On October 18, 2018, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company inadvertently sent an email containing personal information (SSN, DOB, gender, address, insurance coverage) to a Benefits Administrator for another MetLife group customer. The recipient deleted the email. MetLife offered one year of credit monitoring via TransUnion.
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.
