The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


C-Store Violence Prevention Strategies
Convenience Stores and the Evolving Challenge of Retail Violence


By the D&D Daily staff

As retail violence continues to impact businesses across the country, convenience stores remain one of the most vulnerable segments in the industry. Open late hours, limited staffing, cash-heavy transactions, fuel operations and high customer turnover create a unique risk environment that loss prevention and safety teams continue to navigate in 2026.

Unlike larger retail formats with expansive security infrastructure and multiple layers of management, convenience stores often operate with lean staffing models — particularly during overnight shifts. In many locations, a single employee may be responsible for customer service, stocking, cash handling and monitoring the sales floor simultaneously. That combination can increase exposure to robberies, aggressive behavior and confrontational theft incidents.

Industry experts say one of the biggest challenges is the unpredictability of incidents. While organized theft remains a concern, many violent events at convenience stores stem from impulsive behavior, disputes, intoxication or emotionally charged interactions. Situations involving denied sales, payment issues or suspected shoplifting can escalate quickly, especially during late-night hours.

To address these risks, many convenience store operators are reevaluating both physical security and operational strategy. Enhanced camera coverage, improved exterior lighting, time-delay safes and controlled cash access remain foundational tools. Some retailers are also expanding the use of remote monitoring centers capable of identifying suspicious activity in real time and assisting store personnel during emergencies.

Employee training has become another major focus area. Retailers are increasingly emphasizing de-escalation techniques, conflict avoidance and policies designed to reduce direct confrontation with suspects. In some cases, stores are redesigning checkout layouts or repositioning high-risk merchandise to improve visibility and reduce opportunities for theft-related encounters.

Technology is also playing a growing role. AI-assisted analytics can help identify repeat offenders, loitering patterns or unusual activity around fuel pumps and entrances. Meanwhile, panic alert systems and wearable communication devices are being explored as additional tools to support employee safety.

While no single solution can eliminate risk entirely, convenience store operators continue adapting their loss prevention strategies around one central priority: creating safer environments for both employees and customers without disrupting the speed and accessibility that define the format.


'Biggest Crime-Fighting Shake Up in Decades'
UK: New bill to help protect retail workers

This is one of the biggest crime-fighting shake ups in decades as the government has delivered a series of measures to tackle retail crime

Police have now gained new powers to tackle local crime as the landmark Crime and Policing Bill received Royal Assent last week. As reported on back in March, over 14 million people across the UK have witnessed violence or abuse against retail workers in the past year, according to BRC-Opinium survey data.

With retailers spending an estimated £5 billion fighting retail crime over the past five years, including CCTV, more security personnel, anti-theft devices and body worn cameras, the government have responded.

CEO of the BRC Helen Dickinson says this is a long-overdue turning point in the fight against retail crime. “With 1,600 incidents of violence and abuse every single day and 5.5 million thefts a year, the extraordinary levels of retail crime cannot be accepted as simply part of the job,” she says.

“The BRC, alongside others, have campaigned relentlessly for these changes. Stronger laws on assault and theft will send a clear warning to would-be offenders, but laws alone won’t keep retail workers safe.

Implementation must be swift: the police need to use the full extent of these powers, while stepping up their presence in stores, so that anyone assaulting our colleagues or stealing from stores faces the full force of the law.”

New powers for police and the wider criminal justice system will help realise this government’s mission to restore confidence in policing and to tackle the epidemic of serious violence, as well as violence against women and girls.

Minister for Crime and Policing Sarah Jones said: “This is the biggest overhaul of our crime‑fighting powers in a generation." watchpro.com


Retail Crime Is Becoming More Violent
Violent retail thefts with thieves using guns and knives are on the rise in Illinois

1 in 7 Retail Crime Incidents Involve Violence, Increase Largely Driven by Repeat Offenders

If you've ever wondered why the teeth whitening kit or mach-3 razors are behind a locked case?

They are items thieves like to steal. And now, the Illinois Retail Merchants Association says one in seven retail crime incidents involve violence. Rob Karr, President and CEO of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, told KMOX about another disturbing fact. "That's up 7% from last year. Most common objects used are firearms followed by knives and blades."

KMOX's Maria Keena asked if these are primarily young people committing these acts of violence.

