New Cargo Theft Target?
Cargo thieves have set their sights on data center supplies
Cargo thieves have a new target. Investigators with the Cook County
Sheriff's office in Illinois said last week they recovered a pair of
trailers with $1.3 million worth of data center supplies at a
Chicago-area truck yard.
 Officials
said the organized retail crime unit was tipped off about a trailer
containing about $300,000 worth of copper wire spools, which had
been reported stolen from Pine Hill, Alabama. Copper wiring is a key
supply for building and connecting data centers.
After inspecting the trailer and finding the wire, investigators said
the truck yard owner told them that the person who delivered that load
had dropped off another load a week earlier.
That trailer also turned out to have been stolen — from Jacksonville,
Florida — and contained $1 million worth of data center
infrastructure equipment, the Sheriff's office said.
Cargo theft is a problem that typically affects retailers, as
criminals target supply chains to intercept products on their way to
stores. The US Department of Homeland Security estimates that cargo
thefts account for as much as $35 billion in losses a year.
Theft rings have also targeted metals such as platinum, palladium,
and copper used in industrial applications.
The recent boom in data center construction presents a new
opportunity for criminal groups that the National Retail Federation
said last year continue to evolve in their targets and tactics.

Retail Theft Case Questions Bond
System
Retail theft case raises questions about crime, accountability and
Delaware’s bond system
Police said Tillman recruited people struggling with addiction to
steal merchandise from stores. Those individuals allegedly
shoplifted targeted products and were paid only a fraction of the retail
value.
A single shoplifting case may involve one person making a bad decision.
An organized retail theft ring turns local stores into supply lines
for a resale business, pushing costs onto retailers, employees and
paying customers.
From a center-right perspective, the broader issue is whether the
system is treating organized retail crime with the seriousness it
deserves. Police say the alleged theft ring involved more than
$70,000 in goods. Yet the bond amount was $8,000 unsecured — less than
12% of the value of the merchandise investigators say was stolen.
That contrast will be hard for many small-business owners, store
managers and law-abiding shoppers to understand.
Retail theft is not victimless. It raises prices, increases security
costs, strains employees and can make stores less willing to operate in
neighborhoods where theft becomes routine. When organized theft
rings are treated like low-level nuisance cases, the public has reason
to question whether the justice system is protecting the people who
follow the rules.

Supreme Court Limits Crime Location
Searches
Can Police Access Your Phone's Location Data? Here's What SCOTUS Said
The high court rejected police use
of cell phone location data to hunt down bad guys.
As an adult living in 2026, you’ve almost certainly been complicit in
the modern surveillance state simply by using a smartphone. Whether
you read the fine print or not, you’ve probably agreed to share personal
data – from your number of daily steps to where you shop – with the apps
you use.
On Monday, the Supreme Court effectively said the government cannot
get around Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches by
going to those tech companies for the data of anyone near a crime scene
at a given time.
At issue is the law enforcement tactic known as “geofencing,” in which
the authorities draw a virtual fence around a crime scene and seek a
warrant to compel tech companies, like Google, to identify who was in
that area during a specified time period.
How decisive a blow the ruling might prove to be against this
approach remains to be seen. A divided lower court had let
authorities use the data in this case under a “good-faith exception” –
meaning law enforcement acted with the presumption that the geofencing
warrant was valid.

