The Next Step - Real-Time
Identification & Notification
Are you a shoplifter? Cops armed with body-cams
will be sharing your image with shops
CITY centre cops will be armed with body-cams in a bid to deter and catch
festive shoplifters during one of Glasgow's busiest shopping periods.
The team of officers from the Retail Crime Unit, who are based at Stewart Street
Police Station, have been bolstered with the technology in the run up Christmas
and will take on the crooks intent on stealing from stores in the city's Golden
Z. Sergeant Gordon Coburn, of the Retail Crime Unit, said: "Officers
will be wearing body cameras and we will get pictures of the shoplifters there
and then."
"We will be able to identify them and that image can be circulated with
all our partners."
The team work closely with loss prevention officers who are based in most of the
city's big retailers. That image of a shoplifter can be shared with the stores
so they can add them to a watch list which will allow them to keep a look out.
We try and stop thieves using intelligence led policing, CCTV cameras, high
visibility police patrols and plain clothes officers who are all watching and
looking for the tell tale signs.
Editor's Note: Now when we connect body cameras to facial
recognition and instant messaging in one step we'll have a solution.

Costco Didn't Stop Customer
Harassing Employee?
EEOC Gets Ball Rolling On Costco Customer
Harassment Trial
The U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is calling on an Illinois federal
jury to find
Costco liable for failing to put an end to the unsettling behavior of a
customer who regularly harassed a former employee, a story that Costco called
into question at the opening of trial Monday.
Dawn Suppo worked at a Costco Wholesale Corp. store in Glenview, Ill., from 2009
to 2012 and claims that for 13 months customer Thad Thompson regularly followed
her around the store, attempted to touch her and asked her out on dates.
Now an Illinois federal jury must decide if the harassment happened as Suppo
says it did and, if it did, if the actions Costco undertook to prevent the
harassment were in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the
retailer's own anti-harassment policy.
The EEOC says the company did little to dissuade Thompson from his behavior,
telling him he was a valued customer and refusing to pull his membership card
until after a no-contact order had been issued by the local police.
"This is a case about a corporation that values the business of one of its
millions of customers over its employees." law360.com
Analyst: Donald Trump Could Go After Walmart Next
There's a good chance Trump will go after the retail giant-as it has been
scrutinized for its labor practices in recent years, CNBC reports.
An easy target for him are those companies that are holding down the hours of
their part-time employees to avoid paying them benefits," Malone said. "He could
put some real pressure on Walmart to step up and do the right thing-reduce the
burden on taxpayers for health-care coverage."

November retail hiring
plummets 14% to 6-year low
U.S. retailers added 521,800 workers during the first two months of the 2016
holiday season, plunging 14% from year-ago totals,
according to an analysis of federal employment data conducted by global
outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Retail employment grew by 371,500 jobs in November, down 9.3%
from last year's increase of 409,500, based on the latest data from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. That's the lowest November employment increase since 2010,
Challenger said.
Employment gains were also slow in October, when retailers added an adjusted
150,300 jobs; the original count of 154,600 was 23% fewer than the 194,800
staffers hired in October 2015.
Retail jobs, like retail traffic, are moving online: Black
Friday online sales alone rose nearly 22% to $3.3 billion, according to
Adobe Digital Insights statistics.
That means that while jobs in physical stores are down, retailers filled
96,200 transportation and warehousing in October and November, up from 71,300 a
year ago, up almost 35%, according to the BLS data crunched by
Challenger.

FDA releases guidance to
help combat pharmaceutical counterfeiting
within supply chain
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidelines for complying with
suspect and illegitimate product notifications last week, according to the
Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society.
Noting the threat of illegitimate sourcing and counterfeit products in the
pharmaceutical supply chain, the FDA passed the Drug Supply Chain Security Act
in 2013, which makes manufacturers responsible for reporting suspicious goods to
the FDA.
The guidelines released last week outline procedures for this responsibility,
for which the FDA is seeking comment. The guidelines also include a section on
sample scenarios that would elicit notification. supplychaindive.com
Organized Retail Crimes
Task-Force in Erie County
How local law enforcement in Buffalo are working to
stop organized retail crime
In Western New York, local law enforcement said they're constantly
working to stop it.
They'll steal goods and products from various stores, sometimes taking orders,"
Officer Craig Johnson, field intelligence officer for the Amherst Police
Department, said. Johnson said organized shoplifting rings operate
locally and even statewide.