"It's everybody across the board," Karr responded. "Young people to older people...whoever's in their way. These groups are very aggressive and are after what they're after."

And what are they after?

"Sometimes they literally have shopping lists. So it might be high-end items but it could also be teeth whitening items, it could be certain make-ups, it just depends on what's hot and trendy at the moment. What they could easily resell. And then use those funds to fund other illicit programs such as human trafficking, drugs, guns..."   audacy.com


California's Anti-Theft Debate Continues
Mixed reviews on Prop. 36: The measure targeted repeat theft, drug offenders
Proposition 36 is getting mixed reviews nearly 18 months after it was passed. Supporters say it has been effective in punishing repeat offenders, particularly for drug crimes and petty theft. Critics say it targets people who commit "crimes of poverty" and it has failed to provide adequate treatment for those who need it.

The backstory: Prop. 36, which passed in November 2024, promised California voters a new era of “mass treatment” for people struggling with addiction and a crackdown on repeat petty thieves amid a spike in retail theft.

Hot debate: The debate around the measure, called “The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act,” was fueled in part by a series of videotaped smash-and-grab robberies splashed across local TV news and images of unhoused residents shooting up drugs in the streets.

The numbers: In 2025, California prosecutors filed more than 19,000 Prop. 36 felony drug cases and more than 15,500 felony theft cases, according to a study by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice released in March.

Jail population: In Los Angeles County alone, there are about 1,150 individuals in jail because of Prop. 36 — about a 9% increase in the jail population, according to county Public Defender Ricardo Garcia. laist.com

Workplace Injury Data - Progress & Red Flags
Injury Rate Declines, But Healing Takes Longer

Travelers survey finds workers are still missing an average of 80 workdays.

The good news is that injuries are declining. The not-so-good news is that it's taking longer for people to heal. This is according to a new survey from insurance company Travelers.

The reason for the longer healing time is both the aging workforce and the disproportionate vulnerability of first-year employees.

The 2026 Injury Impact Report is an analysis of more than 1.2 million workers' compensation claims received by the company from 2021 through 2025.

“The decrease in workplace injuries is a positive story, yet injured workers are still missing an average of 80 workdays,” said Claude Howard, vice president of workers' compensation claims at Travelers.

“This report is a reminder that progress doesn’t mean the risk environment requires any less attention, and an employer’s commitment to safety must keep pace with an ever-evolving workforce and injury landscape.” ehstoday.com


Which Retailers Will Be Most Resilient During Uncertainty?
Walmart, Costco poised to win amid unfavorable retail environment

Moody’s is maintaining a negative outlook for the industry in 2026 as high prices and dwindling consumer demand pressure retailers.

Moody’s Ratings is maintaining its negative outlook for the global retail and apparel sector due to high prices, cautious consumers and, in the U.S., a sluggish labor market, according to an April 28 report.

Excluding online sales, Moody’s said the sector’s worldwide adjusted EBIT is expected to remain flat or decline 2% in 2026, after a 1.6% decline last year. At the same time, a fragile consumer base is looking for value and convenience despite dwindling affordability, which means retailers are constrained when it comes to raising prices, in spite of rising supply-side costs.

The emphasis on value and convenience bodes well for large chains including Walmart, Costco and Target in the U.S. In North America, consumers battling inflation will also turn to dollar stores and off-price apparel retailers including TJX, Ross Stores and Burlington. retaildive.com


The AI Shopping Shift is Growing
The 2026 holiday shopper is more deliberate and increasingly AI-guided
Consumers are approaching holiday shopping with a sharper focus on value, taking more time to compare options and make deliberate choices, often with the help of AI tools. For brands, this shift changes what will drive results at the tail end of the year.

Success will depend less on big promotional moments and more on showing up consistently, offering clear value, and making it easy for shoppers to move from consideration to purchase at their own pace.

