VoIP Security

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-is-the-future-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Whitedust are running an interesting article on the security aspects of VoIP. From the article: "The fact that VoIP operates across standard networks makes it vulnerable to all manner of IP hacking - including man in the middle attacks,sniffing, session hijacking, etc." Considering it's recent growth, how secure is VoIP?" PCM2 sent us a wired bit about Phil Zimmerman of PGP working on a privacy system for Voice over IP calling

  3. Spelling errors vs. grammatical errors by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's all about communications. Some will argue that we should overlook the errors. I try to do this, and I sometimes succeed when there is enough meat on the article to make it worthwhile to mask out all the bad spelling and grammar "noise." When the article is as basic as this one is, however, I find myself in your shoes -- very unhappy about how hard it is to read the darn thing.

    On the other hand, I find your complaint somewhat hard to read as well, because (IMHO) the mistake of writing "amount of errors" when you should write "number of errors" is almost as egregious as the original spelling mistakes.
