Trump Administration Impacting Retail & LP
From The Biggest Retail Fine In History to Philly’s “Public Safety Crisis”
With Retail “Shoplifting at the Center of it All”

The Walmart Connection
Seeing beyond China’s tariff war impact on retailers and consumers, which is almost impossible, and just in case you missed the NY Times Walmart Corruption Fine article last week, as reported in the Daily, the Trump connection to Walmart’s ultimate fine was deliberately drawn by the NY Times writer with stating that the Obama administration was aiming for a $600 million fine while the Trump administration reduced it to $282 million. Subtly inserted but hoping to be picked up. Which we haven't seen in any news outlet.

With this being the biggest and most historical FCPA case and fine ever means that Attorney General Barr had to get the nod from Trump given the potential media and legal impact. It's just to big for Barr do call this one alone. Which may have also happened in the Pilot Flying J $92 million fraud fine.

Retail Stores at the Center of the Fight


US Attorney's Attack on Philly's DA - 1st One of Its Kind From the Fed's
As reported Friday in the Daily, the relatively new U.S. Attorney (April, 2018) in Philadelphia took the local DA, a Democrat, to task for decriminalizing shoplifting and made the comment that retail shoplifting was at the center of this new don't prosecute position.

Then when we look at the other two DA's that recently made the news with their 'don't prosecute shoplifting' policies we find all three of them are Democrats. Not that we are making this political but the facts are the facts.

The police departments in both locals are up in arms asking for resignations and claiming the DA's didn't campaign under those positions certainly.

But now we have a U.S. Attorney, for the very first time, coming out against it publicly and making it a point to support the retailers. A huge position to take that clearly was approved by the administration, if not initiated by them. Given the amount of recent press and potential impact, we wouldn't be surprised if the White House was contacted about this national trend.

Let's keep it up! Every LP executive in North America, including Canada, needs to be communicating this to their entire 'C' suite and Board of Directors. Because, number one, they're the only ones that can probably make a difference and number two, if some start to feel the consequences of this highly publicized policy it's best that you had called it out quickly.

Corona Costco shooting: Emergency-exit doors were designed to wait 15 seconds before opening
The system has been taken down for now, but not because it’s illegal — it awaits outcome of a plan review. When shots rang out the night of Friday, June 14 at the Costco in Corona, shoppers hustled to emergency exits.

Some struggled with the doors, failing to get them open, and instead hid or quickly made their way to the main exit at the front of the store.

Those emergency doors, it turns out, were designed to not open instantly.

They were equipped with 15-second delays from when the so-called panic bar is pushed until the doors open with alarms sounding off. Signs on the doors explain this – although someone trying to escape a shooting understandably may miss them.

The system meets a state building code on emergency doors that Corona chose to adhere to.

At the Corona Costco, the delay system was de-activated after the shooting that left one dead because it has not yet been approved, the city’s Fire Marshal Cindi Schmitz said.

Frustration about the doors came to light in the media following the shooting.

“It’s not very fun when you’re scared and you’re running for your life, and you’re trying to open a door that says ’emergency’ and they don’t open,” shopper Rochelle Flores told KTLA 5 the night of the shooting. “Everybody was freaking out. People were falling over each other.”

Flores told the station she hurt her hand trying to force the door open.

The day after the shooting, the city issued a cease-and-desist order for the delay system, pending the review’s outcome. pe.com

Making the Case for Diversity & Taking the Pledge
Diversity’s new frontier Diversity of thought and the future of the workforce

Up to now, diversity initiatives have focused primarily on fairness for legally protected populations. But organizations now have an opportunity to harness a more powerful and nuanced kind of diversity: diversity of thought. Advances in neurological research that are untangling how each of us thinks and solves problems can help organizations, including governments, operationalize diversity of thought and eventually change how they define and harness human capital.

Diversity of thought can bring an organization the following benefits:

1. It helps guard against groupthink and expert overconfidence.
2. It helps increase the scale of new insights
3. It helps organizations identify the right employees who can best tackle their most pressing problems.

NRF Tech 2019 Panel on Self-Checkout
"Everything Will Change"
Why check-in is the new checkout
Autonomous checkout is disrupting retail and creating a seamless, frictionless payment experience, but it’s also about something much bigger, according to a panel of experts at NRFtech.

“We think about it beyond the checkout but as a platform. The data redefines the customer’s store experience — what works and what doesn’t,”

The “Autonomous checkout: Understanding and preparing for major industry disruption” panel.

