from the LPRC out of Gainesville, Florida. This is the latest in our weekly update series today.
This is Dr. Reid Hayes. I'm joined by colleagues Tony D'Onofrio and Tom Meehan, as well as our
producer Diego Rodriguez. And we're
going to take a quick tour around the world here, looking at a few issues of interest. First of all,
you know, we all continue to watch in horror and provide what goods and services we can and
donations to those trying to help out the horror and tragedy taking place in the Ukraine.
And so what we want to do is kind of take a second to acknowledge that.
Also, we've just seen in New York City in the subway what's happened there with an active killer, active assailant,
who's wounded with a handgun at at least 10 individuals, no known reason
yet or other than intent to harm, as well as using some type of gas or smoke to create confusion or
mask or whatever the intent was there. The individual, as we talked today, here on Tuesday
and Wednesday here in April 13th, And we're talking about the individual still on
the run, even though it looks like they've now positively identified this individual.
Secondly, we'll move on here and talk a little bit about update on the SARS-CoV-2
virus, as well as the COVID-19 disease that can result from that virus.
Looking a little bit at the front now where the United States is reporting the CDC and
FDA that their U.S. has experienced just about 1 million deaths, either totally or in large
part attributed to COVID-19 disease, a real tragedy over the last two years. And so we'll stay tuned
on that. A little bit about vaccinations, because I think we talk a little bit about it. We've
learned to the scientists working on this, the physicians dealing with this, and of course,
those of us that might have been affected in many, many ways by this, understand that the mRNA vaccines, as well as the AstraZeneca
and others, probably did, in fact, dramatically reduce very serious illness and fatalities from
the virus, but did not, by and large, prevent infection. And the original intent was to do
really both, reduce infection and reduce disease severity for those that were infected. And the original intent was to do really both, reduce infection and reduce disease severity for those that were infected.
And the second part, huge, huge win, amazing scientific endeavor, global effort, and heavily, heavily funded and heavily and rigorously researched.
A big win there.
rigorously researched. A big win there. But as you look out, we see now worldwide just over 5 billion humans have now been vaccinated with the existing vaccines. In the United States,
we're now well over a quarter of a billion Americans that have been vaccinated.
About 257 million Americans have now been vaccinated. But the big thing we've talked
about is we've talked about the idea of how many upcoming vaccines for this and other virus or with this or other viruses, all the
variants and sub-variants that continue to occur. That's what we see in adaptation and everything.
And in criminology, we certainly see that with humans, offenders and victims alike,
the adaptations that we all take for all the reasons we know. And so we're seeing
now about 119 clinical trials underway for new vaccine candidates. Now, what we're seeing and
what I'm reading here is that these are vaccine candidates for the SARS-CoV-2, but particularly
for COVID-19. Because as the new variants and sub-variants continue to go, we see some are more virulent or create more serious disease. But lately, we've seen these
variants and others that are just much more transmissible, highly transmissible. And so,
this goes back to what we've discussed. Now, what percentage of these vaccine candidates
are designed to address the first part of the equation to solve here, and that is reducing
an infection for an individual. And so, by and large, it looks like, of course, the viral
particles, the way a virus transmits itself is typically airborne, can be surfaced. We saw that's
not as common or almost not even very relevant now with the SARS-CoV-2, is through inhaling primarily through
the nose, but through the mucosal system, evidently going down into our respiratory system
and beyond through blood-borne transmission or, you know, through our circulatory system.
So, the idea always has been, should we look at nasal administration of the vaccine, since
the transmissibility of these viruses are so heavy, what can we do there to block potential
infection before it gets too far?
Start that blocking before it progresses at all or very much, certainly down to the system,
where now if it does progress,
that's where the other vaccines that we've been using come in handy. There are immune systems
ready for that and reduces typically overwhelmingly the severity of the disease that we're now going
to incur. And so maybe our immune systems are able to clear us more rapidly with fewer serious
symptoms and outcomes, and then also help us maybe rebound and
provide some longer-term immunity, both from the natural infection as well as the immunity that's
conferred by the vaccine. So, I looked at a couple. One is this CyanVac, and again,
we're not here to endorse or act like experts in any medical way here at the LPRC, not what we do, but just talk about and understand.
