Is this just getting press because it’s Facebook? Anyone that works at a company that runs a proxy server to access the Internet should just check the referrer fields leaving the company for requests to sites like Gravatar.
- therealtbs 6y agoIt's getting press because it is siphoning off the page contents which include the names of files you have stored. It is quite a different scenario than just loading an image through an img-tag (which can be controlled through things like Referrer-Policy these days)