More than half of US consumers (53%) said they felt financially comfortable during the 2025 holiday season, and nearly as many (47%) expect their financial comfort to improve in 2026, according to Similarweb’s 2026 Holiday Planning report. content-naf.emarketer.com

Interface Systems Introduces Digital Keys to Simplify Access Control

Mobile wallet credentials help multi-location businesses reduce key management costs, streamline employee access, and strengthen security


St. Louis, MO – May 6, 2026Interface Systems, a leading provider of AI-powered security and expert remote video monitoring for restaurants, retailers, and commercial businesses, today announced the launch of its Digital Keys a mobile credential solution for Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) access control systems. Digital Keys enables businesses to replace traditional cards, fobs, and physical keys with secure mobile credentials stored directly in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

Designed for retailers, quick-service restaurants, and other distributed enterprises, Digital Keys simplifies access management by allowing administrators to issue, update, schedule, and revoke employee, contractor, and vendor credentials remotely through the DMP Virtual Keypad application. Credentials can be delivered instantly by text or email and added directly to a user’s mobile wallet, without requiring employees to download a separate credential app. For businesses managing high employee turnover, multiple locations, temporary contractors, and lost or unreturned keys, Digital Keys reduces the operational burden of physical credential management while improving control over who can access each location.

Key benefits include:

Tap-to-unlock access: Using Near Field Communication (NFC), the same standard used for tap-to-pay transactions, Digital Keys allow authorized users to unlock doors with a smartphone or smartwatch. Credentials can continue to function even when the phone’s battery is low.

Lower key and badge management costs: Administrators can issue or deactivate credentials remotely, helping reduce the time, cost, and operational burden of shipping badges, recovering keys, replacing lost fobs, or rekeying doors.

Stronger accountability: Mobile credentials are assigned to individual users, making them harder to share, lose, or misuse than traditional keys or badges.

Greater visibility: When combined with video integrations, businesses can connect credential activity with recorded footage to verify who accessed a facility and when.

Temporary access control: Contractors, vendors, and temporary employees can be granted access for a defined period, with credentials scheduled to expire automatically.

Phased modernization: Multi-technology readers support NFC credentials alongside existing cards and fobs, allowing organizations to modernize access control at their own pace while preserving prior infrastructure investments.

“Retailers, restaurant operators, and commercial businesses need access control that keeps pace with employee turnover, distributed locations, and evolving security expectations,” said Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems. “Digital Keys gives them a practical way to reduce dependence on physical credentials while improving control over who can access each location. Administrators can issue, modify, or revoke access remotely, helping businesses lower costs, reduce risk, and respond faster when employees, vendors, or contractors change.”

The Interface Digital Keys solution is available for customers using DMP access control systems. To learn more about Digital Keys, visit: https://interfacesystems.com/managed-alarms-access-control/managed-access-control/

Edge Password Memory Exposure
REVEALED: Microsoft Edge Stores Passwords In Memory As Plaintext
An attacker who has administrative privileges can access Microsoft Edge user passwords—even when they aren’t actively being used—because the browser keeps them in cleartext within process memory as part of a design choice by Microsoft.

A newly disclosed cybersecurity finding has raised concerns among IT professionals and enterprise administrators after researchers revealed that Microsoft Edge loads all saved user passwords into plaintext process memory immediately upon launch—regardless of whether those credentials are ever used during the session.

The discovery, published on April 29 by Palo Alto Networks researchers in Norway and highlighted by the independent platform BigBiteOfTech, stems from a broader comparative analysis of Chromium-based browsers. The research was led by a security analyst operating under the alias “L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N,” who examined how different browsers handle credential storage and decryption in memory.

A Design Decision That Raises Security Questions

According to the findings, Edge stands apart from its competitors by decrypting the entire password vault at startup and retaining those credentials in cleartext within the browser’s active memory for the duration of the session.

This behavior contrasts sharply with Google Chrome, which uses a more restrictive model known as on-demand decryption. In Chrome, stored credentials are only decrypted when needed—such as during autofill or when a user explicitly chooses to view a password.

Chrome also employs an additional safeguard called App-Bound Encryption, which ties decryption keys to the authenticated browser process. This mechanism helps prevent unauthorized applications from reusing those keys to extract stored credentials.

Edge, by comparison, does not currently implement either of these protections. As a result, once the browser is opened, every saved username and password becomes accessible in plaintext to any process capable of reading its memory. linkedin.com


Fake Sign-In Pages Trick Microsoft Account Owners
Microsoft: Phishing campaign used fake compliance notices to compromise employee accounts
Phishers have been using fake workplace compliance notices to try to trick Microsoft account owners into signing in via a fake sign-in page, says the company’s Defender Research team.

