When the intrusion reportedly occurred, per the linked filings
Google Inc. notified the California Attorney General that a third-party benefits management vendor mistakenly sent a document containing employees' names and Social Security numbers to a benefits manager at another company. The recipient deleted the document and notified the vendor. Google investigated and found no evidence of misuse. Affected employees were offered 24 months 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.
