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.

Attack Summary

placer.ai Revenue $136.5 Million private US company valued at $1.5 billion that sells foot traffic analytics for physical locations, estimating visits to stores, malls and offices from anonymized data on tens of millions of mobile phones with 92%+ claimed accuracy. It hit $100 million annual recurring revenue in 2024 after growing 80% in a year and serves 4,000+ customers including Sony, Wegmans, BJ's Wholesale, SeaWorld and Bloomberg, which puts Placer data into its Terminal so investors can track company performance before earnings. Money comes from SaaS subscriptions starting around $12,000 a year, API data feeds and add-on datasets, and it has raised $268 million in total funding. Around 630 employees work at Placer.ai after 150 layoffs in January 2025 aimed at reaching profitability, and it owns no factories or stores because its product is pure software and data.

We take screenshots of their public pages and keep the proof material they post there, so that a listing can be verified and its status tracked over time. We do not purchase data, we do not solicit or encourage its publication, we do not access any private system, and we do not alter anything we record. Nothing is offered for download here, and detailed content is not published on this page or anywhere else on the public site: access to it is restricted to vetted customers under contract, for incident response, due diligence and cyber-resilience work.
