Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
Bank of the West notified customers in July 2014 that an email scam compromised two employees' remote login credentials in mid-May 2014. The attackers accessed emails containing customer names, account/loan numbers, and Social Security Numbers. The bank disabled remote access, investigated, and 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.
