Sloth Lock
& Fixture Security Additions Help Retailers Protect
High-Risk
Merchandise
 Meet the Sloth Lock
The Sloth Lock is simple, yet highly effective. It slows down unauthorized
product removal from retail displays by locking onto the rack and tethering the
item. The rack lock is engineered as part of the alarm top, which is used with
several styles of the CIS alarming tethers.
The Sloth Lock advantages:
-
Discourages opportunistic theft attempts.
-
Creates a visible deterrent effect.
-
Gives associates more opportunities to engage customers.
-
Supports open merchandising without requiring products to be
locked away.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Warning for Retailers Worldwide
France's Retail Looting & Unrest: A Wakeup Call for Retailers?
Nationwide unrest leaves hundreds of
stores damaged as organized groups exploit demonstrations to target
retailers
 By
the D&D Daily staff
The widespread looting and destruction of retail stores across France
this weekend has highlighted a growing security concern for retailers:
the vulnerability of commercial properties during periods of civil
unrest.
Demonstrations over rising living costs and declining public services
escalated into violence Saturday, October 17, as groups of rioters
targeted supermarkets, luxury boutiques, electronics stores and other
businesses in cities including Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux.
Nearly 2,400 people were arrested nationwide, while hundreds of
retail locations suffered damage, theft or vandalism. Although most
demonstrators protested peacefully, smaller groups exploited the
disorder to attack commercial properties.
French grocery giant Carrefour reported that 50 of its stores were
damaged, including approximately 20 that were looted, with losses
estimated in the tens of millions of euros.
Reports also documented attacks on clothing retailers, pharmacies,
electronics stores and luxury boutiques, demonstrating the broad range
of businesses exposed during widespread disturbances.
A Growing Challenge for Retail Security
Particularly concerning for loss prevention professionals were reports
of coordinated attacks against storefronts.
According to AFP, groups of masked individuals were observed
disconnecting security cameras before smashing windows and entering
stores. Other attackers forced their way through metal security
shutters, removing merchandise while police responded to disturbances
elsewhere.
These incidents demonstrate how quickly conventional retail security
measures can become overwhelmed when multiple locations are targeted
simultaneously.
The consequences extend beyond merchandise losses. Retailers face
property damage, business interruptions, employee safety concerns and
potentially significant recovery expenses.
For asset protection teams, the unrest reinforces the importance of
emergency response planning, employee evacuation procedures,
communication with local law enforcement and protocols for temporarily
closing vulnerable locations.
Retailers must also consider how rapidly changing conditions outside
their stores can create threats that traditional shoplifting prevention
strategies were never designed to address.
France's experience serves as a reminder that civil unrest can
quickly become a retail security crisis, requiring businesses to
prioritize employee safety, operational preparedness and coordinated
emergency response.

Government Offers Free Security Cams
to Fight Store Theft
Free cameras offered to small businesses in San Joaquin County to fight
retail theft
A partnership between security
companies and the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce is providing free
cameras and installations to small businesses in San Joaquin County to
help prevent retail theft
A partnership between four security companies and the Greater Stockton
Chamber of Commerce is providing free cameras and installations to
small businesses in San Joaquin County to address retail theft.
“What we've been able to do was go through and identify all these
businesses that qualify for it," Frank Ferral, chief policy officer for
the chamber. "About 325 of them already. We're trying to identify the
last 50 here in the next week."
Blake Smallie of Calidad Security Services said the cameras serve as
both a deterrent and a tool for law enforcement.
“They're giving law enforcement insights and true footage of what
exactly is happening. If there is a theft and when there is a theft,”
Smallie said.
Small businesses in San Joaquin County with 500 or fewer employees are
eligible to apply for the camera grant.
“Our team has installed, I think, roughly over 70 camera systems already
for the county,” Smallie said.
The program is funded by a $1.5 million grant, which also supports
the STAART app—Standing Together Against All Regional Theft. The app
allows residents to safely report suspected retail theft and send
information directly to merchants.

Police Blame Stores For Theft Surge?
UK: Inverclyde shoplifting doubles as police criticise security
POLICE have criticised security arrangements at major Inverclyde stores
after shoplifting offences more than doubled in a year.
Latest figures show the number of thefts by shoplifting rose from 169
to 348, helping drive a near-67 per cent increase in crimes of
dishonesty to 529.
At a meeting of Inverclyde Council’s police and fire scrutiny panel,
councillor Paul Cassidy described the local increase as 'quite a big
rise' and asked whether retailers, particularly major national firms,
were doing enough to tackle the problem.
Chief Inspector David Doherty said stronger relationships with
businesses and increased confidence in reporting every offence had
contributed to the rise. Dedicated police operations targeting
shoplifting are also set to be carried out using funding provided at a
central level.
CI Doherty said the operations would give the issue greater attention,
put more officers on the ground and help bring those responsible
before the courts.

