Brave New World of Retail
Shopping Centers Exploring Facial Recognition Technology


Some use technology that recognizes people’s faces but stops short of identifying, recording them

Landlords could do it all if they wanted. Facial-recognition technology has advanced to the point that U.S. malls could know shoppers’ names when they enter, watch what they buy and send them promotions to encourage repeat visits.

Industry executives say they aren’t ready to go that far, partly because of the likely backlash from privacy advocates. But some U.S. shopping centers have started to use technology that detects facial features and individuals’ paths of travel anonymously. Artificial intelligence is then used to mine that data to determine traffic patterns, worker performance and consumer reaction to displays and marketing.

NewMark Merrill Cos., which owns 80 shopping centers in California, Colorado and Illinois, has deployed facial-recognition technology at its Janss Marketplace, an outdoor mall in Thousand Oaks, Calif. NewMark plans to roll it out in four more locations.

“We definitely at the minimum want features that accurately identify who your customers are, where in the shopping centers they go, and how long they spend there,” said Sandy Sigal, NewMark’s chief executive.

Artificial intelligence is the latest technology shopping-center owners are using to cope with fast-changing consumer tastes and growth in e-commerce. Landlords are hoping they can mine insights on consumer behavior from aggregate data to demonstrate and increase the value of bricks-and-mortar.

Some U.S. retailers have been testing these applications but are loath to publicize their findings. A Brookings Institution survey last September shows there is significant opposition to the use of facial-recognition technology in public places. wsj.com

Taiwan's CyberLink aims to bring facial recognition to US stores
Reaping the Benefits of Struggling Chinese Firms
Taiwanese surveillance company CyberLink plans to bring its facial recognition technology to U.S. stores in a bet that it can succeed in a market where Chinese rivals are struggling to gain a foothold. CyberLink says its FaceMe software program -- which tracks shoppers' faces and analyzes their emotions -- can help brick-and-mortar stores offer shoppers more personalized service without compromising privacy.

FaceMe can identify age, gender, facial expression, time spent in the store and returning customers without maintaining a database of customer images or personal information, because it stores facial information as vector points rather than pictures. By tracking head position and orientation, the tool can determine what the customers are looking at in the store. The program also provides a reading showing how confident it is in each element of its analysis.

Now CyberLink is "in active conversations" to come to the U.S. It is here that its Taiwanese identity could give it an advantage. Chinese companies such surveillance equipment maker Hikvision, facial recognition startup Megvii, cybersecurity company Meiya Pico and artificial intelligence group iFlytek have come under fire for supplying to the Chinese government for its mass surveillance program of the Muslim Uighur population in the country's remote northwestern region of Xinjiang. asia.nikkei.com

Walmart Confirms Use Of Ireland-Based Technology Firm To Spot Thieves
According to the Irish Independent, the retailer, who also owns Asda in the UK, revealed that it has been working with Everseen, among other companies, to supply some 1000 stores with loss-prevention software over the last two years. Everseen was set up in 2008 by the son of a Cork shopkeeper looking to solve the issue of point-of-sale shrinkage - the term used to cover lost revenue from theft and scanning errors. The software uses video analytics and AI to give Everseen a ‘digital eye’ which can track almost all non-scans. Walmart confirmed that its shrink rates have declined since the introduction of the system. checkout.ie
 



$25 Million Mobile Mall Lawsuit Alleges Racial Harassment, Violence, Dog Attack
'Aggressive' Security Guard Cuffed Group Of Young Men Before They Entered Mall
Attorney’s representing five young African-American males announced Monday a $25 million lawsuit against a Mobile mall after alleging racially motivated harassment, violence and a security dog attack during a shopping trip less than two weeks ago.

Rodricus Johnson and Ashton Golston, both 15, Cameron Robinson and Zion Lett, both 16, and Nathanial Henderson, 20, claim they were approached by an aggressive security guard outside the Bel Air mall June 22. They hadn’t made it inside the mall before they were allegedly lined up against a wall and handcuffed.

After Robinson complained that mall security officers had racially profiled the group, a K-9 unit security guard allegedly slammed the handcuffed 16-year-old on his head and ordered his Dutch Shepherd to attack him, according to the second attorney representing the group, Justin Miller, a partner at Morgan & Morgan.

Steward and Miller said that they believe there is official security camera footage from the mall. Requests by family members of the group to watch the footage were denied by Bel Air mall, according to attorneys.

Robinson was bitten several times and later had to be hospitalized for two and half days. He said that the security guard had his hand on his gun when he first approached the group and yelled “get the f**k against the wall” before handcuffing them. al.com


 



Secret Amazon Project in Seattle
After Years of Secrecy, Big New Amazon Store in Seattle Appears Ready to Open

Amazon has been involved with a prime retail location in Seattle’s popular Capitol Hill neighborhood since 2015, more than a year before the company’s Amazon Go grocery concept was even announced. It’s an unusually large space for a potential new Amazon Go store, and would be the first in a residential area.

