Walgreen's Sued by Sister of Man Allegedly Killed by Guard
The twin sister of a 20-year-old man allegedly shot and killed by a security guard who worked at a Walgreens store in Hollywood in December is suing the drug store chain. Psykssyanna Hart, sibling of Jonathan Hart, brought the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, alleging negligence, assault and battery and a violation of civil rights.

The siblings' mother, Psychesia Hart, filed a similar suit against Walgreens on Thursday. But the new suit states that Hart's mother was not involved in much of the young man's life. "This lawsuit concerns the despicable conduct of Walgreens, a multibillion-dollar corporation, whose executive board placed Walgreens interests in maximizing the corporation's profits above the safety of innocent consumers shopping at their stores," the suit alleges. It also alleges Walgreens was negligent in the screening, hiring and training of security guards hired through third-party companies. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages. Walgreens released a statement after the first suit was filed.

"As we have stated from the beginning, we immediately terminated the security company that employed the guard involved in this tragic incident," the statement read. "We are fully committed to providing a safe environment for our employees and customers in the communities we serve. Any suggestion of racial profiling or discrimination is simply false and contrary to our deep commitment to inclusive diversity."

The suit alleges that Hart was shot and killed by guard Donald Ciota about 8 p.m. Dec. 2 as Hart tried to leave the store after falsely being accused of shoplifting. Hart was targeted because he was black and gay, the suit states. Co-defendants in the new suit with Walgreens are Ciota, American Protection Group Inc. and S.E.B. Services, two companies that provide security guards to Walgreens. nbclosangeles.com

7,000 Armed Security Guards Could be Working Unlicensed in Louisiana
In response to estimates that as many as 7,000 armed security guards are operating without a license, the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners will, in the next few weeks, train 318 law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge to inspect the credentials of on-duty guards.

The issue of private security guards operating illegally isn't a new one, nor is it unique to Louisiana. Still, LSBPSE Executive Director Fabian Blache says the board's effort - called Operation Forged Alliance - has already caught 9,864 guards working illegally since the program had its soft launch in late 2017.

Typically, these guards provide security at retail centers, banks and hotels as well as being hired for private events. They publicly pushed the initiative in New Orleans a couple of months ago, and Blache says he spoke to Baton Rouge Police Department officials on Tuesday about following suit. privateofficerbreakingnews.blogspot.com

How Amazon automatically tracks and fires warehouse workers for 'productivity'
Documents show how the company tracks and terminates workers

Amazon's fulfillment centers are the engine of the company - massive warehouses where workers track, pack, sort, and shuffle each order before sending it on its way to the buyer's door.

Critics say those fulfillment center workers face strenuous conditions: workers are pressed to "make rate," with some packing hundreds of boxes per hour, and losing their job if they don't move fast enough. "You've always got somebody right behind you who's ready to take your job," says Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and a prominent Amazon critic.

Documents obtained by The Verge show those productivity firings are far more common than outsiders realize. In a signed letter last year, an attorney representing Amazon said the company fired "hundreds" of employees at a single facility between August of 2017 and September 2018 for failing to meet productivity quotas. A spokesperson for the company said that, over that time, roughly 300 full-time associates were terminated for inefficiency.

The number represents a substantial portion of the facility's workers: a spokesperson said the named fulfillment center in Baltimore includes about 2,500 full-time employees today. Assuming a steady rate, that would mean Amazon was firing more than 10 percent of its staff annually, solely for productivity reasons. The numbers are even more staggering in North America as a whole. Amazon operates more than 75 fulfillment centers with more than 125,000 full-time employees, suggesting thousands lose their jobs with the company annually for failing to move packages quickly enough.

The documents also show a deeply automated tracking and termination process. "Amazon's system tracks the rates of each individual associate's productivity," according to the letter, "and automatically generates any warnings or terminations regarding quality or productivity without input from supervisors." (Amazon says supervisors are able to override the process.) theverge.com

Suddenly, free 1-day shipping is the new normal
At first, Target and Walmart seemed blindsided by Amazon's announcement last Thursday that its free two-day Prime shipping offer is already on its way to becoming free delivery in just one day for many items. Those retailers' shares took a hit in the initial aftermath.

Walmart didn't take that lying down, however, and headed to Twitter late Friday to not just meet Amazon's challenge, but raise it. "One-day free shipping ... without a membership fee," the retail giant tweeted. "Now THAT would be groundbreaking. Stay tuned." retaildive.com

Feds Want Dollar Tree To Forfeit Fake Barbie Dolls
The U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota has slapped Dollar Tree with a civil forfeiture complaint over thousands of allegedly infringing Barbie dolls, the office said Thursday. The prosecutor's office announced it was seeking the forfeiture of nearly 22,000 "fashion dolls" imported by Greenbrier International Inc., which does business as Dollar Tree Inc. These dolls infringe on toy maker Mattel Inc.'s copyright, specifically features of Mattel's "CEO Barbie" doll head, the office said.

