Securing Your Twilio Webhooks in Python

Securing Twilio webhooks in Python is crucial due to the risks associated with them. Webhooks can be vulnerable to phishing attempts and TwiML attacks, where an attacker can trick a webhook into performing actions on behalf of a user. Input data should never be trusted without validation, and webhooks should validate Twilio requests using cryptographic signatures. Verifying signatures eliminates replay attacks, but also requires the use of end-to-end encryption by hosting webhooks on HTTPS endpoints. With these measures in place, webhooks can be secured to prevent malicious activity.
