Google CodeSearch & vBulletin Zip Files

Two days ago I found the following message from vbulletin.com:
"It has come to our attention that Google's new 'Code Search' system has been finding a number of vBulletin zip files uploaded on various customers' sites and publishing the script contents, including sensitive data such as customer and license numbers.

Please, do not leave your vBulletin zip/tar.gz files or site backups in a web-accessible location!

If you do not ensure that your vBulletin zips are protected, not only are you leaking your own personal data, but you will also be in violation of the vBulletin license agreement by allowing your copy of the software to be downloaded by unauthorized parties.

Please note that this message is being broadcast to all vBulletin customers and is not specifically targetted at you or your site."


So take care everybody and keep your files safe
