    It depends on how hard you try to prevent the accidental access of the information. If you have been clearly trying hard to prevent the access, then you may have a case (legal recourse). However, I submit you this:

    http://www.intentia.com/w2000.nsf/pages/
    which is a link to all of the press releases, etc. Why this is publically accessable, I don't know. I just took the last part of a link on the frontpage off. I could do THAT just by mistyping. (It appears to be down now... the whole website maybe... oh well, slashdot strikes again).

    So who's trying to fool who here...

    You can't go by what Intentia's website shows now, I suspect they changed their scheme (also known as 'locking the barn door after the barn burns down').

    If you do a Google search for intentia results, at least one early entry points to the Intentia 'press room' containing an earlier quarterly results announcement. The announcement page itself does have a 24 bit hex ID number in the URL (BA45EE etc) that would be hard to guess for a new quarter. But on the announcement page is this link:

    ::: read the full report
    Now the URL (which no longer works, natch) of the PDF file being linked to:
    http://www.intentia.com/w2000.nsf/(files)/Intentia _02_Q2_us.pdf/$FILE/Intentia_02_Q2_us.pdf
    is extremely easy to extrapolate to subsequent quarters. I have no doubt that's what Reuters did , for this company and many others with similarly easy naming schemes and early uploading schedules. And I have no doubt that other journalists pull the same trick. In this case, a company with results they'd rather nobody noticed has jumped at the opportunity to change the subject.

    >I wonder how their stock price is taking it?

    Was recovering from a nose dive until the 21st, and since then has been plummeting again. See Intentia's investor relations site.

    Also see Cowan Research LC, which makes a software package called Eventus to do event studies

    Besides, isn't 'regulating access to private information on a public website' what htaccess was for?

    The .htaccess controls file access under Apache. Others report that this company is using Lotus Domino, which does have a different way to restrict file access.

    But is it hacking to try "Q3" instead of "Q2" in http://www.intentia.com/w2000.nsf/(files)/Intentia _02_Q3_us.pdf/$FILE/Intentia_02_Q3_us.pdf? An automated script might be monitoring release of the next file -- it certainly would not be hard to predict the file name and create the script.
