Abstract

Examples described herein generally relate to detecting publication of private links. A list of one or more links created for providing remote access to one or more files can be obtained, where the one or more links can be of a universal resource locator (URL) format. A web search for at least a portion of the URL format of the one or more links can be performed. Results of the web search can be analyzed to determine whether at least the portion of the URL format of the one or more links is located. Where at least the portion of the URL format of the one or more links is located in the web search, a report indicating that the one or more links are located in the web search can be generated and/or the one or more links can be at least temporarily deactivated.
