How secure is an VoIP telephone?
It depends greatly on the service provider. If you choose a provider with an industry standard codec and industry standard protocols, then you are at risk for a hacker to try to bleed information for your system. They can get to anything you have on your system and can go anywhere that you go. If you choose a provider with their own unique codec and protocols, then you are not as susceptible to hackers. With any software that you download, you run a risk of obtaining a virus or worm, but the best way to minimize this risk is by making sure that the provider has their own unique codec and protocols. Hackers, unhappy employees, unexpected employee victims of any servicing company are able to pass or to create a virus or worm. The main thing to think about is that most of them are received from a hacker, who just wants to see if he/she can penetrate a system.
