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.
