50 in 5: Reduce violent retail crime by 50% in 5 years
 By
Phil Thomson, Co-founder & CEO at
Auror
Over the past decade, I’ve watched some of the world’s largest retailers
uncover the true scale of retail crime using Auror across their store
networks.
I’ve heard powerful stories from law enforcement about taking down
sophisticated organized retail crime groups operating across states and
even countries.
What’s meant the most to me so far on this journey has been our work in
creating a safer environment for retail staff and customers, and
empowering frontline workers and retail leaders to make sense of the
rising violence, brazenness and volume of crime they’ve faced for years.
 Crime
in retail is not victimless and not just shop theft. It’s violence, it’s
assault, and it’s organized.
It makes everyday people feel unsafe, takes an emotional toll on victims
and has an economic impact. It’s a city killer; robbing our communities
and high streets of their vibrancy and it’s getting worse.
That’s why we’re calling on our retail partners and the wider sector to
reduce violent retail crime by 50% in 5 years.
We’re going to throw everything at it - new technology, innovation, and
stronger partnerships with retailers and police - but this is not just
our mission, this is a movement that requires everyone to work together
to make a difference in our communities.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Senate Holds Hearing on Organized
Retail Crime
Grassley Opens Judiciary Hearing on Organized Retail Crime
Prepared Opening Statement by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa -
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee
Beyond the Smash and Grab: Criminal Networks and Organized Theft
 Today’s
hearing addresses the continued rise in organized retail and supply
chain crime, and the criminal networks involved. We’ve all seen
videos of mobs ransacking stores of thousands of dollars of goods in
less than two minutes.
The reality is some of the worst criminal organizations – including
cartels, terrorists and human traffickers – use this type of
crime to fund their misdeeds or launder ill-gotten proceeds.
These groups steal large quantities of merchandise from retail
stores and the supply chain, then attempt to resell these stolen
items online or through other illicit channels.
This threat has evolved to our supply chain, exposing significant
vulnerabilities. Criminals see this type of crime as a low risk,
high reward way to fund their enterprises, with no regard for
the people they endanger.
It’s not just luxury goods these thieves are after. Items in the
food and beverage category are among the most stolen in supply chain
crime. These goods are transported in specific ways to maintain food
safety.
From infant formula to basic groceries, once the seal is broken and
a single pallet of goods is stolen, the entire container is no
longer safe for consumption.
Congress must treat these acts for what they are – acts of violent
[performed by] sophisticated criminals exploiting a patchwork
system. Efforts to address this sweeping problem through civil
actions are insufficient. Criminal action must be met with criminal
punishment.
Federal coordination is needed to share information, promote
collaborative investigations and fully address this sweeping
cross-jurisdictional crime that impacts all Americans. This is one
of the many reasons

Progressive DA Under Fire for Giving
Shoplifters a 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card
Democrat DA in hot seat after retail theft surges in major American
cities
'Shoplifters, law breakers, got the message: You can do this and
you will not go to jail,' claimed GOP Manhattan DA candidate Maud Maron
 Progressive
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is being slammed by his GOP
opponent, Maud Maron, for policies she said give criminals a "get out
of jail free card," contributing to a massive surge in shoplifting
and organized crime in America’s largest city.
This comes after retail industry leaders testified before the Senate
Judiciary Committee on Tuesday on the dramatic rise in organized
retail theft in recent years.
According to the most recent data from the National Retail Federation,
retailers reported a 93% increase in the average number of
shoplifting incidents per year in 2023 compared to 2019, and a 90%
increase in dollar loss due to shoplifting during the same period. The
study further said that retailers surveyed saw a 26% increase in
shoplifting incidents on average from 2022 to 2023.
The report stated that those surveyed experienced an average of 177
shoplifting incidents per day in 2023; however, this number increased to
over 1,000, depending on the retail sector. The report listed
New York as the second city most impacted by
organized retail crime in 2024.
Maron, a former Democrat public defender, now running for Manhattan
district attorney as a Republican, told Fox News Digital that the
"surge in shoplifting" is "not surprising."
"Shoplifters, lawbreakers, got the message: You can do this, and you
will not go to jail," said Maron, adding, "The get-out-of-jail-free
card that Alvin Bragg has been issuing for the last three and a half
years is not subtle."

