erika Kelton, a partner at
law firm Phillips & Cohen LLP who represents whistleblowers. She added that her
practice also has seen
a steadily increasing number of people reaching out
over the past year.
“There can be a corporate culture of silence and a culture of certain practice
being OK when you’re doing it,” she said. “When
you’re not in the office, that culture becomes very diffused...The
bounds of loyalty [are] a bit lowered as well.”

Facial Recognition & Biometrics
Assessments for image quality in face biometrics improving, new standard TBD
Algorithms for assessing the quality of facial images used in biometric
matching are increasingly effective, but a modern standard that supports
interoperability and can be applied to different use cases may yet be some way
off.
The
European Association for Biometrics (EAB) held the three-day
workshop on
face image quality in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security’s Office of Biometric Identity Management, National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), European Union Agency for the Operational
Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and
Justice (eu-LISA), the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 working group 3 and project iMARS to
explore key topics and themes relating to facial recognition.
Expert speakers on the first day of the event included experts from DHS-OBIM,
and DHS’ Maryland Testing Facility (MdTF), and universities Hochscule Darmstadt
and NTNU.
Day two featured representatives of
Innovatrics,
Biometix,
Neurotechnology,
secunet,
Rank One and
Idemia, among a series of presentations on the implications of image quality
for presentation attack detection (PAD) and industry experiences addressing
facial image challenges.
A panel representing law enforcement agencies from around the world discussed

Airports Are Embracing Facial Recognition. Should We Be Worried?
Walmart Praises Port Progress
Walmart CEO Says Biden Instrumental in Supply Chain Improvements
Amid ongoing concerns about the U.S. supply chain, one major CEO is giving
President Joe Biden props for his handling of the problem.
Speaking to MSNBC on Monday,
Walmart CEO Doug McMillion praised the Biden
administration's actions and noted that they are having a noticeable impact.
He singled out the deal brokered to keep major ports open 24 hours a day as
helping move containers of cargo at a quicker rate.
"The
combination of
private enterprise and government working together has been really successful,"
McMillon said. "We've had a lot of participation, been able to participate in
solving some of these congestion issues, so I would like to give the
administration credit for helping do things like
get the ports open 24 hours a day,
to open up some of the trucking lines...and then all the way through the supply
chain there's been a lot of innovation."
"Each month of the
quarter got stronger.
The number of containers that we're moving through the ports has grown
significantly," he added.
As the administration worked to find solutions to the supply chain issues, the
Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, two of the largest in the U.S.,
saw record-breaking numbers of container ships anchored and waiting to
unload. On October 19,
the ports had a backlog of 100 ships, besting their previous record of 97, which
had been set only a month earlier in September.
Walmart and its competitor Target have notably been able to keep
shelves stocked as the holiday shopping season gets underway.
McMillon told customers that the chain's U.S. inventory was up over 11 percent
in the third quarter. Target also reported that its inventory levels were up 20
percent compared to the same time in 2020.

Supply-Chain Problems Show Signs of Easing
Asian output is coming back and some
bottlenecks are clearing, but labor shortages could persist into next year
Global supply-chain woes are beginning to recede, but shipping, manufacturing
and retail executives say that they don’t expect a return to more-normal
operations until next year and that cargo will continue to be delayed if
Covid-19 outbreaks disrupt key distribution hubs.
In Asia, Covid-related factory closures, energy shortages and port-capacity
limits
have eased in recent weeks. In the U.S., major retailers say they have
imported most of what they need for the holidays.
Ocean freight rates have retreated from record levels.
Still, executives and economists say strong consumer demand for goods in the
West, ongoing port congestion in the U.S., shortages of truck drivers and
elevated global freight rates continue to hang over any recovery. The risk of
more extreme weather and flare-ups of Covid-19 cases can also threaten to clog
up supply chains again.

It's a
Mixed Bag for Malls
How do we feel about the mall these days?
If
there’s hope for any American mall it’s
the 30 that are best in class,
and they’re ka-chinging. With
450 stores across the equivalent of 46 football fields
in suburban Philadelphia,
K of P is the largest mall on the East Coast,
what Cohen deems “the shiniest, brightest penny.”
Malls, sadly, have also been the site for recent carnage:
There have been mall shootings in
Virginia,
Tennessee and
California in the last few days, with the last two including fatalities.
Tenant
sales at the nation’s top malls, like King of Prussia, are up 10 percent over
2019
says Vince Tibone, senior analyst at the research firm Green Street. (Simon
Property Group, which operates K of P and retail properties in 37 states,
declined to comment for this story.)
The mall feels simultaneously all-too-familiar and quasi-weird. The good news:
There are a lot of people here on a November Saturday. The bad news: There are a
lot of people here on a November Saturday.
Approximately half of them are masked. Are they vaccinated? Who knows?
Because of covid,
store hours have been reduced:
later openings, earlier closings. With supply-chain challenges, there may be
fewer discounts and in-store promotions
of the buy-five-get-two-free variety, Tibone cautions. Expect to pay more, or
spend more time trying not to.
Currently, shelves are full. They may not be full of what you want.

