VoIP can be another tool for hackers
The researchers at Cambridge University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suspect that the VoIP software like Skype can be another tool for hackers to gain access to user's computers. While the Communications Research Network claims that it is only a matter of time before the technique becomes mainstream and turn out to be the same problem that instant messaging has where hackers cause DoS attacks using the IP protocol. The communications experts believe that the hacking problem could be removed only when the VoIP publishers were to make known their routing specifications or switch over to open standards.
