Everon Whitepaper
A Layered Approach to Securing Retail Entrances Against Theft
Retailers across the nation are feeling the strain and profit
loss attributed to a rise in external theft hitting their stores. Taking
an active role in layering technology and updating policies and
procedures can help retailers stem the flow of activity and risk.
Shoplifting
has been around as long as shopping itself. What changes over the years
is the methods deployed by the thieves and the magnitude of the issue
for retailers’ bottom lines. As reported by a number of industry
associations, security suppliers and retailers, the COVID-19 pandemic
has played a significant role in increasing the frequency of more
violent types of crimes.
While no one solution or even combination of solutions will
completely eradicate shoplifting from our society, taking an active role
in layering technology and updating policies and procedures can help
retailers stem the flow of activity and risk. Active prevention methods
such as signage, visible camera technologies and public view monitors,
along with solutions designed to modify consumer behavior, can have an
impact on deterring crime across the retail industry.
Shoplifting, organized retail crime and social media-driven theft
impacts everyone—from the consumer to the retailer and the communities
where they operate—so a coordinated effort between retailers, their
security partners and law enforcement is an essential first step.

environment and minimize shrink in your stores, discover our

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Self-Checkout & ORC
Retailers Adjust as Offenders Manipulate Bagging Area Controls
By
the D&D Daily Staff
Retailers are reporting ongoing challenges tied to organized retail
crime (ORC) groups exploiting vulnerabilities in self-checkout systems,
particularly those tied to weight-based verification in bagging areas.
Many self-checkout stations rely on scales to confirm that scanned items
match what is placed in the bagging area. Loss prevention teams say
offenders are finding ways to bypass or manipulate these controls,
allowing items to go unscanned or be substituted with lower-cost
products.
In some cases, individuals scan a low-priced item while placing a
higher-value item in the bagging area, relying on similar weight
profiles to avoid triggering system alerts. In other instances,
offenders may intentionally disrupt the scale by applying pressure or
quickly removing items before discrepancies are flagged.
Industry professionals note that while these tactics are often
associated with individual shoplifting, there are indications that
organized groups are incorporating self-checkout manipulation into
broader theft strategies. This can include coordinated efforts where
multiple individuals use adjacent kiosks simultaneously, creating
confusion for store staff and reducing the likelihood of intervention.
Retailers say the issue is particularly challenging in high-volume
stores, where limited staffing at the front end can make it difficult to
monitor multiple self-checkout lanes at once. The balance between
maintaining a frictionless customer experience and enforcing tighter
controls continues to be a key concern.
In response, some retailers are increasing employee presence near
self-checkout areas, adjusting system sensitivity and implementing
AI-enabled computer vision tools to better detect scanning
irregularities in real time.
As self-checkout remains a central part of store operations, loss
prevention teams say continued refinement of both technology and
in-store processes will be necessary to address evolving ORC-related
risks tied to front-end systems.
How Lax Shoplifting Laws Embolden
Criminals
Editorial: Soft-on-shoplifting laws leading to increased private
surveillance
Lax laws on shoplifting, and modern prosecutorial approaches that often
result in dropped charges and excessive plea deals, ensure thieves
have little to fear.
To his credit, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced last
year that he was "co-leading a 38-state and territory bipartisan
coalition in urging Congress to take action to address the rise in
organized retail crime across the country," according to a statement
from his office, which added: "Organized retail crime has contributed to
financial losses totaling over $121 billion in the U.S., and 76 percent
of retail asset protection managers' report their employees have
suffered from violence at the hands of an organized retail criminal."
But while Mr. Tong noted that the coalition's sights were not set on
"run-of-the-mill shoplifting," that's exactly the kind of crime that
many state's laws, including Connecticut's, fail to take seriously.
Connecticut law generally classifies shoplifting as a misdemeanor
offense; to be charged with a Class D felony, one has to steal more than
$2,000 worth of merchandise. And how many misdemeanor and would-be
felony shoplifting charges are pleaded down or simply not pursued by
prosecutors?
Mr. Wentworth told The New York Post that "grappling with retail
theft was akin to a ‘hand-to-hand combat battle.'" That may have
been a metaphor, but putting body cameras on retail employees, even if
the workers can choose whether to wear them, is a recipe for real
hand-to-hand combat with angry shoplifters. Some problems don't demand
novel technological solutions – and it's not the private sector's job
to ensure the law is enforced, anyway.
Until fairly recently, the imposition of serious criminal penalties for
theft of all kinds was a longstanding historical norm. It's a norm
worth restoring.

