Group archive discovered to be publicly viewable

 

After several years of assumed security, we have discovered that our group's archive settings allowed 'anyone to view'. We have corrected the settings, so the archive will be viewable only by group members going forward.?

It's good to know that ' When an archive is publicly viewable, email addresses are always hidden from nonmembers who view the archive'

Nevertheless, it would be useful to know if/when the archive has been viewed by nonmembers. Is there a digital record of such views, and if so how can it be accessed?

Many thanks.

开云体育 stores no record of viewing by members, let alone nonmembers.

Keep in mind that while the archives were available to the public, they were probably scanned by Google and other search companies.? Eventually they'll realize they can't get there any more and give up.? It's my understanding that Google will delete old search results when this happens, but I don't know about others.? There's also a way to force Google to try a new scan to speed up the process, but I don't have it handy.
