How Organized Retail Crime is Threatening the Retail Industry
Organized
Retail Crime (ORC), the coordinated theft of merchandise for resale, has
grown exponentially in the U.S., necessitating increased security
measures and even causing store closures. The issue is projected to
escalate, demanding modern, tactical security solutions that allow
retailers and law enforcement to combat ORC while maintaining a pleasant
shopping environment.
Cloud video security is a powerful tool in fighting ORC.
OpenEye's comprehensive
guide delves into the current methods for defining and measuring ORC's
impact on businesses and the economy. It explores effective security
strategies for mitigating inventory loss and enhancing the shopping
experience. The guide also highlights the advantages of cloud video
surveillance in tackling ORC, and how the integration of other security
systems can provide a more robust solution for retailers.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Do Non-Intervention Policies Embolden
Shoplifters?
UK: Workers need more support over shoplifters, says professor
Sean Egan, 46, who had worked at the Aldridge store, near Walsall, for
29 years, was devastated when he was dismissed following an incident in
December, after he intervened when a repeat shoplifter became
abusive.
Emmeline Taylor, a professor of criminology, said the incident
highlighted a "nationwide shoplifting epidemic". "Shoplifters are
becoming increasingly emboldened. They might carry weapons, they're
threatening, they're aggressive [but now] retailers responded to say,
don't intervene," Taylor said.
The City Saint George's University professor said broader
non-intervention policies that have emboldened offenders are one
reason for the increase in theft incidents and assaults towards retail
workers.
"A non-intervention approach morphed into policies of, do not
intervene and it suddenly became that you would be the one being
questioned if you did so, and that's where we've got this real issue.
"Policies were brought in with good intentions. The way that they
seem to have been implicated just is soul destroying for shop workers
who are well trained.
The number of shop thefts recorded by the police last year was
529,994 incidents tallied by the Office for National Statistics.
"It would appear that Morrisons have taken a very black and white
approach to this, that perhaps doesn't understand the context that
shop workers are actually having to work in at the moment," she said.
The story was catapulted into the national headlines, with
politicians and the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police rushing to
show their support. The former store manager, who lives in
Wolverhampton, previously said the support he had received from the
nation was "outstanding".
A Morrisons spokesperson said the store could not comment on individual
cases, but that the health and safety of all colleagues and customers
was of paramount importance.

The Rise of High-Income Shoplifters
Walmart and Target face new self-checkout retail theft problems
The behavior is showing up at
Publix, Kroger, and Albertsons.
Retailers,
especially supermarkets and large department stores, including Walmart
and Target, have faced theft issues with self-checkout. Now, new
research from LendingTree shows that who is stealing and how
consumers feel about theft is creating a new problem for stores.
Higher-income earners are stealing more
Self-checkout makes it somewhat easier for people to steal because it
offers the plausible deniability of the missed item being a mistake.
Forty percent of six-figure earners admitted to deliberately not
scanning an item at a store, according to the LendingTree report.
That’s more than double the 17% of people making $30,000 and under who
say they have done the same thing.
About a third (31%) of those who’ve stolen intentionally don’t feel
remorseful. In fact, 55% say they think they’ll do it again.
Schulz said that may boil down to ongoing frustration with how expensive
life is today, and how little hope people have that things will
dramatically improve.
“People have watched prices rise for years, and often see retailers’
profits continue to rise, too,” he says. “They feel like if they
walk out of a store without paying for a loaf of bread or a pint of ice
cream that it won’t even amount to a rounding error for that company,
but it could help make their life a little easier.”

More Fingers Pointed at Self-Checkout
Aisles
Middle-class shoplifting linked to rise in self-checkouts, says M&S
chairman
Self-checkouts in supermarkets and shops are increasingly being
associated with a rise in middle-class shoplifting, according to
Archie Norman, chairman of Marks & Spencer. Speaking to The Daily
Telegraph, Norman expressed concern that pressed-for-time shoppers are
opting to steal items rather than properly scanning them when faced with
checkout issues. “When normally good, honest people come in and they’re
buying their shopping and it doesn’t scan, and there’s nobody manning
the checkouts, they’re saying, ‘It’s not my fault and I don’t have much
time so if I can’t get my strawberries through, I’ll just put them in my
basket,’” he elaborated.
The prevalence of self-checkouts and their implications on theft
dynamics are currently under investigation by researchers at City St
George’s University of London, led by Professor Emmeline Taylor, an
expert in retail crime. Taylor has introduced the term “swipers” to
characterize middle-class shoppers who engage in casual theft by
exploiting gaps in checkout technology. Her research suggests that these
individuals often use “class signifiers,” such as appearing well-dressed
and employing educated language, to evade scrutiny while committing
theft.
Marks & Spencer has responded to the evolving landscape of retail by
adding hundreds of self-service machines, having installed 800
checkouts in 2023 aimed at saving the company £150 million.
Recently, the retailer has called for increased government and police
intervention to tackle retail crime, highlighting that organized
criminal gangs are increasingly targeting their stores.
Norman’s remarks coincide with official statistics revealing that
half a million shoplifting incidents were reported to the police last
year, marking a decrease of 1 percent from the previous year. In a
similar vein, Simon Roberts, chief executive of Sainsbury’s, commented
on the importance of visible policing in stores, stating, “It would make
the point that this issue is really serious, it really matters and it’s
really top of the agenda.”