Embracing AI for Retail Safety &
Efficiency
Loop Neighborhood Markets' Loss Prevention Lead Embraces AI
Technology Leader of the Year award
winner Matthew Makarem notes the retailer's use of tech solutions has
driven an increase in sales and a reduction in costs.
As director of loss prevention and employee development at Loop
Neighborhood Markets, owned by Vintners Distributors, Matthew
Makarem is well-versed in what it takes to run safe and efficient
convenience store operations — and AI plays an integral role.
Loop, which operates more than 50 stores across California, has invested
in key applications that are delivering measurable value, such as AI-powered
inventory management, dynamic fuel pricing and advanced, frictionless
customer experiences.
"The investment in AI tools for convenience stores and gas stations
is fundamentally transforming the industry from a reactive, manual
business into a predictive, high-efficiency operation," Makarem
explained.
His responsibilities at Loop center on driving business intelligence,
operational execution, advanced loss prevention, and employee training.
Among his recent accomplishments, he directed the deployment and
performance monitoring of operational platforms across Loop's 50-plus
regional sites, and spearheaded the integration of Zebra to track,
evaluate and scale field execution metrics.
He also worked with Tote to launch Genie, a store associate AI agent,
to assist with employee inquiries regarding customer service,
point-of-sale (POS) operations, maintenance, payments and more.
Genie is available 24/7, supports multiple languages and works via voice
and chat.
The rollout of Genie across Loop's network is designed to assist
associates with training and day-to-day tasks, allowing them to quickly
search for answers tailored to their specific store location rather than
consult standard operating procedure manuals tucked away in binders.

Simplifying Retail Tech With AI
Should Retail Tech Be Judged by How Much Complexity It Removes From
Stores?
Retail technology, particularly around AI tool integration, has
revolutionized the in-store experience for both shoppers and
associates.
One recent case study in an
Oct. 14 Target press release makes this quite clear: The
retailer has enhanced its myDay store operations app to include a
customized informational panel available to store leaders – “from
fulfillment orders and truck unloads to team members’ schedules” – and
associates are provided with a “clear, prioritized to-do list, helping
them know what to work on next.”
“The impact is already clear. These latest enhancements are helping
team members work more efficiently and helping leaders make faster, more
confident decisions — spending less time at a computer pulling
together information and more time on the sales floor supporting their
teams and serving guests. Across Target stores, these efforts add up to
more than 2 million team member hours saved annually,” the press release
continued.
The thrust for Target remains squarely on saving labor hours and also
upping efficiency (and minimizing headaches) for store associates
and management. Other retailers appear to be heading in a similar
direction with their retail tech pushes.

Smarter Retail Site Selection
Why physical-world behavior is becoming an essential part of retail site
selection
Retailers have long evaluated prospective locations using data to inform
their decisions.
Demographic data, traffic volumes, proximity to existing stores, and
competitor locations all go into building a “score” for a potential
site. But two types of data are often missing from these analyses:
Time of day by road segment traffic volume, and trip data.
Driving a premium customer experience starts with understanding how
customers move. As competition for retail space heats up, so will
the need for the best market intelligence.
The stakes for getting retail site selection right are getting higher.
In 2023, U.S. retail space per capita shrank to 54.3 square feet, down
from a 2009 peak of 56.5 square feet. In recent years, major brands like
Kohl’s, Macy’s and Ulta have leaned into smaller-format stores.
This drop in space occurred, however, as retail sales and populations
grew. Even as the retail footprint contracts, brands are expanding
locations.

