The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Security Savvy Retailers Can Curb
ORC
Retailers Are Facing a New Wave of Theft and It’s More Organized Than
Ever
Professional theft rings, fraudulent
returns and cybercrime are just some of the ways retailers can be
impacted.
 Organized
crime can hit an independent retailers in the form of a ring of
professional shoplifters or a group of hackers who infiltrate your web
site and steal sensitive data. Fraudulent bar code labels, cargo
theft, loss of merchandise from shipping docks and false returns of
goods are all part of the ORC threat. Altogether, the FBI estimates that
ORC costs retailers $30 billion in losses annually in 2009 – and that is
projected to exceed $53 billion by 2027.
ORC are large-scale crimes that frequently involve professional
thefts of merchandise for resale rather than personal use. The sale of
stolen goods is often related to narcotics distribution, organized crime
and money laundering. About 15 percent of all merchandise returns are
estimated to be fraudulent, often involving returning stolen goods for
refunds.
One tactic that is on the rise is flash mob shoplifting, also
called “flash robs.” A group of individuals come into a store and
overwhelm the staff before stealing electronics and other easily resold
luxury items. There’s video on YouTube showing a Houston Lululemon store
that was hit by this type of crime an astounding 51 times in six months.
Clearly this is not a problem that is easily solved, even by
greeting customers when they enter the store and checking back with them
often. This may help, however, with a smaller number of professional
shoplifters. Try to never have just one person working in your store and
train your staff about what to do when they see suspicious behavior.
Professional thieves sometimes work an entire neighborhood, or mall,
when they come to town. Do you have a system in place to notify your
fellow business owners immediately when you see this activity happening?
You’ll also want to establish a partnership with law enforcement in your
area. Inviting a liaison from your police department to meet with you
and your fellow businesses can help you be certain you are doing all you
can to prevent being victimized.
One positive change from 15 years ago is the lower cost of
surveillance video equipment. These may not deter crime but can be
useful in evidence gathering. Make sure your door locks and restricted
areas are secure to prevent unauthorized entrances or exits. Visit the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce “Combating Organized Retail Theft” site for
more ideas.
No one likes to think about crime, organized or disorganized, being a
part of a shopkeeper’s life. But you owe it to the long-term success
of your business to be security savvy.

Cargo Theft Continues to Evolve
Organized Crime Incidents Shift Cargo Theft Patterns
Estimated losses held steady at
$131.58 million, while confirmed cargo theft reports increased to 596
cases.
Verisk CargoNet reported 767 supply chain crime events across the
U.S. and Canada in Q1 2026, a 5.3% decrease year-over-year (Y/Y).
Despite fewer incidents, estimated losses held steady at $131.58
million, while confirmed cargo theft reports increased to 596 cases.
Geographic Shift Toward Organized Activity
CargoNet said activity declined in several regions but increased in
areas associated with organized crime networks. The report noted a
shift away from opportunistic theft in regions such as Texas toward more
targeted operations in major logistics hubs, including California and
the New York metropolitan area.
Cargo Targets Continue to Evolve
CargoNet said theft patterns are changing based on ease of resale.
Personal care and beauty products saw a significant increase, rising
from 18 to 50 incidents, driven by demand for cosmetics and fragrances.
Food and beverage remained the most targeted category at 144 events,
though beverage theft declined while seafood theft increased.
Impersonation Tactics Expand
“The overall drop in incident volume is encouraging, but the
underlying data tells a more complex story,” said Keith Lewis, vice
president of operations at Verisk CargoNet. CargoNet said
impersonation-based fraud is becoming more systematic, with criminal
networks using two primary methods: Credential theft through phishing
and system access and acquisition of legitimate motor carrier businesses.
These tactics allow criminals to operate under trusted identities,
accept loads, and redirect shipments.

Using ALPR to Curb Retail Crime
Walmart confirms ‘automatic’ anti theft measure before shoppers even
enter their stores – as new systems installed
 Walmart
shoppers could be screened by an “automatic” anti-theft system before
they even step inside stores. New Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR)
cameras have now been installed near a store in Nevada as part of a
crackdown on crime.
The Churchill County Sherriff’s Office said the ALPR cameras capture
images of license plates on vehicles traveling on public roads.
The system then automatically checks plates against law enforcement
databases linked to criminal activity including Amber Alerts, Silver
Alerts, stolen vehicles, missing persons cases and wanted suspects.
Authorities said the technology “helps officers quickly identify
vehicles connected to crimes, improving response times and public
safety.”
The Sherriff’s office stressed the cameras only capture “license plate
numbers and basic vehicle information” and are used “strictly for
legitimate law enforcement purposes”.
Officials also pushed back on fears over privacy concerns. The Churchill
County Sheriff’s Office said ALPR systems “do not track individuals,
access personal driver information, or monitor people beyond what is
visible on a public roadway.”

