Email and SMS are not 100% secure. We recommend that you don’t put any sensitive information in the email or SMS content. Some of our users generate a recipient-specific unique link that opens up to a locked page. We have completed our VAPT on June 15th, 2020, and fixed our vulnerabilities.
Postman is only available on the internet at the moment.
