VOIP or internet telephony has become one of the technologies that has been completely accepted and embraced by the business sector worldwide. In fact, VOIP is slowly replacing the more traditional landline phone calls. But VOIP calls have a disadvantage that may be crucial enough to heed if used for business.
VOIP, unlike traditional phone calls, is very vulnerable to eavesdropping. Because calls go through the LAN or WAN or on the internet, interception is quite easy to do if you know what you’re doing and if the connection is not very secure. Companies should be aware of this weakness and should act accordingly.
