Retailers Make 'Dirty Dozen' Unsafe Workplace List
Top-Ranked Amazon Pushes Back

Amazon, Lowe's and Tesla are among the firms on a list of employers with unsafe workplaces published by a federation of labor, health and safety groups.

The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH) released its annual "The Dirty Dozen" employers of 2018 last week in observance of Workers' Memorial Week, honoring workers who lost their lives on the job and those who have suffered workplace injuries and illnesses.

According to National COSH, the "dirty dozen" for 2018 and the reason they are under scrutiny are:

1. Amazon - Seattle, Washington: Seven workers killed at Amazon warehouses since 2013 - including three workers within five weeks at three separate locations in 2017. (Amazon has pushed back. See reply below.)

3. Dine Brands Global, Inc. (IHOP and Applebee's) - Glendale, California: Demands for sex, groping, threats of violence against workers. More than 60 complaints about sexual and harassment and abuse.

5. Lowe's Home Improvement - Mooresville, North Carolina: 56 U.S. deaths are linked to exposure to paint strippers containing methylene chloride, including 17 workers who died while refinishing bathtubs. The retail giant still sells products with this deadly substance, despite appeals from workers, consumers and families.

Workplace deaths in the U.S. are on the rise. According to the latest information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 5,190 deaths from workplace trauma in 2016, an increase of seven percent from 2015 and a 12 percent increase since 2012.

In reply to the listing, Melanie Etches, PR manager for Amazon out of London, emailed Insurance Journal to tout the company's workplace safety program. She said the company integrates safety metrics and audits into operational meetings, new hire orientation, process training and new process development. insurancejournal.com

MLK's daughter calls for Waffle House boycott after black man choked, slammed by NC cop
Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter Bernice King, CEO of The King Center, reacted to a News & Observer report of a black man choked and slammed by a North Carolina police officer at a Waffle House by calling for people to avoid the restaurant chain until it commits to employee training and other changes.

In a tweet on Thursday, King wrote: "Family, let's stay out of Waffle House until the corporate office legitimately and seriously commits to 1. discussion on racism, 2. employee training and 3. other plans to change; and until they start to implement changes." newsobserver.com

Starbucks changes bathroom policy following racial firestorm
Starbucks is opening its bathrooms to everyone regardless of whether they've bought anything following the arrest last month of two African American men at one of its coffee shops in Philadelphia.

Chairman Howard Schultz says he doesn't want the company to become a public bathroom, but feels employees can make the "right decision a hundred percent of the time," if that choice is removed at the store level. cnbc.com

Nike co-founder Phil Knight is "proud" of how company dealt with harassment allegations
Nike was recently embroiled in a workplace scandal amid allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. At least six top executives resigned or left the company thereafter. Asked about the allegations and how the company is doing, Knight said, "Overall how Nike is doing is, we're doing fine."

"Sales and earnings are growing, but we did have a shock within the last couple of months that certain number of managers were bullying employees and it was a shock to me personally and to a lot of the upper management. And it's disappointing as well as a shock. It's very disappointing, but I am proud of the company and the way it responded to the problems that it saw and it's basically cleaning house for those people," Knight said. cbsnews.com

ISIS Movie Stunt Doesn't Go Over Well
Tehran, Iran: Actors Storm Crowded Mall Dressed as ISIS Militants
The plan was to harmlessly promote "Damascus Time," a new film about an Iranian father and son who travel to Syria to deliver humanitarian supplies and then get kidnapped by the Islamic State. Actors dressed as Islamic State fighters would show up at a large shopping mall and cinema in Tehran on Monday night and jovially pose for photos with passersby.

Then the actors decided to take the publicity stunt to the next level. Wielding fake guns and swords, they stormed the mall, shouted "Allahu akbar" and pretended to wage an attack. One even rode through the building on a horse.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't go over well.

While some shoppers realized it was prank and took selfies with the group, others reportedly screamed and ran for their lives, thinking the mall was really under attack.

The spoof was supposed to garner popular interest for "Damascus Time," but it resulted in so much backlash on Iranian social media that director Ebrahim Hatamikia had to apologize. washingtonpost.com ifpnews.com

The ICE-Men Cometh
C-Stores Beware - Easiest Place in Retail to Find Illegal Workers

In case you missed it, when it comes to immigration enforcement, there's a new sheriff in town and his name is Donald Trump. Say what you want about his administration but, when it comes to its approach to immigration, it has been very out front, very outspoken and very consistent.

