Vonage I have never heard of credit card information theft occurring over a VOIP line.
I have never heard of credit card information theft occurring over a Voip line. However, I HAVE heard of credit card theft occurring by hacking into various, large and secured credit card data bases. It seems that any hacker with a sufficient degree of expertise in sniffing and assembling packets would go for a concentration of this information in a database that is dedicated to this information rather than waste his/her time with an occasional credit card transaction over a Voip line.
If credit card information is to be compromised, I think it is much more likely that it will come from a major financial institution, where there are tens of thousands of accounts, rather than the, relatively, few credit card transactions that a small businessman would process over his Voip line.
Having said this I would add that while it may be technically possible to hack a Voip line for the purposes of which you speak, it is highly unlikely that it would happen because it is easier and more profitable to hack into a financial institution's credit card data base.