Safety, Not Merch, is #1
Why Many Retailers Instruct Employees
Not to Intervene During In-Store Crimes
 By
the D&D Daily staff
In the event of a theft or other criminal activity inside a store, many
retailers have clear protocols instructing employees not to physically
intervene. These policies are designed to reduce the risk of injury,
liability and escalation during potentially volatile situations.
According to industry standards, safety is the primary concern.
Retail workers are typically not trained in law enforcement or security
tactics, and attempting to stop or pursue a suspect can quickly lead
to dangerous outcomes. In recent years, a rise in violent incidents —
including cases involving weapons — has further underscored the risks
associated with direct confrontation.
From a legal perspective, companies also face liability concerns.
If an employee is injured while trying to stop a theft, the employer
could be responsible for medical expenses or workers’ compensation
claims. Conversely, if a suspect is injured during an altercation with
store staff, the business may also face legal exposure.
To manage these risks, many retailers focus on deterrence,
documentation, and after-the-fact investigation. Employees are often
instructed to observe, report, and preserve evidence without engaging
directly. This includes providing detailed descriptions, noting
direction of flight, and supplying security footage to law enforcement
or asset protection teams.
In place of intervention, companies are increasingly relying on loss
prevention professionals, remote monitoring technology, and organized
retail crime partnerships to address criminal activity in stores.
These resources are trained and equipped to respond appropriately while
minimizing risks to frontline staff and customers.
While policies can vary between retailers — and even between store
formats within the same company — the general approach remains
consistent: prioritize human safety over
product recovery.
Clear communication of these protocols during employee onboarding and
regular safety training is essential. It ensures staff know what is
expected of them during high-stress situations and helps reinforce a
consistent company-wide response to crime events.
As organized retail crime continues to evolve, non-intervention
policies remain a critical part of many retailers’ broader risk
management strategies.

Minimizing OSHA's Impact on Small
Businesses
OSHA Lowers Penalties on Small Businesses
The change is to support "the entrepreneurs that drive our
economy and give them the tools they need to keep our workers safe
and healthy on the job while keeping them accountable.”
On July 14, OSHA announced it had updated guidance on penalty and
debt collection procedures in the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration's Field Operations Manual.
The agency said the guidance is an "effort to minimize the burden
on small businesses and increase prompt hazard abatement."
“All employers should be offered the opportunity to comply with
regulations that help maintain a safe working environment,” said
Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling in a statement. “Small
employers who are working in good faith to comply with complex
federal laws should not face the same penalties as large employers
with abundant resources. By lowering penalties on small employers,
we are supporting the entrepreneurs that drive our economy and
giving them the tools they need to keep our workers safe and healthy
on the job while keeping them accountable.”
The new policy, outlined in the Penalties and Debt Collection
section of OSHA’s Field Operations Manual, increases penalty
reductions for small employers, making it easier for small
businesses to invest resources in compliance and hazard abatement.

Tariff Pain Beginning to Kick In?
U.S. Inflation Accelerated in June as Trump’s Tariffs Pushed Up
Prices
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier,
as the global trade war started to bite.
Inflation accelerated in June as President Trump’s tariffs started
to leave a bigger imprint on the economy, keeping the Federal
Reserve on track to hold interest rates steady when policymakers
next meet this month.
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier,
the swiftest pace since February, data released by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics showed on Tuesday. That is slightly higher than
expected and up from an annual pace of 2.4 percent in May.
“Core” inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices
and is seen as a reliable gauge for underlying price pressures, also
shifted higher. Those prices were up 2.9 percent from the same
time last year. Over the course of the month, prices rose 0.3
percent, a notable pickup from a 0.1 percent increase in May.
Core prices rose 0.2 percent.
The June data still reflects only the initial impact of Mr.
Trump’s global trade war. Prices of products most exposed to
tariffs, like household furnishings, jumped 1 percent, significantly
higher than the 0.3 rise last month. Prices for appliances,
specifically, rose 1.9 percent, up from 0.8 percent. The apparel
index increased 0.4 percent, snapping multiple months of declining
prices.
nytimes.com
In-Store Shopping is Still Popular
Survey: Consumers value in-store experience; still making unplanned
purchases
While consumers say they plan to scale back spending in the face
of looming tariffs, many have still found themselves making
impromptu in-store purchases.
That’s according to a new study from in-store experience management
platform Optimum Retailing, which revealed that more than
seven-in-10 (72%) consumers have made an unplanned in-store
discretionary purchase in the past month, even as 69% say
they plan to decrease (34%) or maintain (35%) their
discretionary spending over the next six months.
Notably, only 5% of shoppers surveyed by Optimum Retailing said
that in-store shopping doesn't feel worth it anymore, although
more than six-in-10 (63%) consumers say shopping in-store has become
more stressful. Still, over half still find the experience enjoyable
(32%) or worthwhile (24%), indicating a strong opportunity for
retail leaders to drive sales and engagement.

