My question is: does this also affect flash that has been uploaded to
Akamai? if you're not familiar with Akamai, then maybe you could pass this
email on to someone else. The crux is that Akamai distributes content over
several thousand servers, however the URL (ARL) is hidden, but only in a
superficial sense.
So are you aware of the possibilities of loading a .txt file to content that
has been akamaized?
Thanks,