Because for those of us and now five of us that are research scientists here at the LPRC and the University of Florida Crime Prevention Team, we look at these issues we're dealing with, with serial robbers and burglars and or our ORC, Organized Retail Crime, boosters and fences and so on,
is being very viral in how they move and how they communicate and how they act and so on
and how they adapt and overcome all the barriers that we try and put out there for them to
increase their risk, reduce their reward and increase their effort that they've got to
take to be successful.
So with SionVac, what they're talking about, that's nasally administered, and there are many,
many other candidates under either preclinical or clinical trial testing right now, phase one,
two, and three. So overall, what they're seeing with that is that seems to maybe provide some
additional protection, if not a lot of, confer a lot of protection, again, to block actual infection, not just the progression of that infection that might
result from the exposure to the viral particles. So, stay tuned on that. This seems to be a way
out. Again, there are many in there. I mentioned almost 120 clinical trials, 54 in phase one,
Again, there are many in there. I mentioned almost 120 clinical trials, 54 in phase one, 46 candidates in phase two, and now 50 vaccine candidates in very rigorous phase three randomized controlled double blind trials.
There are now 19, by the way, emergency use authorization authorized vaccines out there now around the world, as well as a dozen, 12, that are fully approved, including the three in the United States. Another interesting look real quickly
here before we turn our attention away is another one that looked like it was called Vaxart. It's a
pill, but in the pill is maybe more for influenza type viruses, not coronaviruses, which is what COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 is,
but that the vaccine pill is designed and seems to, again, have a lot of immune action or
blocking or protective action in the nasal passages to, again, preclude infection or reduce
the infection at the very beginning before it progresses, or before it can progress. So
these are interesting. This seems to be the way out. One issue I noted, though, in reading some
of the literature and the articles out there, where the funding isn't necessarily there. Of
course, we had under the prior administration, continuing in the current administration in the
U.S., a ton of funding that was provided for vaccine development
and vaccine purchase en masse. A lot of that is now gone. So it'll be interesting to see and
relevant to see if the U.S., the current administration, restores some funding for
some of these new trials or increases it, as well as U.K. and other governments around the world,
as well as UK and other governments around the world, particularly with an eye toward those vaccine candidates that might block that infection at the beginning point.
Turning over therapies, there continue to be dozens and dozens of therapies in phase one,
two, and three trials to help us get through it if we are in fact infected, and particularly if
we're especially vulnerable to any type of
infection particularly a viral one in this case the coronavirus type of virus and so now what
we'll do is turn over talk a little bit about the LPRC and so we are there'll be three or four of
us it looks like from our team at the Retail Industry Leaders Association, RELA, AP conference that'll be
taking place in Orlando, April 25th through the 27th, coming up here really quickly.
We will have a booth gratis of our Retail Industry Leader Association, our RELA partners.
We're very grateful for that partnership with them.
And they're providing us a free booth space.
So we will see you there.
Dr. Corey Lowe on our team will also be participating in one of the sessions based on some research that we've been doing with the retailer and with some technology.
So look for Corey Lowe, if you would.
C-O-R-Y, Dr. Lowe, will be presenting and will be there as well as myself and a couple of others on our team.
We're excited to be there in conjunction with RELA and in support of that conference and encourage a lot of engagement there.
We have an open house. We mentioned this before, April 27th and April 28th in Gainesville, Florida, at our five lab cons, our suite here that we've got at the UF Innovate Hub.
We welcome any and all of you that are interested in meeting and greeting and touring and
brainstorming with us on April 27th and 28th in Gainesville at the LPRC's place of business,
if you will, and operations at lpresearch.org is the way to get involved there.
