Yandex granted access to other people’s documents

Yesterday, on July 4, the Yandex search engine crashed. Suddenly, the search engine indexed the contents of Google Docs.

All documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases, which are accessible by reference, were freely available right in the search engine. Thousands of documents were declassified.

The malfunction was eliminated. But the risk of unexpected loss of their data remains. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you block access to personal and secret documents, such as password databases.
