News Poll: How do security companies prepare for
natural disasters?
Industry Calls For Coordinated Effort
In August and September large weather events-Hurricanes Harvey and Irma-made
landfall in the United States; Security Systems News asked its readers how they
prepare ahead of natural disasters, and what can be done for those affected.
Sixty-three percent of poll respondents said they had customers impacted by
recent storms-19 percent of which said it affected "Only a few" of their
subscribers. Thirty-eight percent said that there customer base was not
affected.
When it comes to preparation for events like hurricanes, 33 percent of
respondents said that their company contacts potentially affected customers.
Fifty-three percent said they increase staffing to deal with more alarm traffic.
Thirteen percent said they provide their customers with safety and preparedness
tips.
Most respondents-56 percent-said that a coordinated industry effort would be
the best way to help those impacted by weather events. Direct support and
volunteering from the industry would help the most, according to 44 percent.
Given the option, zero respondents pointed to raising awareness and fundraising
as the most beneficial channel for helping those that need it.

TMA holds 2017 Annual Meeting in Arizona
The Monitoring Association held its 2017 annual meeting here, Oct. 7-11, the
first annual meeting since changing the association's name from CSAA.

Pam Petrow, President and CEO of Vector Security and President of TMA,
began the general membership meeting by addressing that it would be her last
meeting as TMA president and thanked everyone for the opportunity, including the
TMA board and staff. Petrow also acknowledged Ivan Spector, president of
Sentinel Alarm and TMA's president as of the close of the 2017 Annual Meeting.
Jay Hauhn the association's executive director addressed TMA's ASAP to PSAP
program, which allows alarm information to be transmitted digitally from a
monitoring center to a 911 center. "We really are now taking off," Hauhn
said, pointing out that when one PSAP goes online, surrounding areas see the
benefits of the program and become interested.

Officials say ORC rings growing in South
Mississippi
"It plays a huge role because, in today's society, people are traveling," said
Maj. Chris DeBack with the Biloxi Police Department. "And on any social media
site, you have friends all over the state all over the region. When people share
it, it goes much further than us looking around the local area."
Wendy Swetman with Swetman Securities has been on the front lines of loss
prevention for decades. "Shoplifting has definitely increased. With the
retailers increasing and certainly our I-10 corridor, there are rings of these
shoplifters that work together," Swetman said. "They figure out ways the
circumvent security measures inside the stores."
And what's even more concerning is that thieves have become more violent with
sales associates.
The Promenade is particularly susceptible. Shoplifting crime being reported more
because it's easier. The D'Iberville Police Department has a specialized Retail
Crime Unit, made of two full-time officers.
"We have retailers that work with us on social media that notify us immediately
when there's a suspicious person in the store and so now we know more about
these rings because it's brought to light," said Lt. Shannon Nobles with the
D'Iberville Police Department. "They communicate with each other and so it kind
of makes a stronger front to fight this battle."

UK: "Pop-up cells" to reduce in-store violence
Assaults against loss prevention workers have been increasing year on year. The
British Retail Consortium crime survey found that violence and aggression
against retail employees rose 40% in 2016. Most of that aggression occurs when
shoplifting suspects are detained. The risks involved in that process can be
largely managed out, say the makers of the new 'Safer Detention Unit', or SDU.
Marketed by the Athelney Group in the UK, the SDU is a flat pack, but secure,
"pop-up" cell designed for installation in stores and other environments.
Suspects can be held there safely and securely, the company says, pending a
decision to release them, or the arrival of the police. The cell is about the
size of one of the UK's old-fashioned phone boxes and can be assembled in a few
minutes.

Nike in big retail shakeup - Dropping Mediocre
Retailers
Speaking on Wednesday at Nike's annual Investor Day event, CEO Mark Parker said
the company plans to shrink the number of retailers it works with from 30,000
globally to just 40, reported Portland Business Journal. The company
did not release the roster of the 40 select retail partners.
The change comes as Nike prioritizes direct-to-consumer sales through its

U.S.: 2017 just set the all-time record for store
closings
More store closings have been announced in 2017 than any other year on record.
Since January 1, retailers have announced plans to shutter more than 6,700
stores in the U.S., according to Fung Global Retail & Technology, a retail think
tank.
That beats the previous all-time high of 6,163 store closings, which hit in 2008
amid the financial meltdown, according to Credit Suisse (CS). Walgreens
helped vault this year's tally to a new high when it said Wednesday that it
plans to close about 600 locations.
Other chains that have announced big batches of store closings this year include
Kmart, Sears,
JCPenney,
Ann Taylor,
Gap, Banana Republic,
Gymboree,
Teavana,
Michael Kors,
Bebe,
Perfumania,
The Limited, and
Staples.
By and large, analysts expect this year's final total to be dismal. As many as
8,600 brick-and-mortar stores are expected to close this year, Credit Suisse
said in an April research report. At least
300 retailers have filed for bankruptcy so far this year, according to
figures released by BankruptcyData.com in June.

