Terrorists strike mall in Kenya
 Islamist
gunmen hold hostages in Kenya siege, 68 dead Islamist
militants were holding hostages on Sunday at a
shopping mall in Nairobi, where at least 68
people were killed in an attack by Somalia's al
Shabaab group. The al Qaeda-affiliated movement
demanded Kenya pull troops out of its northern
neighbor, where they have pushed al Shabaab onto
the defensive over the past two years. There was
no word of other demands from the dozen or so
gunmen - and possibly women - said to be
barricaded in a supermarket with an unknown
number of captives. One Kenyan TV station said
30 were still being held, nearly 36 hours after
Saturday's devastating assault. Brief volleys of
gunfire and a blast interrupted a day of
stalemate. A Reuters correspondent saw security
personnel on the move and, as dusk closed in,
two helicopters swooped low over the Westgate
shopping center, which has several Israeli-owned
outlets and is frequented by prosperous Kenyans
and foreigners. (Source

FBI investigates American ties to al Shabab
militants
The United States intelligence community and FBI
are aggressively investigating the involvement
of Americans recruited by Al Qaeda-linked
militant group, al-Shabab, in Nairobi shopping
mall massacre on Saturday. President Barack
Obama called his counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta to
assure full support to bring al-Shabab to
justice. The White House confirmed that Kenyans
and foreigners, including French, Canadians and
Chinese, were among those who succumbed to
injuries. Kenyatta's nephew and the nephew's
fiancée are also among the dead.

T.J. Maxx finally lets its customers shop online. Second
time’s a charm? With Ross saying we can't make money online
- Wow what a
prospective - With two strong LP Teams “We
view it as a strategy in offense. Our retail chains have
been extremely successful without e-commerce other than a
small website in the UK and in the face of growth in online
sales throughout retail.” said TJX's CEO Carol Meyrowitz on
a call in August. TJX’s smaller online rival Ross Stores
Inc. on the other hand, doesn’t have plans to go online with
its lower selling price position. “It’s very hard for an
off-price business to make money, particularly at lower
price points and at price points that we operate at with the
cost of shipping, the cost of marketing, taking returns,
etc.,” Ross CEO Michael Balmuth has said. “The economics
just don’t add up.” Editors note: How can a retailer afford
not to be online? Sounds like the last of the Mohicans. But
these two companies really haven't had to worry about sales
growth or omni-channeling because the consumer just herded
to the off-pricer's, even more so once the recession
started. Of interesting note is that the during the
recession and even virtually to this day these two companies
have been neck and neck in sales increases. Averaging 5% to
7% quarterly increases since the Daily started over 3 years
ago. While so many have struggled these two were quietly
smiling all the way to the bank. Both of which have
extremely strong Loss Prevention programs delivering
exceptional shrinkage results and offering a level of
security for the LP teams virtually unmatched in the
industry as it relates to job stability and stock growth.
With Ross Stores looking a little like the Target Stores
alumni group and TJX with a very strong ORC team, hiring top
level executives even at the Regional level. A feat that's
almost impossible to pull of. But they have because of their
exceptional leadership team, job stability, and stock
growth. And what's even more exceptional is the Ross Stores
CEO has twice pointed out to wall street that their
exceptional shrinkage performance has been a significant
contributor to their profit numbers over the last few years.
A comment you rarely see being made to wall street. But
leave it to say that these two LP models are excellent
examples of well run organizations that deliver the results.