The allegedly infringing dolls were discovered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September 2017 after a Canadian National Railway train stopped in Ranier, Minnesota, carrying a shipping container belonging to Dollar Tree, the office said. Agency officials opened the container, which was marked "other toys," and discovered the dolls. law360.com

Cities could discourage to-go cups
Environmentalists working with local governments may have a new target to draw their ire: the to-go coffee cup. As local and national governments move to tax - or ban - to-go cups, Starbucks and Dunkin' race to find an alternative. Earlier this year Berkeley, Calif.'s city council instituted a new 25-cent charge on take-away cups. Other local governments challenged by waste disposal may soon follow.

The United States creates 120 billion take-away cups each year, or about 20% of the global total. Almost all the cups end up in landfills where they take up to 20 years to decompose. bloomberg.com

Hedge fund investor blamed for tanking Payless
Payless ShoeSource filed for bankruptcy in February and announced that it would close all its stores in the U.S. along with the company's website. Some believe that the company's failure can be blamed on Alden Global Capital, the retailer's majority shareholder, which took steps that undermined Payless' chances for a turnaround while helping the firm reap benefits at the expense of employees and creditors. A judge in the Eastern District of Missouri ruled last week that measures be put in place that would ensure that creditors and lenders get equal treatment to Alden during the bankruptcy process. retailwire.com

Face Recognition Privacy Certification Offered
by Loss Prevention Foundation and FaceFirst

The Loss Prevention Foundation and FaceFirst team up to enhance security certification that will help retailers maximize security while protecting biometric data

LOS ANGELES - The Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF) and FaceFirst have formed a partnership to add biometric privacy and compliance content to the LPF's industry-leading LPQualified and LPCertified certification programs for loss prevention leaders. The initiative, which will be the first of its kind, is needed as retailers adopt face recognition in great numbers to fight the organized retail crime epidemic. The total cost of inventory shrink to the retail industry is $47 billion annually, according to the NRF.

The new content, which will be available mid-year, is designed to ensure that retailers are adhering to best practices around responsible biometric data handling and purging, human verification, encryption, face redaction and other key privacy concepts. Proctored LPQ and LPC exams are offered at more than 1400 locations throughout the US and at 6000 locations worldwide and are taken by career retail security professionals ranging from early-stage to the executive level. FaceFirst will also offer scholarships to qualified industry professionals.

"The new biometric security content is going to greatly enhance our certification," said Terry Sullivan, LPC, president of the Loss Prevention Foundation. "Our partners are what make it possible for us to continue advancing the LP profession through education."

The foundation's LPQualified course and exam were created with input from more than 170 loss prevention professionals representing over 75 of today's leading retail companies, while the LPCertified course and exam were designed with input from 300 professionals representing more than 130 leading retail and solution provider companies.

"The Loss Prevention Foundation is the most respected educator in the retail security space," said Peter Trepp, FaceFirst CEO and author of The New Rules of Consumer Privacy. "Our partnership not only fulfills much-needed demand for industry best practices but is a sign that this transformative technology is here to stay."

FaceFirst is the exclusive provider of biometric privacy content to the LPF.


 

 


 


 

The Great Privacy Debate:  U.S. judge allows law enforcement to compel suspect to unlock smartphone with biometrics
A U.S. federal district court judge in Massachusetts has ruled that agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) can force people to unlock their smartphones with fingerprint biometrics in the execution of a search warrant, The Register reports.

Judge Judith Dein approved the warrant to search the property of a suspected firearms trafficker, including any iPhone found at his Boston apartment. The affidavit notes that communications with cell phones are among the evidence that led to the identification of the suspect, and that his iPhone could therefore reasonably be expected to contain evidence of illegal activity. The officer providing the affidavit also points out that the biometric unlocking method is necessary because otherwise the device can only be unlocked with the password, which the suspect would have to voluntarily provide.

Passwords are considered potentially self-incriminating testimony, and therefore are protected by the Fifth Amendment, which led a forensics consultancy to advise law enforcement to try to preserve the possibility of biometric unlocking for seized devices last year.

A California judge recently ruled that U.S. police cannot compel people to unlock devices with their facial or fingerprint biometrics, arguing that biometrics are equivalent to the physiological responses of lie-detector tests, which are considered testimony. A similar point was made in a 2017 ruling in an Illinois federal court case. biometricupdate.com

Canada: McDonald's app customers are getting their accounts hijacked by hackers who spent as much as $2,000 on enormous orders of Big Macs and nuggets
McDonald's app users are being targeted by hackers who order more than $2,000 worth of meals and leave no trace. The "My McD's" app in Canada can be used to pre-order food and drink for collection, and stores credit card information for payments. So far in 2019 there have been dozens of reports on Twitter, App Store reviews, and Reddit that the app is often the target of hackers.