Across The Pond - We're Not Alone
UK: Retail job cuts - highest since records began
Retail job cuts have hit their highest rate since records began nearly a decade
ago thanks in part to automation and wage increases.
Just yesterday fast fashion retailer New Look announced nearly 400 job cuts,
and last week Sainsbury's revealed plans to cut thousands. Retailers across
the country are undertaking sweeping restructures of their operations in
attempts to avoid passing rising costs onto customers.
A continual rise in minimum wage, pension schemes and training levies, alongside
rising business rates and import costs have all contributed to the financial
pressure which is affecting jobs in the retail sector, which represents around
10 per cent of the country. retailgazette.co.uk
NIOSH Launches Center for Occupational Robotics
Research
"Knowledge gap related to robotics and worker safety and health"
In an effort to evaluate the possible advantages and hazards of
robot workers, as well as foster safe robot-human interactions.
According to NIOSH, 61 robot-related worker deaths occurred between 1992 and
2015. Technology has evolved throughout that time, placing more robots in
the workplace - some of which work alongside humans rather than in isolation.
"Robots working collaboratively with humans present a new workplace risk profile
that is not yet well understood," NIOSH Director John Howard said in an Oct. 16
press release. "Not only is this a new field for safety and health
professionals, little government guidance or policy exists regarding the safe
integration of robots into the workplace. NIOSH's Center for Occupational
Robotics Research will provide the scientific leadership needed to ensure human
workers are protected."

eBay Spotlight: Hawken Averett
Supervisor of eBay's North American GAP
& Criminal Investigations Team
Hawken
is the Supervisor of eBay's North America Global Asset Protection (GAP) &
Criminal Investigations Team. He has been with eBay since 2007 and joined
the GAP team as an Investigator in October 2010. Prior to joining GAP,
Hawken worked in various roles throughout the Trust & Safety side of the
business for both Seller & Buyer risk. Prior experience includes training
and development in new and tenured employees, policy creation &
implementation, risk model & rules development, and working on several pilot
programs for a host of issues and projects including collusion fraud, buyer
fraud, and the original PROACT program pilot, which has since developed into
a recognized world-class representation of E-Commerce partnering with
Retailers.
Throughout his time in GAP, Hawken has sought out opportunities to build his
skills through various trainings and certifications, some of which include:
Six Sigma Lean, The Loss Prevention Foundation's LPQ Certification, and
Wicklander-Zulawski's Interview & interrogation Techniques. In addition to
external courses and training, Hawken has pushed himself and his team to
self-learn where available and advance their knowledge and skillsets through
cross-training with internal teams on Data and Analytics driven products,
such as Structured Query Language (SQL), Tableau, and Excel.
Hawken thoroughly enjoys the partnership and networking opportunities the
GAP team has offered, and capitalizes whenever the business allows by
attending Conferences, ORCAs, and events, and occasionally presenting or
conducting trainings. Most recently, Hawken joined the Board of Advisors of
the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC), which is recognized industry
wide for its contributions and efforts to support Loss Prevention with
evidence based research and studies. In his personal time, Hawken enjoys
making homebrew beer, snowboarding, and travel with family and friends. He
and his wife of 2 years just had their first child in August 2017, a girl,
who has already taught them that sleep is most certainly a privilege, and
not a right!

Simple Security Systems:
What Happens in the Event of a Natural Disaster
Severe weather and natural disasters are becoming more prevalent throughout the
year. Weather reports on tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, and the
like, can lead to anxiety with your safety and security. Evacuations and
resulting disasters can also cause considerable damage to businesses. Once these
events happen, who can access your business afterward? Let's look at some
not-so-obvious ways businesses and their stakeholders can be prepared to better
safeguard assets against the risks associated with such events.
Natural
Disasters and Key Control
In the event of a natural disaster, do you have a disaster recovery plan? Do you
know who to call and how they can help? When things beyond your control happen,
you can't prevent them from having a serious impact on your business, however,
it is possible to minimize the risks and react quickly.
At InstaKey, we have worked with many clients throughout the country to prepare
them and their businesses in case of a disaster. By tracking keys to key
holders, we know who can access your business during an outage or evacuation. In
worst case scenarios, evacuations relocate your authorized personnel who have
keys, so how to do you get in? Would you burglarize your own business to gain
access? These critical security issues are not just safety concerns; but they're
also financial risks.
It's best to be prepared and that includes evaluating your key control program.
Simple restricted key programs controlling the number of keys available can
offer peace of mind concerning the security of your property and assets in times
of crisis. Determine who needs keys and how they can get them in the event you
or your personnel are displaced.
Card
Reader Systems' Failsafe Solutions
Access Control Systems that utilize card readers are efficient and effective
means for managing access, but many must utilize key override solutions during
natural disasters evacuations, and outages. Many of these systems' failsafe
solutions open doors to allow personnel to evacuate, securing behind them. In
the event of a power outage, generators and backup batteries are used, but each
can expire over the duration of the event, so how can access be managed and
controlled if the power backup plan fails?
As extended outages continue, door access controls can become unusable,
resulting in the use of basic brass key overrides. Do you know who has these
override keys to your facilities?

