Flaws Threaten VoIP Networks?

Posted by simoniker on from the flaws-flaws-everywhere dept.

jdkane writes "CNET News reports that security flaws have been found in products that use VoIP and text messaging, including those from Microsoft and Cisco Systems. What's interesting, in Microsoft's case, is that the Internet Security and Acceleration Server product that's also affected is designed to help protect companies' networks from online attacks. Specifically, a filter used in the server that secures VoIP communications is vulnerable to the flaw."

    I know I'm going to regret asking this, but what does "sillema sillema nika su" mean? It was a fortune on slashdot.

    Google shows very few hits for "sillema".

    Yeah this is what happens when you outsource I.T. work & they implement Microsoft or 3rd party software end to end solutions for VoIP. Use a damn router with real encryption like we did years ago. It's amazing how stupid businesses got in I.T. in the last 3 years since Clinton sent our jobs overseas.
