Exposing the Lack of Privacy in File Hosting Services (Paper)
Examines download URLs as bearer credentials across file-hosting services. Identifier density, metadata oracles and shared token prefixes undermine privacy despite download delays or CAPTCHAs. Decoy files measure access and credential use; search non-indexing only approximates privacy, and not every access proves identifier guessing.
