Sorry. Somehow my brains hurt when I read "security expert" and
"facebook" in one sentence. But for what it's worth, I did read the
article. Do you mean he could not have guessed the right URL if the
pictures were stored in a different fashion?

Kind regards,

He might have guessed it, but since the access would have been 
essentially  via a script, putting security into the script would have 
been trivial.

The way it was done was 'security by obscurity' which if you have enough 
time is always crackable.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with storing pictures in a database - 
as anyone with an ounce of sense would know.