Managing Vendor Risk Beyond the Store
Team
Third-Party Partnerships Are Becoming a Larger LP Focus
 By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail operations rely on a growing network of third-party partners.
Cleaning crews, maintenance contractors, merchandising teams, technology
installers, delivery providers and other service vendors all play an
important role in keeping stores running efficiently. As that
network expands, many retailers are placing greater emphasis on managing
the operational and security risks that accompany outside access to
their facilities.
Loss prevention and security teams are increasingly collaborating
with procurement, facilities, information technology and operations to
help establish consistent standards for vendor access. The goal is
not to create unnecessary barriers, but to ensure that contractors and
service providers can perform their work safely while protecting
employees, customers, assets and sensitive areas of the business.
Many retailers are strengthening visitor management practices by
requiring vendors to check in, display temporary credentials and follow
established access procedures. Depending on the nature of the work,
organizations may also limit access to specific areas, designate
employee escorts or establish approved work windows that minimize
disruption to store operations.
Technology is also playing a larger role. Digital visitor
management systems, electronic access control, mobile credentials and
audit logs can provide greater visibility into who entered a facility,
when they were onsite and which areas they accessed. These tools help
create a consistent record that can support operational reviews,
compliance requirements and internal accountability.
Vendor risk management also extends beyond physical access.
Retailers increasingly evaluate service providers based on factors such
as cybersecurity practices, data protection measures, insurance
coverage, safety performance and contractual compliance. As stores
continue to adopt connected technologies and cloud-based systems,
coordination between physical security and information security teams
has become increasingly important.
While third-party partnerships remain essential to modern retail
operations, they also require thoughtful oversight. By establishing
clear policies, standardizing access procedures and maintaining strong
communication across departments, retailers can reduce operational risk
while supporting productive relationships with trusted vendors.
As retail environments continue to evolve, vendor risk management is
becoming less of a procurement function and more of a shared
responsibility—one in which loss prevention professionals are
playing an increasingly important role.
First State to Mandate Self-Checkout
Staffing
Rhode Island becomes first state to mandate staffing ratio for
self-checkout
Legislation signed by Gov. Dan McKee
and due to take effect in 2027 comes as other states also consider
self-checkout restrictions.
 Rhode
Island Gov. Dan McKee on Thursday signed into law a bill that
mandates a staffing ratio for the self-checkout area in grocery stores.
The legislation, which the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 328
supported, will require stores to assign at least one worker to staff
every three self-checkout stations.
The law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2027, and its passage marks
the first statewide self-checkout staffing ratio in the U.S. as other
states consider restrictions on self-checkout.
The lawmakers who sponsored the newly enacted Rhode Island law did so
because they were concerned that self-checkouts can overtax workers
and frustrate shoppers, particularly older ones, according to a
press release from the state’s General Assembly.
The law aims not only to improve the customer experience but also to
curb theft at self-checkouts, the UFCW said. The labor group cited a
report by Capital One that found that retailers in
Rhode Island lost $244 million in 2022 due to theft.
California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and Washington
state are considering similar self-checkout restrictions in a bid to
reduce shoplifting, USA Today reported.
Once the Rhode Island law takes effect, employees assigned to the
self-checkout area must be relieved of all other duties, including
working at manned checkout counters. Grocery stores won’t have to
follow the staffing ratio during off-peak hours — before 8 a.m. or after
8 p.m. — or during any declared state of emergency or severe weather
alert.
Grocers that violate the law will first receive a written warning
before facing fines for multiple violations that occur at the same store.
The fines, which cannot exceed $500 per day, will match wages for one
four-hour shift based on the highest wage for hourly retail clerks for
each day a violation occurs.

Kroger Buys Giant Eagle Chain
Kroger to buy grocer Giant Eagle in $1.65 billion deal as competition
heats up
Kroger said on Wednesday it would buy regional supermarket chain
Giant Eagle in a $1.65 billion deal, strengthening its presence in
the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic region amid intensifying competition.
The transaction, the first under CEO Greg Foran, is also the
company’s first major acquisition since its $25 billion merger with
Albertsons fell apart in 2024.
Family-owned Giant Eagle generates about $9 billion in annual sales
and operates around 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies
across northern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and
Indiana.
The company has been battling intense competition from Walmart,
Amazon and other grocers as value-conscious consumers facing
cost-of-living pressures seek cheaper essentials.

The Rise of 'Quiet Hours'
Sephora joins Walmart, Target with new 'quiet hours' shopping experience
The beauty store will lower music,
screens and scents in U.S. stores to support sensory-sensitive shoppers
Sephora is bringing "quiet hours" to all of its U.S. stores, the
latest sign that major retailers are investing in sensory-friendly
shopping experiences aimed at making stores more accessible for
neurodivergent customers.
Walmart became the first major U.S. retailer to permanently introduce
daily sensory-friendly shopping hours nationwide in 2023 after
testing the concept during the back-to-school season. Target has
tested quieter shopping hours at select stores by dimming lights,
limiting overhead announcements and reducing music, while Toys "R" Us
has offered "Quiet Hour" events at some locations.

