Its sad that this woman who ruined the credit of another woman only received probation. The ID theft story was really interesting but in the end a big bummer.

Once the new URL (with the ?string part) is fetched, it will be cached as usual. Whenever you update that file again, just modify the ?string part of the URL to make browsers get the latest copy. This method is easier than changing file names, or making users clear their caches. Hope it helps.
