Open SaintBaroque opened 2 weeks ago

SaintBaroque commented 2 weeks ago

With PII's there are many different types of identifiable information that can refer to a person, one being the URL. URL's can disclose things like file names, IP addresses, and possibly even login information for a website if the developer set it up to display this. However, it is important to use these as they provide access to user specific information, and allow for websites to make query's in order to hone in on a specific request. It's important to protect these as they are not only integral to many different systems, but they are also very personal to a user. Source

In the event that a URL is not properly protected, hackers or unverified users can get into personal data and access things like accounts, profiles or more using a variety of different techniques like injection.
