This article is more interesting from a UX point of view. It seems that many people think the gibberish-ly looking URL, however short, is nice and safe. That confers a false sense of privacy. The part about automatically-generated short URLs in MS docs is (was?) worriesome. Few users understand the implication of having a public URL that directly references their document which, in all likelihood, were intended for a restricted audience. I should point out that Slack has the same bug, though their URLs are simply obfuscated with a longer token. Shameless plug: Cisco Spark[0] has solved that with end-to-end encryption.
