[Asterisk-Dev] OMG THE SKY IS FALLING!! NOT!!!

[Jennifer Archer]

I think land lines are just as easy to hack into as sip (and probally easier
than sip) but... consider this... walk down the street, open the #$%^ CO BOX
gain access to the F1 F2 F3 whatever bridge it onto a unused pair of
wires...  and run a line to your house, what have you just done? hijacked
someone elses line(s) ... and anyone who can put a battery in a remote
control could easily hijack a land line.  SIP ... Who knows how to hijack a
sip call? I dont... but... someone will figure it out, and someone will make
it more secure when it becomes a widespread problem.
