Auror Subject Recognition recognized by leading retail industry
research group
 GRAPEVINE,
Texas – June 11, 2026 – Auror, the leading retail crime intelligence
platform used by some of the largest retailers across the United States
and around the world, was honored this week by the Loss Prevention
Research Council (LPRC) for its responsible solution to help retailers
manage facial recognition technology (FRT) in stores, strictly for crime
prevention and safety purposes.
Auror Subject Recognition is an add-on module that wraps the data
governance and safeguarded workflows around the FRT, allowing retailers
to use their own existing information about serious offending to provide
early notification to store teams. The system keeps a human in the loop
on key decisions, provides full auditability, and scope is locked so it
cannot be used for profiling or in-store tracking. Subject Recognition
was awarded with this year’s LPRC Product Protection Summit Award, in
the New Conceptual Solutions category, during the National Retail
Federation’s NRF PROTECT 2026 event.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Following the ORC Money Trail
Organized Retail Theft Investigations Expand Beyond the Theft
Following Financial Networks Becomes
an Increasing Focus for Investigators
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As organized retail crime (ORC) continues to challenge retailers across
the country, many investigations are increasingly focused on more than
the theft itself. Retailers, law enforcement agencies and prosecutors
are devoting greater attention to understanding the networks that
help move stolen merchandise from store shelves into the marketplace.
Unlike opportunistic shoplifting, organized retail theft often
involves groups that target specific products with the intention of
reselling them for profit. Health and beauty items, over-the-counter
medications, apparel, electronics and other high-demand products
frequently appear in ORC investigations because they can be resold
through a variety of channels.
Industry experts note that the theft is often only one component of a
larger operation. Stolen merchandise may pass through multiple
individuals before eventually being sold online, at flea markets,
through social media platforms or via other secondary markets.
As a result, investigators are increasingly examining the financial
and logistical structures that support organized theft activity. In
addition to reviewing surveillance footage and incident reports,
investigations may include analysis of transaction records, return
activity, gift card transactions, shipping information and other data
that can help identify broader patterns.
Many retailers have also expanded intelligence-sharing efforts with
law enforcement and industry partners. By comparing incidents across
multiple locations, organizations can sometimes identify common
suspects, recurring methods and connections between theft events that
initially appeared unrelated.
Law enforcement agencies have similarly emphasized intelligence-led
approaches designed to identify individuals responsible for coordinating
theft crews, facilitating resale operations or managing distribution
networks. In some cases, investigations may result in charges beyond
theft offenses when evidence supports broader criminal activity.
The strategy reflects a growing recognition that organized retail crime
often operates as a coordinated enterprise rather than a series of
isolated incidents. While apprehending offenders and recovering
merchandise remain important objectives, many investigators view
disrupting the networks that profit from stolen goods as an important
component of long-term ORC prevention efforts.
Partnerships Strengthen Theft
Investigations
How Anchorage PD combined partnerships and technology to combat retail
theft
A dedicated retail theft unit,
stronger retailer collaboration and better intelligence sharing helped
Anchorage Police improve investigations, increase prosecutions and
maximize limited resources
Retail theft has grown into a persistent challenge, resulting in
direct losses to retailers, higher prices for consumers and strains
on public safety resources.
In Anchorage, Alaska, police officers and community members witnessed
theft trends firsthand: brazen grab-and-go incidents, vehicles loaded
with stolen goods and everyday items locked behind cases. Encounters
sometimes escalated when offenders assumed store policies would prevent
intervention, leading to confrontations that jeopardized safety.
The stakes and the opportunity
Experience shows retail theft rarely occurs in isolation. Individuals
involved often intersect with other criminal activity, which compounds
safety risks for neighborhoods. The “petty” label obscures the reality
that community well-being is directly affected: Quality of life
diminishes, businesses face higher operating costs and residents
ultimately pay more. Recognizing the broader impact reframes theft
as a public safety problem that warrants focused, data-driven attention.
At the same time, Anchorage Police confronted the practical constraints
shared by many agencies: short staffing and the need to prioritize
calls involving the greatest public harm.
A turning point: From observation to action
Anchorage’s pivot began when I attended Axon Week in 2025. As the
department prepared for an Axon partnership to integrate technology
initiatives throughout the organization, I happened to sit in on a
session about retail theft. The presentation introduced
Auror — pronounced
“aura” — a retail crime intelligence platform already in use by many of
Anchorage’s major retailers. What stood out was not just the
software, but the connected ecosystem retailers had built around it.
Loss prevention and asset protection teams were documenting incidents,
evidence, trespass notices and itemized losses in the system. Auror
created the Retail Crime Hub that law enforcement could access, search
and act upon (with retailer permission).
For Anchorage, this was the bridge between limited resources and
smarter enforcement. Auror centralizes incident data, makes
repeat-offender patterns visible across locations and brings
surveillance images, receipts and reports into a single, searchable
interface for investigators. Instead of piecemeal file transfers,
phone tag and long drives to collect thumb drives, officers can review
digital case packets, communicate directly with store partners and move
faster on warrants and prosecutions.