'Operation Secure Store'
Positive Data Reveals NSSF and ATF’s Joint Operation Secure Store
Effective at Keeping Communities Safer
Across America, the country is seeing a historic drop in violent crime.
One factor contributing to such a monumental decline in violent crime is
a long-standing cooperative initiative between the firearm industry,
NSSF and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF),
known as
Operation Secure Store®.
New data from ATF reveals a 60 percent drop in the number of firearms
stolen during burglaries and robberies at Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs).
That also includes a more than 40 percent drop in the number of
incidents. Last year’s data shows the trend line continued on a
historic downward trajectory.
This data is great news. Fewer firearm thefts mean fewer illegally
obtained firearms in the hands of criminals who would misuse them to
commit acts of violence. The numbers of firearm thefts and burglaries
has dropped every year since Operation Secure Store (OSS) began,
except in 2021 during the nation-wide crime spike that occurred during
the heights of the COVID-19 pandemic and the defund-the-police movement.
The significant drop between 2024 and 2025 shows firearm retailers are
heeding the OSS message and are taking steps to protect their inventory
and make themselves less vulnerable to being the victim of a burglary.
Since Operation Secure Store began in 2017, over 40,000 FFL firearm
retailers have benefitted from NSSF’s OSS educational materials and
resources and that number grows monthly.
Compared to last year, 2025’s totals are encouraging. In calendar 2025,
there were a total of 181 firearm burglary incidents in the United
States, down from 318 in 2024. Altogether that amounted to 1,748
firearms stolen during a burglary last year compared to 4,389 firearms
stolen during a burglary in 2024.

Canada's Battle Against Retail Theft
As retail theft soars, some businesses are eyeing drastic measures
Tonight on Village Media's 'Closer
Look' podcast: Shoplifting has evolved into an organized crime that
costs Canadian businesses billions of dollars a year. Is it even
possible to turn the tide?
A
recent report found that retail crime in Canada “has escalated
into a national crisis” that costs businesses across the country a
whopping $9-billion a year.
The situation is so dire in Winnipeg that some businesses are
considering drastic measures — including asking customers to hand
over their ID before they shop, or demanding that diners pre-pay for
food.
On tonight’s episode of Village Media’s
Closer Look podcast, we revisit a timely interview with Rui
Rodrigues, a loss prevention advisor at the Retail Council of Canada.

Changing the Way Retail Pricing Works?
Walmart Draws a Line Between Smart Markdowns and Dynamic Pricing
Retailers today are operating under
intense margin pressure from multiple directions.
On
Wednesday (March 18), Walmart took aim at that challenge of offering
greater value without slimming down profits by securing U.S. patents
for two systems that would use machine learning to inform the company’s
pricing.
The two patents are among almost 50 that Walmart has secured from
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office since January, per the report. The
company has stressed that the patents, one of which is specific to
markdowns while the other enables human-led decisioning, are
“unrelated to dynamic pricing” and that the retailer “doesn’t
participate in surge pricing.”
What the two patents do reveal, however, is that, increasingly,
retail success is being determined not just by merchandising or scale,
but by the ability to optimize complex systems using data. Pricing,
inventory, logistics and customer engagement are becoming interconnected
components of a broader optimization problem.
Traditional retail pricing has often relied on historical patterns
and human judgment, supported by periodic adjustments. By contrast,
Walmart’s patented system appears designed to evaluate multiple
variables simultaneously and optimize markdown timing and depth across
different time horizons.

Tariffs' Impact on Retail
Survey: Tariff-led cost increases put pressure on small businesses
Pessimism is growing among the small-business community, as a
majority of owners say the economy is worse now compared to a year ago.
That’s according to a new survey from the National Small Business
Association (NSBA), which found that increased costs and economic
insecurity are having an impact on growth for smaller enterprises.
The survey found that the number of small businesses that reported an
increase in revenues over the past year was at its lowest point in more
than a decade.
The majority of small businesses say they have incurred increased costs
in the past year. Among those, roughly three-quarters (74%) say those
cost increases are due to tariffs. Nearly half of small businesses
say they believe the current trade and tariff policy is on the wrong
track.

ICE Agents Headed to Airports
What’s ahead as Trump threatens to send ICE agents to airports while TSA
workers go unpaid during shutdown
As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents
work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid,
President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he
will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by
Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government
shutdown.
The Trump administration has not clarified what shape ICE agents’ roles
would take at airports since they’re not trained to perform security
screenings, and TSA screeners are required to undergo months of
training. CNN has reached out to the White House and the Department
of Homeland Security, which includes TSA, for comment.
As leaders in both parties try to work out a deal to fund DHS, which
includes 61,000 TSA employees who have been working without paychecks,
there are few signs the impasse will break soon on Capitol Hill before a
scheduled recess.