For convenience store owners and operators, there should be no lack of clarity about the enforcement environment in which we currently find ourselves.

Recently, I came across an excellent guide from NACS, the Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing, that gives operators some good advice on how to prepare and inoculate themselves. I have included the link here.

If operators are going to successfully defend themselves against enforcement agencies or immigration lawyers looking to make a quick dollar, they are going to have to demonstrate that they have done everything reasonable in their power to identify undocumented workers.

We know ICE is coming. We know what they are looking for. We know it's not a question of if, but when. Operators would be smart not to roll the dice on this one and bet it will never be their turn. csnews.com

Complying with Form I-9: Don't Get Caught Out
Free Step-by-Step Guide: Avoid Form I-9 Pitfalls in this Era of Increased Enforcement


Changing Paradigm Shift of Security Leadership
By: Chad Ross, Manager, Industry Relations, Food Marketing Institute
We are continuously reminded of the unprecedented change that's occurring not only in the food retail space but in the entire retail sector. Technological advancements have quite literally put more information than ever at our fingertips.

With an abundance of information available, food retailers have a heightened awareness of new and evolving terrorism threats, workplace violence, and shifts in workplace dynamics. In order for companies to prepare themselves to protect their people, their products and their customers, it's important for retailers to continuously examine and edit their crisis continuity plans and the heeded leadership they have in place to keep their stores running in times of crisis.

In 2017, the industry was forced to reexamine their procedures and crisis continuity plans to make sure that it covers everything from natural disasters to single store threats that could have national effects on the brand. With food retailing being a pillar of the community we need to make sure that we are not only prepared to handle whatever crisis comes our way but we are able to assist our communities.

At NRF PROTECT 2018, the magnifying glass is turned inward to examine crisis continuity planning in food retail and how grocers can be more prepared to handle emergencies and protect their company's assets. Rod Wheeler, founder and CEO of The Global Defense Institute, will discuss the opportunities that exist in the changing paradigm of security leadership.

Attend "Food Retailer Breakfast: The Changing Paradigm Shift of Security Leadership" on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at NRF Protect in Dallas Texas. There is no cost to attend the Food Retailer Breakfast, but attendees must be retailers and registered with a full conference pass at NRF PROTECT 2018.  Register here

Cincinnati, OH: Who's minding the store when it comes to retail food stamp fraud?
Retail food stamp fraud has occurred for years in Ohio without the federal government knowing about it, the I-Team has discovered.  The Department of Agriculture says it has a high-tech network that can identify possible fraud, then alert investigators. But an I-Team investigation revealed that federal agents in Ohio have learned about years of fraud from informants, not the taxpayer-funded system designed to alert them.  Authorities said the fraud at U.S. Beef amounted to $906,000. On a national scale, food stamp fraud documented by the federal government totaled $560 million last year and $592 million in 2016 - out of $63 billion in benefits. wcpo.com

Madison, MS: All retail locations required to have external security cameras
In 2017, a new ordinance went into effect in Madison requiring external security cameras on the buildings of retail locations. Existing business were given until March 2018 to come into compliance. The idea for the ordinance came after the police department found that a lot of businesses did not have any external cameras in the entry areas or parking areas. They also found that the businesses that did have cameras didn't know how to work the system or the cameras had stopped working. msbusiness.com

National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial to Honor 360 Fallen Officers
On May 13, 2018 at 8:00 pm at the National Mall, 360 fallen law enforcement officers will be honored during the 30th Annual Candlelight Vigil as part of National Police Week 2018.

There is no bigger crisis in law enforcement than an officer who has been killed in the line of duty. That crisis repeated itself 129 times in 2017. This number represents a ten percent decrease over 2016 when 143 officers died in the line of duty. officer.com

Two vendors now sell iPhone cracking technology - and police are buying
Law enforcement interest in iPhone encryption-cracking hardware from two new companies is a strong indication that Apple no longer claims the mobile security high ground.

In February, reports surfaced that an Israel-based technology vendor, Cellebrite, had discovered a way to unlock encrypted iPhones running iOS 11 and were marketing the product to law enforcement and private forensics firms around the world. According to a police warrant obtained by Forbes, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had been testing the technology.