Case Study: Rooftop Intruders Deterred at a Jewelry Store
Peter Suchy Jewelers—a local vintage and estate jewelry store
located in Stamford, CT—approached
Everon
seeking a stronger solution to deter unauthorized and criminal
activity on and around their property. Because of the store's
proximity to surrounding businesses and ongoing concerns about
after-hours crime, the owner needed a proactive way to prevent
incidents before they occurred.
To enhance the store's security, Everon recommended the installation
of video cameras paired with Active Video Monitoring, equipping the
retailer with:
-
A visible,
proactive deterrent for would-be offenders
-
Real-time detection
of suspicious or unauthorized activity
-
Recorded footage
to provide critical evidence in the event of an incident
Everon Active Video Monitoring is a proactive, real time remote
monitoring service designed to help detect, deter, and respond
to threats before they escalate. Operating through Everon’s UL
listed redundant monitoring centers, Active Video Monitoring
leverages retailer’s existing camera infrastructure to reduce
upfront costs while providing high engagement security oversight and
loss prevention solution across both indoor and outdoor
environments.
The monitoring system at Peter Suchy Jewelers was designed to
automatically escalate responses—activating strobe lights, speakers,
and live monitoring intervention when threats were detected.
Only one day after the installation went live, the Active Video
Monitoring solution worked to detect people on the roof of the
property and identify that two hooded people were trespassing.
The Everon monitoring center was quickly alerted to the trespassing.
Operators quickly activated audio warnings and multicolor strobe
lights to deter them from stealing copper on the roof or breaking
into the jewelry store for valuables. Both intruders fled, racing to
the back of the roof, climbing down, and running away.
Turn Your Video Surveillance into an Active
Layer of Protection
With Everon’s Active Video Monitoring, retailers can enhance
after-hours security, reduce loss, cut down on loitering and
vandalism, and protect high-value inventory.
Learn how Everon can keep watch on your retail locations to help
identify and deter threats, reduce loss, and provide peace of mind
that your stores and inventory are protected across your locations
after hours with
Active Video Monitoring. |

AI Cybersecurity Concerns
Apple says it is releasing updates early in response to AI cybersecurity
concerns
Apple said it is pushing forward a series of software updates
that would previously have been bundled with a new version of its iOS
operating system, making them available earlier than in previous cycles
in response to AI-driven security concerns.
The company told Reuters on Monday it was adapting to the reality that,
given the ability of artificial intelligence to speed the development
of malicious hacking tools, it needed to reduce the time between
when updates were first made public and when they were put into
customers' hands.
The shift marks a notable change in Apple's longstanding practice of
packaging security fixes with broader software releases, an
acknowledgment that AI is compressing the window attackers need to
exploit known flaws.
Unless security experts discover a hacking campaign targeting a
previously unknown software flaw, Apple usually releases security
updates as part of a move from one version of iOS to the next, for
example from the currently available version - 26.5 - to the next
planned update, 26.6. In the interim, developers and other testers
trial the next update to iron out any kinks.
The company said that, instead, the latest round of security updates
were being made available to everyone ahead of the wider release
of 26.6.
It said that while there was no evidence that any of the newly
patched vulnerabilities had been taken advantage of, the time
between the point when security fixes were first announced and when
they were deployed to customers' phones needed to be compressed.

