For Reprographics 101, I do a fair amount of research on
Google.
Yesterday, while doing that – Google research on the
Internet – I found links to a reprographer’s “order” files. With this link, I found that I could view every order this company processed. I could not only view the orders, I could print
them! The orders showed names of
customers, services provided, and unit prices for each service. If I’d wanted to, I could have spent hours
and hours building a customer list, including information about unit prices
offered to each customer!

After I realized what I’d found, I e-mailed the CEO of the company
whose order files I found open on the Internet, to let him know what I
found. Shortly after I did that, I
received an e-mail acknowledging my “alert”.

This morning, I was unable to access the order files, so,
evidently, fixing the problem was done very quickly.

Which brings to mind the question – – are your servers,
those connected to the Internet – secure?
You might want to check that periodically!