Cracking Down on Big City Crime
Braun: State Will Continue to Step In to Help Crime-Ridden Cities
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun spoke during
a crime crackdown press conference on Wednesday with Indiana State
Police.
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said the state is not going to “watch
blindly” if cities like Indianapolis can’t get crime under control.
During the Indiana State Police Crime Crackdown press conference on
Wednesday, Gov. Braun appeared to call out prosecutors while discussing
violent crime in Indy, saying they must be more aggressive when
prosecuting violent offenders.
“Places urban in nature have got to get their crime under control,” Gov.
Braun said. “Police are generally doing their job, and then it boils
down to prosecutors.” The governor also warned that if Indianapolis
and other major Indiana cities cannot get a better grasp on their
violent crime issues, the state will continue stepping in.
“The Indianapolis police department is going to get help from state
police,” said Braun. “Southern Indiana is a place where the stuff
we’re talking about here (Indianapolis), that kind of violent crime,
generally, has been happening in urban areas, and hopefully what we’re
doing across the state tamps it down in general.”

Making the Business Case for LP
Investment
Why Retail Security and Loss Prevention Budgets Remain Strategic
Investments
By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers continue to navigate economic uncertainty, margin pressures
and shifting consumer expectations, many departments are facing
increased scrutiny over budgets and spending priorities. For loss
prevention and asset protection leaders, that environment often creates
a familiar challenge: demonstrating the business value of
security-related investments.
While loss prevention programs have traditionally been viewed through
the lens of shrink reduction, many retailers are increasingly
recognizing that modern LP functions contribute to a much broader range
of business objectives.
Security technologies, investigative tools, access control systems,
video surveillance platforms and workforce safety initiatives can
help protect inventory and assets, but they also support operational
continuity, employee retention, customer experience and risk management
efforts.
One of the ongoing challenges for LP leaders is that successful
prevention is often difficult to quantify. Unlike sales growth or
revenue generation, many LP successes involve incidents that never occur
because of proactive measures already in place.
As a result, industry experts frequently encourage security leaders
to focus on metrics that connect LP activities to broader business
outcomes. These may include reductions in operational disruptions,
improvements in employee safety, faster incident resolution times, lower
insurance costs, reduced fraud losses and support for compliance
requirements.
Cross-functional collaboration has also become increasingly important.
Retailers often find that security investments generate value across
multiple departments, including operations, human resources, legal, risk
management and information technology teams. Demonstrating those shared
benefits can strengthen support for future funding requests.
The growing convergence of physical security, cybersecurity and
operational resilience has further elevated the strategic role of LP
organizations. Investments that improve visibility, communication
and incident response capabilities can help retailers prepare for a wide
range of challenges, from workplace safety incidents and supply chain
disruptions to technology outages and emergency situations.
As budget planning discussions continue across the retail industry, many
organizations are viewing loss prevention not simply as a cost
center, but as a business function that helps protect people, assets
and operations. For LP leaders, clearly communicating that value remains
one of the most important components of securing long-term investment
and organizational support.
92% of Employees Feel Workplace Strain
Ways to Address Chronic Strain in the Workplace
Companies are using principles of
resilience as way to combat the strain that 92% of employees feel.
Server Username
A recent survey, Workforce State of Mind, from Headspace, found a
disconnect between what employers think they're providing and what
employees actually experience.
This gap is important because 92% of workers report experiencing
mental or cognitive strain at work. And 37% say that the strain has
increased in the past 12 months.
Employees reported that the strain has had a negative impact on the
following areas:
-
76% said it
affects their sleep
-
73% said it affects
their ability to focus
-
70% said it
affects their productivity
-
44% said it affects
their ability to apply good judgment when using AI and new
technologies.
The survey found that several factors are driving this chronic stress:
How To Solve Stockout Complaints
Sephora, Trader Joe’s, and Target See High Stockout Complaints: What’s
the Answer?
Out-of-stocks or stockouts are a persistent problem in retail,
whether physical or digital, and new data provided by a recent DOSS
report indicates that the issue isn’t a stagnant one.
Surveying 1,000 U.S. consumers and comprehensively analyzing stockout
language found across social media platform Reddit, the report indicates
that consumers have some tolerance for stockouts — but that patience
isn’t exhaustive.
“Nearly three-quarters (74%) of consumers encountered an out-of-stock
product they regularly buy in the past 12 months. On average,
shoppers hit stockouts three times a year when shopping online. When a
stockout happens, 45% buy from a different retailer and 32% switch to
a competing brand temporarily,” the report authors wrote.
“About 62% of consumers said they have switched to a competing brand
at least once because of a stockout, and 82% said they would try a
competitor if their go-to is frequently out of stock. A quarter (25%)
said stockouts specifically damaged their trust in a brand. More than 1
in 20 (6%) have gone further, leaving a negative review because of a
stockout or fulfillment issue,” the research team added.

