markthien Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi guys, I am thinking of using Clickatell api to send SMS like below: http://www.clickatell.com/developers/php.php However, their api accept username and password in the url. hence, is it secure to send like that? I mean is it vulnerable to hacker? regards, Mark Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164811-is-it-secure-to-send-username-password-thru-a-link-in-php-script/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prismatic Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes it is vulnerable. Sending a username and password in plain text outside of SSL is always open to eavesdropping. Edit - It seems Clickatell supports HTTPS, use it.
