Yandex spokesman Ilya Grabovsky explained to Meduza that “on Wednesday evening, users were addressed by users with complaints about the problem of accessibility of files on docs.google.com”. “Our security service is now associated with colleagues from Google to draw their attention to the fact that private information may be in these files,” he said.

At the same time, Grabovsky emphasized that the search engine indexes only “those pages that are available when crossing the links without entering a login and password”.

After about an hour, Yandex stopped indexing these documents. However, during this time, users have already managed to see and publish the contents of files intended only for companies and state institutions.