Violence in the Workplace
Workplace Violence is Increasing
The rate of workplace assaults per
10,000 FTE increased by 62%, according to study from National Council on
Compensation Insurance.
Workplace violence, which can range from threats, verbal abuse, up to
physical assault and homicide, has increased at an annualized rate of
5.3% per year from 2011 through 2021-22, according to a paper
released this month from the National Council on Compensation Insurance.
The paper focuses on nonfatal assaults from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The rate of workplace assaults per 10,000 full-time
equivalent (FTE) workers increased by 62%.
The share of assaults among all of the BLS’ days away from work (DAFW)
cases increased from 1.3% in 2011 to a peak of 2.3% in 2019.
Women tend to experience an elevated risk of workplace assault.
Workers aged 20 to 34 experience a disproportionate number of assaults.
Hitting, kicking, and beating by another person accounts for nearly 93%
of all workplace assaults.
The survey found that the majority of workplace assaults resulting in
days away from work involve physical altercations such as hitting,
kicking, or beating, accounting for nearly 93% of all cases.
Although the remaining assault categories each make up only a very small
share of total incidents, they often involve more severe mechanisms,
such as shootings, stabbings, or sexual assault.
These lower-frequency events can carry substantial per-injury
medical, legal, and productivity costs, meaning that even a small
number of severe assaults can have an outsized impact on employers and
workers.

OSHA Targets Retail Safety Violations
Retail Workplace Safety: Where OSHA Is
Focusing Enforcement in 2026
By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail environments are often perceived as lower-risk compared to
industrial settings, but enforcement data from the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) continues to show that
retailers face
consistent exposure to workplace safety violations — many of them
preventable.
In 2026, OSHA’s most frequently cited standards still reflect
long-standing compliance gaps across industries, including retail. These
include hazard
communication, lockout/tagout procedures, powered industrial truck
safety, and walking-working surfaces.
While these categories are not retail-specific, they routinely apply to
store backrooms, stock areas, and distribution operations.
Hazard
communication (HazCom) remains a leading issue.
Retailers that use cleaning chemicals, solvents, or maintenance supplies
are required to maintain updated Safety Data Sheets (SDS), ensure proper
labeling, and provide employee training. Missing or outdated
documentation is a common trigger for citations during inspections.
Backroom
operations continue to present risk.
Stocking, unloading, and storage activities expose employees to lifting
injuries and struck-by hazards. OSHA continues to emphasize safe
material handling practices, including ergonomics and proper storage to
prevent falling merchandise.
Powered
industrial trucks — particularly forklifts and pallet jacks — are
another area of focus.
Operators must be properly trained and certified, and equipment must be
maintained in safe working condition. Even in smaller retail
environments, improper use or lack of training can lead to violations.
Lockout/tagout requirements also apply in retail settings where
equipment such as compactors or balers is serviced. Failure to properly
isolate energy sources during maintenance remains a serious safety risk
and a frequent citation point.
Additionally,
workplace violence prevention is receiving increased attention.
OSHA continues to highlight risks in customer-facing environments,
especially for retailers operating late hours or handling cash. While
there is no single federal standard specific to workplace violence,
employers are still expected to address these risks under the General
Duty Clause.
From an enforcement perspective,
OSHA inspections are
commonly triggered by employee complaints, reported injuries, or
targeted emphasis programs.
Penalty levels continue to be adjusted annually for inflation,
reinforcing the importance of compliance and timely hazard correction.
For retailers, the takeaway in 2026 is straightforward:
everyday operations —
from chemical handling to stocking shelves — carry regulatory
expectations.
Proactive safety programs, regular audits, and ongoing employee training
remain critical to reducing both workplace risk and compliance exposure.
Retail vs. Returns
The hidden cost of returns and how retailers can get ahead of it
Returns have quietly become one of retail's biggest challenges,
with online returns on track to approach half of all retail returns by
the end of the decade, even though ecommerce sales will only account for
about 20% of total sales, according to EMARKETER forecasts.
"Returns may feel like a cost center for retailers, but if you don't
have the right levers in place and you don't treat it like an
opportunity to court a customer, you might never get them back,"
said our analyst Suzy Davidkhanian on a recent episode of “Reimagining
Retail.”
The challenge for retailers is finding balance between growth,
customer expectations, and profitability while managing the
environmental impact of extra shipping and packaging waste.
Product information drives the majority of
returns
Several factors contribute to product returns, but gaps in product
information, including about the quality of an item, consistently rise
to the top.
Fit and sizing also play a major role, especially in apparel,
where variability across brands and styles makes it hard for shoppers to
consistently choose the right option.
Return fraud and impulse buying add to the
problem
Intentional return fraud accounts for an estimated 15% of
ecommerce returns, according to Canaves, higher than the National Retail
Federation's 9% figure for all retail, which includes in-store
purchases.
Impulse purchasing and changing one’s mind are also common
contributors.
By contrast, operational issues like delivery problems or product
damage appear to play a relatively smaller role, with ongoing
improvements in logistics and fulfillment helping to reduce the
frequency of returns driven by these factors.

