When the intrusion reportedly occurred, per the linked filings
Jan 28, 2021
Reported by SOUTH CAROLINA AG filing
BioTel Heart notified South Carolina residents of a data breach involving a third-party vendor. The vendor failed to secure medical records stored online between October 17, 2019, and August 9, 2020. Affected data included names, contact info, DOB, SSN, and medical records. BioTel Heart terminated the vendor, secured the data, and offered two years of credit 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.