Spree of Retail Cyberattacks Continues
DragonForce hackers claim responsibility for Belk data breach
The North Carolina-based retailer is the latest known victim in a
spree of attacks in the U.K. and U.S.
DragonForce, a cyber criminal group connected to a series of attacks
against retail firms in recent months, is claiming credit for an
attack on the North Carolina-based department store chain Belk.
The group claimed on its leak site that it has approximately
156 gigabytes of data stolen from the company.
Researchers have linked DragonForce to an April attack on Marks &
Spencer, one of the first breaches in a months-long attack spree
linked to Scattered Spider. DragonForce claimed credit for the
intrusion, but M&S officials believe the group was working with
Scattered Spider during the attack.
DragonForce had listed approximately 136 victims on its leak site
as of March, according to Sophos.
The attack spree has claimed a number of high-profile retailers in the
U.K. and U.S., including the Harrods department store in the U.K.,
Victoria’s Secret and Whole Foods distributor United Natural Foods.
Scattered Spider has since turned its attention to the insurance and
airline industries.
Belk, based in Charlotte, N.C., operates approximately 300 stores in
16 southeastern states under the Belk and Belk Outlet names. The
company also operates online.

Don't Just Check the Boxes!
Stop settling for check-the-box cybersecurity policies
After every breach, people ask: How did this happen if there were
cybersecurity policies in place? The truth is, just having them doesn’t
stop attacks. They only work if people know them and follow them when it
matters. That’s where things often break down. Policies fail when they
don’t match how work gets done, get outdated, or focus too much on rules
instead of real risks.
When security rules are full of legal jargon or written for everyone in
the same way, employees have a hard time knowing what they mean or how
to follow them.
Why cybersecurity policies are still failing
Password complexity
Complex password policies often leads to weak choices, like predictable
patterns or users writing passwords down. Although NIST doesn’t
recommend frequent password changes, some organizations may still
require users to change passwords every 60 to 90 days. These outdated
policies can frustrate users and reduce security by encouraging risky
habits.
MFA isn’t a silver bullet
MFA adds an important layer of security, but poor implementation can
undermine its benefits. Relying only on push notifications causes push
fatigue. Users, annoyed by constant alerts, may approve login attempts
without verifying them, giving attackers an easy way in
Security training that doesn’t stick
Cybersecurity training programs should keep up with trends and be
engaging for employees. If the same format is repeated every year just
to check a box, it’s unlikely to have any real impact. The training can
become boring, and employees probably won’t remember the important
points. Often, the problem isn’t the content itself but how it’s
delivered.
Workarounds that weaken security
Overly strict or outdated policies often drive employees toward risky
workarounds. These can include credential sharing to bypass slow access
approvals, using unvetted SaaS tools (shadow IT), or adopting AI
assistants outside company policy (shadow AI).

Modeling Catastrophic Cyber-Risk
Events
Catastrophic cyber event could cause widespread disruptions to global
infrastructure, study suggests
The study by Munich Re and CyberCube also warned that the internet
of things and large language models present near-term risks.
A global malware attack could infect approximately one-quarter of the
world’s computer systems, according to a new report from CyberCube
and Munich Re. Such an attack would likely result in 15% being fully
compromised.
The study also predicted that a major cloud security outage could
last for up to 72 hours, with a single-day outage of the major
providers costing companies approximately 1% of their annual revenue.
Internet-of-things devices in homes and
industrial settings represent a major new risk, the study found, as do
artificial intelligence large language models.
CyberCube and Munich Re conducted the study, based on a survey of 93
leading cyber-risk executives, in part to address concerns about how
the insurance industry can properly model catastrophic cyber-risk events.
Given that global industries are increasingly interconnected and
increasingly dependent on cloud security, a mass computer infection or a
disruption of a major service could have serious consequences.
The WannaCry and NotPetya events nearly a decade ago illustrated the
consequences of mass infections, crippling thousands of computers around
the world and disrupting important businesses
like FedEx and Maersk.

