When the intrusion reportedly occurred, per the linked filings
East West Bank notified California customers in October 2014 that their debit cards may have been compromised due to unauthorized access to payment card data at AB Acquisition LLC (Albertsons, Acme, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, Star Markets) stores between June 22 and July 17, 2014. East West Bank monitored affected accounts and encouraged customers to obtain free identity protection services via AllClear ID.
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.