Shortly thereafter, Grayshift emerged as a different company that had developed an inexpensive black box that could unlock any iPhone; this week Motherboard reported that local and regional U.S. police departments and the federal government have been purchasing the technology. computerworld.com

New iPhone feature could make it tougher for cops to unlock criminals' devices
There's a new twist in the long-running cat-and-mouse game between Apple and law enforcement. A new feature, which first emerged in an early beta version of the company's iPhone and iPad software but never made it to market, has emerged again in the latest beta.

Law enforcement have long complained that they need access to locked devices to help with their investigations. But security experts have decried efforts by the government to lobby for backdoors, arguing that hackers could also get that same access and use it for their own gain. zdnet.com

Mother's Day spending will reach $23.1B

Fighting ORC With AI
Shrinking The Shrinkage Problem With Biometric Network Surveillance

A guy walks into a pharmacy, does a lap and walks out without buying anything. An hour later, he walks into another location of the same chain pharmacy two miles down the road and does the same lap, again not buying anything. And in another hour, he does the same routine at yet another location two more miles down the road, still buying nothing.

That's pretty suspicious, but the individual pharmacies involved are unlikely to recognize it as such, even if they review security footage. After all, the guy was only there for five minutes, and he didn't go back to the same pharmacy throughout the day, so employees at the second and third location don't get the benefit of anything that may have been observed by employees at the first.

Otto Lowe, CFO at DeepCam, says that's why network intelligence is needed: a video surveillance system across chain retailers that doesn't just catch suspicious activity in one store at a time, but identifies patterns, trends and repeat actors across multiple locations and large populations.

Lowe listed two scenarios where a security network can help chain retailers.

First, in the event of organized retail crime: This isn't just an individual with sticky fingers, he said. These are gangs that have shopping lists and know what they can resell quickly for cash. Gangs will systematically hit chain retailers over and over in different locations.

With traditional video surveillance, each store discovers the faces and intentions of that gang when it comes through their doors. But with network surveillance, every store in a geographic area can have that intelligence as soon as the gang hits store No. 1 - and with biometric identification driven by artificial intelligence, the system itself can raise the red flag when gang members enter another store, rather than relying on human managers and cashiers to recognize criminals.

In short, there is a network benefit once a face is known, said Lowe, and from there, the retailer can take action according to company policies. Facial recognition and artificial intelligence work together across the network to identify potential issues and bring them to the chain's attention early. pymnts.com

Amazon Go's 'Just Walk Out' Technology an Early Example of AI Security
Imagine durable and agile robots being equipped with advanced algorithms, processing and intelligent sensors. It opens up a vast new security landscape in which human threat is minimized and remote locations and perspectives heretofore inaccessible become available for real-time analysis, evaluation, and response.

Eventually, as the devices become more refined and prices plummet, the applications will be vast. In the meantime, varieties of AI are likely to infiltrate most aspects of our daily lives.

"Machines taking over low-cognitive tasks will be the big trend for years," says Milestone Systems' Keven Marier. "Amazon is applying this to retail stores where the checkout concept is being replaced by customers just walking out. This type of thinking and tool creation is in its earliest infancy but will continue to address problems and add value. The intelligent industrial revolution is happening all around us. It will be very disruptive, but also insightful and liberating." securitysales.com

'A Double-Edged Sword'
Hackers Will Tap Into Artificial Intelligence, Too

Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as the frontrunner in the battle against cyber crime. With autonomous systems, businesses are in a far better place to strengthen and reinforce cyber security strategies. But does this technology pose challenges of its own?

James Maude, senior security engineer at endpoint security specialist Avecto, believes the use of AI in cyber security is a double-edged sword. While businesses will see the benefits, criminals will also tap into this technology to automate attacks. He says businesses could "see criminals and nation states using innovative AI attacks to do serious harm to everything from companies' reputations to critical infrastructure".

Andy Powell, vice-president and head of cyber security at professional services firm Capgemini, agrees that criminals could turn to AI to drive their attacks. "From a hacker's point of view, AI will power attacks, from automatically generating and launching distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks via the internet of things (IoT), to rapidly analysing code and system weaknesses before inserting exploitation methods," he says. computerweekly.com

Malley's Chocolates' website hacked, 3,400 online customers' card info breached

The data breach affected consumers who made purchases online, not those who bought items in one of Malley's 23 Northeast Ohio stores. cleveland.com

Amazon grounded as feds let Apple, Fedex drones fly
The U.S. Department of Transportation this week unveiled 10 locations throughout the U.S. that have received federal approval for airborne drone projects to be operated by Apple, Uber, FedEx and others, though Amazon and other retail-specific drone delivery operators were noticeably absent from the list of project participants.