Retailers Targeted with 'Vishing'
Attacks
BlackFile Group Targets Retail and Hospitality with Vishing Attacks
Security researchers have revealed details of a new extortion group that
has been actively targeting retail and hospitality businesses since
February 2026.
Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 teamed up with the Retail and Hospitality
Information Security and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC) to publish a new
report on April 23, Extortion in the Enterprise: Defending Against
BlackFile Attacks.
It detailed financially-motivated activity linked to the activity
cluster CL-CRI-1116, which the authors said overlaps with public
reporting on BlackFile, UNC6671 and Cordial Spider, and is likely to be
associated with notorious collective “The Com.”
“The attackers behind CL-CRI-1116 do not rely on custom malware or
tooling,” it explained. “Rather, they focus on living off the land
through misuse of application programming interfaces (APIs) and other
legitimate internal resources.”
BlackFile typically targets victims through vishing attacks
impersonating the IT helpdesk. Spoofed VoIP numbers or fraudulent
Caller ID Names are used to hide their true identity and the end goal is
credential/one-time-password theft.
To this end, the threat actors use phishing pages designed to spoof
legitimate corporate single sign-on portals.
After they’ve gained physical access to a user’s account via credential
phishing, BlackFile often registers a new device in order to bypass
multi-factor authentication (MFA) and maintain persistence.

Orgs Breached via Microsoft Teams
Attackers use MS Teams, fake mailbox repair utility to breach
organizations
A threat group has penetrated corporate networks by impersonating IT
helpdesk staff on Microsoft Teams, tricking employees into
downloading malware and surrendering their credentials to a fake
“Mailbox Repair Utility”.
The group started the attack attack by flooding targeted employees’
inboxes with spam emails, then reached out to them via Microsoft Teams
while posing as an IT helpdesk employee offering to help.
From there, the social engineering only grew more elaborate. Victims
were instructed to click a link to install a local patch to prevent
email spamming.
“Once clicked, the user’s browser opened an HTML page and ultimately
downloaded a renamed AutoHotKey binary and an AutoHotkey script, sharing
the same name, from a threat actor-controlled AWS S3 bucket,” GTIG
researchers explained.
The HTML page masquerades as an official “Mailbox Repair and Sync
Utility,” complete with professional-looking interface elements and a
“Health Check” button that triggered a credential prompt.
Mimicking the behavior of a legitimate authentication system and
reinforcing the victim’s belief that what they were interacting with was
real, the page rejected the first two password attempts. After a
third, “successful” attempt, the victim watched a progress bar tick
through fake diagnostic tasks while their credentials were sent to an
attacker-controlled server.

