How people use Google to hack your website

[morestar]

So I came across a website today called hackers for charity and one of their pages deals with all the ways hackers can use google search to find sensitive information that is stored on your web server.

the site is hackersforcharity.org/ghdb

So I tried a few of the searches mentioned in the list and could NOT believe my eyes at some of the information I found. I cannot and won't go into the details but after seeing the things I saw, I have a new found respect for the practice of properly securing sensitive information on the web.

I saw allot of similar lists Showing the info u mentioned.I think its webmasters fault for not securing those data,i mean if your sensitive data is listed on google than its no longer private but public for everybody not only the hackers.So make sure u spend enough time securing your websites

Again, it all goes down to the webmaster's tactics on securing personal data. Thank you for this, i'll remember to be more cautious in the future.

Oh I know, I'm rather shocked at some of the stuff I found and probably could still find...

This is really shocking.
Google still allows it?
