[Asterisk-Users] VoIP hackers gut Caller ID

[Alex]

Here is what you can possibly do:
	- Steal calling cards if they are useing caller id authentication
scheme
	- Get access to personal banking information (Citibank uses callerid
as part of authentication process.)
	- Purchase goods and services backed up by calling verification.

I can go on and on for hours. Main point of story that s@#t will hit the fan
and VOIP will be regulated badly. Especially if some known terrorist will
confess about using Vonage in Afaganistan.....or some of drug dealers/weapon
traders will be cought .....

Bug generraly author of that article is an idiot. He does not understand the
difference beteween VOIP and ISDN PRI.
