When the intrusion reportedly occurred, per the linked filings
Feb 23, 2017
Reported by CALIFORNIA AG filing
Stanford University notified California AG that incorrect file permissions on a Graduate School of Business shared server exposed employee PII (SSN, DOB, salary) from Sept 2016 to March 2017. The breach was discovered by IT on Feb 23, 2017, but notification was delayed. Stanford secured the folders, engaged forensic investigators, and offered credit monitoring services to affected employees.
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.
