Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAP
Window Zero is the time the breach stayed in the open before
anyone said so — the gap between when the attack was first discovered
on the operator's leak site (t1) and when it was publicly disclosed (t2).
The wider this window, the longer victims, staff and customers were exposed with no warning.
