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
Many people will ask why we are called Info Salons? Does it have anything to do with haircuts? This is related to our CEO Ms. Jo-Anne Kelleway's work experience in a French exhibition registration management company. The word "salons" refers to exhibitions in French. So Info Salons literally means information technology applied to exhibitions.Info Salons was established in Australia in 1990. At that time, Australia's convention and exhibition industry began to boom with the opening of the new Sydney Convention and Exhibition Center on the edge of Darling Harbour. Australia needs a professional data collection company to professionalize the convention and exhibition industry. Info Salons provided registration solutions for 10 shows in its first year.