Now it looks like the secretive project is finally coming to fruition. There was a flurry of activity at the site last week when GeekWire paid a visit, with whispers around the neighborhood pointing to an opening as soon as later this month. The windows are well-shielded from the public — no small cracks that reveal any hints this time around — so it’s tough to estimate the progress.

The site features several hallmarks of Amazon Go, the company’s high-tech grocery concept. Drawings show space for the entry and exit kiosks where customers scan a QR code on the Amazon Go app that is used to enter the store and pay for items automatically upon exit.

No traditional checkout areas are shown in the drawings. There is a large general sales area with a section for alcohol, as well as an employee break room and storage. A few unique characteristics make this store stand out and give credence to the possibility that it could be something different from the typical Amazon Go store, as GeekWire previously reported. geekwire.com

Rising Costs & Stagnant Income - Not Amazon -
Could Be Driving Retail's Struggles
While retailers may worry about Amazon and other e-commerce players stealing share, there are other, more fundamental forces to blame for their dwindling traffic, customer fickleness and frequent markdowns: Rising healthcare costs and student debt are siphoning money from consumer pockets.

It's something of a vicious cycle, as thinner wallets mean fewer consumers can afford the markups sometimes found at bodegas and other smaller stores. "With fewer and fewer Americans able to grow — or even maintain — wealth, more and more are turning to lower cost retail providers," Egelanian said. "The fastest growing retail category in America is dollar stores."

Many retailers themselves add to the problem by paying workers below living wages, usually without benefits. Treating labor costs as a line item that must shrink is worst at companies, often leveraged by private equity, that treat their operations as financial instruments, rather than enterprises with merchandise to sell. retaildive.com
 



Nike recalls American flag-themed shoe after Colin Kaepernick raises racial concerns
In a decision that will thrust Nike into the spotlight of corporations walking a tightrope between product and historic symbolism, the athletic giant has pulled an American flag-themed shoe from circulation after former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick expressed concern to the company about selling apparel he says features a slave-era emblem.

According to a source who spoke with Yahoo Sports, Nike began a movement to pull the shoe from stores nearly two weeks ago after Kaepernick and others raised concern that the “Betsy Ross Flag” printed on the heel of the company’s 4th of July-themed Air Max 1 was not only racially insensitive, but had also been adopted by some groups such as the Patriot Movement and Identity Evropa (pronounced “Europa”) allegedly as a symbol of white nationalism. yahoo.com

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced Tuesday he’s withdrawing all financial incentive dollars to have Nike open a manufacturing plant in the state after a report said the sneaker company pulled its “Betsy Ross Flag” shoes following Colin Kaepernick’s criticism.

“Today was supposed to be a good day in Arizona, with the announcement of a major @Nike investment in Goodyear, AZ,” Ducey began his tweets. He then pointed to the Journal report about sneakers being pulled allegedly due to Kaepernick’s criticism of the footwear. Ducey said he ordered the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw “all financial incentive dollars” the state was going to provide for Nike to build a manufacturing plant. foxbusiness.com

Leading Retailers Urge FTC to Protect Consumers, Competition
After six months of hearings conducted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) examining competition and consumer protection in the modern economy, the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) is urging Commissioners to take the next step with investigations and actions against companies that are impeding free market competition or deliberately deceiving consumers.

Trump administration wants to ban end-to-end encryption
Ban could help law enforcement but be exploited by hackers & foreign govts

The Trump administration are looking into the possibility of banning encryption techniques that cannot be broken by law enforcement, a proposal that would weaken encryption as a whole for users and businesses, and could make messaging clients like Apple's iMessage stop using end-to-end encryption.

The issues law enforcement agencies have in gaining access to evidence stored on encrypted devices or services has led to a long-running debate between governments, officials of security organizations, and tech companies over the effectiveness of encryption. While the former wants to weaken it, the latter, including Apple, are fighting to keep it strong.

Senior White House officials are said to have attended a National Security Council meeting on Wednesday, discussing the possibility of asking Congress to outlaw end-to-end encryption, three people familiar with the matter told Politico. The second-in-command officials from "several key agencies" were also reportedly in attendance at the discussion, most likely alluding to the security agencies like the FBI, CIA, and others.

A request to Congress to introduce laws banning encryption will face stiff opposition from tech companies and their customers, as it would effectively force Apple, Google, Facebook, and other service providers relying on end-to-end encryption to use weaker security. For consumers, this could make the services less trustworthy.

For lawmakers, banning end-to-end encryption would simplify the process of acquiring data from within encrypted communications, but critics maintain this has a cost. The same backdoors and weakpoints could be exploited by hackers and agencies from foreign governments, enabling the ability to spy on US citizens, while at the same time criminals and terrorists may simply ignore the law and use their own protected systems. appleinsider.com

Closing the perception gap between security pros and executives
For some time, security professionals have talked about the need to have their voices heard at the highest level in the organization. Now, with so many breaches over the years – the first four months of this year alone seeing 5.64 billion records leaked - there are few executive boards, if any, that aren’t in some way concerned about cybersecurity.

However, a recent study has proven that there is still more work to be done in terms of aligning security teams with their board-level executives.

