ranson writes "PC World is reporting on VoIP technology's threat of being manipulated by hackers, through call interception and DoS attacks on users' internet connections. While these threats are nothing new, the article cites an interesting government report on the topic, as well as its author, who believes a VoIP user's best protection is security by obscurity."

And in spite of your obscurity,

• /. knows your IP.
• the spyware that is running on your Windows box your e-mail, your SSN, your passwords etc.
• the US gov. knows who you are, where you live, what you talked about with whoever, what you view on which site, that [bg]f that you talked to while your wife slept upstairs, etc.
  • 
    Funny thing is, It does not matter if you live in the states or not.

    Ignorance is soooooo bliss.
