Sterling M Enterprises (dba Lee's Deli) notified customers of a security incident at two California locations where malicious software captured payment card data (account numbers, expiration dates, CVVs) from POS systems between Nov 2014 and May 2015. The incident is contained; forensic experts were engaged.
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.