McKinsey & Company
McKinsey Fined $18M Over Compliance Failures
McKinsey & Co. has agreed to pay $18 million for failing to establish
appropriate boundaries between its consultants and an affiliate that makes
investments for them. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said
McKinsey partners had access to material nonpublic information (MNPI)
about issuers of securities in the course of their consulting work for clients
while they also served as members of the investments committee of the board of
MIO Partners.
While the SEC didn’t accuse McKinsey or any employees of insider trading, it
said that allowing individuals who had access to MNPI about issuers in which MIO
funds were invested “to oversee and monitor MIO’s investment decisions presented
an ongoing risk of misuse of MNPI.” The commission also said there was a risk
that McKinsey consultants might slant their advice to clients based on MNPI
they had obtained as investment committee members.

What It Takes to Put on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
by the Numbers
From the pounds of confetti used to the
amount of hours put in, Macy's added up all of the elements that bring the
parade to life as we countdown to the 95th celebration
Did
you ever want to know how many hours are put into creating the spectacular
sight, or how many people take part in the parade? What about the height of the
tallest balloon, or how many gallons of paint are used in all of the designs?
Fortunately, we have the answers because Macy's calculated every element that
makes up the parade, so now all we have to do is countdown to the 95th
celebration this year.
2.5 Mile Route - The parade route twists and
turns down the streets of Manhattan, starting on West 77th street and Central
Park West and ends in front of the iconic Macy's flagship store on 34th
street in Herald's Square.
15 Giant Character Helium Balloons - We're
talking giant balloons that are typically guided by 80 to 100 uniformed
handlers! Due to the pandemic, the number of balloon handlers have been cut
down – and this year, there will be about 25 people assigned to each balloon,
according to the New York Times.
28 Floats - There may only be 28 floats, but
each one is comprised of hundreds of different set pieces and structural
elements. The floats don't drive themselves, though, as they are towed by trucks
driven by members of New York City's Theatrical Teamsters union, Local 817.
4,500
Volunteers - The Thanksgiving Day Parade marks Macy's single
biggest volunteer event of the year. More than 4,500 volunteers are credited
for keeping the parade alive – from the many handlers that guide the balloons
along the route to the variety of themed-clowns that bring the energy early in
the morning.
50,000+ Hours of Labor - There's a tight
deadline that must be met since the annual parade falls on Thanksgiving – which
means that the Parade Studio team works around the clock, 365 days a year.
The team consists of approximately 27 painters, carpenters, animators,
sculptors, welders, scenic/costume designers, electricians and engineers.

CISA Holiday Threat Alert
CISA Urges Critical Infrastructure to Be Alert for Holiday Threats
CISA and the FBI share steps organizations should take to better protect
against security threats during holidays and weekends.
As
Americans across the country get ready for turkey and travel this Thanksgiving,
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the FBI
issued a warning to all organizations,
but especially critical infrastructure, about security threats they might face
during the holiday season.
"Recent history tells us that
this could be a time when these persistent cyber actors
halfway across the world are looking for ways — big and small — to disrupt the
critical networks and systems belonging to organizations, businesses, and
critical infrastructure," officials wrote in a statement.
While they have not identified any specific threats, officials noted this year's
trends show
attackers have chosen holidays and weekends,
such as Independence Day and Mother's Day weekends, to launch serious ransomware
campaigns. They urge organizations to examine their security posture and adopt
best practices to manage their risk.
The recommendations include
identifying IT security employees who would be available to work
during weekends and holidays in the event a cyberattack occurs. They also advise
implementing multifactor authentication for remote access and admin accounts;
mandating strong passwords and ensuring they aren't reused across multiple
accounts; and ensuring potentially risky services such as Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) are secure and monitored.
Officials also advise reviewing incident response and communication plans, and
updating them if necessary, to reduce potential business impact if an incident
occurs.

