Nedap applies for global patent for new Virtual Shielding technology
Nedap announces that the patent application is pending in over 120 countries for !D Cloud's latest functionality: Virtual Shielding. This smart allocation technology in the Nedap !D Cloud software platform, allows store staff to easily read RFID tags by using RFID handheld devices and automatically determine the actual (sub) location within a store of RFID tags in an accurate way. This solves the problem of reading RFID tags through walls. The industry has long denied the feasibility of reliably determining individual tag locations without physical shielding however, Nedap has cracked the code on this.  nedap.com

Report indicates facial biometric accuracy improving but image quality could help further
A team of researchers from the Florida Institute of Technology and the University of Notre Dame have found generally higher false-match rates (FMR) but lower false non-match rates (FNMR) for images of African-Americans processed by facial biometric systems, but also that image quality may be a greater factor than the balance of quantity between different demographics.

For the report, "Characterizing the Variability in Face Recognition Accuracy Relative to Race," (PDF) the researchers studied the results of two unnamed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) matchers, and two convolutional neural network (CNN) -based matchers, VGG and ResNet. The results with the "COTS-A" and VGG matchers were consistent with previous studies that have found facial recognition is sometimes less accurate for matching women and people with dark skin. The newer "COTS-B" and ResNet matchers showed results even more accurate for African-Americans than for Caucasians.

IBM launched a new dataset specifically to help advance the industry's understanding of diversity in facial biometrics earlier this year. biometricsupdate.com

Marijuana Use Up Among Workers; Opioid Use Down
Some Retailers Stopped Testing For Marijuana

More U.S. workers are testing positive for marijuana while the number testing positive for opioids continues to decline, according to the annual Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index.

Based on an analysis of nine million drug tests conducted in 2018, Quest determined that 5.1 percent of the general workforce tested positive for drugs and another 2.7 percent of workers in safety-sensitive positions regulated by federal law did so. Those in safety-sensitive jobs include pilots; rail, bus and truck drivers; and workers in nuclear power plants.

The combined data from the general and safety-sensitive workforce demographics show that, overall, 4.4 percent of the U.S. workforce had positive drug screens in 2018, the highest such rate since 2004 but a far cry from Quest's first drug-testing analysis in 1988, when the drug positivity rate was 13.6 percent.

The 2018 data show a continuing trend of increased marijuana use among workers: The number of workers and job applicants who tested positive for marijuana climbed 10 percent last year to 2.3 percent.

In the general U.S. workforce, the positivity rate for opiates (mostly codeine and morphine) in urine drug testing declined nearly 21 percent in 2018 to 0.31 percent, the largest drop in three years.

"Our analysis shows that marijuana is not only present in our workforce, but use continues to increase," said Barry Sample, senior director of science and technology at Quest Diagnostics. "As marijuana policy changes and employers consider strategies to protect their employees, customers and general public, employers should weigh the risks that drug use, including marijuana, poses to their business."

Rethinking Zero Tolerance

Some employers have stopped screening for marijuana among job candidates, Sample said.


"You watch what's going on in society ... and you say, 'We've got to adjust,'" said Marc Cannon, a spokesman for AutoNation, the largest U.S. car retailer. The company stopped screening for marijuana three years ago. "A lot of great candidates were failing the test," Cannon told the Los Angeles Times. "There are people who drink and are great workers, but they don't do it on the job. Marijuana is just like alcohol."

In 2014, Target stopped across-the-board screening and instead began focusing only on safety-sensitive positions such as security guards and warehouse machinery operators. Kroger, a Cincinnati-based grocery store chain narrowed its drug screens to just one-fifth of its job candidates, including managers and pharmacy workers. shrm.org

Growing Nationwide Crime Trend
How America's Drive-Thrus Serve Robbers, Drug Dealers and Other Criminals

A customer helps himself to $860 cash and checks from the drive-thru register by sending an employee away from the unclosed window to break a large-denomination bill.

This McDonald's cash grab in Coolidge, Arizona, is just one example of many drive-thru deviances happening throughout the United States and Canada. From money-grubbing fugitives, soused or snoozing drivers idling behind the wheel in line, to all sorts of riff-raff menacing workers, customers or armed security guards - they're hitting drive-thru windows at food chains and banks as a price of convenience.

"The drive-thru can be favorable to somebody with unfavorable intentions," Kevin Trimble, president and founder of Loss Prevention Solutions, Inc, an industry expert with almost 30 years experience and formerly the U.S. Director of Security for the McDonald's Corporation.

Drive-thrus at banks and fast-food joints are meant to be in-and-out, but that ease of use can help hoodlums make cleaner getaways.

"They have access to the freeway or interstate, multiple egress and ingress which check the boxes that a criminal uses to commit a crime," Roberts explained, adding they're fairly low risk yet low return.

"This is a nationwide problem." newsweek.com

UK's Retail Giant Sainsbury Launches First Ever Till-Free Supermarket
The local convenience outlet at Holborn Circus has been refurbished for the three-month trial, and the checkout area and the bank of tills at the front of the shop have been removed.

You can still pay by card and cash, but you will have to use a helpdesk manned by a single member of staff - so it's probably not the best idea.

Other supermarkets, including Waitrose, Sainsbury's, the Co-op and Tesco have launched or trialed apps that allow shoppers to pay via a mobile phone - but Sainsbury's is the first to remove traditional checkouts.

This is an experiment rather than a new format for us - it hasn't been done in the UK before and we're really excited to understand how our customers respond to the app experience. metro.co.uk

Credit Card Compromise Up 212% as Hackers Eye Financial Sector
Financial services firms saw upticks in credential leaks and credit card compromise as cybercriminals go where the money is.

