Registrant determined the incident material — starts the SEC 4-business-day clock
ADT Inc. disclosed unauthorized access to its network on October 2, 2024, via compromised credentials obtained through a third-party business partner. The actor exfiltrated encrypted internal employee data. ADT shut down access, engaged forensic experts, and is cooperating with federal law enforcement. Customer personal information and security systems were not compromised. Investigation is ongoing.
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.