McDonald's says it is "aware" of the reports but is "confident in the security of the app." On some occasions, McDonald's Canada has refused to refund fraudulent transactions and urged users to contact their banks for compensation. businessinsider.com

Apple accused of anti-competitive practices after removing rival apps
Apple has removed several apps that enable parents to track and limit their children's screen time. Apple said it was because those apps were abusing a kind of technology that enables third parties to access sensitive information including user location and the device's camera. A screen time tracker is built into the iPhone software by default, and third-party app developers claimed they are being treated unfairly. cnbc.com

Namogoo Report Reveals How Online Fraud Is Effecting E-Commerce Industry
Namogoo, the company fighting against Online Journey Hijacking - a rapidly growing challenge facing eCommerce brands - today released its latest Benchmark Report for 2018. The key findings provide a comprehensive look at a growing but little-known problem that affects 15-25 percent of all user web sessions and costs eCommerce brands hundreds of millions in revenue.

With the only solution helping online retailers block Online Journey Hijacking, Namogoo uses analytics and machine learning to prevent the injection of unauthorized ads that direct consumers to competitors' sites. Powered by these AI analytics, Namogoo's report illustrates the scale and impact of this problem on both user experience and online business revenue. The findings are based on an analysis of billions of page views in 2018 across various eCommerce verticals in the U.S. and Europe.

Among the report's major takeaways:

Users on all major desktop web browsers exhibited high infection rates: But Apple's Safari web browser had the highest such infection rate for both desktop and mobile users at 24.66% and 19.19% respectively.

Mobile Infection Rates: Infection rates on desktops are generally higher than on mobile devices. This can be attributed to the fact that while mobile browsing is increasing, most conversions still occur on desktops. Desktop users in both the U.S. and Europe infected with Online Journey Hijacking - hovering at just over 20 percent of all desktop website visitors - substantially impacted online revenue for businesses throughout 2018.

Online Journey Hijacking by Vertical: Online Journey Hijacking impacts all verticals since it is caused by malware running on the consumer's device. Desktop infection rates include home (23.13 percent), apparel (22.99 percent), eye wear (20.45 percent), gifts and hobbies (18.28 percent) and health and beauty (17.64 percent).

Checkout Abandonment Rates: As the report's conversion findings suggest, the most active consumers are often exposed to unauthorized promotions as a result of downloading malicious content. Once these disruptions are removed from their experience at checkout, they abandon this critical stage of the sales funnel less frequently, making purchases more often. martechadvisor.com


Amazon users targeted in 'brushing' scam
According to retail security experts, a scam known as "brushing" has targeted Amazon users across the country. An online seller purchases their own products with a fake account and ships them to a real address. The seller then writes a positive review of their items from the fake account.

"The positive reviews are like gold. People are always looking for a new hole in the structure at Amazon to be able to put more fake positive reviews on them," says retail security expert Brian Kilcourse. In a statement to CBS News in 2018, Amazon said they investigate every report of customers receiving unsolicited packages and will ban all vendors and reviewers who abuse the reviews system. cbsaustin.com

Houston, TX: Bumbling burglars butt-dial 911 on themselves,
arrested after high-speed chase

A pair of bumbling burglars were arrested after apparently butt-dialing 911 while fleeing the scene of a burglary at a Best Buy near Houston early Saturday. The men are alleged to have knocked off a Best Buy in Sugar Land, Texas, at about 3 a.m. While responding to an alarm at the store, dispatch received a 911 call in the area, Houston police said. But instead of a caller, they heard only background noise. Authorities said they pinged the cellphone, which was coming from a car traveling toward Houston from the suburban electronics store, and took off in pursuit. The suspects led police on a chase that reached speeds of 120 mph, authorities said. The suspects bailed out of their truck in northeast Houston, but two of the three men were captured. The third remains at large. Authorities found stolen laptops and other electronics from Best Buy in the suspects' truck. The same Best Buy in Sugar Land was the scene of a $200,000 robbery in March 2015. abcnews.go.com

One of your primary objectives in any negotiation should be to show a positive, upbeat and an enthusiastic approach to the entire process regardless of the offer. Always wait for the details before accepting any offer because the devil may be in the details. Remember, the hardest thing to negotiate is the benefits because of precedent-setting company standards. If you prepared the employer before the offer with a written (emailed) list of your entire current package in detail, it can make it easier to discuss when it counts the most.

Just a Thought,
Gus
