Eavesdropping on VoIP calls takes place when unauthorized third parties monitor call signal packets. By eavesdropping, third parties can learn user names, passwords, and phone numbers thereby gaining control over calling plans, voicemail, call forwarding, and billing information. More importantly, third parties may also gain access to confidential business and personal information by eavesdropping on actual VoIP based conversations.
