Introducing Signal: Closing the Loop Between Analytics and
Action
Finding exceptions isn't the hard part anymore. Your analytics
platform surfaces price overrides, no-receipt returns and
stacked discounts every day. The problem is arithmetic: one loss
prevention manager, 40 stores, a few hundred flags a week. Most
of those flags go stale before anyone looks at them. The person
who could close one in 30 seconds is the store manager who knows
the cashier, the shift and the customer, and that person usually
never sees it.
Introducing Signal, a new capability of
Agilence
Analytics, built to get flagged activity into the hands of
someone who can act on it quickly. In this session,
Keneavy Krenzin, Vice President of Product Management at
Agilence,
and
Colin Latch, Product Marketing Manager at Agilence,
will walk through how Signal gives store, district, and regional
managers a focused queue of only the flagged transactions for
the locations they own, with the receipt detail and video
footage they need to make an educated decision in just a few
minutes.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Retail Crime's Repeat Offender Problem
Auror reported that more than 3 million events have been linked
to repeat offenders worldwide through its network.
10% of Offenders Responsible for 70% of Retail Crime Loss and Harm,
Auror Data Shows
New findings highlight the growing
importance of collaboration, intelligence-sharing and technology in
combating organized retail crime.
 A
relatively small group of repeat offenders is responsible for a
disproportionate share of retail crime, according to new data released
by Auror
following its North America Network Summit in
Denver on October 15.
Retailers using the Auror platform reported that the top 10% of
offenders account for 70% of external loss and harm in their stores
globally, underscoring the importance of identifying and disrupting
repeat offenders rather than treating every retail crime incident as an
isolated event.
The findings were shared as major U.S. and Canadian retailers gathered
to discuss retail crime challenges and opportunities for greater
collaboration over the next 12 months.
Over the past five years, North American retailers have recorded
approximately 11.6 million retail crime events through Auror's platform.
That reporting has helped identify 18,000 repeat offenders operating
across multiple organizations, illustrating how shared intelligence can
reveal patterns that individual retailers might otherwise miss.
Auror also reported that more than 3 million events have been linked
to repeat offenders worldwide through its network, which includes
more than 62,000 stores across North America.
The figures highlight a growing emphasis within loss prevention on
connecting incidents, identifying repeat offenders and building stronger
cases that can support investigations and law enforcement partnerships.
 Technology
is also helping streamline the reporting process. According to Auror,
some major retailers have reduced average crime reporting times to just
six minutes, potentially allowing store teams to document incidents
more efficiently while maintaining their focus on daily operations and
safety.
"Tackling organized retail crime syndicates requires retailers, law
enforcement and industry partners to all come together as a united
network," said Jon Briegel, Auror's Global
Director of Solution Engineering.
The broader takeaway for the retail industry is that effective crime
prevention increasingly depends on what happens beyond an individual
store's walls. Connecting information across locations and
organizations can help investigators recognize patterns, prioritize
high-impact offenders and develop a more coordinated response to retail
crime.
As retailers confront persistent theft, violence and organized criminal
activity, collaboration and actionable intelligence remain central
to protecting employees, customers and merchandise.
Theft & ORC Driving Retail Loss
IHL Group: The biggest source of retail loss is…
 A
new joint study from IHL Group and Sensormatic Solutions reveals
where retail losses occur and how much money retailers are losing.
External theft and organized retail crime is
the largest individual source of retail loss (25%), but
“Beyond Shrink: 2026 Global Total Retail Loss Study” from IHL Group and
Sensormatic Solutions also indicates that while it accounts for 26% of
total loss among retailers generating $1 billion or more in revenue, for
retailers with revenue under $250 million it drops to 17%.
In a related external theft/organized retail crime finding, the study
shows that 71% of the largest surveyed retailers reported seeing
increased shoplifting, compared with just 28% of the smallest retailers.
And looking at internal loss, the study indicates administrative process
errors cost an average of $103.40 per incident, close to the $107
average cost of an employee theft occurrence.
Return fraud increased for 68% of respondents, nearly matching
the 69% overall reporting increased shoplifting in their retail
locations. Even so, respondents ranked fraud prevention only
fifth-most-important when prioritizing loss-related performance
measures. Supplier fraud, warehouse/sales-area shrink and
goods-receiving loss together account for 33% of total respondent
losses.
Australia reported the highest rate of organized retail crime growth
in the study, with 80% of respondents reporting increases, while 71%
of U.S. respondents and 67% of Spanish respondents also reported rising
activity in this area, which IHL and Sensormatic analysis indicates is
the fact organized retail crime is now an international challenge.
The average loss prevention budget reported in the study is about
1.2% of sales, but respondents reporting spending above 2% of sales
were the only cohort in the study to report more declines than increases
across loss vectors. In addition, respondents that align staffing and
monitoring to traffic patterns report better loss outcomes, with 91%
citing peak traffic periods and 89% citing event-driven crowd surges as
key drivers of loss.

