[Security] Google CodeSearch & Zip Files

Hello all,

Google’s new ‘Code Search‘ system has been finding a number of zip files uploaded on various customers’ sites and publishing the script contents, including sensitive data.

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

Place them in password protected directories only.
