Security threats have dogged VoIP since its popular acceptance. Yesterday I talked about general security information; here’s a little more detail.
There are four types of threats to VoIP communications, according to a Mac News World article. Users are vulnerable to social threats such as misrepresentation, theft of services and unwanted contact; eavesdropped calls may reveal confidential information about individuals or businesses; hackers may tap into a VoIP network and cause denial of service attacks; and an “interception and modification attack,” which can prevent, terminate or reroute a call.
