Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
Valex Corporation reported a malware incident on July 1, 2021, where an unknown actor encrypted systems and exfiltrated data between June 30 and July 1, 2021. The breach potentially exposed names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers of individuals. Valex secured systems, restored access, and offered 24 months of credit monitoring. The incident was reported to California regulators.
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.
