Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
The City of Bakersfield experienced a data breach involving its third-party payment vendor, CentralSquare Technologies. Between August 11 and October 1, 2018, unauthorized code was inserted into the Click2Gov online payment system to capture payment card data and personal information. The City removed the code, enhanced security protocols, and notified affected individuals.
About this clustering
DisclosureLens links filings into incidents through layered matchers: deterministic rules (same source document, multistate filings of one breach, tight-window same-victim pairs), a weighted-similarity scorer for cross-source candidates, and an operator review queue for everything uncertain. Each link records its own method and confidence — shown per filing in the timeline below. The system defaults to NOT merging when uncertain, because a false merge (collapsing two unrelated breaches) is more harmful than a false split (showing related filings separately); uncertain pairs route to human review instead of auto-merging. Filing summaries shown in the timeline are AI-generated extracts — verify each against its linked source.
