There are some weak security measures like file permissions, but this is 
755 and 644 normally. If you put the document in an encrypted database I 
would choose to add this line into your .htaccess apache.conf instead:
ProxyPassMatch "^/me(.*)$" "/.file.ttl"
Well I would hide it better, you might never find it and give up and 
reformat the server to fix it.
