FYI - The Dept of Justice complaints are online

On: VoIP's Security Vulnerabilities

If you would like to better understand this case, the US Department of Justice has made the information available online:

• News release announcing the arrests
• Complaint filed against Edwin Pena
• Complaint filed against Robert Moore

They do make for interesting reading and outline how Edwin Pena put his scam together.

Some resources to learn more about VoIP Security

On: Overlooked VoIP Security Issues?

penciling_in asks: "... This leaves me begging the question: What other not-so-publicized VoIP security issues should companies be watching out for?"

There are a wide range of security issues related to VoIP, although many if not most of them actually are the standard threats relating to the underlying data networks. One place to learn more is the VoIP Security Alliance which last fall released a threat taxonomy that outlined threats to VoIP.

You may also find of value our weekly podcast on the subject, "Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast", available at http://www.blueboxpodcast.com/. We provide detailed show notes with links to all the various VoIP security-related articles and items we talk about, many of which you may find useful to learn more on the subject.

There is also a wealth of information available in the VOIPSEC e-mail discussion list (that is hosted by VOIPSA).

LinTraining still online

On: LinSight Shuts Down

Dave's great site of training companies that are available to teach Linux, LinTraining, is still online at http://www.lintraining.com.

So that resource is still available along with LinEvents.

(I should state that I've also helped Dave out with LinTraining, so my opinion may be biased :-)