Seeing eye-to-eye
Recently, AT&T Cybersecurity took the opportunity to gauge the opinions of more than 700 security professionals on this topic. While around 56 per cent of respondents were mostly or completely on the same page with board-level stakeholders, 44 per cent were either sometimes or not at all in agreement.

Focus by sector
Looking at the results through the lens of industry sectors provides further insights. Financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector, where threats are high and potentially devastating, had a typical distribution curve that matched the aggregate, indicating a higher collaboration with board level stakeholders.

Putting the best foot forward
The threat landscape is ever-shifting. To keep on top of the latest threats requires collaboration with peer companies, robust reporting on system activities, as well as actionable threat intelligence in which the primary goal is to drive the detection of emerging (new) threats and to drive resilient threat detection. This means the ability to detect threats even as IT systems evolve (i.e. cloud migration, IoT, mobility, 5G). itproportal.com

N.Y. man sentenced in ‘dark web' credit card fraud scheme
Sungwoo Han, of Queens, NY was sentenced Friday in state Superior Court after pleading guilty on May 10 to second-degree trafficking in personal identifying information of another. Han handed over a fake learner's permit during a traffic stop in Allamuchy, leading to his arrest for trafficking fraudulent credit and debit cards using stolen personal information, has been sentenced to three years in prison. After arresting Han, the trooper seized seven fraudulent credit cards along with a small amount of methamphetamine in Han's possession. A search of his vehicle yielded 30 more fraudulent credit and debit cards, six additional fraudulent identification cards. It was later found Han was obtaining stolen personal identifying information on the "dark web," which was used to generate fraudulent credit and debit cards.
A search of his smartphone revealed more than 400 sets of personal identifying information including names, addresses, Social Security numbers and birth dates, the office stated.

How to Stop Targeted Ads

Google, Facebook and Apple have ad platforms that can send ads based on the information they collect about you, like your name, address, age, gender, internet habits and location. You can opt out of these targeted ads, usually in the platform’s settings. This won’t change the number of ads you see, but they won’t be targeted and in some cases it limits the information the platform can collect.

Deep Dive: How Fraud Runs Rampant In Mobile Ordering
Mobile order-ahead apps are growing more popular by the day, and restaurants are clamoring to get on board. A QSR Magazine study found that 73 percent of diners have used mobile ordering, 63 percent have at least one mobile ordering app on their phones and 35 percent use mobile ordering every time they visit QSRs.

Consumers are eager to utilize these services, but cybercriminals are just as ready to exploit them. Overall digital fraud increased by 13 percent in the past year, with the food and beverage industry seeing an increase of 60 percent – nearly four times above average. It’s open season for hacks on mobile order-ahead apps as data breaches continue to make headlines regularly and cybercriminals purchase stolen identities on darknet marketplaces.

Account Takeovers Plague the QSR Industry

Cybercriminals can obtain stolen identities for as little as $4, meaning it’s easier than ever for them to launch account takeover (ATO) attacks. They can use individuals’ credentials to gain access to accounts and then obtain stored payment information, allowing them to make purchases or drain accounts of accrued awards points.

Such attacks have plagued McDonald’s customers in Canada over the past few months, racking up thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges. One consumer in Nova Scotia reported more than $480 CAD in illicit orders over four days, while a victim in Toronto faced more than $2,000 CAD worth of charges in McFlurries, Big Macs, Chicken McNuggets and poutine. The transactions occurred in rapid succession at multiple locations, suggesting that the hacker distributed stolen data to other criminals.

Chipotle’s customers reported a similar string of attacks in April, with victims swindled out of up to $500 USD each. One victim did not even have a Chipotle account, but had used the QSR’s guest checkout option. Chipotle denied any breach of its databases or systems.

The McDonald’s and Chipotle hacks are currently unsolved, underscoring the difficulty of catching and prosecuting cybercriminals. pymnts.com

The Psychology of an Online Shopper: Why Merchants Must Prioritize Security
Consumers are becoming more security conscious when it comes to shopping online. Therefore, online retailers cannot afford to rest solely on their features and benefits, ignoring consumer demand for enhanced safety. However, merchants are faced with the challenge of responding to customer demand and maintaining a secured environment, while fighting to attract loyal customers and keep up with the competition.

The reality is customers believe that they should be able to buy what they want, when they want and how they want. In fact, 50 percent of consumers will abandon a transaction if their preferred payment method isn't offered. Merchants want and need to attract new customers, therefore they must make it easy for consumers to purchase their goods online. They can help them do so by offering the right payment mix and minimizing the risk factor to ensure consumer trust. mytotalretail.com

At the end of most interviews, candidates are given the opportunity to ask questions. Surprisingly enough, most candidates are unprepared for that question, itself. So take the time in your preparation to develop a few well thought out questions that reflect your knowledge of the company, their future plans and how you fit within them. Certainly your questions should also focus around the variables that increase the success of the specific position you're applying for and not deal with the benefits, salary, or work schedule, travel requirements, or expenses. As these questions will turn off an interviewer and are premature. Your questions should be a reflection of the type of executive you are and will be if they hire you and therefore should be designed to show how you'll be successful and valuable for their organization.

Just a Thought,
Gus
