Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
California Department of Social Services (CDSS) reported a July 16, 2014 incident where confidential documents containing names, addresses, DOBs, and SSNs of children in foster care and seniors were accidentally discarded for disposal prior to shredding. The documents were unretrievable. CDSS investigated, determined the incident accidental, and revised procedures to minimize recurrence.
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.
