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.

Not only this... I found out that the wireless router Vonage offers to their customer can be easily hacked used for anything you want.

It was only a matter of time before hackers tried to take a swipe at VoIP carriers like Vonage. I read a vonage review that mentioned something about Vonage’s security problems. I think this will be cleared up soon though.