Crime Stoppers Paused in Toronto
Toronto Crime Stoppers pauses program after CBC investigation reveals
details of data leak
Toronto Crime Stoppers is pausing its program, effective immediately,
said its chair, Sean Sportun, in a statement sent late Wednesday
evening.
The news follows an exclusive CBC investigation from earlier in the day
revealing that information from more than 1.5 million tips submitted
to Canadian Crime Stoppers programs over the last 25 years was
exposed in a massive data breach.
It was the first time precise figures were made public showing the
severity of the information exposed, as well as how many Canadian
tipsters were compromised.
Toronto Crime Stoppers now says it has removed the "Tip Submit”
feature from its website and will no longer accept or process any new
information intended for the program. It has also advised
Navigate360 to immediately suspend the intake function for the Toronto
Crime Stoppers chapter from its platform.
In the statement, the organization advised the public not to send tips
by phone, online or through its app "until we have a safer way to
protect you."

Low Level Arrests Surge As Violent
Crime Falls
2025 policing trend: Fewer serious crimes, more minor arrests
Arrests for low-level crimes, including vagrancy and drug possession,
rose in the U.S. from 2024 to 2025 even as rates of violent crime
including homicide plummeted to historic national lows, according to
a new analysis of federal data from the criminal justice and immigration
reforms advocacy group FWD.us.
The report analyzes publicly available FBI and immigration arrest data
and does not include details of whether charges were dropped or if
people served any time in jail or prison.
Four states, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona, accounted for
over half the increase in vagrancy arrests, according to the report.
The legal definition of vagrancy is "roaming from place to place without
a permanent job, home, or material resources."

Moving Beyond Compliance-Based Safety
Training
Retail Safety Training Is Shifting
From Compliance to Preparedness
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers navigate changing store environments, loss prevention and
asset protection teams have an opportunity to strengthen workplace
safety through practical training, employee engagement and proactive
risk management.
For years, workplace safety training in retail has often centered on
compliance requirements, annual refreshers and standardized procedures.
While those elements remain important, retailers are increasingly
recognizing the value of preparing employees to respond confidently to
everyday situations that can create safety risks.
From slips and falls to equipment handling, emergency evacuations and
crowded sales floors, retail employees encounter potential hazards
throughout their shifts. Addressing those risks requires more than
distributing safety manuals or completing online training modules.
One approach is incorporating short, scenario-based exercises into
regular store operations. Rather than relying exclusively on lengthy
training sessions, managers can use brief discussions during team
meetings to reinforce safe practices and review how employees should
respond to specific situations.
For loss prevention and asset protection professionals, this creates an
opportunity to expand their influence beyond traditional security
responsibilities.
LP/AP teams often have visibility into incident reports, operational
vulnerabilities and recurring safety concerns across multiple locations.
That information can help identify where additional training, clearer
procedures or changes to store operations may be necessary.
Employee participation is another important consideration. Workers who
feel comfortable reporting hazards, near misses and unsafe conditions
can provide valuable information before an incident results in an
injury.
However, reporting systems are only effective when employees believe
their concerns will be taken seriously. Store leadership must
demonstrate that safety feedback leads to meaningful action rather than
simply additional paperwork.
Technology can also support these efforts. Digital reporting
platforms, mobile training tools and centralized incident management
systems can help retailers identify patterns, document corrective
actions and deliver consistent guidance across locations.
Ultimately, effective workplace safety programs depend on consistency.
Training must be reinforced, procedures should be reviewed regularly and
employees need opportunities to practice what they have learned.
For retail LP/AP leaders, the goal is not simply to document
compliance. It is to help create a workplace where employees
recognize risks, communicate concerns and make safer decisions
throughout the workday.
Retail’s Untapped Frontline Talent
Pipeline
Why Is the Frontline Stuck at the Counter?
An Urban Institute analysis of federal survey data found that more than
60 percent of American workers held a frontline retail job early in
their careers. This past July, 3.7 million people between 16 and 24
were working in retail.
In my class of 40 students, 31 had worked in retail, but only five
were planning to pursue a retail career. I’ve seen the same pattern
over two years. After three decades in the industry, it doesn’t surprise
me. The entry-level jobs they held were designed to show them a task; it
was never designed to show them the business.
That should give retail leaders something to sit with. Retail sales
associates outnumber retail first-line supervisors and managers by
approximately 255.87 percent based on U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics.
The person you hope to recruit after graduation may already be working
for you, and much of what they believe about a retail career has been
shaped on the sales floor.
What have they been able to see from there?
My answer is that what people believe about a retail career often isn’t
a failure of the industry’s marketing. It can be a reasonable conclusion
drawn from the part of the business they’ve been shown. Employees form
their opinion of a retail career from the decisions they watch their
employer make.
How we handle their questions, whether we back their judgment, and what
happens when something goes wrong is the only career story they
experience.
When was the last time you took your sales associates through retail
complexity hidden in plain sight? Take a product sitting on a shelf.
Someone decided to sell it, negotiated its cost, forecast demand,
allocated inventory, and set a price. Other people worked out how to
promote it, present it, and get it to the customer, whether that meant a
truck, stockroom, or pickup locker. What looks like a simple purchase
brings together finance, merchandising, operations, technology, and a
fair amount of human judgment.