They'll go] down the thru way through the major cities, Albany, Syracuse,
Rochester, Buffalo, even to Erie, Pennsylvania," he said. HE said the thieves
use stolen ID's and credit cards to rent cars. They'll even sometimes steal a
license plate from another car to put on their rental. Then they spend hours
stealing from stores, including items like clothing, medication, baby formula
and even appliances. They then move on to another city by the time law
enforcement is notified.
"They could be from different states. They could be from
downstate New York. It's very hard to find out that information of who these
people are," Johnson said.
In Erie County, close to 3900 arrests were made for shoplifting in 2015.
Just more than 3,850 arrests were made for shoplifting so far in 2016.
Officer Don Szumigala of the Cheektowaga Police Department is the head of the
Organized Retail Crimes Task-Force in Erie County. It's a group
of law enforcement from different areas of the county. They started the group
about 8 years ago to crack down on shoplifting.
We speak to each other about which jurisdictions are having issues, which
shoplifters are crossing over lines and we work together to get those people
arrested," Szumigala said.
They also work with store employees to find out the latest trends of how people
are stealing from stores. They also notify employees of suspects to look out
for.

Relaying 85,000 wreaths for vets' graves
Walmart truck driver William Blackwood of Raymond always wanted to join the
convoy of tractor-trailers that carry thousands of balsam fir memorial wreaths
to national cemeteries in time for Christmas, but his name was never chosen.
This year he finally got picked to drive one of the trucks that will deliver
more than 85,000 wreaths for Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization
that relies on thousands of volunteers to bring the wreaths to the graves of the
nation's veterans. Some 41 Walmart distribution centers and 100 Walmart drivers
from around the country are helping to transport the wreaths as part of a relay

NIST, FBI officials: IoT
security is a 'shared responsibility' between government, industry
Officials from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the FBI on
Monday encouraged collaboration between government, industry, and the public in
securing the growing network of connected devices.
Ron Ross, a fellow at NIST who helped develop
new standards for building in cybersecurity, said during a Bloomberg webcast
interview that government can lead on cybersecurity of the Internet of Things by
developing the standards and guidelines by which industry can secure its
products by design. insidecybersecurity.com
93% of Security Operations
Center Managers Overwhelmed by Alerts and Unable to Triage Potential Threats
Intel Security today released its
McAfee Labs Threats Report: December 2016,, which provides insights into how
enterprises are using security operations centers (SOCs), details key 2016
developments in ransomware, and illustrates how attackers are creating
difficult-to-detect malware by infecting legitimate code with Trojans and
leveraging that legitimacy to remain hidden as long as possible. The December
report also details the growth of ransomware, mobile malware, macro malware, Mac
OS malware and other threats in Q3 2016.

The State of the SOC in 2016
In mid-2016, Intel Security commissioned a primary research study to gain a
deeper understanding of the ways in which enterprises use SOCs, how they have
changed over time, and what they will look like in the future. Interviews with
nearly 400 security practitioners across several countries, industries and
company sizes yielded valuable information on the state of the SOC in 2016:
Alert overload - Triage trouble - Cause of the rise - Threat signals -
Proactive vs. reactive - Adversaries - Causes for investigation
Survey respondents said that the highest priority for the growth and investment
of SOCs is to improve the ability to respond to confirmed attacks, which
includes the ability to coordinate, remediate, eradicate, learn and prevent
reoccurrences. yahoo.com
Office-Themed Phishes Have
20% Success Rate
WWhen it comes to susceptibility to phishing lures, business-context simulations
are still the most successful: Office communications and finance-related themes
generated the highest susceptibility rates, with 19.9% and 18.6% respectively,
driven by sentiments of curiosity, fear and urgency.
The PhishMe research teams
analyzed data compiled from over 40 million phishing simulations performed
between January 2015 and July 2016.
In looking at particular types of phishing email type, the "file from scanner"
scenario generated the highest number of response rates in the transportation
sector at 49%, followed by healthcare at 31% and insurance at 30%. On the other
hand, the non-profit sector scored the lowest response rate, at a 5%.

CEOs' Overconfidence in
Security Could be their Undoing
CEOs' overconfidence in their organization's ability to deflect attacks could be
exposing global firms to greater cyber risk, according to new research from
RedSeal.
The cybersecurity analytics firm interviewed 200 CEOs of global firms, and found
over 80% were very confident in their cybersecurity strategy.
This is despite data breach incidents soaring in 2016. In the US alone there
have been nearly 1,000 reported incidents this year, leading to the exposure of
35 million records, according to the
Identity Theft Resource Center.