Home Depot & Lowe's Also Using License
Plate Readers
Stores installing cameras with license-plate readers in effort to combat
retail theft
There is controversy surrounding a new crime prevention technology
being used outside stores, including Home Depot and Lowe's. The
companies are installing special cameras in some parking lots that are
equipped with automated license-plate readers.
The goal is to boost safety and more easily track down any thieves.
It's not yet known exactly which locations will have the cameras.
This comes after a string of crimes at Home Depot stores, including a
theft ring that targeted stores in four Philadelphia-area counties last
year. Both Home Depot and Lowe's tell ABC News they do not share any
information with third parties.

'Click & Mortar': Storefronts
Transform Into Digital Hubs
Storefront Overhauls Turn Retailers Into Data Hubs
As retailers grapple with pressures on discretionary spending and
shifting shopping habits, the challenges are mounting to get shoppers
through the doors, and then to keep them moving through aisles, engaging
digitally and ultimately converting visits into purchases.
The modern storefront is increasingly becoming a technology platform
designed to merge physical commerce with digital engagement in real
time.
That evolution is showing up in both retailer spending plans and
consumer expectations. PYMNTS recently reported that major chains
including Walmart, Target and Dollar General are investing heavily in
store remodels aimed at strengthening connections between physical
stores and digital commerce ecosystems. Though some of the
initiatives are cosmetic in nature, other prongs of the strategies tie
in to a broader shift toward stores functioning as fulfillment hubs. A
melding of in-store visits and digital features yield myriad data
collection points that help fine tune operations.
PYMNTS Intelligence data shows consumers are increasingly embracing
what the company calls “Click-and-Mortar™” shopping experiences,
where digital tools are integrated directly into physical retail
journeys. Nearly one-third of U.S. consumers now actively engage in
digitally assisted in-store or pickup-based shopping experiences, while
Click-and-Mortar™ shoppers have grown 35% since 2020.
The data suggests that retailers are responding to a shopper who
increasingly expects stores to operate like extensions of mobile apps.
Customer satisfaction rises 65% for shoppers using digitally assisted
in-store experiences compared to traditional in-store shopping.
Consumers are also demanding consistency between online and physical
shopping environments, particularly around payments, promotions and
inventory visibility.

Retail Jobs Disappearing in Canada
Canadian Retailers Keep Expanding, So Why Are Jobs Disappearing?
While Canadian retailers continue to announce store openings,
expansion plans, and healthy consumer demand in many retail categories,
retail employment trends are moving in the opposite direction,
creating growing questions about whether retailers are quietly
redesigning their operations to function with fewer employees.
Statistics Canada reported that employment in wholesale and retail trade
declined by 27,000 positions in April, following a similar decline in
March. The back-to-back declines came despite ongoing retail
expansion activity across the country and continued investment in
stores, shopping centre redevelopments, and new retail concepts.
For Suzanne Sears, founder of Best Retail Careers Canada, the
imbalance no longer makes sense.
“We continue hearing about expansion, growth,
and strong performance, yet retailers are still reducing staff,”
Sears said in an interview with Retail Insider. “Something about the
numbers simply doesn’t line up.”
The situation is becoming increasingly difficult for retail staffing
professionals to interpret. After years of industry discussions
around experiential retail, elevated customer service, and the
importance of physical shopping environments, many retailers now appear
to be operating with leaner staffing models while continuing to invest
heavily in brick-and-mortar growth.
Ontario posted the largest provincial employment decline overall,
while unemployment in Toronto climbed higher than many expected for a
city traditionally viewed as Canada’s economic engine.
At the same time, many retailers continue publicly discussing
expansion plans, new locations, and long-term investment in stores.

Retail's Hiring Spree Continues - 22K
Jobs Added in April
Retailers are on a hiring spree. But consumers are sending warning signs
The retail trades added nearly
22,000 jobs in April, accounting for almost one-fifth of total job
growth.
Retailers are ramping up hiring this year, defying economic concerns
as consumers keep shopping.
The retail trades added nearly 22,000 jobs in April, accounting for
almost one-fifth of total job growth, according to preliminary
federal data released Friday. Nearly 15.5 million employees now hold
retail industry jobs, the most since July 2024.
Consumers have kept their wallets open in the face of war in Iran,
higher gasoline prices, faster inflation and President Donald Trump’s
tariff policy. Lately, a solid consumer has left retailers confident
enough to hire more workers to stock shelves or staff cash registers.
“This still shows how resilient spending has been, even amid a lot of
the uncertainty,” said Cory Stahle, senior economist at job search
platform Indeed. “It’s an encouraging sign for the industry and for the
economy more broadly.”

