Possible security problems:<p>- It may be possible to use timing to determine if a file already exists. So it could be possible for an attacker to determine for someone if some other mail.ru user received a file with some given contents.<p>- They rely on no-one being able to construct a collision of (SHA1, CRC32, size) I believe SHA1 collisions are at least possible. If it was possible to construct such a collision you could change someone else&#x27;s files by sending an email earlier with the collision.
