dragonforceThis record tracks a ransomware attack claimed by the dragonforce group against STS Travel. It collects the publicly disclosed attack details — sector, location and timeline — as published on the operator's leak site and indexed by Breach House.
Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAPWindow 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.
Attack Summary
STS Travel was founded in 1984 by two Cornell University graduates who shared one common goal: to specialize in the marketing and operation of travel services designed specifically for students. Since our foundation in 1984, STS has handled the travel plans of over a half of million student travelers. This tremendous volume gives STS a great deal of negotiating power, enabling us to assemble quality vacation packages within the budget confines of the student traveler. Today, we have evolved into one of America's premier collegiate tour operators, having student organizations, travel agents, and campus representatives representing STS on over 1000 campuses throughout the United States.