Chase Bank - Fraudulent practices gets them $309M + $20M
more in refunds and fines The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau ordered Chase and JPMorgan Chase to
refund $309 million in charges to more than 2.1 million
people and pay a $20 million fine for illegal credit card
practices And yet, that may not change much. Chase charged
people for services like “identity theft protection” and
“fraud monitoring.” These services — for which customers
paid between roughly $8 to $12 a month, sometimes for years
— were not always necessary. In some cases, the CFPB says
Chase didn’t even perform the service it claimed to be
advertising. Some customers found themselves signed up for
these services even though they hadn’t given the company
permission to enroll them. Sometimes those monthly charges
bumped customers over their credit limits, so Chase slapped
them with fees for that, too. (Source

Gang exploits both physical and system security during bank
robbery
Police arrest eight men in connection with a reported
$2-million robbery at Barclays Bank, accomplished by
compromising both physical and system security. The
Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) arrested
eight men, aged between 24 and 27, on Thursday, in
connection to a robbery from the Swiss Cottage branch of
Barclays Bank in April. According to police statements, the
theft resulted in the loss of 1.3 million pounds ($2
million), but the bank managed to recover most of the stolen
funds. In an unusual twist, one rarely mentioned or seen
when it comes to financially motivated cybercrime, the men
allegedly mixed physical penetration and social engineering
with system compromise in order to carry out their crimes.
When Barclays reported the robbery in April, police
investigated the incident, and conducted a search of the
Swiss Cottage Barclays branch in North London. During this
search, investigators discovered a KVM switch attached to a
3G router hooked up to one of the branch computers. "It was
later established that the previous day a male purporting to
be an IT engineer had gained access to the branch, falsely
stating he was there to fix computers. He had then deployed
the KVM device. This enabled the criminal group to remotely
transfer monies to predetermined back accounts under the
control of the criminal group," a PCeU statement explained.
Editors Note: The merger of the two worlds is happening and
guess who are the ones making it happen. The criminals. Now
it's time for our two worlds, the Loss Prevention community
and the IT Security worlds to start merging if they haven't
already in your retailer. One can't perform actually without
the other and how long have you been chasing online
criminals already? Just read today's Thought Challenge and
see for yourself what one of your colleagues is already
talking about. Just a thought. (Source

Military’s background check system failed to block gunman
with a history of arrests The military’s
beleaguered background-check system failed to block Navy
Yard gunman Aaron Alexis from an all-access pass to a
half-dozen military installations, despite a history of
arrests for shooting episodes and disorderly conduct. The
revelations about Alexis’s troubled past — and his ability
to pass the government’s security-check system — prompted
multiple examinations last Tuesday into how background
checks are conducted and how long a security clearance can
last without review. The system was already under scrutiny
after leaks of classified documents by fugitive National
Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

Dude, where’s my security ROI?
There are very specific investments that can be made in
security that reduce risk and are also measurable in terms
of dollars. Security isn’t always that quantitative. In fact
it is downright qualitative and often pushes us to measure
things more subjectively in terms of ROSI or return on
security investment: risk. This isn’t to say that ROSI or
measuring security in qualitative terms isn’t valuable. Of
course it is; we want to stop bad things and we want to know
that our security solutions are working effectively. But it
is worth contrasting these two approaches to better
understand how ROSI and ROI can be leveraged when trying to
justify budget, align the security budget with business
priorities, and do all this while still focusing on risk
reduction. (Source

49% plan to launch holiday sales and marketing campaigns
before Halloween with six fewer shopping days
Faced with a shorter holiday shopping season, many retailers
began prepping their November and December sales strategies
this summer. There are only 25 days this year between the
day after Thanksgiving or Black Friday (Nov. 29) and
Christmas, compared with 31 days in 2012. What’s more,

Olive Garden parent Darden reports 37% profit drop,
corporate workforce cuts, COO departure Darden
can't seem to convince more people to sit down for a meal at
its Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants. Sales down at
its two biggest chains despite ongoing attempts to revamp
their menus with lighter, cheaper options. Darden said it
would slash costs to prepare for future challenges, in part
by reducing its workforce. Darden Restaurants Inc. struggles
to keep pace with a shifting industry, with more people
heading to chains such as Chipotle that offer food perceived
to be higher quality at relatively cheaper prices. To cut
spending by about $50 million a year, the company says it's
reducing its workforce by between 80 to 85 positions, as
well as making program cuts. A representative said the
personnel cuts will not be at the restaurant level.

