It's not a glitched friend request notification.
It's a native friend request that you make through discord. The vulnerability lies in the attacker making a unique pfp for each request, forcing the CDN to cache the pfp at the closest data center to the user.
I would agree that it's not fully deanonymizing but it could resurrect tracking Elon and other billionaires.
I like how you see the positive in bad news ๐