The Bad Guys Are Winning
U.S. #1 Highest Breach Cost = $21M
Companies Lose Ground to Cyber Criminals
In the battle between organizations and cyber criminals, the bad guys are
winning. The financial consequences of hacks have again shot up by 23% this
year, equaling the increase seen in 2016, according to new research.
Ponemon Institute conducted a benchmark study of 254 organizations, all with
more than 1,000 "enterprise seats," or direct connections to the entity's
network and enterprise systems. The results underscore the reality that cyber
crime is a pervasive nemesis, far beyond the occasional mega-hacks - against
Equifax, Target, Yahoo - that make big news.
The studied organizations suffered an average of 130 successful breaches (up
from 102 reported in a similar study last year), resulting in a collective
average cost hit of $11.7 million. U.S. companies reported the highest
average annual cost, $21 million, while Australian firms had the lowest,
$5.4 million, among the seven countries the study focused on. cfo.com
Malicious URL Emails Soar 600% in Q3
The volume of malicious emails blocked in Q3 climbed by 85%, versus the previous
three months, with ransomware by far the most common threat according to
new data from Proofpoint.
The firm's
Quarterly Threat Report is the result of daily analysis of over one
billion emails, hundreds of millions of social media posts, and over 150 million
malware samples.
It found the volume of emails featuring malicious URLs, as opposed to
attachments, has exploded over the past quarter; increasing 600% from Q2 and a
staggering 2,200% from Q3 2016.

The Dark Web Goes Mobile-and More Untrackable
The recent crackdown on popular dark web markets AlphaBay and Hansa is driving
cyber-criminals to migrate to messaging apps to carry out their nefarious
business.
An IntSights Cyber Intelligence
threat report, Messaging Applications: The New Dark Web, suggests that apps
like Discord, ICQ, Skype, Telegram and Whatsapp offer a convenience mobile
platform for criminals, given the availability of group chat. IntSights analyzed
thousands of black markets, text storage/paste sites, hacking forums, IRC
channels, apps and social media pages, and discovered a steady increase in
threat actors inviting cyber-crime forum users to join their messaging groups. infosecurity-magazine.com

New PCI Security Standards and Program Support EMV 3DS Adoption
This week at the PCI Europe Community Meeting the PCI Security Standards Council
(PCI SSC) announced two new security standards to support secure implementation
of EMVCo's EMV 3-D Secure (3DS) protocol. EMV3DS helps prevent unauthorized
card-not-present (CNP) transactions. It protects merchants from exposure to CNP
fraud by enabling consumers to authenticate themselves with their card issuers
when making online purchases through web browsers or via mobile applications.
Together the work of EMVCo and PCI SSC ensures an agile and workable structure
is established for both functional testing and security evaluation of EMV 3DS
solutions.

Online fraud is a $4 billion retail problem
We've all read of numerous instances of retail fraud, and many of us as
consumers have been victims of it. While consumers generally aren't
responsible for the charges, the pervasiveness of it undermines retailer,
bank, credit card and e-commerce credibility. With the rise of EMV chips in
use at physical stores, fraudsters are shifting some of their focus online.
At last month's Shop.org, RetailWire sat down with Michael Reitblat,
the co-founder & CEO of Forter, a developer of a fraud prevention system, to
get his take on what can be done. First, he said, while retailers are
normally responsible for fraudulent online transactions, historically they
made individual efforts to try and stop it, rather than pooling their
resources.
While there is approximately $4 billion in actual online fraud per year,
it becomes a $20 billion issue when you consider lost sales, according
to Mr. Reitblat. To help retailers manage the problem, Forter has built a
system that reviews transactions in real time, and provides a "yes or no"
answer to retailers in less than one second. Further, if Forter is wrong,
they accept responsibility. Mr. Reitblat says the service analyzes thousands
of data elements per transaction to get it right.