'Retail Crises'
Senate Examines Main Street Retail Crises
Small business retail is under pressure from tariffs, shifting
consumer behavior, and generational spending changes. A Senate Small
Business hearing scheduled for June 17 will examine 250 years of this
type of commerce, with a particular focus on the retail sector at a
moment when data suggests it is acting as a drag on the broader small
business economy.
A Main Street Alliance survey of approximately 3,000 small business
members found that 81.5 percent said they may raise prices to offset
tariff costs, while 41.7 percent reported they would delay business
investments. The National Retail Federation (NRF) has warned that
import volume at major U.S. ports was expected to see a significant
year-over-year decline in the first half of 2026 due to tariff impacts,
a direct hit to small retailers, given that the NRF also reports that 97
percent of U.S. companies that import goods are small businesses.

Massive Cyberattack Surface
FIFA World Cup expected to face extensive criminal, hacktivist cyber
threats
Researchers warn that thousands of
malicious domains are already in place, as fans and tournament
organizers face potential attacks.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which officially kicks off today, is
expected to face a wave of cyber threat activity from actors seeking
credentials and financial gain, while state-linked adversaries will
pose a serious risk to disrupt the tournament.
The 39-day tournament is considered the largest sporting event in
history, with a record 48 teams playing in 104 matches in 16 cities
across the U.S., Mexico and Canada, marking the first time the games
are being jointly hosted by three countries. The tournament starts today
in Mexico City and will conclude on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New
Jersey.
FIFA expects more than 5 million fans to attend games, creating a
massive attack surface for cyber threat activity or even violence.
Researchers warn that financially motivated actors have already prepared
to capitalize on the games.
Cybercriminal infrastructure
More than 10,000 World Cup-themed malicious domains have popped
up since January, according to a report released Tuesday by Arctic Wolf.
Social media posts are luring potential victims to sites on Discord,
WhatsApp or Telegram, in order to spread malware or conduct other
fraudulent activity.
“Attackers are using the World Cup as cover to run high-volume
phishing operations against both fans and the organizations supporting
the event,” Ismael Valenzuela, vice president of threat intelligence
research at Arctic Wolf, told Cybersecurity Dive.
Beyond phishing attempts targeting the fan base, researchers found
infrastructure aimed at event organizers. Fake career sites have
been set up to steal Google Workspace accounts and a weaponized
“employee handbook” PDF document was used to target staff at one host
city, according to Arctic Wolf.
The FBI in May warned that threat actors were conducting spoofing
attacks against the FIFA website. The spoofed websites may be used
to collect personal data, conduct monetary fraud or launch additional
attacks.

Hackers Finding Entry Points as
Companies Struggle to Keep Up With AI
Companies are failing to keep up with AI’s identity sprawl, creating
entry points for hackers
Three-quarters of organizations say
they aren’t fully overseeing the activities of user accounts belonging
to agents and other AI tools.
The rate of data breaches at companies that widely use AI tools is
significantly higher than the rate at companies that don’t — 43%
compared with 11% over the past 12 months — the identity security firm
Netwrix said in a report published on Wednesday.
AI tools such as agents significantly increase organizations’
“identity footprint,” creating more gaps that hackers can exploit,
Netwrix said. At the same time, Netwrix found, the companies using AI
the most widely are also the ones taking identity management the most
seriously.
Netwrix’s report highlights the security risks of the sprawling web
of user accounts and other identities that companies must create to
use agents, copilots and other AI tools.
“AI agents are now acting on behalf of humans against sensitive data,”
Netwrix researchers wrote. “Non-human identities need the same
operational rigor long applied to privileged human access.”
And yet many companies aren’t taking identity management seriously,
the report found. Roughly three-quarters lack “a single, unified view of
sensitive data and which identities have access to it,” researchers
said. More than half of organizations lack an up-to-date database of
sensitive data, 71% can’t quickly determine which identities can access
which data and 70% don’t have a security strategy linking data
protection with identity governance.
Identity management is far from a new challenge for enterprises, but AI
has magnified it, and companies are not always keeping pace.
Three-quarters of organizations aren’t fully overseeing what AI
identities are doing in their systems, even as 41% say they’re letting
AI agents access sensitive data and perform vital tasks.