MasterCard Study Reveals the Rapidly Growing Cashless

Australia, and the Netherlands were some of the countries
where cashless payments are nearly ubiquitous and they use
more modern forms of payment such as EMV chip, mobile and

 Thousands
of Bangladesh garment factory workers take to the streets;
200 factories shut down Authorities in Bangladesh
on Saturday ordered temporary shutdown of nearly 300 garment
factories as several thousand workers took to the streets
demanding higher wages. Officials and reports said the
management of garment factories shut production at suburban
Gazipur and Savar areas at the outskirts of the capital
Dhaka after over 10,000 workers came out of the units and
blocked transport movement on Dhaka-Tangail Highway. The
workers unions have been demanding the minimum monthly wage
of $100 or 8,114 Takas while the factory owners said they
could raise the amount to as high as 3,600 Takas or 20 per
cent due to gloomy global economic conditions as government
panel is currently examining the wage structures. Bangladesh
is the world’s second-largest garment exporter with over
4,500 factories which account for nearly 80 per cent of the
country’s $27 billion annual exports paying a worker the
minimum wage of $38 a month. (Source

 Does Your Information Technology (IT) Highway and Loss
Prevention Highway Intersect?
By Bill Napier, LPC, Board of Directors Loss Prevention
Foundation
When was the last time you spent some quality time on
strategic planning for your IT connected programs? This
could include IP video equipment, video storage, video
analytics software, and integrated programs such as burglar
alarms, card access or any loss prevention tools that reside
on your network. Taking it one step further was your Chief
Information Officer (CIO) at the table for the planning?
If you are like me you might have just taken a deep gulp.
Here is a short self-audit to determine if you should bring
your CIO to the table for your next strategy session.
| • |
Do any loss prevention tools
reside on the network? |
| • |
Are you planning to migrate
to an IP video solution? |
| • |
Do you have current analog
equipment that you intend to migrate to IP
storage? |
| • |
Do you have a third party
integrator that accesses your network? |
| • |
Do you store images or data
on the cloud that is accessed across your
network? |
| • |
Do you need a seat at the IT
enterprise platform planning committee? |
| • |
Is there room for improvement
on the equipment lifecycle plan? |
| • |
Do you see the IT team
getting more involved with equipment
specifications, buying decisions, systems health
monitoring? |
| • |
Does network security have
protocol that must be followed for data storage
and retrieval? |
| • |
Have business partners from
other departments asked for data that you have
such as video images, video analytics or door
access reports? |
| • |
Do you need to facilitate a
meeting with your loss prevention equipment
solution providers and the CIO? |
 Answering
yes to any of the self-audit questions should be a call to
work on the partnership with your CIO. It is no secret that
technology is moving quickly. This means the old analog
equipment that ran separately on a DVR or on a desktop in
your office could soon reside on the company server as data.
As more and more data is housed on the company server it
makes sense to partner with the CIO who is in charge of how
much storage is used. In addition the CIO is in charge of
bandwidth.
If the CIO does not know your requirements for storage and
bandwidth in order to forecast needs you could find yourself
competing with several other departments for resources at
the last minute.
Here are some suggested next steps to get started on the
intersection of the loss prevention highway and the
information technology highway.
| • |
Get your loss prevention
leadership team together and hammer out your
loss prevention equipment vision for the next
five years. |
| • |
Dive into the details of
migration from old technology, equipment
lifecycle, storage and bandwidth requirements,
as well as who else in your organizations needs
the data from your equipment. |
| • |
Facilitate a meeting with
your IT leadership team to share your loss
prevention equipment vision. |
| • |
Bring your loss prevention
equipment solution providers together for a
summit and share your equipment vision, be sure
the CIO attends. |
| • |
Volunteer to get involved in
the IT vision, enterprise IT platform and data
storage planning. |
Don’t wait for the CIO to find you, find the CIO.

