Gravatar Scrape September 15th 2025

In October 2020, a security researcher published a technique for scraping large volumes of data from Gravatar, the service for providing globally unique avatars . 167 million names, usernames and MD5 hashes of email addresses used to reference users' avatars were subsequently scraped and distributed within the hacking community. 114 million of the MD5 hashes were cracked and distributed alongside the source hash, thus disclosing the original email address and accompanying data.

Turns out this is still very possible and Gravatar have barely implemented a fix. You can no longer scrape via userid but scraping via username works just fine. They don't even use any ratelimits.

Here are the results of about a day of work. Could easily scrape more data from this but simply don't have the time.