AI Drives Amazon Prime Day Shopping?
Prime Day event drove over $24B in US e-commerce sales, GenAI traffic was up
3,300%
Amazon’s Prime Day, which leads to an overall boost to U.S. e-commerce thanks
to competitive sales, saw a significant increase in retail traffic driven by
generative AI products, including chatbots and browsers. According to a
post-Prime Day analysis by Adobe Analytics, GenAI traffic to U.S. retail
sites increased by 3,300% year-over-year — which was more than the firm had
originally forecast.
Adobe’s e-commerce division provided an analysis of the U.S. retail landscape
encompassing over 1 trillion visits to U.S. retail websites, including 100
million SKUs across 18 product categories. During the Amazon Prime Day event
(July 8-11), U.S. retailers saw $24.1 billion in online spend,
representing 30.3% year-over-year growth, or the equivalent of two Black
Fridays. (Black Friday 2024 saw $10.8 billion in online spend, which was then a
new benchmark for the holiday shopping event.)
The actual results from the firm’s Prime Day analysis came in slightly higher
than its estimates, which predicted $23.8 billion would be spent with U.S.
e-commerce retailers over the four-day period, representing 28.4%
year-over-year growth.
As a result, the figures for the use of GenAI driving online shopping were
higher as well, indicating increased consumer interest in using generative
AI-powered chat services and browsers as online shopping assistants. However,
this AI-driven traffic still remains much smaller than other channels like email
or paid search, Adobe noted.
Paid search, for example, accounted for a 28.5% share of U.S. e-commerce
sales during the Prime Day event, up 5.6% year-over-year.

The Debate Over Amazon Prime Sales Numbers
Amazon Prime gets bad news amid alarming customer issue
Amazon had a bumper 2024. Its Prime Days were a success, and execs proudly
touted it as a record for the company.
Sales topped over $14 billion — up over 11% compared to the year prior. Now,
however, a worrying new report from Momentum Commerce indicates Amazon's 2025
Prime Days aren't quite off to an electric start.
Momentum Commerce claims sales during Amazon's first day of Prime Day, July
8, 2025, were down by 41% compared to the first day in 2024. It's still
predicting Amazon Prime in 2025 to be a big one, however. It projects growth of
over 9% compared to 2024. Amazon, for its part, is refuting Momentum's
findings.
A spokesperson for Amazon told Axios that the numbers are "highly inaccurate"
and "statements made by third-party consultancies that don't have access to the
actual data." Adobe Analytics, on the other hand, claims sales for Prime Day
are already up 10% compared to last year.

Is Amazon Prime Day Getting Boring?
Amazon Prime Day Is Past Its Prime
The annual bargain bonanza wasn’t the bust some feared. But the sale no
longer feels like the major shopping event it once was.
Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Day wasn’t such a dud after all. Or at least that’s how
it appears. The results of the Amazon super sale are infamously hard to parse.
The company didn’t provide any figures, saying only that last Tuesday to Friday
was “the biggest Prime Day event ever” and exceeded any four-day period
that included the deal days. (Prime Day has historically lasted two days; this
was the first time the mega-retailer extended it to four days.)

Developing your verbal skills and focusing on your specific word usage to convey
messages is incredibly important for any successful executive. However,
developing your ability to listen and hear what they're saying is just as
important and in some cases may be even more so. It's great to be able to
articulate in a manner that shows your subject matter expertise, but it's even
better if you can mold it and change it on a dime based on what you're hearing
and seeing. And if your too busy talking, you may just miss the entire
conversation and say something that doesn't even fit. Active listening requires
focus and attention and, as Abraham Lincoln said, "Better to remain silent and
be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Just a Thought,
Gus