Dozens arrested in
international DDoS-for-hire crackdown
Law enforcement agencies arrested 34 suspects in 13 countries, including
the U.K and the U.S., as part of a crackdown last week on DDoS
(distributed denial-of-service) attacks.
The arrests targeted buyers of DDoS-for-hire services, which get paid to flood
websites or internet-connected systems with traffic, forcing them to go offline.
In addition to the 34 arrests, law enforcement agencies interviewed and warned
another 101 individuals. Many of the suspects were under the age of 20, the
European Union police agency Europol said in a Monday
statement.
Most buyers of DDoS-for-hire services use them to pull pranks, often in online
gaming. For example, a flood of traffic can be sent to a rival player's IP
address, severing their internet connection to a game.
But DDoS attacks can also be used for more malicious purposes. For example,
hackers have used them to shut down online businesses as part of
extortion schemes.

power adapters and batteries following lawsuit
There are safety concerns
Following a lawsuit
revealed back in October in which Apple exposed an issue with a large
percentage of fake Apple adapters being marketed as "genuine" online,

The message, posted on the front page of the company's
support webpage, warns
customers that counterfeit power adapters and batteries could pose
safety issues. The company also offers customers that might have had a
recent battery replacement the option to bring in their devices to an Apple
Store or authorized service provider to check if the battery is genuine.

Amazon Underfire in the UK
Amazon Warehouse Workers Have Resorted To Sleeping
In Tents
Amazon factory workers in Britain are sleeping in tents close to one of the
company's largest UK warehouses because they can't afford the commute to work,
Scottish newspaper
The Courier has reported.
The facility, one of 12 in the UK, hosts 1,500 permanent staff, but the increase
in order demand around the Christmas and New Year period sees more than 3,000
extra staff hired. The incident throws light on the hidden supply chains and
unseen labor of online shopping, especially during busy periods.
"The wages are too low which means people are driven to live like this to make
work pay. The intensity of the work means that people are just working, eating
and sleeping," he said. Motherboard asked Rennie whether workers resorting to
sleeping in tents was a case of low pay or too many working hours. He replied,
"It is a bit of both. It's long hours, low pay and intense work. Pickers are
expected to walk a half marathon a day. They work until they drop."
In an emailed statement, Amazon UK told Motherboard, "Amazon provides a safe and
positive workplace. The safety and wellbeing of our permanent and temporary
associates is our number one priority." The company also said it is proud to
have created thousands of permanent jobs in its UK fulfilment centers over the
last five years. "We pay competitive wages - all permanent and temporary Amazon
associates start on 7.35 pounds an hour or above regardless of age and 11 pounds
an hour and above for overtime," said Amazon. The national living wage in
Britain is 7.20 pounds an hour for workers over the age of 25.

Denver,
CO: Sneaker Thieves Target Consignment Shop... Again
A popular consignment sneaker store on South Broadway was burglarized overnight,
making it the second time the store was hit in just three years of business. The
sneaker resale market is said to be worth $1 billion. The merchandise is often
rare and exclusive enough to be a hot commodity to thieves when sneakers range
in price from a couple hundred dollars up to thousands per pair. It was 18
months ago when the owners of Vices Sneaker Boutique off Broadway were robbed at
gunpoint. That's when they upped their security, with patrons having to be
buzzed in. Despite the security upgrades, the sneaker resale shop was hit again
early Monday morning.

Feds Charge Employee -
Stealing $600,000 of Art From Employer & Selling
at Flea Market
The federal government announced Friday that it has charged a man in
New York federal court with stealing at least 13 works of Native
American and African tribal art worth more than $600,000 from his
employer and attempting to sell them through a
Manhattan-based flea market.
He has been charged with one count of interstate sale of stolen
property in connection with his theft and attempted sale of the
art, according to a recently unsealed complaint.

"Leon Zinder stole African tribal and Native American art from his employer
over a two-year period, then fabricated stories of the pieces coming from a
storage unit close-out sale or from an elderly widow in Arizona to establish
a consignment sale relationship with an unsuspecting art dealer," Sweeney
said in a statement Friday. "This case was brought forward to the FBI by an
art dealer who started to realize these stories were too good to be true."
Specifically, from July 2010 through April 2012, Zinder was employed as an
art handler for an unnamed New York-based company that manages an "extensive
art collection" of African and Native American ethnographic works of art,
and he stole at least 13 of them from its facilities, according to a
statement from Bharara's office.
Then, from roughly September 2015 through October 2016, Zinder either sold
or attempted to sell the stolen art through a consignment relationship with
an art dealer who does business at an outdoor flea market in lower
Manhattan, the release said.
Among the at least 13 works of art Zinder tried to sell through the dealer
were at least three items he had stolen from one of his employer's
facilities in Greenwich, Connecticut, and brought to Manhattan.