“Retailers of all types and especially traditional full-line grocery and convenience stores are considering implementing autonomous checkout technology, where a mix of cameras and sensors track shoppers as they select items through the store and compile an in-app receipt with embedded payment,” “What you experience (in these stores) is a completely free business model where every customer is known, contactable and preauthorized, before they even enter the store.”

The “holy grail” of autonomous checkout is in-store positioning capabilities, “The ability to know where a customer is in the store is useful for checkout, but can be used for a number of other purposes,” Fisher said, including directing customers on where to find certain items.

The other game changer for autonomous checkout has been the improvement of computer vision. “Now that computers can see the way people interact with things, everything will change." nrf.com

UK's Grocery Retailer Waitrose 340 Stores Rolling Out Self-Checkout
Scan-and-pack system, customer facing tech., customers entering a store pick up a handset or download an app and use their mobile phones to scan products as they shop, smoothing out the checkout experience. “We’ve been working with PCMS on payment software from the beginning and the technology has changed to take advantage of underlying promotions and basket management,” he says.

About 40 percent of all in-store transactions are self-service right now, is split fairly evenly between the store’s portable self-scanners and customers’ own mobile devices.

Reaction from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. “Surveys show the speed and ease of checkout is one of the strongest performers in customer satisfaction.”

Meanwhile, the use of scan-bag-and-go technology is expanding at a rapid pace in the United States with chains like Walmart and Kroger aggressively expanding its use, 7-Eleven piloting a new project and Amazon continuing to refine its cashierless Amazon Go concept — despite concerns among some observers that the technology could promote increased theft. stores.org


Senators weigh potential security risks from Chinese-made drones
Members of the Senate Commerce security subcommittee examined the impact of banning Chinese-made drones, or components for drones, during a hearing last Tuesday.

“You get a system that is integrated into the economy of the United States that is important, that people use, that people think is reliable from a secure standpoint, a privacy standpoint, and then you realize as the system is being built out that possibly the Chinese government has access to the data and other elements of it, which is concerning,” Sullivan said of the risk to telecommunications posed by Huawei.

While Sullivan was not sure whether all Chinese technology that collects data, and thus potentially sends this data to China, should be “ripped out of the American economy,” he said that “it’s important for us to be aware of it and then possibly start taking action about it.”

Scott questioned why the United States still does business with China, calling this “crazy,” and adding that China “is not our friend.” Scott estimated during the hearing that over 80 percent of drones in the United States and Canada are Chinese-made.

Wingo called for a “whole of nation” approach to stop Chinese data threats from drones and other technologies, but cautioned against outright banning the sale of Chinese technologies due to the potential disruption to the U.S. economy. thehill.com

Sex Harassment Laws Toughened in New York: 'Finally, This Is Happening'
Wednesday, lawmakers passed sweeping anti-harassment legislation that supporters said would make New York's laws among the most robust in the nation.

The legislation eliminates the state's "severe or pervasive" standard for proving harassment, which advocates said had allowed judges to dismiss claims of inappropriate comments or even groping as insufficiently hostile.

The bills also restrict employers' ability to avoid liability for the behavior of their employees; provide for attorney fees and punitive damages in discrimination cases; expand the time frame to file complaints about workplace harassment with a state agency; and ensure that anti-harassment training is provided in multiple languages.

NY Govenor Cuomo said "We will make it easier for claims to be brought forward and send a strong message that when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace, time is up," he said in a statement on Wednesday.

The changes build on a slate of laws that Mr. Cuomo signed last year amid the peak of the #MeToo movement that banned most nondisclosure agreements and mandatory arbitration for harassment complaints, and required government employees found responsible for harassment to refund any taxpayer-financed payouts. nytimes.com

LPF Raises $15,000 at NRF Protect for LP Benevolent Fund

CVS Wins in Non-Compete Agreement - SVP Exec is Blocked
Former SVP CVS exec can't work for Amazon's PillPack, judge rules

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a former CVS Health executive from working at Amazon.com Inc's PillPack online pharmacy unit, saying that allowing him to take a job where he would help drive its "disruptive strategy" would violate a non-compete agreement.

"Months after entering an independent standalone agreement ... for which he was well-compensated, Mr. Lavin, a high senior official at CVS with access to very confidential information, went to work for a competitor," Judge McConnell said. "That is wrong, and CVS is entitled to have the agreement enforced."'

