The days that the Internet was used just for Email and other data
services is long gone. The trend is towards an Internet full of multi
media applications and multi modal person to person communication, of
which IP telephony is just a small example. Given all these new modes
of communications it is logical to assume there may be new threats
that require extra effort to secure against. You can just see the
headline news: "All IP phones now broadcasting Viagra advertising
on the speaker at full volume. Help!!"
How many of the threats are new, and how many are just the same old ones disguised as new. Could it just be that hacking voice is just more interesting, drawing extra black hats? I will try to inject some common sense into the fear, uncertainty and doubt. |