The email campaign targeted more than 35,000 users across 13,000 organizations in 26 countries, but concentrated primarily on targets in the United States. Microsoft didn’t say how many fell for the lure and had their account compromised.

From inbox to account takeover

The campaign, which ran in waves between April 14 and 16, 2026, impersonated internal HR and compliance communications, sending emails with subject lines such as “Internal case log issued under conduct policy” and “Reminder: employer opened a non-compliance case log.”

Display names like “Internal Regulatory COC” and “Workforce Communications” gave the messages the appearance of legitimate internal communications. Each email also included a notice claiming the message had been “issued through an authorized internal channel” and that all links and attachments had been “reviewed and approved for secure access.”

Finally, a green banner at the foot of each email falsely indicated the contents had been encrypted using Paubox, a real service associated with HIPAA-compliant communications.

Victims who opened the attached PDF were directed to click a “Review Case Materials” link, which kicked off a complex multi-stage redirect chain. These captured tokens allowed the attackers to access the victims’ account without knowing their password or possessing their second factor. helpnetsecurity.com

E-Commerce Return Fraud Trends
The New Return-to-Resale Pipeline: How E-Commerce Fraud Is Evolving


By the D&D Daily staff

As retailers continue expanding their e-commerce operations, loss prevention teams are facing a growing challenge that goes beyond traditional shoplifting or organized retail crime: the rise of sophisticated return-to-resale fraud schemes.

Industry experts say some fraud groups are increasingly exploiting online return policies by purchasing high-demand products, returning counterfeit, damaged, or entirely different items, and then quickly reselling the legitimate merchandise through third-party marketplaces, social commerce platforms, and peer-to-peer apps.

The trend is creating operational and financial pressure for retailers already managing tight margins and high fulfillment costs.

Unlike conventional return fraud, many of these schemes operate at scale and leverage the speed and anonymity of modern e-commerce ecosystems. Fraudsters may use multiple identities, temporary email accounts, stolen payment credentials, or even AI-generated customer profiles to avoid detection. In some cases, organized groups coordinate purchases across several retailers simultaneously before inventory shortages or refund anomalies are identified.

Retailers are also seeing increased abuse involving “item not received” claims, empty box scams, and wardrobing — where merchandise is purchased, briefly used, and then returned for a refund.

Loss prevention professionals say the challenge is compounded by the pressure retailers face to maintain frictionless online shopping experiences. Faster refunds and lenient return policies can improve customer satisfaction, but they may also create opportunities for abuse when verification controls are inconsistent.

To combat these risks, many retailers are investing in more advanced return analytics and cross-channel fraud monitoring tools. Artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms are increasingly being used to identify suspicious purchasing patterns, repeat refund activity, mismatched shipping data, and high-risk customer accounts.

Some retailers are also reevaluating return windows, tightening verification requirements for high-value items, and expanding partnerships between LP, e-commerce, cybersecurity, and supply chain teams.

At the same time, industry observers caution that retailers must balance fraud prevention with customer experience. Overly restrictive policies can frustrate legitimate shoppers and negatively impact brand loyalty.

As e-commerce continues evolving, retailers may find that the next major battleground in loss prevention is not only at the store exit — but also at the returns dock, fulfillment center, and digital marketplace.


Amazon Just Launched What Could Be Its Most Disruptive Business Since AWS
Amazon, the free two-day shipping pioneer that got Americans hooked on ultra-fast delivery, ramped up the corporate delivery wars when it launched a new one-hour shipping option two months ago. Now, the $2.9 trillion e-commerce giant wants to export that signature speed to other companies.

Amazon announced it launched a new division of the company called Amazon Supply Chain Services, which will white-label the company’s freight, distribution, fulfillment, warehouse storage, and shipping network for businesses. With this new thirty-party logistics service, Amazon says it will be targeting companies of all sizes and in a variety of sectors, including retail, manufacturing, health care, and auto. ASCS will be able to ship raw materials as well as finished products.

The pitch has already landed with major brands, such as Procter & Gamble, American Eagle, Lands’ End, and 3M, which have signed on as clients. Amazon sounds confident that more will follow. The company called this new B2B offering a major growth opportunity, particularly as it continues to invest in its artificial intelligence capabilities. inc.com