New Loss Prevention Research Report by Interface Systems Exposes the
True, Hidden Cost of Commercial False Alarms
Study reveals that
while municipal fines are highly visible, hidden liabilities like guard
response, internal labor drain, and the threat of police non-response
make up 80% of the financial burden for multi-location businesses.
St. Louis, MO – October 8, 2026 –
Interface
Systems, a leading provider of AI-powered security and expert remote
video monitoring for restaurants, retailers, and commercial businesses,
published “The Real Cost of Alarm Failure,” a new report from its
2026 Loss Prevention Research Series. The data-driven study models the
cumulative operational expense of false alarms across multi-site
portfolios, utilizing municipal ordinances and fee schedules across 25
U.S. cities, police dispatch policies in 23 cities, federal labor data,
and real-world vendor repair costs.
The report provides critical operational data to help loss prevention,
risk management, and operations leaders identify where safety budgets
are being quietly eroded. The study distinguishes between visible costs,
such as municipal fines, and the broader operational disruptions that
occur long before any city fine is issued.
Key Data and Findings from the Report
-
Fines Are Just the Tip of the Iceberg:
For a standard 10-store retailer averaging 3 false alarms per
location, direct municipal fines total just $1,220 annually.
However, adding unverified guard dispatches, manager keyholder
logistics, and lost labor hours brings the baseline annual cash
drain to $7,230.
-
The Police Non-Response Turning Point:
In 21 of the 23 major cities analyzed (including Los Angeles,
San Francisco, and Houston), local police departments enforce
policies that suspend or entirely revoke emergency dispatch
privileges for properties exceeding a set number of false
alarms.
-
The Worst-Case Exposure: For
a 10-store operator, the risk climbs to a staggering $37,230 in
annual liability if each location experiences a single break-in
after losing local police response privileges.
-
The Insurance Void: The
study reviews clear commercial case precedents where insurance
carriers successfully denied six-figure corporate burglary
claims on appeal because the operator allowed their monitored
alarm system or permits to lapse.
-
The First-Alarm Drain: While
city penalties typically waive the first or second false alarm
event, the operational cost hits on day one. A single false
alarm triggers between $150 and $500 in blended fees, whether
from dispatching a private security unit or requiring a manager
to respond after hours to an empty facility.
"Multi-location operators frequently look at false alarms as a minor
compliance issue because the municipal invoice is relatively small,"
said Sean Foley, Chief Revenue Officer at Interface Systems. "What this
data reveals is that the real damage happens behind the scenes. When a
property crosses a city’s infraction threshold, it triggers an
operational domino effect: managers are pulled away from customers,
administrative teams spend hours fighting permit suspensions, and
ultimately, police units stop showing up. Our goal with this report is
to show organizations how to close those exposure windows before they
result in a serious, uninsurable loss."
How Video Verification Changes Outcomes
The report emphasizes that cities only penalize businesses after
emergency units physically respond to a false alert. Interface Systems
solves this by deploying remote intervention specialists at its
U.S.-based Interactive Security Operations Center (iSOC) to review live
video feeds the exact moment a sensor trips. By visually verifying site
safety before dispatch occurs, Interface clears 95% of commercial alarm
events as false, keeping compliance fines off corporate ledgers and
ensuring properties stay off restrictive municipal non-response lists.

Supermarket Cyberattack Fallout
French supermarket cyberattack exposes insurance and cold-chain risks
Retailers face food losses and
questions over insurance cover after hackers reportedly raised
refrigeration temperatures to 50°C.
Hackers reportedly raised refrigeration temperatures to 50°C at
hundreds of French supermarkets, forcing retailers to discard fresh
and frozen food and exposing potential gaps in insurance cover for
cyber-related losses.
The attack began overnight on 11–12 October, when attackers allegedly
triggered forced defrosting remotely. France’s finance minister,
Roland Lescure, told parliament on 13 October that about 700
supermarkets had been affected, according to the Associated Press,
although he said national food supplies were not at risk.
Thierry Cotillard, president of Les Mousquetaires, the group that owns
Intermarché, estimated that the nationwide cost could reach tens of
millions of euros, Reuters reported.
Insurance cover comes under scrutiny
The financial impact has raised questions about whether retailers can
recover the cost of spoiled stock through their insurance policies.
Insurance brokers told Reuters that cyber policies typically exclude
physical losses. Cover for spoiled food depends on individual policy
terms and the circumstances of the incident. Intermarché initially told
AFP that its insurance did not cover this type of incident.
The distinction matters because the costs of investigating a
cyberattack, restoring equipment and replacing damaged inventory may
fall under different policy provisions.
The incident also raises questions about responsibility for
maintaining connected equipment and whether retailers, technology
suppliers or maintenance providers could face financial exposure
when refrigeration controls are compromised.