We're also, in that same time frame, have a solution partner webinar for all LPRC solution providers or partners,
all those that provide solutions to our members.
And we're talking about about 90 corporations that are members of the LPRC
to provide solutions to our retailer partners here, members of which are about 70 corporations
plus all their divisions and chains and banners. We invite you to join, get a hold of us at LPRC by operations at lpresearch.org. But on April 28th at 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time,
so April 28th, 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, we'll be putting on a one-hour webinar where
we're discussing all the ways that an SP, a solution partner, can get engaged in the community,
engaged with all the retailers and other sps for single as well as integrated
solution sets along a lot of case studies theft fraud and violence issues that they've got
so please you can either reach out to operations at lpresearch.org or to tom tom tom at lpresearch.org
to get involved in the sp webinar for lprC members. We've got an S3 summit coming up
sometime in the summer. That's being set right now as we speak. S3 being a SOC and sensor summit,
not easy to say, but we're looking at the amazing work that's going on. Ryan San Angelo,
a researcher on our team, is putting
together with a host of retailers and a host of cutting-edge solution partners, an amazing security
operations center, EOC, that's fully functional, is coming together, as well as our FusionNet
platform built in Discord. So those that have interest in the SOC and CENSOR Summit, please get a hold of
Orion, O-R-I-O-N, at lpresearch.org or, again, at Operations App. We have a Violent Crime Summit.
Dr. Sarah McFann, Sarah is putting together with Basha and other leaders on that Violent Crime
Working Group, a date to be determined, but it will be held
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in part hosted by our CAP Index member partners here. And so that,
again, will be this summer. A product protection summit that Dr. Corey Lowe is putting together.
Get a hold of Corey, C-O-R-Y, at lpresearch.org for more information on the Product Protection Summit,
the Supply Chain Protection Summit, put together by Diego Rodriguez. So, it's diego at lpresearch.org
and research support provided by Orion as well on that. Some really cool projects underway to
help inform that as well as coming up October, the first week in October, Impact 2022 Impact in
Gainesville. Content, logistics, all the planning is well underway now, and so we're excited for
Impact 2022 version. So please join us any and all of these events. They're for you all,
and as well as the seven working groups that continue to meet every month by teams, those are all part of the LPRC experience, the community, the ecosystem.
Some of the projects, again, that are moving pretty quickly here, the aggressive homeless project done by Sarah, Dr. McFann, robbery mapping by James Martin, a research scientist.
He's also working on
shrink and loss mapping. Um, he's tying in with, uh, Corey Lowe, Dr. Lowe on the ARCS project,
which we'll hear more about later. Um, you'll see that we're, uh, again, I mentioned the SOC
infusion net with Orion working away, uh, night and day on that, uh, active assailant research, both markers or red flags that Sarah's working on. The fuel
theft, and we're going to be working on some mapping there. That's a combination of Sarah
working with James Martin. Guarding off-duty, third-party or proprietary guards, that kind of
guardianship. Sarah's putting together panels and research along that. And then we've
had some active shoplifting boosters, fenders in our labs this week and last week and more to come.
We've got some really good boosters that we're talking to right now, exposing other things,
getting a ton of feedback. So we'll update on that. And there are probably another dozen or
more research projects at least underway as we speak.
So enough from Reid Hayes. Let's now turn it over to Tony D'Onofrio. Tony, if you would, take it away.
Thank you, Reid. Let me start this week with one of my favorite studies that comes out every year
from RIS News. Just published was the 32nd Annual Retail Technology Study,
which this year is titled
Rising Digital Divide Lists Retailers' Ships.
The RIS Annual Retail Technology Study
explores the current state of the retail landscape
and benchmarks technology spend across more than 80 distinct
retail solutions. As digital savvy consumers continue to demand a personalized, tailored
experience, regardless of their preferred shopping channel, retailers are investing in technology's firepower to provide a differentiated experience for the consumer.
So the big question this year with all the COVID around us is, is the glass half full or half empty?
It all depends, the study says, on your perspective.
