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?

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.