Amazon reportedly applied for federal approval for a project that would have allowed it to deliver packages in New York City via drone, and issued a statement calling the government's decision not to approve its application "unfortunate," according to The Guardian. retaildive.com

8 Ways Brands Can Fight Counterfeits in China
Cracking down on counterfeits can be difficult for luxury brands. Copying techniques have improved so much that some counterfeits now look just like the originals, while online sales make fakes even harder to spot. Large counterfeit manufacturers and distributors keep a low profile. Culprits out in the open are small vendors far down the food chain. They sell counterfeits on e-commerce and social media platforms that do not check whether vendors and merchandise are kosher or (if they do) can be fooled by falsified documents. Chinese law enforcement is not much help either. Vendors who get caught are not punished severely and may soon try again.

But although counterfeits are impossible to suppress altogether, there are pragmatic steps luxury or designer brands can take to guard their interest effectively. Here are eight ways to start:

1. Register your trademark in China at once
2. Get a good local lawyer
3. Open your own official web store supported by Chinese online payment tools
4. Join forces with the government and e-commerce firms
5. Invest in anti-counterfeit technology
6. Update your model fast-every month if you can
7. Repay counterfeiters in kind
8. Remember that counterfeiting is a luxury problem for successful brands hbr.org

CNP fraud spikes during the holiday shopping season
Here are 3 things you can do now to protect your holiday sales

CNP fraud spikes during every holiday season, and 2018 will be no exception. Before it's too late, online retailers need to get prepared in their fraud prevention efforts. Here are three steps that online sellers can take right now to ensure that they are ready and able to protect themselves when sales spike during the holidays.

1. Know your holiday-season CNP fraud benchmarks
Look at your holiday season transaction data from years past to find your typical holiday season chargeback ratio and false decline rate. Your historical holiday season chargeback ratio and false decline rates can show whether your business sees an increase in completed fraud during the holidays, turns away good customers due to overly rigid screening, or finds the right balance.

2. Audit your in-house fraud prevention practices
Ask these questions to identify areas where your business can improve its anti-fraud processes.

Does your business follow the best practices recommended by your payment processor and the major card companies, such as collecting IP addresses as well as address and CVV data? Does your checkout process give fraudsters too much freedom to test stolen card data? Does your fraud prevention program cause false declines? Is your fraud prevention program tailored properly for each channel? What's your shipping protocol? How's your fraud data management?

3. Keep an eye on trending types of fraud
Fraudsters are always looking for new ways to beat prevention efforts, and these are some of the attack types we're seeing more of lately. Package rerouting lets thieves use a valid (stolen) shipping address to get through transaction screening.

Account takeover fraud against online retailers is also on the rise. According to the ThreatMetrix Q4 2017 Cybercrime Report, retail account takeover attacks rose by 17% in the last three months of 2017, an "all-time high."

Now is the time to study your data to benchmark and improve your store's transaction-data collection practices, shipping protocols, internal negative file maintenance, and customer service training. csoonline.com

Scottsbluff, NE: Charges dismissed against man charged with 2016 Safeway robbery
Charges have been dismissed against a man accused in the February 2016 robbery of the pharmacy at the Scottsbluff Safeway store. The robbery at the Safeway occurred the evening of Feb. 9, 2016. Police said, a man jumped over the counter at the pharmacy, demanded painkillers and a pharmacist gave him an unknown amount of drugs. The man jumped back over the counter and fled the store. In September 2017, authorities charged Eric Leach on charges of robbery. Lesley Leach (suspect's Sister), had told police that her brother had planned to rob the pharmacy. Another informant had also allegedly provided information that tied Leach to the robbery. However, on Wednesday, Scotts Bluff County Attorney Dave Eubanks dismissed the case. Eubanks said that the prosecution didn't have enough evidence in the case. Some evidence in the case, including DNA evidence, would make it difficult to prove the case against Leach. starherald.com