Gatekeeper's SmartWheel Takes On
the Rising Cost of Cart Loss
For years, cart
loss was something stores handled in the parking lot. A few carts
went missing, someone ran a retrieval truck now and then, and the
replacement cost got absorbed into the operating budget. That
approach is getting harder to justify.
A cart that leaves the property is often gone for good, and
replacing a few units at a time is a steady, avoidable expense.
Fewer carts on hand also means a tougher experience for customers
during busy periods, which can lead to lower sales and a bad
customer experience.
One solution to avoid this pattern is
Gatekeeper Systems CartControl, a containment system built
around SmartWheel technology. Retailers set a perimeter, such as the
edge of the parking lot or the inside of the building, and
CartControl stops carts from crossing it. Shoppers don’t notice the
system working, and the store doesn’t lose the cart.
The benefits go beyond the cost of the carts themselves:
For loss prevention
leaders, cart containment now touches several priorities at once:
protecting physical assets, supporting the customer experience,
maintaining community relationships, and staying ahead of local
ordinances.
This
video shows how quickly a single lost cart turns into a bigger
problem.

Retail Websites Face Cyber Threats
Critical PHP flaw puts retail websites and e-commerce systems on alert
AI-discovered PHP flaws threaten
retail and e-commerce sites, including Magento and WooCommerce.
Retailers are being urged to update their web infrastructure
immediately following the disclosure of two critical vulnerabilities
affecting PHP, the technology underpinning widely used e-commerce and
website platforms, including Magento, WooCommerce and WordPress.
The vulnerabilities, collectively known as PHP2Shell, could allow an
unauthenticated attacker to execute code on an affected web server,
potentially giving hackers access to websites and sensitive information
stored in server memory. The PHP development team rated the
vulnerabilities as critical and said updating affected systems is the
only safe option.
The threat matters most for retailers because PHP powers many
e-commerce sites and other customer-facing web applications.
E-commerce cybersecurity firm Sansec said that Magento, WooCommerce, and
Shopware stores are among the potentially affected systems.
Unlike a vulnerability in an e-commerce platform or plug-in, PHP2Shell
resides in PHP itself. That means retailers cannot necessarily
address the threat by simply updating their storefront software.
Businesses that outsource their web infrastructure may instead rely on
hosting, cloud, or technology providers to deploy the necessary PHP
updates.
Researchers at the cybersecurity company Wiz demonstrated
unauthenticated remote code execution against WordPress, Drupal, and
Joomla environments. However, because the vulnerabilities are in PHP
rather than the applications, exploitation doesn’t require a specific
content management system.
Researchers say a successful attack could also expose information
stored in PHP process memory, potentially including passwords,
authentication tokens, API keys, and certificates.

