Google Voice Mails Found In Public Search Engine

bonch writes "Google Voice Mails have been discovered in Google's search engine, providing audio files, names, and phone number as if you were logged in and checking your own voice mail. Some appear to be test messages, while others are clearly not. Google has since disabled indexing of voice mails outside your own website."

It sounds like something that wouldn't happen if you used commodity PC hardware to set up your own voice mail system. Sure, you could make a similar mistake, but it's less likely considering that no one is as interested in safeguarding your data and privacy as you are. It's difficult to put a dollar amount on it, but maintaining control over your own data and systems is quite valuable all the same. I think it's great that Google wants to make services like these available to people who want them, but I for one won't be jumping on that bandwagon.

Common. I remember when Beenz did that for a grand prize, and someone found the URL and claimed the prize. They got the equivalent of $500USD in Beenz.

Younger readers are wondering, "what the fuck are Beenz?".

Why stop there? Set up your own ISP and mail servers also. And screw Youtube, I went there once and it was down so I am setting up my own multi-media server. I also don't trust any commercial Maglock system, so I am setting up my own Maglock server to monitor all the door access as well. So, 18 million dollars later and I can guarantee no down time at all. Of course if 99.999% downtime would have been acceptable, I could have done all of that for free, but I would rather pay the big bucks to ensure that extra .001 % of uptime. Anyone who doesn't spend lots of time and money administering all of their own systems is a sucker!

Some people have such high standards, I mean jeez the server was functional for 8.64 seconds today, isn't that enough?

Huh. I figured they just outsourced the translation to an indian sweat shop and the little checkbox next to the translation "was this useful?" results in a beating if you click "No."
