Copies of Sensitive Data
To make sure that copies of sensitive data files are not created without their knowledge, Web developers should check their systems and their web development tools. For some instances, sensitive information has been revealed when method to find sensitive data has been copied inadvertently to create unique test data thru low level search tool like Norton Utilities. Another method is to make a test data and then point a web indexing robot at your site. You can search the resulting index for information which should not be publicly accessible. You might also search on test credit card numbers, customer names and order numbers.