Post-COVID Cybersecurity Training
Why cybersecurity training needs a post-pandemic overhaul
COVID-19 may have ushered in the rise of remote work (either temporarily or
permanently) but
not all organizations were prepared to manage a fully remote workforce
and the cybersecurity challenges that come with it.
Protecting
information assets against threats and attacks can prove more difficult when all
or half of your workforce is working remotely; being consistently proactive
about it requires a level of cybersecurity-maturity very few companies have
achieved. When McKinsey assessed the cybersecurity-maturity level of more than
100 companies and institutions in a number of industry sectors earlier this
year,
70% of the organizations were found to be
vulnerable against threats and attacks.
While information cybersecurity depends on many different aspects, companies
should realize that their employees are the first line of defense and invest in
cybersecurity awareness. Unfortunately, cybersecurity training still seems to be
low on most employees’ priority list. According to a recent TalentLMS survey on
the state of cybersecurity training,
61% of employees who took cybersecurity training failed a basic test.
The truth is that
the average employee’s knowledge of cybersecurity threats and best practices is
limited. Offering
perfunctory cybersecurity training just to tick a box does not help employees
build healthier habits and leaves companies exposed to cyberattacks and phishing
scams.
But what is about the way most companies currently conduct their cybersecurity
training that doesn’t work? And how can organizations effectively engage today’s
employees in cybersecurity training to reduce instances of cyberattacks?

New Federal Cybersecurity Incident Reporting
Requirements
Banks must report major cyber incidents within 36 hours under finalized
regulation
Banks
must report major cybersecurity incidents to federal officials within 36 hours
under a rule that U.S. financial regulators finalized on Thursday.
Beginning in May 2022, financial executives will need to be more forthcoming
about computer system failures and interruptions,
such as
ransomware or denial-of-service attacks
that have the potential to disrupt customers’ ability to access their accounts,
or impact the larger financial system.
The rule, dubbed the
Computer-Security Incident Notification Requirements for Banking Organizations
and Their Bank Service Providers,
was cemented by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. There is currently no specific window that banks must repot such
incident to the agencies in question.
The final approval comes as
Congress weighs broader reporting rules for critical infrastructure owners and
operators, and as the
Transportation Security Administration has begun imposing reporting requirements
on leading pipeline, rail and air transport companies.
The 36-hour timeline for banks falls between the leading proposals on Capitol
Hill at around 72 hours, and the TSA rules at 12 hours.

GoDaddy Data Breach
Up to 1.2 million GoDaddy customers' data exposed in breach
Data connected with
up to 1.2 million GoDaddy customers
may have been accessed by an unauthorized party, the
company reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Monday.
GoDaddy, a behemoth in the commercial web hosting and domain registrar space,
reported that
it discovered the apparent intrusion on Nov. 17,
and that the improper access dated back to Sept. 6.
Using a compromised password, an unknown party accessed a GoDaddy system
dedicated to managed WordPress services,
where the company offers customers hosting and other content management features.
Up to 1.2 million active and inactive customers’ email addresses and customer
numbers were exposed, which could set them up for phishing attacks, Demetrius
Comes, the company’s chief information security officer, wrote in the notice.
The active customers’ data included database
usernames and passwords, and a subset of customers’ private SSL encryption keys
were exposed, Comes
wrote. Passwords have been reset and the company is in the process of issuing
and installing new SSL certificates.

Global Amazon Black Friday Strike
Amazon employees in 20 countries will strike or protest on Black Friday for
better working conditions as part of global 'Make Amazon Pay' campaign
The campaign includes a coalition of 70 organizations, including Greenpeace,
Oxfam, and Amazon Workers International.
Amazon employees around the world are preparing to strike on Black Friday in an
effort to improve working
conditions and demand accountability
from top executives.
Workers
and activists in more than 20 countries are expected to protest as part of a
campaign led by "Make
Amazon Pay," a coalition of 70 trade unions and organizations
including Greenpeace, Oxfam, and Amazon Workers International.
Individuals everywhere "from
oil refineries, to factories, to warehouses, to data centers, to corporate
offices" are expected
to participate in the November 26 event, according to the campaign.
"The pandemic has exposed how Amazon places profits ahead of workers, society,
and our planet," Make Amazon Pay wrote in a list of demands shared on its
website. "Amazon takes
too much and gives back too little.
It is time to Make Amazon Pay."
The protests come amid
growing dissent from Amazon employees
over working conditions, including long hours, low pay, and complex performance
review systems. Make Amazon Pay's demands include increased salaries, better job
security, and "suspending the harsh productivity and surveillance regime Amazon
has used to squeeze workers."
The coalition also calls for a "pay back to society" that includes enhanced
sustainability efforts, increased transparency over data and privacy, and ending
partnerships with police forces and immigration authorities that are
"institutionally racist."
In a statement, Amazon
spokesperson Kelly Nantel told Insider that the company is "inventing and
investing significantly" in several of the categories
the campaign addresses, including climate efforts, like a commitment to reach
net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and pushes to improve competitive wages and
benefits.
"These groups represent a variety of interests, and while we are not perfect in
any area, if you objectively look at what Amazon is doing in each one of these
areas you'll see that
we do take our role and our impact very seriously,"
Nantel said.

