Wait a minute...

What exactly does this have to do with VoIP? Anyone with a telephone (POTS, cell, or VoIP) could be a target with this. None of the links are specific to VoIP users.

Good point.
Most vishing attacks use VoIP technology to implement the attack so that's where the connection between vishing & VoIP is made. Using or not using VoIP has zero effect on reducing or increasing the odds that any one phone number will be targeted by a vish.
