I had this article sent in this morning from a reader (thx Carl).
From Reuters:
Hackers with a Vonage Holdings Corp (VG.N: Quote, Profile , Research) phone subscriber’s name and telephone number could intercept Internet phone calls by exploiting a weakness in the system, a security firm said on Wednesday.
Vonage spokesman Charles Sahner declined comment on the report by Sipera Systems of Richardson, Texas, which said it informed Vonage of the problem more than a month ago. Vonage had not responded, Sipera said.
Vonage, which has almost 2.5 million customers, was a pioneer in the business of selling low-cost phone services that use the Internet to connect calls instead of traditional phone wires.
Vonage has posted huge losses since it went public in 2006 as it has spent heavily on advertising to recruit customers.
For the rest of the article read on.