Retail has certainly faced its fair measure of challenges over the past two years, but the industry glass is definitely half full and rising fast.
I would totally agree with that assessment.
Eighty-four percent of those surveyed report that revenues have increased over the past 12 months, and 42% of retailers said they have increased
by more than 10%.
Savvy retailers quickly pivoted in the face of the ongoing COVID-induced disruption and
continued to reinvent themselves in response to workforce challenges, supply chain woes,
and digitally empowered consumers that increasingly demand a personalized
path to purchase. When asked the one word that best described the past year and the current state
of the retail industry, the top responses were evolving, dynamic, changing, fluid, and unpredictable.
The top three challenges identified
over the next three years are dealing with legacy systems,
employee engagement and wages, and application integration.
The top three tech-driven technologies
for the next 12 months are improving IT networks and network safety, expanding unified commerce, and developing personalized marketing capabilities.
compared to 2021 levels, and 13% plan on increasing their IT budgets by 13% year-on-year. Overall, retailers report that an amazing 12% of their annual budget is currently allocated to information technology.
The store is still the undisputed revenue king of the retail enterprise, the study says,
and investment continues to flow into brick-and-mortar operations.
However, this year, the study saw less investment in physical retailing and a bigger investment and commitment to digital efforts.
efforts. The top three investments today are curbside pickup, real-time store monitoring and KPIs, and digital devices, which includes things like signage, kiosks, magic mirrors, etc. The top
three investments over the next two years are shopper tracking capability, location-based sensing for marketing communication,
and digital devices once again.
So a great study.
I encourage you to read the entire study.
It's available on the RIS News website.
Some good data to help prioritize
what other retailers are prioritizing
and also what you should engage with the LPRC on.
And finally, let me end this week with a very interesting editorial
that appeared in the Wall Street Journal this week
and then appeared on the weekend, this Sunday,
and it's America's sharp lifting epidemic.
Retail theft seems to have been normalized in many U.S. cities.
And again, very, very interesting.
I know very that the Wall Street Journal will actually spend time on this.
Directly quoting from them, walk into any big city pharmacy these days and you'll notice that much of the merchandise is located in plastic cases.
and you'll notice that much of the merchandise is located in plastic cases.
Dishwasher pods, shaving cream, even shampoo bottles are locked up to reduce losses for what has become a shoplifting epidemic.
Two recent reports show the scope of the stealing.
Business.org surveyed more than 700 small businesses and found that 54%
had an increase in shoplifting last year. 23% said it happens daily. The National Retail Federation
surveyed 61 medium to large retailers and found that organized retail crime cost on average more than $700,000 per $1 billion in sales in 2020.
Mike DeAngelis, a spokesman for the CVS drugstore chain, says our store experienced a 300% increase
in retail theft incidents since the pandemic began.
In New York City, complaints rose by nearly 16% between 2019 and 2021, according to police.
The clearance rate, which means when a suspect is arrested or identified, dropped to 28.4%
from 48.5% over the same period. That's an amazing stat that it dropped the clearance rate that much.
In San Francisco, retail theft drove five Walgreens stores out of business last October.
The U.S. Chamber on Commerce responds to urge Congress to pass the Integrity,
Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumer Act. The legislation will require Amazon and eBay and other online platforms to verify the identity of any seller who makes 200 or more sales valued
at a total of $5,000 or more a year. When a seller passes $25,000 in annual sale,
the online platform would have to disclose publicly the seller's name
and current contact details. Proponents said the law would increase transparency and make criminals
think twice before they use an online site to sell stolen goods, but it would also increase
regulatory burden on legitimate small businesses. This is a federal attempt to solve what is a state and local failing, the Wall Street
Journal says.
The chamber also cites a finding from the National Retail Association for Shoplifting
Prevention that said that at least 40 states have changed the threshold to allow thieves to steal more while facing lesser charges.
Tests of goods worth less than $950 is a misdemeanor in California.
Cause and effect.