Walmart looks to grab consumers’ attention with star-studded online shopping
events
Walmart is adding another tool to its arsenal this holiday season to drum up
online sales: More than
30 livestreaming events,
including one with musician Jason Derulo that kicks off Cyber Week.
Over the past year, the retail giant has tested the
shoppable events on different
social media platforms.
It hosted its first livestream last December, when it had a holiday shop-along.
It enlisted influencers to host a spring beauty event on TikTok. It featured
celebrity chef Ree Drummond to talk about her Pioneer Woman line of cookware and
more on Facebook. In
total, it has had 15 events so far.

Los Angeles, CA: Thousands of Scattered Packages After Cargo Container Theft
After
thousands of empty boxes were found along train tracks in East Los Angeles
when thieves targeted cargo trains, the Los Angeles County Sheriff said
there are plans to investigate. NBCLA found people connected to those empty
boxes who were waiting weeks only to find out that their item had been looted
from a train. Eve Shaffer was waiting for her unborn baby’s car seat to arrive
in the mail in Seattle – only to find out its opened box was sitting near the
train tracks in East LA. NBCLA reached out to her to let her know. She had been
waiting for two weeks for it. "I’m honestly just disgusted in human behavior,"
she said.
She and her mother both called Target and FedEx to see what was going on. They
just said it was delayed," she said. Thieves have been working the tracks
near Valley Boulevard and North Mission Road, caught by NBCLA's cameras nearly
every time the station came to check. When the theft happened early November,
Union Pacific issued a statement saying they’re aware of the thefts and are
working with local law enforcement to address the issue. Union Pacific
transports goods from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where the backup
continues.
NBCLA showed LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva what our cameras captured:
thieves in action, with bolt cutters in hand, opening FedEx cargo containers.
"Wow! And that’s all pulled from trains? Wow, that’s all new to me," he said.
"Holy moly," Villanueva said. The department has something called the Cargo Cats
task force. The sheriff promised that team would look into the thefts.

Pleasanton, CA: Nine break into Stoneridge Shopping Center overnight, but leave
empty-handed with jewelry store gated
As several large shopping centers have been targeted by looters en masse in the
Bay Area in recent days, the Stoneridge Shopping Center was broken into early
Monday morning but the group of would-be thieves fled within minutes
empty-handed, according to Pleasanton police. "The suspects did not gain access
to any of the stores at the mall and there were no other reported incidents of
looting in Pleasanton," Sgt. Marty Billdt told the Weekly. The situation
unfolded at 1:19 a.m. Monday when nine unidentifiable people entered the
Pleasanton mall by pushing an exterior sliding glass door off its track on the
west side of the mall, near the "E" parking lot, according to Billdt. Video
surveillance footage showed the burglars run inside the mall toward the area of
a jewelry store but leave immediately after observing the metal security gates
in place, according to Billdt. The would-be thieves were seen on camera exiting
the mall at 1:21 a.m. without any stolen merchandise.

Yakima, WA: Shoplifter arrested after 14 Hour Standoff
In Yakima police tried to arrest a man for a theft at a local grocery store but
the incident turned into a 14-hour standoff. 40-year-old Leon Searles is now
being held in the Yakima County jail. Capt. Jay Seely says incident started when
Searles stole items from a local grocery store. The store security officer tried
to stop Searles but he started to fight and fled the area. Police found Searles
at his Yakima home a short time later but he refused to leave the home and
threatened to fire a gun. The Yakima Police Department SWAT team was called as
officers continued to talk to the man. A press release says "Officers made
numerous attempts to negotiate with Searles, but he did not comply and, instead,
fired multiple rounds from inside his house. A person familiar with Searles told
police that he had more than one gun inside the home, including a high-power
rifle." The SWAT team members then used "multiple breaching techniques to gain
entry to the home and compliance from Searles. No police officers fired firearms
during the incident." As a result of trying to get to the man police say the
home suffered major damage. Police aren't saying however where the home was
located. The situation was resolved without injury to officers or Searles, who
was booked into the Yakima County Jail on multiple felony charges.

The first step to having a successful mentoring experience is to change your
definitions about it as it doesn't have to be a long-term commitment and it can
even be for a specific project, a specific incident, or even for a specific
weakness that you may have. The point is, while you may have the desire to find
one, you may want to consider how you can be one for someone as well. A
successful mentoring program offers an executive an oasis, a place of safety and
trust, a place where you can get answers and advice about your own career. Just
remember pay it forward and return the good deed.
Just a Thought, Gus
