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

Not really, I've had experience with several, and if their installers didn't secure the connections via ACLs or implement other security measures, THEY ARE IDIOTS.

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.  -- -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page | |

A casino has a slot machine that said it was going to pay out over 1 million dollars.. the machine, somewhere in small print on the back maybe says the max any of that machine will pay is $2,500. It's initial findings is that they can't sue the casino.. BUT, a former supreme court judge DID say that the player could go after the software maker since it was their mistake..
On a serious note.. apply my funny to this situation. When those companies that developed the technology that Vonage stole, got sued, had to pay and then legitimized .. that product now has these sue happy people's names all over it - and in my opinion, all the potential problems that go with it.
Yes.. I am being funny.. but, at the same time, there could be a little something in there as well. COULD be.. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-serving, the lazy, and Im told its a womans prerogative..." | |

| Re: Other VoIP providers 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. | |

 priller join:2000-10-20 Gainesville, VA | Just self promotion 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. | |
