As we had written before VOIP attacks are gaining ground in the press.
These future threats include voice spam, where voice messages inundate company networks, and phishing (or vishing) scams which use this voice spam to gain personal information. Other threats could be toll fraud, where premium rate calls are made to numbers that benefit hackers (by users, or in the future by bots infecting company networks), or denial of service attacks.Ovum principal analyst Graham Titterington said although it is not known when these threats will become critical in VoIP “it would be foolish to ignore them”.
This will be an area to watch.
