Be Careful Sharing Your Internal Dashboards

Paul from Geckoboard here.<p>To be absolutely clear dashboards are not on Google unless customers decide to put the URL in a blog post or somewhere else on the public internet, this is a non-story.<p>I.e. no dashboards have been exposed or otherwise leaked by Geckoboard. In order for these dashboards to appear in Google:<p><pre><code> 1. Customer switches on sharing for a given dashboard in Geckoboard 2. Then publishes the sharing URL on the publicly accessible web 3. Google then indexes that link </code></pre> In addition to locking down dashboards behind a user&#x2F;pass or restricting access to only certain IP address customers can, at any time, generate a new sharing URL which denies access to the previous URL.<p>In a related development we&#x27;ve been advised that this story is being touted around by a PR agency - we&#x27;re still trying to trace who has employed them but we have a reasonable idea.

Ufff, what an advice.<p>The way to stop sharing the dashboards is to LOCK THEM UP (at least with .htaccess), not just to remove them from Google!