Cybersecurity Expertise Needed in the
C-Suite
Boards confident on cybersecurity, AI oversight, but tech changes
outpace readiness
Nearly half of corporate directors
think board members need cybersecurity expertise, a new survey found.
In the June survey of more than 200 directors at U.S. companies in a
wide range of industries, board leaders expressed high confidence in
the systems they had put in place to keep companies on the right track
with AI and cybersecurity.
Eighty percent of respondents said their board had “a clear
governance framework for overseeing AI adoption and cybersecurity risk,”
with 20% saying theirs didn’t. Thirty-six percent of directors were
very confident their boards had “the right skills and experience to
oversee AI, cybersecurity, and data governance,” while 49% were somewhat
confident and 15% were not confident. When it came to grading their
executives’ ability to “identify and integrate needed emerging
technologies and mitigate evolving cybersecurity risk,” 88% were
confident that managers had the necessary expertise to do the job, while
12% weren’t.
Still, BDO said, “directors report that the increasingly rapid rate
of technological change is outpacing their organizational readiness and
innovation capabilities.”
Fifty-seven percent of directors said accelerating changes in AI and
cybersecurity were among the biggest concerns for their organization
over the next six to 12 months, placing the issue ahead of trade
policy, regulatory uncertainty and geopolitical conflict.
As technology has changed and new threats have emerged, directors
have begun to see cybersecurity as a more important skill. Asked
which skill sets their boards most needed to enhance their oversight
abilities, 45% cited cybersecurity and data protection, up from 35% in
BDO’s 2025 survey.
But boards are also contending with a plethora of challenges that
sometimes crowd out security concerns. Roughly one-quarter of survey
respondents said the growing complexity of their boards’ agendas had
caused them to deprioritize cybersecurity and AI oversight.

Microsoft 365 Users Under Attack
ConnectWise suspends Cloud Backup service as hacker targets Microsoft
365 users
Managed service providers said an
attacker used compromised credentials to gain access to tenants.
ConnectWise said it suspended access to its Cloud Backup service after a
suspected supply chain attack targeting Microsoft 365 users was
uncovered in an attack that was first detected on Wednesday.
ConnectWise said services for SaaS Security and Cloud Management were
also suspended, as those services are connected to Cloud Backup,
formerly known as SkyKick.
There is no evidence that Cloud Backup partner backup data has been
compromised, a ConnectWise spokesperson told Cybersecurity Dive.
ConnectWise Cloud Backup is a backup and recovery service used across
various managed service providers to manage their Microsoft 365 and
Google Workspace data, according to Huntress. The service therefore has
access to OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and directory data.

1+ Million Amazon Workers
Amazon Has Now Deployed Over 1 Million Robots, Which Is Bad News for Its
1.5 Million Workers
"Amazon likes to talk about its
latest robots because it doesn't want to talk about the tens of
thousands of Amazon workers who are injured every year."
Amazon has officially surpassed a fleet of 1 million robots, an
arsenal of mechanical arms, Roomba-like floor loaders, and hulking
pallet sorting machines.
Each robot is a node in an intricate web allowing the corporation to
speed up delivery times and lower overhead. But for the over 1.5
million full- and part-time workers relying on Amazon wages to pay their
bills, the company’s bot army represents rising competition — not
just metaphorically, but physically.
As George Mason University professor of business Brad Greenwood told Ars
Technica in a recent interview, Amazon’s warehouse robots aren’t just
helping Amazon cut costs on labor, but are literally boxing humans out
of workspaces in the company’s facilities.
“For the last 100 years, most of the automation that we’ve seen
usually happens away from workers,” Greenwood explained. “You’re
taking that high-risk task away from the worker, and you’re doing so in
a way that is not physically proximate.”
Yet the growth of Amazon’s robot fleet “really changes that dynamic for
two reasons: one is that it is physically proximate, and two, the robot
has the ability to dictate the pace of work,” Greenwood continued.
That shifting terrain is great for Amazon’s bottom line. The robots help
decrease friction across the company’s vast logistics empire, increasing
speed and strengthening the company’s bottom line. And by allowing
robots to “dictate the pace” of work, as Greenwood put it, Amazon is
also loosening its need for human labor, disempowering workers both on
an individual basis and in any potential collective bargaining
arrangements.
Beyond the shop floor, Amazon’s robots also serve as a near-constant
source of buzzy PR, as exciting achievements in automation overshadow
the more mundane but widespread reality of workplace injuries. It’s
especially convenient for Amazon, as conditions in the company’s
facilities appear to become more dangerous as more robots roll out to
the floor (and that’s to say nothing of the impact of AI-mediated human
resources).
As director of strategic research at the trade union coalition Strategic
Organizing Center, Joan Moriarty, told Ars: “Amazon likes to talk
about its latest robots because it doesn’t want to talk about the tens
of thousands of Amazon workers who are injured every year due to
Amazon’s obsession with maximizing speed and minimizing costs.”

