[VOIPSEC] Phishers Snare Victims With VoIP

[Sylor, Mark]

You may have seen this article on how phishers directed users to call a
fake bank automated voice response system to steal account numbers and
PINs.

Because they used a VOIP service provider to set up their 800 number and
Asterix to set up the voice response system this is a VOIP enabled
security problem more than a security problem with VOIP.

Still, I'm curious how this could be prevented. Is any of the VOIP
Security work being discussed here relevant to this problem?

Thanks,
	Mark