AI Strengthens Retail Cybersecurity
How retailers are using AI to defend against cyberattacks and data
breaches
By the D&D Daily staff
 As
retailers continue expanding e-commerce operations, mobile apps,
self-checkout systems and cloud-based infrastructure, cybersecurity
threats are becoming more sophisticated and more expensive. Industry
reports show ransomware, phishing campaigns and credential theft
remain among the biggest risks facing retail organizations.
To help address those threats, many retailers are increasingly
turning to artificial intelligence-driven cybersecurity tools
designed to identify suspicious activity before it escalates into a
breach.
One of the biggest advantages of AI-based security systems is speed.
Traditional cybersecurity tools often rely on pre-programmed rules or
known threat signatures. AI systems, by contrast, can continuously
analyze network behavior, employee login patterns, payment activity and
device traffic to detect anomalies in real time.
For example, AI platforms can flag unusual employee account access,
identify suspicious vendor logins, detect malware behavior or recognize
abnormal traffic patterns that may signal a ransomware attack. Some
systems can automatically isolate compromised devices or block
suspicious activity before human analysts even intervene.
Retailers are also using AI to combat phishing attacks, which
remain one of the leading causes of retail data breaches. Modern
phishing campaigns increasingly use AI-generated messages that closely
mimic legitimate emails, invoices or internal communications. In
response, AI-powered email security tools now analyze language patterns,
sender behavior and contextual anomalies to identify potentially
fraudulent communications.
Another growing area involves predictive threat intelligence. AI
systems can analyze massive volumes of threat data gathered from
previous attacks across industries, helping retailers identify
vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Security experts say this
proactive approach is becoming increasingly important as cybercriminals
automate attacks using AI themselves.
Retailers are also deploying AI to monitor third-party vendor access,
cloud systems and connected devices throughout stores and distribution
networks. As retail technology ecosystems grow more complex,
cybersecurity experts warn that visibility gaps and misconfigured
systems remain major risk factors.
While AI is not considered a complete replacement for human
cybersecurity teams, many experts view it as an increasingly important
layer of defense in helping retailers detect threats earlier, reduce
response times and minimize the operational impact of cyberattacks.
Planning for 'Major Cybersecurity
Crisis'
New cybersecurity industry coalition aims to lead US critical
infrastructure protection
The Alliance for Critical
Infrastructure’s biggest goal: changing how the nation plans for a major
cybersecurity crisis.
As some of the organizations that run essential services in the U.S.
lose faith in the federal government’s willingness and ability to help
them, a few of the biggest critical infrastructure operators are
taking matters into their own hands to improve coordination — and
prepare for a major crisis.
In February, a coalition that includes corporate titans JPMorgan Chase,
Mastercard, AT&T and Berkshire Hathaway Energy launched the Alliance for
Critical Infrastructure (ACI), vowing to take the lead in helping
infrastructure sectors work more closely together to understand and
mitigate the shared cybersecurity risks they face. Reading between the
lines, the message was clear: The critical infrastructure community,
increasingly alarmed at the Trump administration’s retreat from
decades-long partnerships, is trying to fill the growing void of
coordination and leadership.
Government budget cuts and personnel losses have made it much harder for
agencies to support and advise infrastructure operators, and the White
House has encouraged states to take over historically federal
responsibilities for protecting local utilities. Amid those changes,
infrastructure firms like the ones that founded the ACI say the
private sector must step up.
Ben Flatgard, the ACI’s chairman, noted that the private sector manages
the vast majority of U.S. infrastructure. “We can’t outsource that
responsibility or the risk management practices that come along with it,”
he said in an interview with Cybersecurity Dive. “We need to own the
solution for that as well.”

