What are the odds of guessing that URL? It appears it would be far more difficult than guessing the user account password.
URL consists of uppercase, lowercase, 0-9 and is 17 characters in length- that's 1.28E65 dudes. That's enough combinatholions you could probably make a URL for every photo ever taken for all of human history and never find one in a billion years.
- zmmmmm 7y ago> What are the odds of guessing that URL Very high when someone accidentally forwards it in an email, copy / pastes too much into a document etc. The attack vector isn't someone randomly guessing the URL.
- kpU8efre7r 7y agoSharing a photo means the recipient could be careless or malicious Ok? That's not Google's problem. The issue was that these are public facing URLs but at the end of the day the URL itself isn't what the user should worry about.
- jdnenej 7y agoI can also accidentally share a file of the image.
- zmmmmm 7y agoPretty hard without explicit / malicious intent.
