WHO raises coronavirus threat assessment to highest level
 The
World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday increased its coronavirus risk
assessment to "very high" and warned foreign governments not to underestimate
the threat.
Cases of the coronavirus have continued to spread outside China, but WHO
officials said there is still a chance of containing the virus if action is
taken quickly.
"The continued increase in the number of cases, and the number of affected
countries over the last few days, are clearly of concern," WHO Director-General
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Friday.
Still, Tedros said there is still a chance at isolating and containing the
coronavirus.
The WHO hasn't declared the outbreak a pandemic yet, and Tedros said fear
remains the biggest risk to the public.

Coronavirus spreads, and markets plummet
More than a dozen countries have recorded their first confirmed cases of the
virus in the past 48 hours.
Stock markets in Asia and Europe fell for the seventh consecutive day, after the
S&P 500 had its worst single-day decline in nearly a decade. The benchmark
index, at a record high just last Wednesday, has slid more than 10 percent since
then.
Related: Federal workers met quarantined Americans in California without
proper medical training or protective gear, then returned to the general
population, a government whistle-blower said.
How to prepare: Wash your hands, and move away from people who are
coughing or sneezing.
Here's more advice. The Times is also starting an email newsletter with

US malls 'will be hit hard' if coronavirus worsens, study finds
The Most Avoided Location - Shopping Centers & Malls
 Coresight
Research: The survey taken this week found that 58% of people said they are
likely to avoid public areas such as shopping centers if the outbreak worsens.
If the coronavirus spreads in the U.S., that could mean really bad news for U.S.
mall owners, according to a survey taken this week.
The survey was taken Tuesday and Wednesday - before California
said it was monitoring 8,400 people for COVID-19. That announcement came
after U.S. health officials confirmed Wednesday evening the
first possible, community transmission of the coronavirus in a Solano County
resident. The patient had no travel history or contacts that would have put her
at risk, health officials said.
Roughly 27.5% of respondents said they were already beginning to cut back visits
to public areas, Coresight's survey said. Data suggests malls "will be hit
hard," it said.
"Among those likely to change habits if the outbreak worsens, around
three-quarters expect to avoid shopping centers [and] malls - making this the
most-avoided type of location," Coresight founder Deborah Weinswig said. "Shoppers
say they will continue to avoid malls more than shops in general."
China, where the virus originated, has already seen a similar situation play
out. Stores including
Lululemon
and Louis Vuitton have gone dark. Malls are empty.
Streets are being described as ghost towns.

Clearview AI Facial Recognition Unmasked - Leaked to News Outlets
Scraping Internet Images Controversy Continues - Hacked Data Leaked?
Website States: For Law Enforcement Use Only
'Clearview's Facial Recognition Used By DOJ, ICE, Macy's, Kohl's, Walmart,
& The NBA'
 A
BuzzFeed News review of Clearview AI documents has revealed: company working
with more than 2,200 law enforcement agencies, companies, and individuals around
the world
The United States' main immigration enforcement agency, the Department of
Justice, retailers including Best Buy and Macy's, and a sovereign wealth fund in
the United Arab Emirates are among the thousands of government entities and
private businesses around the world listed as clients of the controversial
facial recognition startup with a database of billions of photos scraped from
social media and the web.
The startup, Clearview AI, is facing legal threats from Facebook, Google, and
Twitter, as well as calls for regulation and scrutiny in the US. But new
documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News reveal that it has already shared or sold
its technology to thousands of organizations around the world.
 In
its quest to create a global biometric identification system to span both
public and private sectors, Clearview has signed paid contracts with US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the US Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of New York, and Macy's, according to the document obtained by
BuzzFeed News. The company has credentialed users at the FBI, Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), Interpol, and hundreds of local police departments. In doing
so, Clearview has taken a flood-the-zone approach to seeking out new clients,
providing access not just to organizations, but to individuals within those
organizations - sometimes with little or no oversight or awareness from their
own management.
Kohl's with 2,000 searches and Macy's with 6,000 searches are among the
private companies with the most searches.
Editor's Note: Good that it's being 'unmasked', as scraping images is
just a completely invasive process with no boundaries, consent, approval, or
deletions. Which could lead to an overreaction in Congress.
And while the privacy advocates are even questioning the mainstream ethical
approach currently used by the prevailing solution providers, this process of
unbridled mass identification and matching will eventually lead to potentially
overregulation. Especially given the misrepresentations Clearview's made to the
industry.
Sure, it's growing rapidly and is widely popular, but consider the fact that it
completely eliminates privacy - completely. This is not just a step on that
slippery slop, it's a leap down the slope. Just a thought that may not be very
popular. - Gus Downing

