Abstract:
1. A method for protecting online access to collaborative resources comprising: generating and storing in a cache by a computing system a unique universal resource locator (URL) for addressing collaborative resource, wherein the unique URL includes a locator address portion or a domain name portion including an encrypted first user identifier thereby making the unique URL an invalid resource location which obscures an actual location of the collaborative resource; responsive to a first user attempting to access the collaborative resource using the unique URL resulting in execution of a resource-not-found error handler, granting by a computing system access to the collaborative resource to the first user according to the unique URL in the cache; disabling the unique URL by the computer system to prevent future access of the identified collaborative resource; and responsive to a subsequent attempt to access the collaborative resource using the unique URL, preventing by a computing system access to the collaborative resource to a subsequent requesting user.
