    Exposure of Inktomi’s spam-site database

    Search Engine Watch reported that Inktomi had inadvertently allowed public access to a database containing more than one million spam websites. The database was exposed through a result on AllTheWeb, a competing search engine. The incident raised concerns about access controls and the handling of search-quality data, although the available reference does not specify a fine, lawsuit, or other formal penalty.
