Organized retail crime "is not shoplifting," the agency says on its website, "and these crimes are not victimless." AdvertisementOne homeless woman in jail who pleaded guilty to felony organized retail theft tells me she steals out of desperation. Gavin Newsom sent $267 million to cities across California to increase arrests of organized retail crime — and the crackdown has escalated dramatically. Even the guy who says he coined the term "organized retail crime" can't say how much is lost to it. Gavin Newsom has provided California cities with $267 million and signed 10 new bills into law to bolster the prosecution of organized retail crime.

Hussein Malla / AP“We have examples where supply chains were compromised in very elaborate, long lasting, super sophisticated ways for espionage. This may be the first supply chain attack that actually really deserves to be called a supply chain attack,” said Thomas Rid, a Johns Hopkins University professor who studies the history of intelligence operations. “Supply chain compromises are tried and true in intelligence work,” said Harding, who is the director of the Intelligence, National Security, and Technology Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “I literally cannot think of a single example that is unclassified.”But she said the combined scope, planning and violence behind the pager and walkie-talkie operation made it a unique incident in the history of supply chain compromises. While the attack in Lebanon broke with spy agencies’ tradition by using a supply chain for an attack rather than for espionage, it could benefit Israel’s military objectives and have larger political implications.

Asasinările agenților dubli și ale dezertorilor din domeniul serviciilor secrete sunt și ele mijloace istorice folosite de Moscova. Cu toate acestea, operațiunile descoperite ale serviciilor secrete rusești au arătat că Moscova a devenit neglijentă. Rezultatul, însă, este o enormă pierdere de prestigiu politic, sancțiuni, și o rată foarte scăzută de succes a operațiunilor. Totuși, John Sawers, fost director al serviciului de informații externe britanic, MI6, estimează că sunt detectate doar 10% din operațiunile serviciilor secrete rusești.