E-Commerce vs. Fake Reviews
The Growing Challenge of Fake Reviews in E-Commerce
By
the D&D Daily staff
As online shopping continues to dominate retail, the integrity of
product reviews has become a critical issue for both retailers and
consumers. Platforms like Amazon rely heavily on user-generated reviews
to drive purchasing decisions, but the rise of fake or manipulated
reviews is creating new risks across the ecosystem.
Fake reviews generally fall into two categories: incentivized positive
reviews and coordinated negative campaigns. In some cases,
third-party sellers offer free products, refunds, or payment in exchange
for favorable feedback. In others, competitors may attempt to damage
a brand’s reputation through false negative reviews. Both tactics
undermine trust and distort product rankings.
For retailers and marketplaces, the impact extends beyond customer
experience. Inflated ratings can lead to increased returns when
products fail to meet expectations, while manipulated listings can skew
demand forecasting and inventory planning. Additionally, fraudulent
review activity is often linked to broader organized retail crime (ORC)
networks, where bad actors exploit marketplace systems for financial
gain.
Major platforms have taken steps to address the issue. Amazon, for
example, has invested in machine learning models to detect suspicious
review patterns and has pursued legal action against review brokers
and fraudulent sellers. Despite these efforts, enforcement remains
challenging due to the scale of activity and the evolving tactics used
by bad actors.
From a loss prevention and asset protection perspective, fake reviews
represent a non-traditional but growing area of concern. Monitoring
seller behavior, identifying unusual spikes in review activity, and
collaborating with platform partners are becoming increasingly important
components of a comprehensive risk strategy.
As e-commerce continues to expand, maintaining trust in the digital
marketplace will depend on retailers’ ability to detect and mitigate
manipulation—ensuring that reviews remain a reliable tool for
consumers and a stable foundation for online sales.

Staten Island, NY: Update: Mall employees shaken after $250K burglary at
JCPenney: ‘It could happen here’
While Monday was mostly business as usual at the JCPenney in the Staten Island
Mall, employees at other stores shared concern after a weekend burglary at the
cornerstone retailer. Early Sunday morning, a pair of burglars made off with
an estimated $250,000 in jewelry after breaking into the JCPenney in New
Springville. Police said that two people, wearing all black, broke into the
store between 2:50 a.m. and 3:30 a.m., using a hammer to break two doors at the
exterior entrance near Marsh. After breaking the doors, the pair headed to the
jewelry section on the store’s top floor and smashed several glass display
cases. The two then exited the store and fled east on Marsh, police say. The
store was open for business on Monday and customers were browsing the display
cases and asking to see pieces. A section of the jewelry department was marked
off with caution tape, and several empty display cases were seen with pieces of
wood across the top.

Montgomery County, Accused Ringleader Of $155,000 Retail Theft Busted In MONTCO
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele announced the arrest of
Nehemeiah Jones, 31, of Norristown and charged him with being the ringleader
of a theft ring that took over $155,000 in high end merchandise from stores like
Lulumon, Diesel, Givenchy, Nordstrom and Dicks Sporting Goods. Jones, the
allegations said, employed people mostly juveniles to steal from those stores,
and use fraudulent returns . The organization stole high-value merchandise
including designer purses, perfumes and clothing. The stolen goods were taken
from stores without payment and later resold below market value through an
illicit marketplace developed by Jones via social media. Investigators also
found a pattern of fraudulent returns involving Lululemon stores in Upper Merion
Township. Jones arranged for Lululemon merchandise to be stolen from stores
across the tri-state area, then coordinated returns of the stolen items in
exchange for gift cards loaded with store credit, effectively laundering the
proceeds. He later sold the fraudulently obtained gift cards for additional
profit.

Houston, TX: Suspects caught trying to sell stolen comics after burglarizing
Houston store
Two people are in custody after allegedly breaking into a Houston comic book
store and then trying to sell the stolen merchandise at another shop less than
24 hours later, according to Precinct 5 Constables. Surveillance video from
around 9:30 p.m. the night before showed two people inside Texas Time Warp
Collectibles in northwest Houston, loading merchandise into bags. The stolen
items have an appraised value of more than $4,000, constables said. The store
owners posted an alert on social media about the stolen comics. That tip led to
a quick break in the case when the owner of The Comic Vault, a shop in northwest
Harris County, reached out after receiving pictures of the stolen items from
someone looking to sell them. Constables staked out The Comic Vault and were
waiting when a man and a woman showed up around 2 p.m. A third man who had been
waiting inside a nearby business was also detained shortly after.

Shootings & Deaths
Baton Rouge, LA: Update: Suspect seen with semi-automatic pistol in deadly mall
shooting, affidavits say
Baton Rouge Police arrested 17-year-old Markel Lee and charged him with
first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder in the
deadly Mall of Louisiana shooting. According to arrest documents, detectives
pulled surveillance video from the mall. The documents read that, from one
camera angle of the food court, two groups of young men approached each other.
As they crossed paths, other people in the food court started running as though
they were reacting to hearing gunshots. A person was seen running toward the
men’s restroom with his arm extended behind him, pointing back to the center of
the dining area, according to arrest documents. Detectives said they found blood
splattered and bullet strikes in the area where the person was possibly pointing
an object. Investigators said a different camera angle near the restroom showed
a person holding what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol in his right hand.
Documents go on to say that as that person runs toward the restroom, his right
arm is extended and pointing back to the food court.
