|  Vonage techs too busy testifyng to check it out
According to the company, they alerted Vonage to the problems a month ago, but never received a response. Probably because all of Vonage's researchers are busy testifying or getting ready to testify in patent lawsuits.

| Unencrypted???
I don't know of any VoIP carrier who has encrypted calls yet. I think they went with Vonage in there report to jump on the bashing bandwagon of them.

Re: Vonage techs too busy testifyng to check it out
So if this is stolen technology, if they hack my account, can I sue Sprint, Verizon/MCI, and now AT&T?  After all, it's their technology that is flawed... Vonage just stole it! haha

Even much more expensive business PBX services have most of the same flaws. SIP was made in friendlier times. |

Anyone involved in basically any hacking community knew about the vulnerabilities of VoIP over a year ago, why is this news? |

This is nothing new, I know other VoIP providers with way worse security. Surprisingly they don't really seem to care either.

| They don't care because its just not that easy to "gain access" to the local network hub for a given community, sniff out ONE user's specific traffic, and decode that traffic, find the Needle in the haystack, just to place an anonymous phone call to some VOIP customer or steal their credentials to make a few international calls. No real threat here just your average run of the mill FUD. Using Vonage to get headlines and sell some "consulting" services. |

Nothing new here. Most, if not all, of these so called vulnerabilities apply to any consumer VoIP provider.
This "security company" has not exposed any unknown vulnerabilities based on intelligent research. They are just explaining how things work. Probably funded by the telco's to discredit Vonage. |

It seems that only one adapter is a problem in this case.

| My take on the matter
Let's see.. I can worry about "Hackers" Randomly attacking my vonage lines, OR, I can worry about the major Telcos complying with every whim of the federal government for eves-dropping and logging POTS calls? Hmm....
Personally, I'll take the "hackers" |