ORC Micro-Thefts
How ORC Groups Are Using
“Micro-Thefts” to Map Store Vulnerabilities
By
the D&D Daily staff
Organized retail crime (ORC) groups are increasingly using small,
low-value thefts to test store security before carrying out larger
coordinated theft operations.
Loss prevention professionals say these “micro-thefts” allow
offenders to observe store procedures, security coverage and employee
response without drawing significant attention. Instead of
immediately attempting to steal large quantities of merchandise,
offenders may take one or two items at a time while monitoring how
employees react.
In many cases, individuals will visit the same store multiple times
over several days or weeks. During these visits, they may test
whether merchandise is protected by electronic article surveillance (EAS)
tags, observe camera placement and determine whether staff intervene or
report incidents.
Some offenders may return wearing different clothing or arrive with
different companions to see whether employees recognize them or
communicate prior incidents internally.
Retail security professionals say the tactic mirrors reconnaissance
strategies used in other forms of organized crime. By gathering
information gradually, offenders can identify the most effective time,
location and approach for a larger theft event.
Technology has also made the process easier. Offenders may use
smartphones to document store layouts or communicate observations with
other members of the group through messaging apps.
The information collected during these visits can then be used to
plan coordinated thefts involving multiple offenders, rapid
merchandise removal or concealment tools such as booster bags.
Loss prevention teams are increasingly encouraged to review incident
data for patterns involving repeated low-value thefts at the same
location or within the same region.
While a single minor theft may appear insignificant, security experts
say repeated incidents can sometimes signal organized activity
developing behind the scenes. Recognizing those early warning signs
can help retailers identify ORC threats before they escalate into larger
losses.

AI Cybersecurity Not Yet Paying Off?
Companies know AI is essential for cyber defense but aren’t yet seeing
returns
The maturity of organizations’ AI
oversight also varies significantly, according to a new EY survey of
cybersecurity leaders.
Corporate cybersecurity leaders believe AI will be essential to their
missions, but, so far, few are seeing big gains from agentic security
products, according to a new EY survey.
With AI governance dominating C-suite agendas, the survey released on
Thursday found that companies are making progress in integrating risk
management frameworks into their operations, even if those ways of
thinking have yet to fully permeate corporate cultures.
The survey findings prompted EY to make four high-level recommendations
to businesses still deciding how to adopt and use AI for cybersecurity.
Businesses are avidly pursuing the automation of routine
cybersecurity functions, EY found, believing that doing so will
address both budgetary and effectiveness concerns around security
operations.
“Nearly all security leaders believe AI is a core defensive solution
for cybersecurity (96%) and are already deploying AI in cybersecurity
operations (95%),” EY said. But two-thirds of executives said they
were still testing AI products.
Cybersecurity leaders are equally optimistic and concerned about AI, in
different ways. Nearly all respondents (99%) predicted that AI would
completely overhaul how they defended their networks, but a
similarly large number (96%) said AI also posed a major threat because
of how it helped hackers launch fast, sophisticated cyberattacks.

Global Fight Against Botnets
US, allies move to dismantle four high-volume IoT botnets
The armies of hacked computers and
internet of things gadgets powered disruption and extortion campaigns
that sometimes cost victims tens of thousands of dollars.
The U.S., Canada and Germany on Thursday took steps to dismantle four
internet of things botnets responsible for massive distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks around the world.
As part of the operation, the Defense Department inspector general’s
Defense Criminal Investigative Service seized U.S.-registered virtual
private servers, web domains and other systems that powered the Aisuru,
KimWolf, JackSkid and Mossad IoT botnets, the Justice Department said in
a statement.
Cyber criminals used the botnets to infect millions of machines,
according to prosecutors, especially IoT devices such as routers and
webcams.
“As of March 2026, the number of infected devices hijacked worldwide
by the botnet administrators exceeded three million, with hundreds
of thousands of infected devices located in the United States,” the DOJ
said.