In 2017, Lavin signed an agreement not to provide the "same or similar" service to a Caremark competitor or take a job that "will likely result" in his disclosing confidential information to a competitor for 18 months after leaving the company, according to the order. CVS paid Lavin in stock worth nearly $160,000 for his signing, the order said. reuters.com law360.com

Wake Up Folks
Hackers Using Cognitive Bias as Threat Vector
'Why Diversity of Thought in the Workplace Matters'

Organizations Need Strong Leadership Backing in Order Train Managers on More Inclusive Management Styles

Workplace demographics have evolved greatly in the past half century with women and minorities represented in much larger numbers than at any time previously. Gender, age, and ethnic diversity – among others – have become valued benchmarks for companies in gauging whether employee talent and executive leadership adequately reflects the overall population. Diversity is clearly good for business, but for reasons that go far beyond optics or good PR. Simply put, the more diverse your workforce, the more diverse their perspectives. Hiring people of varied backgrounds and views generates the kind of thoughts and ideas vital to working smartly and quickly, which is especially important in the cybersecurity industry where discerning an attacker’s motives and strategies is critical to staying one step ahead.

Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts made to quickly process information and decide on an action. Not every cognitive bias leads to bad decision making, but many can. In fact, hackers and threat actors bank on cognitive biases to get their targets to download malware or give up protected data. Some examples of common cognitive biases include:

Automation bias Confirmation bias Selective perception Zero-risk bias

A Deloitte University Press GovLab report points out that by increasing diversity of thought, employees are less likely to disregard new information or be afraid to challenge the status quo. securityweek.com



The Very Real Convergence of LP & IT Security
Hackers Targeting HVT's
'DIGITAL THREATS TO HIGH VALUE TARGETS POSE PHYSICAL SECURITY RISKS'
The threat of compromising someone’s digital security to create a physical threat to an individual or an organization is on the rise.

“Attackers take the same kind of cost-benefit approach that we all do to the way they spend their time,” he explains. “One thing we know universally about hackers is that they’re very good at shifting, so they will shift from an enterprise approach to a targeted, personal attack on the executive of that enterprise. And that happens pretty regularly…it becomes a lot easier and a much softer target, and they can have the same kind of impact.”

In The Entangled Enterprise, a recent report on protecting executives from cyberattacks, Cypient Black found that along with rising traditional enterprise attacks against corporate devices, networks, and information, and increasing attacks against the extended enterprise—third party providers, such as cloud providers and vendors—a third attack area is also increasing but is often not addressed by corporate budgets: entangled enterprise risk.

“Entangled enterprise risk is the risk borne by an enterprise from targeted attacks against the personal digital lives of the enterprise’s executives and other high value targets (HVTs),” according to the report. “These HVTs often include senior executives, board members, executive assistants, and their family members. Such attacks target aspects of personal cybersecurity that are entangled with the assets of operations of the corporate enterprise.”

Cypient Black identified two types of attacks that malicious actors use to target HVTs: pivot attacks and endgame attacks.

Pivot attacks leverage vulnerabilities in devices and networks that HVTs use that are not under the control of their respective organization, such as a personal smartphone or laptop, to get access to the enterprise.

“They take advantage of the fact that senior leaders have access to a wide range of sensitive corporate information, are constantly on the move, and inevitably have personal devices which connect to corporate networks,” according to the report.

Endgame attacks, on the other hand, leverage access to HVTs’ personal digital lives to get corporate data or harm the HVT as a method of hurting the organization he or she is associated with.

One example of this in action was when an auto manufacturer was in the middle of a labor dispute. The CEO’s daughter went out to lunch at a restaurant and protestors showed up outside, even though she had not disclosed her location online. An analysis of her smartphone later found malicious tracking software on it.

The vectors used for these attacks are often overlooked by organizations due to an inability to meet the demand or privacy concerns, Lesser says. asisonline.org

Is Hikvision Next?
U.S. Blacklists More Chinese Tech Companies Over National Security Concerns

The Trump administration added five Chinese entities to a United States blacklist on Friday, further restricting China’s access to American technology and stoking already high tensions before a planned meeting between President Trump and President Xi Jinping of China in Japan next week.

The move essentially bars them from buying American technology and components without a waiver from the United States government, which could all but cripple them because of their reliance on American chips and other technology to make advanced electronics.