Leveraging AI to Scale Attacks
AI used to develop working zero-day exploit, researchers warn
A report by GTIG shows threat groups
are increasingly leveraging AI to scale attacks. The exploitation
attempt was disclosed and patched, preventing a mass incident.
A threat actor was able to leverage AI to develop a working zero-day
exploit, in what is believed to be the first such successful use of the
technology, according to a report released Monday by Google Threat
Intelligence Group (GTIG).
The effort was an attempt to launch a mass exploitation event,
the report read, but ultimately was unsuccessful, as Google discovered
it before the vulnerability was weaponized. GTIG notified the developer
of the exploit and a patch was issued to address the potential threat.
Researchers do not believe that Mythos was used in the development
process.
“AI can review the underlying logic, context, and flow of code at
scale to discover vulnerabilities, John Hultquist, chief analyst at
GTIG told Cybersecurity Dive, via email. “It can also be used to build
working exploits which are a significant hurdle.”
The incident highlights a growing trend by state-linked and
financially motivated threat groups using AI to scale and accelerate
hacking campaigns and exploit flaws in widely used applications.
GTIG researchers caution they have seen several other attempts to use AI
to develop exploits and expect there will be other operations employing
a variety of models.

Gen AI Fooling Online Shoppers
AI Fakes the Founder and Keeps the Money
A video appeared on Instagram a few weeks ago: a granddaughter
describing how her grandfather spent decades hand-stitching leather bags
in a small workshop, his life’s work now available online for a limited
time. The imagery was warm, the narration emotional, the backstory
complete. It was entirely fabricated.
ABC News identified dozens of similar operations across TikTok and
YouTube, each using generative AI to manufacture founders, fake
factory footage and synthetic brand narratives to move low-quality
imported goods at premium prices.
Generative AI has collapsed what it once took to build consumer trust
online. A direct-to-consumer brand used to need a real founder, original
photography and operational credibility to justify charging $80 for a
candle or $200 for a bag. Scores of companies now use AI to portray
themselves as struggling small businesses, generating fake images and
videos of craftsmen who don’t exist. That finished product can be
assembled in hours.
The playbook follows a formula. Some operations use AI to make emotional
appeals—one purportedly New York-based clothing retailer shared an
AI-generated image of a damaged storefront with shattered glass and
police tape to announce a “big sale.” Others simulate artisanship.
What makes these operations work isn’t production quality. It’s timing.
ABC News noted that by the time consumers leave reviews or file
complaints, the sites often go offline or move on to selling another
product. The gap between launch and exposure is the margin.
Social platforms amplify the risk. These fraudulent sites thrive
on social media, where consumers are often distracted and more likely to
make a quick purchase. The scroll-and-tap dynamic that drives social
commerce removes the scrutiny a buyer might apply elsewhere. The FTC
reported that Americans lost $2.1 billion to scams originating on social
media in 2025, an eightfold increase since 2020. The agency noted that
most scams go unreported, putting the real total higher.

E-Commerce Continues to Evolve
Sam’s Club Tackles the Future of E-Commerce
SVP Greg Pulsifer explains why the
club retailer no longer views online shopping as a separate channel
Sam’s Club has been on an e-commerce and omnichannel growth journey
over the past several years, and Greg Pulsifer, SVP, e-commerce, will be
the first to tell you that it’s an ongoing one.
By many accounts, it’s also one that’s paying off. In the most recent
quarter ending Jan. 31, the Bentonville, Ark.-based club retailer’s
e-commerce sales increased 23% year over year, with continued
strength in club-fulfilled pickup and delivery.
As its e-commerce capabilities grow and evolve, so, too, does the way
that Sam’s Club considers its shopping options, from in-store trips
to curbside pickup to same-day delivery. “For us, it’s really about
eliminating the idea of channels altogether,” Pulsifer shares. “Members
don’t shop channels, they shop needs.”

Los Angeles, CA: Hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen goods
recovered at a used car lot after adult toy company purchase
The Los Angeles Police Department recovered approximately $500,000 in
stolen merchandise after a European adult toy manufacturer tracked its
hijacked products to a used car lot. As reported by Fox News,
authorities raided the business and related storage containers following
a private investigation by the unnamed company. Investigations began
when the European firm discovered its high-end merchandise for sale
online. The company purchased the items to obtain a shipping address,
which they then provided to the LAPD’s Cargo Theft Task Force and
partner agencies to facilitate the raid. Undercover officers discovered
a wide variety of stolen goods during the operation, including power
tools, denim clothing, and musical instrument components. ABC7 was
granted exclusive access to the site, where hundreds of thousands of
dollars in property were found stockpiled. We've seen DeWalt. We've seen
Nike. We have seen our stolen product that, what brought us here in the
first place," said an undercover LAPD detective. Police noted the
recovery of additional items such as Acer computers and Yeti mugs. They
described the region as a major hub for organized theft involving both
commercial and rail cargo.
