Providers making security a priority
(old news - 03:32PM Monday Jul 10 2006)
tags: security · VoIP
The recently exposed VoIP scam we've covered has prompted several tier 1 VoIP providers to do full system audits to check for similar scams, reports Light Reading. The scam, which netted the fraudsters a million in bogus connection fees, has apparently fired a warning shot over the VoIP's industry bow, letting them know that security should not be an afterthought.

Duh?!

In this industry, how can security not be considered one of the top considerations? Scams abound everywhere.

Re: Duh?!

Lack of security costs even more. These costs are simply hidden so it appears that having proper security measures in place is more costly.

You seem to forget the short-sightedness of corporate America.

The Unecrypted Nature of SIP Scares Me

The unencrypted nature of SIP scares me. You pass all your authentication in the clear. Moreover, I wouldn't be suprised to learn of voice recognition programs which start looking for conversations with key phrases, and/or filtering programs that look for calls to banking centers, etc.

And so, it begins


Seems like those who jumped right on the VOIP bandwagon weren't as smart as they thought they were. All they saw was the so called lower cost, just like usual. Anything to save a penny and damn the torpedos. Twits just never learn.

now, they will have to go through endless 'upgrades", etc, and will end up spending more in lost time and effore than it would have cost to just stay with a DEPENDABLE and SECURE POTS phone line.

Suckers.
