Microsoft axed Docs.com search option after private files were shared publicly

Microsofts Docs.com came under fire over the weekend as users of the site had inadvertently shared private and sensitive information with the world. The site had a search function that would allow anyone to search through millions of files. Microsoft quietly removed the search functionality on Saturday after people started tweeting screenshots of sensitive information. For example, Twitter user @TinkerSec said the site was leaking personally identifiable information such as divorce settlement agreements, loan applications, custody agreements, birth certificates and social security numbers.”]
