Re:DDOS

I imagine it won't be too long before someone will figure out how to write a worm to DDOS a companies phone system!

And such a worm would be a boon for operators that charge for calls. Expect the operators' share prices to skyrocket whenever a worm alarm is given :-).

I think the phones should have a hardware "lock" that would require the user to explicitly allow doing an operation that will cost them money.
