Isn't this public knowledge? "Oh no! 'Hackers' have my oh-so-sacred email address! Yeah, that thing on all of my sites, business cards, dozens of whois records, resumes, speaker decks, the Dominoes online ordering system, and so on... What shall I ever do?"
I'd seriously question their talent if they weren't able to find it.
- warp 13y agoYes, developers have known about this problem for years. But Gravatar and sites using Gravatar are terrible at explaining these risks to less technical users. Those users have an expectation of privacy when a site claims they won't share their e-mail address with anyone. No one has told them how incredibly easy it is to verify that their user account on one of the sites they use is the same person as a user account on a different site.
