Yea this is very surprising. I run a file server in my local network. There is no access control on it because it’s behind my router’s firewall, but everyone in the LAN can access it.

I find it very surprising that now any random website can access it with no oversight. Why worry about spectre and meltdown when such blatant backdoors are implemented in browsers?!

Does your file server speak HTTP? If so you might have a problem. If not, it sounds like it's inaccessible to this attack, except to discover that it exists.