More than one-quarter of all malware attacks target the financial services sector, which has seen dramatic spikes in credential theft, compromised credit cards, and malicious mobile apps as cybercriminals seek new ways to generate illicit profits.

The first quarter of 2019 saw a 212% year-over-year spike in compromised credit cards, 129% surge in credential leaks, and 102% growth in malicious financial mobile apps.

In January 2019, roughly 2.2 billion usernames and passwords were leaked on the Dark Web in an incident dubbed "Collections #1-5," named for the relatively bland file names containing the data. Researchers saw a major increase in leaked credentials during this time frame - credential leaks in the first quarter of 2019 nearly doubled those of any of the previous four quarters.

Credential theft is a pervasive and dangerous threat in financial services, Accenture researchers note in a new report on industry threats. In 2018, more than 43,000 breaches across industries involved the use of customer credentials stolen from botnet-infected clients. Credential theft is a rapidly growing threat to enterprise networks, especially if cybercriminals gain access to the username and password of a privileged employee. With this level of access, they don't need malware to achieve their goals.

Cybercriminals primarily use compromised credit card numbers to make small purchases
, a tactic they can use to evade detection while generating nearly 10 times more "free money" than what the card is worth on the Dark Web. Credit card companies usually reimburse people affected by card fraud; as a result, cybercriminals see potentially big gains and little risk. darkreading.com

The Flip Side of GDPR - Hide It
UK Police and NCSC to Breach Victims: We Won't Tell Regulators

Incident Responders and Law Enforcement Promise Firewall With GDPR Watchdog

Nearly one year after the EU's new privacy law came into effect, Britain's National Cyber Security Center continues to assist data breach victims. Its mission is to help organizations understand what happened and mitigate the attack in its immediate aftermath.

Law enforcement and intelligence officials say they don't want breach victims to worry about sanctions, but instead immediately seek advice.

"We absolutely see our key priority as helping the victim mitigate and get back on their feet," Adrian Searle, head of incident response for NCSC, said. govinfosecurity.com

Security Think Tank: Focus on malicious use of AI in 2019
In 2018, many artificial intelligence (AI) experts, along with the University of Cambridge and University of Oxford, collaborated on an important paper entitled The malicious use of artificial intelligence: forecasting, prevention and mitigation. Outlining potential dangers for AI and its malicious use, the paper calls for policy makers and technical researchers to collaborate closely to investigate, prevent and mitigate potential malicious misuse of AI.

Given the speed with which AI is progressing, this action should occur in 2019, but probably will not, due to the difficulties of getting policy makers and technical researchers to engage in such a fashion. Such a delay will increase the risk of AI being successfully misused for malicious purposes. computerweekly.com

The FBI Successfully Pursuing BEC Crimes
Miami Man Admits to Laundering More than $1.5 M to $3.5M in Proceeds from Business Email Compromise Schemes

Alfredo Veloso, 43, of Miami, today admitted to opening bank accounts, and to recruiting others to open bank accounts, as a conduit for stolen funds in connection with a wide-ranging international money laundering operation for business email compromise and other cyber-schemes.

As stated in court records, a related cyberattack aspect of the scheme involved the creation, by co-conspirators, of email addresses that mimicked, but differed slightly from, legitimate email addresses of supervisory employees at various companies. The conspirators used these deceptive email addresses to send emails that appeared to be requests for payment of legitimate invoices or debts owed by the victims. The victims were deceived into transferring funds by wire into the bank accounts opened by the money mules and controlled by Veloso and the co-conspirators.

Veloso admitted that he recruited more than eight individuals to participate as mules in the money laundering scheme, many of whom were women he met through his kink pornography/adult film business. Veloso and his mules laundered between $1.5 to $3.5 million dollars. justice.gov

Alibaba Pays $250 Million to Settle Counterfeiting Warning Lawsuit
Hide Regulatory Warning Before Going Public

The lawsuit accused the e-commerce giant of concealing a regulatory warning about its ability to stop counterfeiting two months before its $25 billion IPO in 2014.

Alibaba Group Holding said on Monday it will pay $250 million to settle a US lawsuit faulting the Chinese e-commerce company for concealing a regulatory warning about its ability to stop counterfeiting before it went public in 2014.

The lawsuit accused Alibaba of securities fraud for failing to disclose it had met with China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce on July 16, 2014, two months before the company's $25 billion initial public offering. businessoffashion.com

UK Retailers sound the alarm over tough anti-fraud rules for online sales
Tough new anti-fraud rules could make it impossible to process online transactions and result in businesses missing out on sales worth billions of pounds, industry groups have warned.

From Sep 14 purchases worth more than £30 will require "two-factor authentication", such as a bank card and a password, or a mobile phone and a fingerprint.

The aim is to make online transactions more secure, on a par with the chip-and-PIN system required in shops.

However, retailers fear that far too few businesses are aware they will need to prepare for the move. They say the payments industry and regulator have failed to set out a clear and standardised system to allow the change to happen smoothly. (Subscription required) telegraph.co.uk

Gretna, NE: Quick Change Artist hits Walmart, during $2,300 transaction
Investigators need help identifying a quick change artist who paid for expensive items with too little cash. The theft happened at the Walmart near Highway 370 and Interstate 80 in Gretna. A man is caught on camera counting out $2,300 in cash to buy two laptops and an iPad. The clerk told the man the payment is short, so he takes back the money. Instead of adding more cash, he keeps most of it in his other hand. The clerk was fooled into not only taking less money but giving change. "He basically keeps over half of what he had given her originally and left the store with the merchandise and about $1,500 in cash," Det. Kevin Jones with the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office explained. wowt.com

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
