Hello UUIDv7! / wikipedia

• UUIDv1 is generally not recommended since it leaks MAC addresses - people have been pwn’d due to this. It’s not a theoretical problem.
  • Step 1: Generate UUIDs using a highly predictable pattern
  • Step 2: Use the UUID as a security key - like saving a private file at files.example.com/12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456781234/private-file.pdf
    • and assuming nobody will be able to download it without knowing the UUID
  • Step 3: Attacker predicts the UUID and downloads the private file.