The entities are one of China’s leading supercomputer makers, Sugon; three subsidiaries set up to design microchips, Higon, Chengdu Haiguang Integrated Circuit and Chengdu Haiguang Microelectronics Technology; and the Wuxi Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology.

The Trump administration is also considering adding Hikvision, a surveillance-technology company, The New York Times has reported. nytimes.com

Experts Warn Firms To Get Ready To Pay Ransomware Operators
Pledges to Not Pay Ransomware Hit Reality

While risk analysts and security experts continue to recommend that companies keep focused on securing their systems and speeding incident response to minimize the impact of crypto-locking ransomware, they are now also recommending that companies be prepared to capitulate.

In a June 5 report, for example, Forrester Research published a guide to paying ransomware, advising its audience to consider third-party firms that negotiate with cybercriminals to ensure the best outcome.

"Our recommendation is to work with someone who is essentially a specialized breach coach for ransomware," says Josh Zelonis, senior analyst for cybersecurity and risk at Forrester. Companies need to "go through a staged process to make sure that you are building a rapport with the actor and ensuring that they are able, and willing, to decrypt the data — to essentially deliver a 'proof of life.'"  darkreading.com

Why Manual Review is Key to Retailers’ Defense Against Fraud - Part 2
Manual fraud review isn’t as old-fashioned as you might think. It reduces false positives and customer churn. It also helps artificial intelligence-driven fraud-screening systems get smarter. Manual review can even work for merchants like digital content providers that need to make real-time order decisions.

In part one of this series, I wrote about how manual review can increase revenue and strengthen customer relationships. I also wrote about how false positives cost merchants far more than completed card-not-present fraud, and drive away up to 80 percent of rejected customers.

Now let’s look at what you need for a real-time manual review program to reduce false declines without slowing down decisions. Real-time manual review requires some resources and expertise that not all merchants may have in-house. Merchants that can’t implement the programs described here may want to outsource them.

Amazon's Home Surveillance Patent & Service Coming
Patent papers describe a future in which Amazon customers order drones to hover around a home and scan for things such as a garage door left open, a broken window, graffiti or a fire.

As Amazon envisions, a customer can have a package delivered by drone and then instruct the unmanned aerial vehicle to conduct a "surveillance action," the authors of the patent wrote

When the drone detects something awry, a text message or telephone call can be sent to the homeowner or to local authorities.

"An alert may be provided to multiple recipients, such as a service provider (such as a security provider), an operator, a user, or a municipal entity such [as] a police or fire department," the patent materials say. npr.org

Google Wants a Piece of the Ecommerce Marketplace
Google's redesigned version of Google Shopping brings its online marketplace center stage. But can the new platform—which merges Google Shopping with the company’s existing retail marketplace, Google Express—compete with the likes of Walmart, eBay and Amazon?

On the Google Shopping platform, consumers will be able to add items to a universal shopping cart across Google Search, Images and YouTube—and then seamlessly check out using a Google account. At the same time, Google has introduced Discovery ads, which expands its ad offerings across these same channels.

While Google has some clout in this space, it’s not nearly as powerful as Amazon, according to a January 2019 survey conducted by ecommerce platform Salsify. While 78% of US digital shoppers consider Amazon their favorite place to buy and shop, just 26% said the same about Google or another search engine. emarketer.com

Your Quest
Is to help steer as many as you can into solid well performing teams so that they get the credit and your retailer gets the results.

Mind you I didn't use the words "high" performing because quite frankly that automatically puts expectations on every team player and just doesn't reflect the every day reality of life. I just don't believe any team can maintain truly high performance day in day out and the best we can all expect, is a well performing team consistently, even when the chips are down. Because the reality of leadership is to manage mediocrity to a point where it operates well every day. Mostly because of human nature and life's inevitable bumps. That we all face and have to deal with.

Thanks for all the comments about the Tip column
Seems like everywhere we go people always mention how much they enjoy the Tip column and quite frankly I find myself under valuing it and most times blowing it off. Which is absolutely terrible to do and worst to admit. But I usually like to leave the pontification to others who have the time to or who need to search for subjects. Regardless we truly appreciate all the comments and support and would merely like to say that if you feel that positive please share it with our partners and your solution providers who sponsor The Daily and allow us to do what we all here love to do. Because this small team of five truly does love putting this together everyday and trying to make an impact and we understand the responsibility and obligation. And only ask that if we're adding value to your day please share that with your partners as well.

Just a Thought,
Gus

Gus Downing