Browser-Only Ransomware:
From LLM Hallucinations to a Practical Attack Technique
AI can turn high-level malicious ideas into concrete techniques, and
can independently design and implement novel attack paths that have
not yet appeared in real-world campaigns.
In this research, DeepSeek connected unrealistic browser-malware
concepts with a real browser capability, turning an AI-generated malware
hallucination into a plausible browser-native ransomware technique.
Although the generated sample was incomplete, it exposed a practical
abuse path based on the File System Access API and access to photo
directories.
The technique does not require a native payload, APK installation,
browser exploit, or root access. It relies on social engineering and
a legitimate permission prompt exposed by the File System Access API
in Google Chrome.
The Android scenario is especially concerning because photo
directories are high value personal data stores and, unlike iOS, modern
Android Chrome versions expose a browser API that allows web pages to
read and modify files in those directories after user approval.
Using a fake AI image-enhancement workflow gives users a plausible
reason to approve folder-level file access. Our PoC demonstrates this
browser-only workflow against selected image directories on Android.
Over the past several years, large language models have reshaped
software development, and malware development has followed the same path.
Check Point Research has documented this trend from early experiments
showing that AI systems could generate offensive components, to cases of
cybercriminals using ChatGPT to create malicious tools, and later to
advanced AI-authored malware frameworks such as VoidLink. In some cases,
LLMs lowered the barrier enough for users with little or no development
experience to produce working offensive code.
As frontier models became better at writing reliable code, including
complex security related components, major AI vendors also turned cyber
safety into a dedicated control area. Clearly malicious requests
involving credential theft, malware deployment, ransomware behavior,
persistence, stealth, or unauthorized exploitation are now commonly
blocked or refused. OpenAI’s cyber-safety documentation, for example,
describes additional safeguards for models classified as having High
Cybersecurity Capability, while Anthropic has published reports on
detecting and countering cyber misuse of Claude.

Public-Private Cybersecurity
Partnership
DHS proposes new system for public-private infrastructure security
collaboration
The Trump administration eliminated
the previous framework in 2025, sparking backlash from experts and
infrastructure operators.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday proposed a new
public-private critical infrastructure collaboration system to
replace a framework that President Donald Trump eliminated weeks after
returning to office.
The Alliance of National Councils for Homeland Operational Resilience –
Critical Infrastructure (ANCHOR-CI) will serve as an umbrella system
for a group of advisory councils composed of critical infrastructure
operators, government officials and “organizations with direct
responsibility for cybersecurity and critical infrastructure security
and resilience activities,” according to a DHS filing set to be
published in the Federal Register on Wednesday.
DHS said ANCHOR-CI would “provide forums through which cybersecurity,
law enforcement, intelligence, national security, and other government
representatives at the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial
levels may engage representatives of private sector entities and
critical infrastructure owners and operators in reviewing the current
threat environment, discussing potential vulnerabilities, and
forming recommendations on securing a more resilient critical
infrastructure and cyberspace.”

AI Drove Prime Day Purchases
AI Played A Big Role In Prime Day Sales, With 40% Better Conversion
During this year’s four-day Prime Day sales event, consumers were more
likely to search for products using AI, and consumers who were
steered to retail sites by AI were more likely to make a purchase,
according to Prime Day data released today by Adobe.
Adobe, which analyzed digital transactions on U.S. retail sites during
the four Prime days, saw a marked shift this year in the ability of
AI-powered chat and browsers to drive sales.
Shoppers who used AI to find product information and deals had a 40%
better conversion - or purchase - rate, than non-AI channels such as
paid search, email, and social media. That is in sharp contrast to last
year’s Prime event, when conversion from AI-directed traffic was 23%
worse than other channels.
While AI still generates a modest volume of online traffic compared
to other channels, the new figures show AI is “shortening the time
it takes for consumers to confidently get the information they need,”
Adobe reported.
“AI-powered chat services and browsers have cemented their role in
the online shopping experience, providing utility for shoppers who
value the speed and convenience,” Vivek Pandya, lead analyst, Adobe
Digital Insights, said when releasing Adobe’s report on the first day of
Prime Day.
But, Pandya noted, a big problem for retailers is that “sizable
portions of retailer’s websites, up to 46 percent in some cases, are not
readable by machines.”
That problem, Pandya said, “limits their visibility across AI
surfaces and will push brands to invest in more AI-friendly content
such as tutorials, how-to guides, customer service pages, and more.”