Account Takeover Fastest Growing Fraud Threat
New Study Reports $57.8 Billion In eCommerce Fraud Losses Across Eight Major
Industries
Account Takeover has replaced Stolen Financials as the fastest growing fraud
threat for eCommerce websites in 2017. While still representing only a
fraction of the volume of Stolen Financials, in Q2 2017 alone, Account Takeover
fraud rose by an alarming 45 percent, putting online retailers at a loss of $3.3
billion dollars. PYMNTS and Signifyd have partnered to track, analyze and report
on the recent changes in fraud by examining transactions of more than 5,000
eCommerce merchants in North America, Asia and Europe in the
October
2017 Global Fraud Index.
Across the board, the fraud rate for transactions valued over $500 was over 22
times higher than for transactions valued under $100. Fraud rates for
transactions exceeding $500 increased from 10.93 percent to 11.47 percent, while
transactions under $500 showed an overall decrease in fraud rate.
As shown in the report, Account Takeover fraud had begun rising sharply
months before the Equifax data breach was announced. But with the breach
compromising the personal data of at least 143 million people (nearly 45 percent
of American adults), the account takeover fraud trend is unlikely to come to an
end any time soon. Deloitte, Sonic, Whole Foods, and even the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) have suffered similar experiences in data breaches
of unknown severity.

NY's "Operation Sticky Fingers"
Boss of NY-Based Nationwide ORC Ring Pleads Guilty
Forfeits $7.28 Million - Faces 3 to 9 yrs
The leader of a theft ring that stole millions of dollars of electronics and
ink cartridges from big-box retailers and resold them on websites such as Amazon
and eBay pleaded guilty to the top criminal charges he faced, New York's
attorney general said.
Richard
Rimbaugh, known to his co-conspirators as "The General," 65, of
Manhattan, faces three to nine years in prison and will forfeit $7.28 million
of illegal proceeds.
Twelve people had been indicted in March for their alleged involvement in the
ring, following a 10-month probe known as "Operation Sticky Fingers."
Nine have pleaded guilty, including a plea on Wednesday by George Rapatsouleas,
a leader of one of Rimbaugh's theft crews and known as "Nipplehead," the
attorney general said. As crew Captain, Rapatsouleas was responsible for
managing and directing the other members of his crews known as the "Lieutenant"
and the "Sergeant". " Rapatsouleas' crew systematically traveled across the
country, at the direction of Rimbaugh and Athanasatos, who issued credit cards
to the crew to cover expenses such as flights, car rentals, and hotels.
"Our investigation discovered a brazen crime ring methodically stealing
millions from stores in New York and across the country," Schneiderman said
in a statement. "Organized retail theft preys on businesses and ultimately harms
consumers, who see the consequences in higher prices."
Investigators said the scheme involved thefts from Best Buy, Office Depot,
Staples and other retailers across 28 U.S. states.
The attorney general said the scheme dated to at least 2012.
Authorities seized 5,300 stolen electronics and ink cartridges from Rimbaugh
when they raided his apartment.
He said Rimbaugh directed his crews to steal specific items based on his ability
to resell them, and dictated the prices they were to receive, typically 30
percent to 50 percent of their retail value.
Rimbaugh then resold the goods through American Media Soft, a business he ran
from his apartment, the attorney general said.

Memphis, TN: Burglars steal $500,000 in
prescription drugs for Walgreens
in 2 minutes
Memphis
Police are looking for four people who made off with at least $500,000 worth of
prescription drugs from a local Walgreen's pharmacy in just two minutes.
Surveillance cameras were rolling early Tuesday morning as three of the suspects
jumped out of a sedan, broke through two doors and then began chunking the
prescription drugs into a small trash can. They grabbed an empty cash register
then fled. They were only in the store for two minutes, but the damage left
behind was evident, police said. The crooks shattered the front door, damaged
another and even smashed several drug cabinets as they grabbed the bottles of
Revlimid, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Adderall and Amphetamine.

"Something just told me it was the wrong
thing to do -- it didn't feel right -- I didn't have a good feeling about it."
The subconscious is a very strong silent partner we all have and oftentimes it
speaks to us in these phrases. The problem becomes when we over-think things and
muffle the most powerful partner we have -- our own minds. Or we allow our
closest confidant, our closest friend, or even at times our mentor to change or
alter our true feelings. Coming to the right decision with any big issue is
difficult and certainly we need the input of our trusted inner circle, and our
spouse, but at the end of the day you're the one living with the consequence of
your decision and you alone are responsible for it. When the bird on your
shoulder is talking, make sure you listen, because most mistakes are made when
that voice has been muffled.
Just a Thought,
Gus
