Sadly, the article reads as more bogus than it really is. SIP really is 
weak. RTP stream are almost universally unencrypted right now. Listening 
in to a VoIP within your company is generally much easier than snooping 
on a traditional call. I wonder how long it will take before encryption, 
solid authentication, and other good stuff becomes widely deployed for VoIP?