Online Grocery Spending Surges
E-Commerce Hits Record 20.9% of U.S. Grocery Spending
Nearly 64% of U.S. households
shopped online for groceries in September
Online grocery is eating up a bigger share of the spending pie than
ever before, according to the monthly Brick Meets Click Grocery
Shopper Surveys fielded in July, August and September.
e-Grocery now accounts for 20.9% of all U.S. grocery spending, the
highest share on record, after third-quarter sales rose 20.7% from
the same period in 2025. Year-over-year growth has now topped 20% for
eight quarters running, supported by shoppers who order more often and a
pool of monthly buyers that keeps getting larger. Physical stores are
taking something of a hit in response; in-store sales declined year over
year during the quarter.
Among the three fulfillment methods, delivery accounted for the
lion’s share (three-quarters) of the overall gain, growing more than 30%
from a year earlier and adding over five percentage points to its
share of e-grocery sales. Pickup ate a lot of that shift and grew only
in the mid-single digits, while ship-to-home also gained, though at a
pace slightly below the 20.7% topline.
“Customers today have a multitude of online grocery options that
can satisfy a broad range of needs states and/or occasions from an
urgent quick trip to a routine stock up,” said Brick Meets Click Partner
David Bishop. “Many of the newer e-grocery offerings focus on shorter
order cycle times, while others strive to provide ways to avoid paying
more than necessary.”

Massive Chinese Crime Ring Used Staples Hack to Steal $425,000
A massive Chinese crime ring used a breach of Staples’ customer
support system to issue gift cards and buy electronics across the
United States, according to court records reviewed by 404 Media.
The operation used 4,630 cards worth around $425,000, with some
merchandise shipped to China. The case shows how access to an
internal retail system could be turned into purchases across several
national chains. Target, Sephora and Lowe’s provided investigators
with records of gift cards redeemed in stores and online. Homeland
Security Investigations received information in October 2023 from an
office supply company that hackers had targeted it and issued more
than 15,000 gift cards worth over $5 million, according to a
search warrant application unsealed last week. The application does
not name the company. 404 Media identified it as Staples based on
details in the document: the company was headquartered in
Massachusetts, used Blackhawk Network to fulfill gift card orders
and had an internal customer support system called Nexus. The
publication also found a reference to Nexus on a former Staples
executive’s LinkedIn profile. Staples did not respond to requests
for comment.

Chardon, OH: 3 NE Ohio men indicted in alleged $68K Home Depot theft
ring
Three men were caught on camera inside Home Depot stores, where
prosecutors say they were stealing thousands of dollars in
merchandise. And investigators say this was no random shoplifting
spree; they say it was organized, repeated and allegedly carried out
in plain sight. Geauga County prosecutor Jim Flaiz said, “It’s a
huge problem. We have three Walmarts, two Home Depots. We have a
Meijers that just opened. We have another Meijers opening, Target
And because we do have these big box establishments, new hardware
opened, we just have had an influx of people from outside the county
coming in and victimizing these stores.” Prosecutors said the
suspects posed as contractors, claiming they were picking up prepaid
orders; from building materials to flooring and insulation, but
those orders did not belong to them.

Paris, France: Employee at French GameStop store goes viral in heroic 'battle'
against rampaging rioters
As rioters have left a trail of destruction all across France, one shopkeeper
channeled his inner hero to defend his business' doors. A man known only as
Pierre has become an online hero for his recent defense of a video game store,
and his image will likely live on forever as a meme. Pierre is a salesman at the
Micromania store in Nice, France, a chain owned by GameStop. During the
seemingly unending violence that gripped the country over the weekend, Pierre
stood up to rioters who were attempting to break into the shop, which already
had its security doors down and its front door broken. In a video seen by over 4
million viewers, Pierre marched down one rioter who taunted him, but as he
walked back to his entrance, he was blindsided from behind with a kick. However,
Pierre got right back up and was later seen calmly adjusting his glasses as he
remained steadfast at the entrance. To make his story even more iconic, he was
pictured in the doorway alongside a life-sized photo of popular anime character
Goku from the show "Dragonball Z."

A Great Question Can Be Worth More Than a Great Answer
Experience has taught
me that the smartest conversations often change direction because
somebody asks something nobody planned for. “What happens if…?” “Why are
we doing it that way?” “What aren't we seeing?” Leaders and solution
providers who stay curious tend to uncover opportunities the people
arriving with all the answers walk right past.