Entitlement-Minded Workers Can Be a
Major Headache for Managers
Those employees who have a sense of unjustified entitlement
are more likely to say that their bosses didn't treat them
well according to new research from the University of New
Hampshire. The research shows that those employees who
have high levels of entitlement were more likely to report
higher levels of abuse from their managers. These employees
who exhibit "psychological entitlement" have
unjustified positive perceptions of themselves and are
reluctant to accept criticism that would undermine their
high views of themselves explains Paul Harvey, associate
professor at the University of New Hampshire.

Knife-waving suspect arrest in the Rite-Aid pharmacy
robbery in Kittery, Maine
Police arrested a Greenland, N.H., man Saturday night
after he allegedly demanded oxycodone from a pharmacist
at knifepoint and then locked himself in the bathroom,
according to Police Chief Theodor G. Short. Police said
Robert Pecora, 25, “displayed a knife,” and then passed
a note to a pharmacist at the Shapleigh Road Rite-Aid
shortly after 7 p.m.. When police arrived, the store
manager gave them a description of the robber and said
he might still be in the store. Pecora, who had locked
himself in the men's bathroom, agreed to unlock the door
for police after a short time, according to police.
“Pecora indicated that he had ingested several of the
pills and was attempting to commit suicide,” according
to Short. Short said Kittery police contacted the FBI,
and because of the amount of pills taken and the fact
the suspect robbed the store at knifepoint, Pecora may
face federal charges, too. (Source

of Justice's financial fraud section hitting Safeway
stores on at least 17 occasions and stealing Rogaine,
razors and other health and beauty merchandise, and
selling it on Amazon's site or under the moniker
"eaglecap2" on eBay. Informants made purchases from the
sites, and the packages sent to them identified
Armstrong as the seller on the shipping labels. In one
e-mail communication with a buyer, Armstrong wrote that
she buys low and sells high: "It's the American way,
thank God," she wrote. Also advertised on her sites were
DVDs, toys and children's books, but the best-selling
item appeared to be Rogaine. Stores targeted were in
Salem, Keizer, Albany, Lebanon and Sweet Home,
investigators said. When law enforcement raided her
Salem home with a search warrant Thursday, they seized
several computers. One was on at the time, and
investigators said they discovered a recent Google
search on it: "Find my nearest Safeway.'' Armstrong was
previously convicted of first-degree theft in Marion
County in November 2012. Can you imagine the gifts under

DON'T GET CAUGHT IN A JAM! EAS PEDESTALS
WITH
ANTI-JAMMER ONLY FROM WG With
recent news of gypsy ORC crews running rampant in
Toronto and spreading into the United States, it is more
important than ever for retailers to not only have the
manpower to prevent theft, but the proper tools to
accomplish their goals. EAS tags working in conjunction
with an EAS system is a fine first start, but today's
shoplifters are smarter, more organized, and more
technologically advanced than they ever have been. The
recent Toronto crews utilized EAS jammer devices to
block EAS fields from pedestals and other systems,
allowing them to stroll through a system worry-free.
WG Security Products, the company that brought you the
revolutionary Seal Tag for wardrobing prevention, also
provides the highest quality EAS systems in the industry
today. Our line of pedestals and concealed systems all
feature sophisticated anti-jammer technology. WG systems
are designed to detect any disruption of their EAS
field, and will alarm in these instances. All of WG's
signature systems; Ad Guard, Sky Guard, Door Guard,
Premier Guard, and Floor Guard come equipped with this
advanced technology. With WG, retailers can stay one
step ahead of the shoplifters. Visit
www.wgspi.com for
more information on our technologically innovative
solutions.

As a "service
provider" one must always remember the golden rule: that the
customer is always right. Now, we all know that isn't the
case, but if we approach it that way the barriers or silos
tend to disappear. At the end of the day, Loss Prevention is
a service and, as such, we have internal and external
customers. Those customers deserve best in class service and
it's a wise person that always aims at delivering such
service that the customers become Raving Fans, which is
probably the simplest and most profound business book I've
ever read by Ken Blanchard. Pick up a copy. It only takes 2
hours to read and just might change your perspective on
creating "Raving Fans." Because those Fans can have an
impact on your career long term, I assure you!
