Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
Bank of the West discovered on December 19, 2013, that a retired internet job application server had been illegally accessed. Unauthorized users may have obtained user names and passwords created to access the site. The bank secured the servers, established additional security measures, and cooperated with law enforcement. Affected individuals were offered one year of free identity monitoring.
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.
