Comment #3 on issue 20306 by [email protected]: SafeBrowsing flags sites that only include images (even 404s) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20306
To further elaborate, how do you know that it's actually an image, and what type of image? For this, we actually read the image and try to parse it to determine the filetype (is it really a jpeg? or is it a gif with an improper mime type?) Good image hosters will actually re-encode the image, to prevent someone from uploading something improper. I understand this can be frustrating, but the sad reality is that when you allow content from a third party on your website, there's a risk, it's been exploited in the past and continues to be exploited today :( -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
