Yes, but that is (by the nature of the paradox) only true for a small subset of sites. It provides a huge amount of information, and for much the same reason, DoB is often used as part of an identifier.
- lixtra 8y agoLet’s assume that it is indeed the hash of the URL as they wrote. There are much more than 2B URLs on the net. Assume google flagged 2M as malicious (a 8MB db). So on average you get a hit for 1 in thousands URLs. For each hit you query google for the malicious sites with the actual hash. It does feel like some information could leak but at the same time there are literally hundreds of possible URLs that map to each hash value. So there is plausible deniability as well. Again, combined with more information this could be exploited. But probably there are easier attack vectors.
