Searching for Answers - Meta Pixel Edition - September 1, 2022

A fingerprint for the Meta Pixel has been added to the Technologies Library to help customers identify if and where the pixel is used to track website visitor behavior or collect data. The fingerprint allows Attack Surface Management to determine when website pages have the pixel statically embedded. Currently, only the top-level URL or landing page is tested for the existence of this technology. 

The default setup for the Meta Pixel collects user IP addresses, referring URLs, page views, button clicks, field names on forms, and more. Enabling Advanced Match or altering the default settings expands the data collection scope, increasing the risk of inadvertently sharing PII or PHI, in the case of healthcare organizations, with Meta. 

Recommendation: Identify where the Meta Pixel is embedded, assess the classification of data collected, and restrict the pixel deployment to must-have website pages. 

Use the search function on the Entities and Technologies pages to identify where a Meta Pixel is used around the attack surface. Currently, no Issue will be created. 

Which Entities have the Meta Pixel?

Does our organization use the Meta Pixel anywhere?
