facebook photos not private?
February 17th, 2008
I just noticed: If you know the URL of a photo in facebook, you don’t have to have permissions to see it! You don’t even have to log in to facebook!
Check out, one of mine.
Is this a privacy hole? Is it a feature? Should users be concerned?
Its clearly a hole but I woudn’t hold it against them, securing static assets without causing caches to dimiss things immdiatelly is a bitch. Most major hosts just reshuffle things periodically or pay more for bandwidth.
I think that users should be concerned about whom they add as a friend more than that.
that’s what this little program does
