Google trying to index SecretAdminFolder
I was wondering how the 'Secret Admin Folder' got out in the wild so easily even when I call myself exercising extreme caution.
Google is trying to index/follow the link to the admin login. Google appears to be harvesting the link from a Chrome Bookmark.
What I did to prove it to myself, changed the link in the Chrome Bookmark a couple of times.
- The bookmark originally saved had a zenID. I changed a few characters in the zenID in the saved bookmark.
- A few days later, the server logs showed the IP address of a GoogleBot testing the link.
- Changed the link in the bookmark again, this time, removing the zenID altogether.
- A few days later, the server logs showed the IP address of a GoogleBot testing the link without a zenID.
Since the admin folder is password protected and requires login before even getting to the ZenCart login screen, it is not a huge deal in this case.
