For terrorists, the best use of technology is its abuse or misuse. It does not matter what type of technology it is. VoIP is not an exceptional.
Police and intelligence agencies can tap telephonic conversations on traditional landlines or mobile phones.
Can they tap the conversations made over VoIP? So, here is an edge for the terrorist groups? Now, it is a matter of deep concern for the people associated with VoIP technology.
In an exclusive story, Sky News has brought the hidden challenge before the fore. The police and security agencies may be able to see that a VOIP conversation is taking place, but not who is speaking, where they are or what they are saying, the report adds.
A security expert, Peter Sommer has rightly argued,
The problem for law enforcement is you can issue a warrant but you may not be able to enforce it against the company because the company is overseas.
As I always say, VoIP is still a budding technology, which calls for strong security measure to take its proper form.
