After reading the headline, you may think that this writer is going to report a fresh controversy focused on Vonage. No. It is not the case. This time, Vonage is facing security challenge from hackers.
A security firm has claimed that Vonage VoIP service is vulnerable to security threats. The hackers can intercept VoIP calls made to the Vonage customers. The shocking revelation may put the VoIP startup into trouble, which is already down with legal controversies.
Reuter has covered the observation of security firm, Sipera Systems. The security firm has firmly claimed that hackers can lead eavesdropping, spam, spoofing and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks towards Vonage VoIP customers due to poor security systems.
The security firm has warned Vonage about the security threat a month ago. However, there was no respond from the company, reports Reuter.
Vonage declined to comment on the latest development, which is very likely to ruin company’s image as a pure play VoIP service provider in USA.

This is scary news for users of Vonage who rely on its security features.

Its good that these security threats get out and discussed as it means people and companies will work harder to ensure that security is not comprimised.
Beware and make sure for that.
Very intriguing news
yeah beside advantages,i think there are many drawbacks of VOIP.....
Thanks for the great reference post.
Unfortunately, advanced programming skills aren’t necessary to do this. Dozens of free tools are available for download on the Web specifically aimed at capturing, reconstructing, and playing VoIP conversations. While hackers can use these tools for unauthorized access to VoIP calls, they also serve a legitimate purpose. VoIP administrators can take advantage of these same tools for penetration testing of their own networks.
sad but nice to know that :)
protect your identity !!!!!!!!!!