The National Retail Federation reports that nearly two-thirds of retailers have seen more theft in states where the penalties were downgraded.
The political assault on the police has also reduced the number of cops across the U.S.,
even as homicide, shooting, and other violent offenses have surged. That leads fewer cops to
address crime like theft in cities with progressive prosecutors, even repeat thieves are often freed without legal consequences.
The Chamber recommends that states change the criminal code
to address organized retail theft and increase penalties.
Fine with us at the Wall Street Journal,
but cities also have to end the impunity that is driving the stealing
spree.
So really, really interesting editorial from the Wall Street Journal, very appropriate
to the work that's being done at the PRC in terms of combating this crime.
Again, I would encourage you to also look for that which appeared this weekend.
And with that, let me turn it over to Tom.
Well, good morning, everyone.
Thank you, Tony.
Thank you, Reid.
Hopefully, you guys can hear me okay.
I'm remote and taping on a different device.
But just a couple kind of updates and things that are going on that we've been speaking about over the last few weeks.
that we've been speaking about over the last few weeks.
One, we mentioned last week the Twitter purchase from Elon Musk of that 9.2% stake, the largest shareholder,
where the news reported first that he was going to be a passive buyer,
just someone that bought Twitter as a stockholder
without getting involvement.
And there was talk of him potentially
joining the board, which would be opposite of a passive, quite the polar opposite of a passive
buy. And then it led to what I would say was the next piece of Elon actually saying that he was
not interested in being on the board. So it was, yes, I'm interested. No, I'm not.
And I am going to make a couple of projections today.
I'm taping on a Tuesday.
That's our normal taping time.
And I think what we're going to see is potentially,
I have no evidence for this, that this could, and there's a lot of news reports that
are saying this, this could be, if he doesn't go on the board, an avenue to potentially do a hostile
takeover and actually buy all of Twitter. Also could be a place where he just will continue to
buy up shares and try to leverage. Not being on the board means a whole bunch of different things
to a whole bunch of different people. It could mean, it could be nothing. It could just mean that he wants
to be involved in the company. It could be other things. And one of the things that's
very interesting is Twitter has been extremely, extremely relevant in the news over the past
couple of years because of the election and all the other
things and some of the big tech censorship piece. And it's this very, very tough challenge of being
a big tech company because you're faced with, you aren't actually required to protect someone's
speech, right? Because you are actually a private company, right? So you don't have a legal requirement uh to protect speech
but there is this kind of um quasi environment of hey shouldn't you so there's a lot of things
that go into whether or not you should protect the you know people's speech and it means that
there's a person or a company having to get involved in what's right and what's wrong. So I think Elon has
vocally expressed his concerns with the stifling of free speech on some of these platforms. And I'm
someone who writes often about privacy and writes often about social media and is actively involved
and considered a subject matter expert on social media intelligence gathering. And what
I would say is that this is something that I struggle with. You want to curtail misinformation,
but you need a real definitive way to identify what's misinformation versus someone's opinion.
So more to come on that. I think it definitely is interesting. Why am I talking about it here?
Because I do actually think it affects us because Twitter is actually one of the engines that I use the most
when I'm working with the LPRC and the FusionNet because it has such a vast amount of traditional
media on it. So I thought it was interesting. I thought it was relevant. We continue to see
COVID lockdowns in China. So this is a very, very interesting kind of part, the tail end of,
when I say tail end of COVID, as we open up places in the US, in China, there have been
significant, significant lockdowns. And if you watch some of the news, you're actually
seeing enforced lockdowns where people aren't allowed to leave buildings and it's happening in multiple different areas of China.
And this, unfortunately, is going to affect the global community in the way it did early on with supply chain.
Some of the largest tech hubs in the world are being shut down. And obviously, we kind of know what
to expect and how this will play out, because we've done this before now, meaning that these
will eventually open up. But as the globe really requires China for components, we continue to see
this long drawn out supply chain disruption. And we believe that we will actually continue to see this long drawn out supply chain disruption, and we believe that we will actually continue to see this for several months to come.
