Beware Deleted Facebook Images can still be accessed
If you are the power user on Facebook and share your personal
information like photos, videos on it then beware you may be under
threat. When a user upload any photo or video, it automatically gets
syndicated to multiple facebook servers without user’s to
enable quickly access and it may be accessed even after the deletion. It
is a major loophole in the Facebook’s privacy.
Why Facebook Images are Available After Deletion?
Facebook works on Continent Distribution Network known
as CDN to give quick and easy access to its users. When an image and
video is uploaded then many copies of same photo or video becomes
available on local servers. When a user deletes a photo or video from
his account then it is deleted from the Facebook’s main server but
remains available on other server for 30 months (2.5 Years) and user’s can access deleted photo and video.
Now Facebook’s Spokeman Simon Axten has said:-
Facebook is working on CDN and they are trying to reduce the amount
of time that a photo remains in its cache and he also said they have
fixed the same issue in videos.
How To Access Deleted Photos on Facebook
Deleted photos can be simply accessed if you know URL of the image
which has been deleted from the Facebook Server. To get a proof follow
the following steps:-
First of all, open Facebook image in New Tab which you want to delete.
Copy URL of the image from address bar and paste it in Notepad.
Now Right Click on it and select Copy Image URL and paste it in Notepad. (We will use this URL later)
Delete the Photo.
Now Paste the URL in the address bar which you copied in 2nd step. You will see an error message This Content is Currently Unavailable.
Now to Access Deleted Photo paste the URL in the address bar which you have copied in 3rd step.
So, if anyone knows the URL of the photo then he can easily access your deleted photos.
