Reported by SEC 10-K Item 1C filing
Standard BioTools disclosed in its Item 1C cybersecurity filing that in early 2019 it experienced a ransomware attack that infiltrated and encrypted certain IT systems containing critical business data. The company recovered access within weeks, retained a forensic firm, and found no evidence of persistent malware. Financial impact was stated as not material.
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.