Fake AI songs streamed billions of times, netting fraudster $10 million
Michael Smith, 54, of Cornelius, North Carolina, has pleaded guilty in
federal court to running a scheme that exploited music streaming
platforms and diverted royalty payments from artists. He admitted to
one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum
sentence of five years in prison, and agreed to forfeit $8,091,843.64.
According to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay
Clayton, Smith used AI to generate hundreds of thousands of songs and
deployed automated programs to stream them billions of times,
inflating play counts.
Court filings state the scheme ran from 2017 through 2024. Smith
uploaded large volumes of AI-generated tracks and used automated
accounts to generate streams at scale. At points, the operation relied
on thousands of bot accounts running at once, redirecting royalty
payments from artists and rights holders. helpnetsecurity.com

Online Shopping's Future
The future of online shopping baskets in the era of agentic AI checkout
Agentic checkout represents a
watershed moment. Michaela Weber discusses how the right payment
strategy can make or break the buyer experience in a digital economy
shaped by speed, choice and trust?
For more than two decades, the online checkout has been the heartbeat
of eCommerce. The ‘buy now’ prompt buttons, payment forms and
confirmation pages are an ordinary sight for many shoppers. But what
happens when the shopper is no longer human?
Welcome to the age of agentic commerce, where AI agents can browse,
compare, negotiate and complete purchases on behalf of consumers and
businesses. This isn’t a theoretical concept, but a reality.
Recent research shows 27% of UK consumers have already used AI tools
in product discovery, rising to 47% among Millennial shoppers and 46%
among Gen Z shoppers. While agentic checkout flows without a
human-in-the-loop are currently rare, some consumer use cases such as
booking travel are gaining traction.
In this new agentic commerce world, checkout moves into an ongoing flow
of agent-to-agent interactions. To prepare for the checkout revolution,
brands need to ensure their experiences are not only optimised for
customers, but also for agents.
Designing for algorithms, not just eyeballs
As AI agents increasingly decide what to buy on behalf of customers,
the checkout procedure has become just as important as product
discovery. For most brands, this starts with the basics; ensuring
pricing, store catalogues and key data can be understood by AI systems
through structured data and well-documented APIs.
AI agents rely on rich and organised product data to compare final
costs, delivery timelines and return policies before completing a final
purchase. It also provides and emphasises intelligent availability
checks, currency, shipping calculations and payment eligibility at
checkout.
A brand’s catalogue also needs to provide accuracy, such as inventory
availability and correct pricing. Once these components are all in
place, agents will soon crawl checkout pages the way search engines
crawl web pages, rewarding clarity, consistency and reliability.
In an agentic world, loyalty becomes algorithmic at checkout, rather
than emotional. AI assistants will favour brands with properly
organised data and predictable pricing. If checkout processes aren’t
strong and reliable, agents can’t transact efficiently.

OpenAI's Second Wave of Online
Shopping
OpenAI's first crack at online shopping stumbled. It's preparing for the
next wave
Tech companies and retailers have
been investing heavily in AI e-commerce tools with the hopes that more
users will adopt them when shopping online.
When OpenAI announced its Instant Checkout feature last fall,
retailers sprang into action.
Etsy, Walmart and Shopify quickly lined up to let users buy merchants’
products directly within its ChatGPT chatbot. Suddenly, the e-commerce
world was fixated on shopping agents, the artificial intelligence tools
that can make purchases on behalf of users.
Shopify President Harley Finkelstein called it the “new frontier” for
online retail. Several months later, OpenAI and its retail partners
have headed back to the drawing board.
The AI startup is moving away from Instant Checkout and is now
working with retailers to create dedicated apps within ChatGPT. This
approach will reroute users to the retailer’s own website to complete a
purchase, giving those companies more control of the customer experience
and the transaction process.

Winnipeg, MB, Canada: Ringleader, serial shoplifter arrested in power tool theft
probes: Winnipeg police
Winnipeg police say they've arrested the alleged leader of a retail theft crime
ring, accusing him of having a hand in recruiting several shoplifters to steal
brand-name power tools. A 37-year-old man was taken into custody Thursday
following an investigation that began in June 2025, when police received
information an individual was recruiting others to steal items from home
improvement stores, a news release issued Saturday said. Police allege the
37-year-old routinely used text messaging and social media to speak with the
recruited shoplifters. Investigators seized his phone as evidence on Dec. 9, but
the man was not charged pending the results of a phone search, they said. The
man was charged with trafficking in property obtained by crime over $5,000. He's
been released on an undertaking and is slated to appear in court at a later
date, the release said. Police said in a separate news release Saturday a
36-year-old man has also been arrested in connection to a string of thefts
involving power tools at multiple home improvement stores in the city. The 23
shoplifting incidents — which happened in a three-month-period ending on March
12, the day the man was arrested — all involved the theft of brand-name tools
and power tools, police said. The property was worth a total of $12,645,
according to the release.