UK Theft Trends Virtually Identical to North America
UK 'Home Secretary Recognizes Impact of Retail Crime'
& Adds $53M to Policing Efforts
Trade Association's Push Pays Off
 Home
secretary Priti Patel has acknowledged the damaging impact that crime has on
independent retailers.
Addressing the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and National Police
Chiefs' Council Partnership, the home secretary referenced "burglaries,
shoplifting and muggings" and their "impact on daily life", acknowledging
how damaging crime can be against retailer's businesses and homes.
Patel, who has worked closely with Katy Bourne - chair of the Association of
Police and Crime Commissioners - said: "By working together we can tackle the
low-level offenders before they graduate to carrying knives and weapons and
participating in serious crimes.
"We need to investigate every type of every crime with the rigour that
people expect."
Patel said that a new Royal Commission will review the effectiveness of the
criminal justice system - looking at ways to slash bureaucracy and boost
public confidence.
She added: "There will be an additional £41.5m ($53M U.S.) surge of funding
to help 18 forces drive down the scale of violent crime.
"Through the National Policing Board and the new Crime and Policing Performance
Board, I will set expectations so that we can get the accountability in
policing."
Stuart Reddish, national president of the NFRN, said: "Everyone has the
fundamental right to feel safe behind their counter. As a long-time friend
of the home secretary's, her consistent awareness of retail crime is
fantastic news for all NFRN members.
"We will continue to represent our members by working alongside the government -
ensuring that the devastating effects of retail crime are recognized and
any necessary changes are made."

U.S. Senators Peters, Walberg Call for Examination of Security Standards at U.S.
Ports
Inconsistent Screening Requirements have
Halted Service at Port of Monroe while other Ports Continue Operations
U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) and U.S. Representative Tim Walberg (MI-07) called
on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study inconsistencies in the
cargo screening standards at American ports that have halted service at
Michigan's Port of Monroe. Unless the Port invests in significant and costly
screening technology and infrastructure upgrades at their own expense. Other
coastal and Great Lakes ports have not been subjected to the same strict
screening requirements. The change in requirements has severely impacted the
Port of Monroe's operations, and undermines Michigan's economic competitiveness.
"We have received reports that CBP is not applying a consistent standard at
ports of entry across the United States for screening requirements for
non-containerized cargo, including for ports in Michigan," wrote the Members.
"CBP's inconsistent approach gives a strategic advantage to some ports while
placing burdensome infrastructure requirements on other ports, such as demands
from CBP to purchase expensive scanning equipment that is provided by the
federal government at other points of entry."
Currently, the
SAFE Port Act and other federal regulations outline specific
requirements for incoming containerized cargo. These requirements lack clear
outlined standards for non-containerized cargo. Federal regulations mandate 100%
scanning for incoming containerized cargo, but the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) has extended the implementation deadline multiple times. The
Members have asked GAO to examine whether these standards are being equally
enforced at different ports across the country, and how they apply to different
types of cargo, including non-containerized cargo such as break bulk.

FCC Probe Finds Mobile Carriers Didn't Safeguard Customer Location Data
- AT&T, T-Mobile among companies facing
hundreds of millions of dollars in fines
-
Selling Location Data for Law Enforcement & to
Corporations
 The
Federal Communications Commission is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in
fines from the country's top cellphone carriers after officials found the
companies failed to safeguard information about customers' real-time
locations.
The proposed fines, which could total more than $200 million, are expected to be
announced Friday, one of the people said. Last month, FCC chairman Ajit Pai
notified members of Congress that an agency investigation had concluded that "one
or more" carriers had apparently violated federal law by disclosing
real-time location data
"Carriers are not allowed to turn around and sell that location."

