Full breach record for STS Travel →Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group DragonForce on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

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.

No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