Online Fraud Becoming Easier With AI
9 out of 10 people can no longer distinguish real from AI-generated
content
Online fraud is becoming harder to distinguish from legitimate activity
as AI-generated messages, voices, photos, reviews, and identities
become more convincing.
Nearly nine in ten adults say they can no longer tell what is real from
AI-generated content, according to the latest Malwarebytes survey.
The share increased from 66% in 2025 to 85% in 2026.
Half of respondents said they had encountered an AI-driven scam
during the past year. Personalized scam messages, manipulated
product reviews, AI-generated images, and voice impersonation were among
the experiences reported.
Identity abuse was another recurring theme in the survey. Some people
reported having their identities manipulated by AI, while others
described receiving voice-cloned calls that appeared to come from
someone they knew. Younger adults reported higher levels of exposure
than older age groups.
One respondent described receiving an AI-generated call that mimicked
the voice of someone familiar. “It was very frightening. Since then,
I am much more cautious with unknown numbers and no longer immediately
trust voice messages.”
Technology companies are introducing new safeguards to address the
problem. Google recently expanded Android’s scam detection
capabilities to help identify suspicious calls and protect users from
impersonation scams.

Returns Challenge Retailers
Returns Fraud Remains a Growing E-Commerce Challenge
Retailers Continue Refining Return
Policies to Balance Convenience and Risk
By
the D&D Daily staff
As e-commerce continues to play a significant role in retail sales,
many retailers are placing renewed attention on an operational challenge
that affects both profitability and customer experience: returns
management.
Online shopping has made returns easier and more convenient for
consumers, but it has also created new complexities for retailers.
Industry estimates show that online purchases are returned at
substantially higher rates than in-store purchases, creating additional
costs related to shipping, processing, inspection and restocking
merchandise.
Retailers face a balancing act. Consumers increasingly expect
flexible return options, including free returns, extended return windows
and convenient drop-off locations. At the same time, businesses must
manage the financial impact of growing return volumes and address forms
of abuse that can accompany those transactions.
One area receiving increased attention is returns fraud. Industry
experts have identified several tactics that can create losses for
retailers, including returning stolen merchandise, using counterfeit
receipts, wardrobing (purchasing items for temporary use before
returning them), and claims involving products that were never received.
To address these challenges, many retailers are investing in
technology and analytics designed to identify unusual return patterns
while allowing legitimate customer returns to proceed with minimal
friction. Data-driven tools can help retailers detect repeat abuse,
flag suspicious transactions and support investigations when organized
schemes are suspected.
Retailers are also evaluating return policies to ensure they
remain competitive while reducing unnecessary risk. Some organizations
have introduced more targeted return controls, while others have
expanded options such as in-store returns for online purchases, which
can lower shipping costs and create additional customer engagement
opportunities.
Loss prevention, fraud prevention and e-commerce teams are
increasingly collaborating on return-related strategies as the
volume of online transactions continues to grow. Their efforts often
focus on reducing fraud, improving operational efficiency and
maintaining a positive customer experience.
As digital commerce continues to evolve, returns management is
expected to remain a key area of focus for retailers seeking to
balance customer convenience with effective risk management and
operational performance.
Data Center Backlash
Americans wary of AI-driven data center boom, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows
Majority of Americans oppose local
data center construction, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Just one-in-three Americans approve of the fast pace of data-center
construction that supports artificial intelligence and most would
oppose building one in their own community, according to a new
Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The poll results reflect widespread public unease over the data
center boom in the United States, an issue high on the minds of
voters and political campaigns ahead of the November 3 midterm
elections.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has prioritized rapid AI
development, citing China as a competitive rival, and has directed
federal agencies to accelerate permitting for infrastructure tied to
the sector.
The six-day poll, which surveyed 4,531 people across the country and
closed on Monday, showed just 33% of Americans agreed with a
statement that it was mainly a good thing to build data centers at a
rapid pace. Some 64% disagreed.

Parkland, FL: Broward BJ’s employee had illegal side hustle, cops say:
Shipping stolen store goods across US
A BJ’s Wholesale Club employee is facing charges after Broward Sheriff’s
Office deputies said the company’s home office caught on to his illegal
side hustle: Stealing and selling store items. Deputies took John
Stevens, 52, of Boca Raton, into custody on Monday. According to
investigators, an anonymous tip alerted BJ’s management to a scheme in
which Stevens was stealing company merchandise and selling it for
profit, even shipping the goods directly from the store to the people he
was selling it to. Authorities said the thefts occurred between March
and June at the store at 5901 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Parkland. Stevens
was seen on surveillance camera taking merchandise from the sales floor,
bringing it to a shipping room and using the store’s UPS shipping
computer to send the goods to locations across the United States,
including his own home, according to an arrest form. Authorities said he
was advertising and selling the products on eBay and Facebook. Deputies
said Stevens shipped stolen property on 27 separate occasions and cost
the company around $10,000 in financial loss. He is facing charges of
grand theft of more than $10,000 but less than $20,000, organized
dealing in stolen property and 25 separate charges of dealing in stolen
property.