Retail Agentic AI Targets Basics
Brands focus agentic AI on lower-level customer experience workflows
Agentic AI is growing in popularity
for customer engagement, but not in all areas.
While 53% of global brands have adopted agentic AI as a customer
experience tool, the technology is largely absent from high-value,
high-friction customer interactions. A new study from AI-based cloud
communications platform Infobip, the “2026 Customer Experience Maturity
Report,” indicates that relatively high percentages of surveyed brands
are using agentic AI to perform customer experience-related tasks such
as feedback collection (56% adoption), reminders and notifications
(52%) and authentication (45% adoption).
However, agentic AI adoption rates are much less for higher value
customer experience use cases such as loyalty management (35%
adoption), delivery management (28%), customer onboarding (26%) and
product returns and refunds at only 15% adoption.
This gap exposes a missed opportunity for agentic AI to alleviate the
burden on human agents. While agentic AI has the potential to
orchestrate deep, seamless customer journeys - such as resolving a
complex refund or navigating a multi-stage onboarding process - it is
currently being stalled.
In other findings, the survey reveals that 58% of respondents say
their communications channels are fully synchronized, and 27%
currently use a communications orchestration platform.

‘International network’ accused of impersonating legitimate motor
carriers to steal $10 million in high-value cargo
From March 2023 through the present, the eight individuals are accused
of stealing cargo from commercial shippers valued at $10 million. The
cargo theft conspiracy involved at least one “dispatcher” located abroad
and facilitators, drivers, and workers located in the United States, the
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said. The
organized cargo theft group targeted high-value merchandise including
electronics, liquor, meat, fish, eggs, clothing, skincare products, and
cryptocurrency mining machines. To facilitate the cargo thefts, one
member of the group would pose as a legitimate carrier to obtain a
contract to transport goods from the shipper to a customer. After the
contract was secured, other group members would pick up the load or
divert the truck away from its intended destination, “including by
altering the delivery address and other information on shipping
paperwork, and by removing geolocation tracking devices affixed to
shipped cargo to track its location and ensure it reaches its proper
destination,” officials said. Once the truck was in the intended
location, the group members would offload items to be sold on secondary
markets “for an illicit profit.”

New York, NY: Update: NY Man Sentenced for Fencing Organized Crime
Ring’s $4.4M Jewelry Theft
A Brooklyn, New York, man was sentenced last week for fencing stolen
jewelry taken from stores and kiosks across the country, according to
the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. On
January 27, 2026, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell and receive
stolen goods. The man, sentenced to serve 24 months in prison and three
years of supervised release, knowingly bought and sold jewelry stolen
from mall-based stores and kiosks across the country. According to court
documents and statements made in court, between May 2023 and April 2024,
an organized jewelry theft ring of Colombian nationals burglarized
jewelry stores and kiosks in malls in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
New Jersey, Ohio, and Virginia. The total losses from the burglaries
exceed $4.4 million. According to law enforcement, members of the
conspiracy also cased additional jewelry stores and kiosks in Iowa,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Delaware. The man paid his
co-conspirators cash for the stolen merchandise for a fraction of the
actual retail amount, and then sold it to others, including those he
knew would melt down the gold.

Crossville, TN: Woman faces multiple Thefts and Drug Charges after
Buc-ees Shoplifting Spree
The investigation peaked on Friday, June 19, 2026, when Patrolman Nathan
Ramson responded to a call from dispatch regarding a female inside the
store’s restroom. Store staff reported that the woman, identified as
Henry, had amassed a large amount of merchandise in the restroom and was
driving a black Nissan Xterra. Upon entering the restroom, Ptl. Ramson
discovered Henry on the floor surrounded by numerous items still bearing
Buc-ee’s price tags. She was arrested on the scene for felony theft,
with the recovered merchandise valued at $1,533.49. Following
that arrest, Buc-ee’s management reviewed historical surveillance
footage, revealing a pattern of continuous thefts throughout the month
of June. According to police reports, Henry repeatedly selected and
concealed merchandise, bypassing all points of sale without paying:
June 9, 2026: Stole merchandise valued at $1,044.78. June 11, 2026:
Stole merchandise valued at $520.86. June 14, 2026: Stole merchandise
valued at $422.98. During the investigation, Henry reportedly
cooperated by directing investigators to a residence where the stolen
items were being stored. Authorities successfully recovered the property
and returned it to Buc-ee’s. In total, Henry is accused of taking
more than $3,500 worth of goods from the travel center.