And there are some numbers like there are things like 20 to 30 percent of iPhones being made in China.
You're starting to see people move to other countries to kind of have backups.
And I know that people often say to me, supply chain, why can't you just open another factory?
Well, we talked about this very early on in the podcast, but it takes six to nine months to
open a fabrication factory if you can get all the equipment. And a lot of the chip making equipment
is in sparse demand. And one article I just
recently read said that chip making equipment would used to be, you know, three, around a
three month lead time is now an 18 month lead time. So there is a domino effect here happening
here. We are still looking at, you know, different ways to manage the supply chain challenges. And I
do think it's something relevant that we'll continue to bring up. Also wanted to circle around something we talked about
last year with around a T-Mobile breach that impacted personal data of 30 million people.
There is, you know, some court documents that came up that just recently were made public where,
you know, the company did actually, T-Mobile as a company, did pay
$200,000 in cryptocurrency to obtain data and prevent a further leak. So a lot of time these
documents come out, people are shocked or confused at what this means. And this is one of the things
I also say often is that when you're involved in a ransomware and a data breach, you'll have a lot of emotionally charged conversations about whether to pay
the bad guys, if you will, the red guys, the hackers, the nefarious actors. And the answer
is largely that it's a business decision. I've been involved in a lot of cases unrelated to retail where someone will say,
should I pay? And the answer is sometimes paying is actually a quicker exit. And this is kind of
honor among thieves. So I was involved in one case and the ransomware was a very large group of ransomware folks. And what was said in plain
English, this was a group out of Russia, was if you pay us, we'll give you back your files. And
look, the only way we can get people to pay us is if we actually give back the files. If we
were known for not giving files keys, no one would pay us. And it's actually a pretty accurate
statement. That sounds crazy and quasi-intuitive. And yes,
there are studies to show about 40% of people that pay don't get their files back.
So depending on what study you read, so there is risk there. But for a company like T-Mobile,
that $200,000 that was released in a court document, I don't know how accurate it is.
I obviously was not directly involved. To me, it sounds like a business decision that they made to further mitigate potential
loss.
I'm sure they had some experts involved there looking at it with it.
But I think we continue to see these things.
And I think that it is actually a pretty smart way to look at it.
If you think about what could occur, Vice did this, just to kind of give
credit, Vice did this story. So I thought it was a really good thing to talk about too.
And then last kind of piece here, because I don't think we talk about it as much, is TikTok. TikTok is one of the largest growing video platform and really,
I mean, substantial growth. And it has a very, it's been in the news, has a very, very negative
condensation with it because there's Chinese government owned. And what I often say is it's
very similar to other social medias out there. They're making money on your data, your videos.
That's how they make their money.
They get advertisers in there.
They have a ridiculous amount of growth.
It dwarfs anything that's out there today.
And they have a really advanced algorithm,
the most advanced algorithm I've ever seen,
almost frightening algorithm in the sense that it really,
after just a very short period of time,
can figure out exactly what your viewing preferences are and does a remarkable job
of doing that by who you're friends with. And my TikTok feed is loaded with videos about
cybersecurity and current events. And it's a very interesting algorithm
that really does intrigue me in how it works.
Well, they recently just announced
that they're going to do public access to an AR platform.
And so I think we're going to see a little more AR
with their videos, more augmented reality, and it's going to continue to grow on that platform.
And it's very reminiscent of Snapchat was years ago, although I think for everyone listening here, it is a better tool to use for active intelligence and open source intelligence.
A little shorter than usual.
As we're taping right now, I know we'll talk about it next week.
I'm seeing news reports of an active shooting incident in New York City. It is definitely
too early to talk about it because it's happening, I think, literally right now. So I know that we'll
talk about that next week and probably activate the fusionNet. But with that, please, everyone stay safe and back
over to you, Reid. All right. Thanks so much, Tom. Thanks so much, Tony, for all the great insights.