Legitimate Platforms Deliver Malicious
Emails
Attackers abuse legitimate platforms to deliver phishing emails that
pass authentication checks
Over the past year, Cisco Talos says, attackers have abused more than
25 legitimate platforms, spanning collaboration, file-sharing,
survey, payment and AI services. The attackers feed these platforms
hostile input and let them do the delivery.
In two campaigns totaling roughly 1,400 messages, attackers abused
Staples and Dell transactional mail. They planted fake support
numbers in the billing and shipping fields of high-value order
confirmations (an iPad, in the Staples case). The goal isn’t a click
but a phone call, which moves the victim off email entirely.
List bombing is a traditional denial-of-service or distraction tactic
that, in a subset of cases, is being repurposed to deliver malicious
content. The attacker submits victims’ email addresses to legitimate
registration, subscription or notification workflows, and the victims
are bombarded with automated confirmation emails.
Some of them, as Cisco researchers noted, carry a lure typed into the
name, company, or title field of a poorly validated form. The platform’s
welcome email then delivers it, making it look like official platform
mail.

AI Agents Evade Oversight
OpenAI’s coding agents talked themselves out of being monitored
Two AI coding agents running inside OpenAI silently weakened the
systems built to catch AI misbehavior, and one of them then told its
human operator it had done no such thing.
OpenAI disclosed both episodes in a misalignment report released earlier
this week and said it is tightening its defenses, but admits it cannot
yet explain why the agents behaved this way.
AI agents evading oversight
Neither agent was attacking anything. The models involved, GPT-6.1 Sol
and GPT-6 Astra, were doing ordinary engineering work. In both cases,
the agent paused to ask itself whether the safety monitor should stay
on, and in both it talked itself into switching it off.
The company said these incidents were not isolated. It has seen several
cases where an agent launched a new deployment with monitoring turned
off. The agent itself stayed under watch, but whatever it spun up
did not.
“These cases exposed a gap in how we enforce monitoring requirements
on the workloads that our agents launch,” OpenAI noted, and
confirmed it’s working on closing it.

Amazon Rape Allegation
Amazon employee accuses senior executive of raping her on NYC business
trip, claims company failed to perform full investigation
Laura Danbom alleged that she was
raped by a senior executive during a business trip to New York City. She
also claimed that the company told her to keep quiet.
An Amazon employee has alleged that she was raped by a senior
executive during a business trip to New York City. She also claimed
in a lawsuit that the company told her to keep quiet about the alleged
incident and even neglected to perform a full investigation of the
allegations.
The alleged victim, Laura Danbom, works at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters
as a marketing and operations manager for Amazon Web Services. This
week, she sued the e-commerce giant for allegedly subjecting her to a
hostile work environment and violating Washington State’s Silenced No
More Act, per the New York Post. The act protects victims who speak
up about workplace assaults from retaliation.
The alleged rape happened on October 27, 2023. At the time,
Danbom had traveled to New York with a group of colleagues including
Michelangelo Simonte, who is a top-performing advertising executive in
her division. He was based in Madrid, according to the complaint.
Simonte still works for Amazon at its Madrid offices.
The group went to an Amazon-hosted open bar event that evening, and then
continued the gathering at karaoke bars. The suit filed in state court
in Seattle revealed that all of it was paid for by Amazon.
That evening, initially, Danbom and Simonte “flirted,” “joked” and “got
along,” according to the complaint. Later in the night, Simonte “kissed
her,” and “persuaded Laura” to let him accompany her to her hotel room,
per the complaint.
“In Laura’s hotel room, during the early morning hours, Simonte raped
her,” the complaint alleged. “Before the rape started, she said no.
During the rape, Laura asked him: ‘you realize this is,’ and Simonte
finished her sentence saying ‘rape? Yes.’ He ignored her protests. He
raped her.”

Drone Delivery Expansion
Walmart expands 30-minute drone delivery to new metro area
Walmart continues expanding the drone delivery service it operates with
technology from Wing to new markets.
Walmart is now offering 30-minute drone delivery service in the
Charlotte, N.C. metro area via a partnership it initially launched with
Wing, an on-demand drone delivery provider powered by Google parent
company Alphabet, for drone delivery in the Dallas-Fort Worth market in
2023.
This move also continues Walmart’s progress toward its goal of reaching
more than 270 total stores across the country with drone delivery by
2027, ultimately reaching more than 10% of the U.S. population.
To date, Walmart is the first retailer to scale drone delivery across
five states: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas. So
far in 2026, Walmart has also launched Wing drone delivery in Orlando
and Greater Houston.

