A couple of weeks ago, Boing Boing posted that if you type Confidential “do not distribute” into Google, you’ll get a lot of unprotected confidential documents in your results. Which was true. People are really just that dumb. Of course, now most of the top results are from weblogs re-posting this.
Of course, there are still plenty of result there that you and I are probably not supposed to see. And the same goes if you type in Proprietary “Do not distribute”.
If you want to keep something secret and yet you insist on putting in on your website, then at the very least, password protect it, okay?
