Compression lets attackers tap VoIP calls
A common compression technique can make internet telephone calls significantly more susceptible to bugging, according to recent research from Johns Hopkins University.
Internet telephony has become widely used through consumer-centric applications such as Skype, and is becoming more common in enterprises.