How Mass Notification Tools Can Help Improve Workplace Safety
Any workplace has a duty of care to provide
its workers with a safe environment.
While many workplaces have certain safety measures in place, many lack a
cohesive system for alerting and managing situations. This can be due to a
number of challenges, including having a large population or campus that can
make it difficult to ensure everyone is notified, having too many devices or
systems that need to be activated, or not being able to quickly gather key
stakeholders who can respond to an emergency.
Developing an effective workplace safety plan relies on strong communication.
Workplace leaders in charge of safety need to look at addressing two key
areas to help provide an environment that puts worker well-being at the
forefront.
The first area is speed. How fast a message goes out often has a direct
impact on how quickly people get out of harm's way. Safety leaders need to
identify opportunities to speed up their messaging workflow to ensure messages
go out as quickly as possible.
The other area is reach. Leaders need their messages to reach as close to
100 percent of their population as possible so no one misses an important alert
that could impact their safety. If a workplace is only using one method for
communication, like mass SMS text messages, it's unlikely they are reaching
everyone as quickly as possible. The stumbling block many workplaces run into
though is that by adding more tools that expand their reach, they add to the
time it takes to get a message out to all of those systems.
That's why organizations need to look for a way to tie together and manage
disparate systems to make alerting as easy as possible. With the right mass
notification solution, they can bring together a wide range of devices, set up
simple triggers to activate alerts and prebuild messages for common events.

RSA Conference 2020 Recap
Fortune: Four takeaways from the annual RSA security conference
 This
year's RSA Conference in San Francisco had the unfortunate timing of
coinciding with the coronavirus outbreak, which led to companies like IBM, AT&T,
and Verizon dropping out of attending the event out of fears that employees
could catch the virus.
But, the show carried on, and attendees - a few wearing face masks -
soldiered on to hear topics including artificial intelligence's impact on cybersecurity, the rise of easy-to-access-genetic testing services and how it
impacts data privacy, and the Department of Defense's decision to ban U.S.
governments from buying telecommunication equipment from Chinese tech giant Huawei.
Here's a few of the biggest takeaways from the conference sessions:
A leading cyber security expert shares his thoughts on A.I.
&uuid=(email)) Esteemed cryptographer Adi Shamir says technologists are having a difficult time
explaining how neural networks learn to discover patterns in lots of data. These
neural networks are so big, it can be like having a million interconnected
calculators. So trying to find the few that made the most difference in reaching
the conclusion can be a challenge.
Shamir noted how some A.I.-powered image recognition systems can confuse photos
that look normal, but have been subtly altered by other A.I. systems, as in the
case when Google's technology mistook an image of a turtle with a rifle.
The battle between the DoD and Huawei
A panel that included representatives from both the U.S. Department of Defense
and Huawei about the federal government's blacklisting of the Chinese tech giant
did not end in harmony.
Katie Arrington, the federal cyber information security officer of acquisitions,
reiterated the government's line that Huawei and its alleged ties to the Chinese
government is a national security issue. She said that her agency has classified
data, which she cannot share, that proves her point.
Huawei chief security officer Andy Purdy, however, criticized the federal
government's decision, explaining that there are other ways to ensure that the
government purchases equipment without so-called backdoors, without completely
blacklisting a company.

RSA: Equifax CISO touts company's transparency as it seeks breach redemption
Fresh off a financial settlement over its 2017 data breach that affected roughly
half the U.S. population, Equifax is forging ahead with a $1 billion-plus
investment in a new security plan - and CISO Jamil Farshchi was eager to
tout the credit reporting agency's progress so far in a session this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.
Farshchi, who was hired as CISO in February 2018 after previously helping
Home Depot clean up its security practices following its own breach, said
that moving forward, the company is focusing on three key pillars: assurance in
its data and controls, automation and generating security awareness among senior
leadership, as well as lower-level employees, who will be scored on their
security practices.
Farshchi asserted that Equifax has already succeeded in improving its corporate
culture, controls and compliance, while also partnering with customers and
industry organizations to share lessons learned. Indeed, he was particular
effusive about the company's openness about its recovery efforts so far.
Since the breach, the company has hired more than 1,000 employees in IT and
cybersecurity, despite a shortage of talent in this field. The company also
had to regain its compliance certifications after losing them as a result
of the incident.

Crescent City, CA: Home Depot Employee, Local Contractor Arrested for Burglary,
Grand Theft and Conspiracy
On 2-27-2020 the Crescent City Police Department concluded a collaborative

collaborative effort to reduce theft of merchandise from the Crescent City Home
Depot. We look forward to being able to work with the Asset Protection Team from
Home Depot in the future to investigate and further thefts from the store when
