[nycphp-talk] Security and POP/IMAP/HTTPS

Greetings,

Someone was proposing sending PDFs containing sensitive info over email. 
  I was thinking of recommending against it, citing the lack of security 
in the POP/IMAP protocols.  Is that a legitimate concern?

An alternative would be to email them with a link to the PDF which would 
be protected with a login system (That's where the PHP would come in).

Thoughts?

Thanks,

-Aaron