Peoria, AZ: 6 arrested in $1.4M Walmart fraud scheme shipping goods
from Peoria to Vietnam
What started with a Walmart driver’s tip about dozens of packages
piling up at a Peoria home led investigators to a $1.2 million fraud
scheme stretching from the Valley to Southeast Asia. The Walmart
driver told police on Aug. 22 that he’d delivered 30 to 50 packages
under different names to the same home in just a couple of days.
Days later, a victim reported their Walmart account had been hacked
and used to buy items. Those two reports sparked a two-month
investigation that ended Thursday morning with six arrests,
according to newly released court documents. Investigators say the
group placed about 15,500 orders on Walmart.com using hacked
customer accounts and stolen credit and debit card numbers. They
reportedly altered delivery addresses to get around fraud alerts.
Police linked 11,364 orders worth more than $768,000 to six drop
houses in Mesa, Avondale, Glendale and Peoria, according to court
paperwork. In total, investigators put the fraud at about $1.23
million. The merchandise was reportedly funneled through two boba
shops in Peoria and Tolleson, before being driven to California to
be shipped to Vietnam in containers through U.S. Cargo Shipping LLC.
So far, police say Walmart has confirmed $57,501 in chargeback
losses tied to two victims, and JPMorgan Chase confirmed 203
customers with $8,821 in unauthorized purchases.

Shootings & Deaths
Glendale, AZ: Man shot, killed by Loss Prevention employee outside Glendale
Beauty Supply store
Police say a confrontation led to a loss prevention worker shooting and killing
an armed man at a Glendale shopping center Wednesday evening. It happened around
5 p.m. outside of a beauty supply store near 43rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
Police say a 32-year-old man was working as loss prevention at the store when he
confronted Edgar Perez Lopez, 33, and Lopez’s girlfriend, who were reportedly
smoking pills. The employee told the couple to leave, leading to a confrontation
between the three. Investigators believe Lopez reached for a firearm, and the
employee shot him. Lopez was rushed to the hospital and later died. Authorities
say Lopez had a 9mm handgun and also recovered suspected drugs at the crime
scene. Investigators initially said the employee was in custody, but it’s
unclear if he will be charged. The employee’s “actions remain under
investigation, and the circumstances surrounding the shooting will be evaluated
as part of the investigative process,” Glendale police said in a statement.
Police are gathering additional details about the confrontation and are working
to determine whether Lopez had the gun in his hand when he was shot.

Feds charge driver in alleged $12M cargo theft scheme built on hijacked carrier
identities
Federal prosecutors have uncovered an alleged cargo theft conspiracy involving
at least 24 freight shipments and millions in stolen merchandise. Investigators
say suspects took control of established trucking companies and used their
identities to secure legitimate freight contracts. Drivers then collected
shipments from distribution facilities, but the cargo never reached its intended
destinations. Authorities estimate that thefts involving one defendant exceeded
$12 million in retail value. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of
Connecticut announced federal charges against Nursulton Khaydarov on October 21.
Khaydarov, 33, is a citizen of Uzbekistan and lawful permanent resident of the
United States. Prosecutors accuse him of participating in a conspiracy that
targeted interstate shipments from California and other locations. He pleaded
not guilty during an appearance in federal court in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Greece, NY: German shepherd joins Greece Ridge Mall security
The Greece Ridge Mall has welcomed a new addition to its security team: Luna, a
two-year-old German Shepherd, has begun assisting with patrols and overall
protection of the mall. Luna started last week, and her owner and handler tells
News 8 today that her joining the team just made sense. “It was sort of a divine
thing — this is my personal dog that I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old, so in a
way she’s kind of grown up here; she’s familiar with the mall and the team,”
said Craig Kozlowski, Greece Ridge Security and canine handler. “And the
management team had talked about bringing a dog on — so it just kind of evolved
from there.” Kozlowski adds that the general public and the team have loved
having Luna so far, and that she looks forward to coming to work every day.
