Problem
The problems are twofold:
Login emails can be clearly logged when attempting to login.
HTTP 404 Not Found response is technically incorrect when a short link & user email URL object cannot be found. The better security posture is to treat it as an unauthorized attempt to modify a URL that does not belong to said user.
Solution
Log all emails when OTP verification takes place, for both success and failure cases.
Use HTTP 403 Forbidden response if a short link cannot be found by the URL management service.
