Not too many engines indexing the web as a whole either.
One person hearing about your document or finding it themselves is all it takes in the real world as well.
- ipaddr 5y agoBut to retrieve the document you would have to go in my drawer? Not the same at all. Maybe if the draw was outside and there was a camera showing inside of the draw and if anyone could travel at the speed of light. Still not the same at all.
- seba_dos1 5y agoIt is the same. If I'd like to share a draft letter with someone over IRC's DM or some internal IRC channel, I'd upload it to my HTTP server's "stuff" folder with file listing disabled and paste the link.
- ipaddr 5y agoIf you dare open that in your chrome browser your extensions, your seo toolbar and google will know and come and index those files for you. To get access to a random's person house let alone drawer would be impossible and extremely costly and risky in most scenerios.
- seba_dos1 5y agoWhy would I use a browser that sends what I browse to some third parties and index those things in the first place? I mean, I know that this is a common thing these days, but it didn't use to be for a very long time. And it's still not what happens on my PC or phone.
- arghwhat 5y agoThe odds of me finding an unlinked file on a random server is lower than me ending up physically being there to open your drawer. But even then, the information leaks without the document itself. "I heard he is going to resign" is all it takes.
- ipaddr 5y agoYou are leaking more information online than you realize. If your contact viewed that in chrome, google may have already visited the unlinked document. Google is really interested in indexing anything it doesn't know.
- arghwhat 5y agoYou are leaking much more information IRL than you realize.
