Vonage That's where you're mistaken, if vonage is your only service, or you mistakenly
That's where you're mistaken, if Vonage is your only service, or you mistakenly communicate credit card or other privacy-act information via it's service. Yes, there's a lot of data that is sent, but depending on the amount of conversation that happens, one minute of conversation is ~ 1MB of raw captured data. With hard-disk storage technology and compression, hundreds of minutes of conversation can be captured and reviewed at a later date.
Better yet, it could be triggered based on the phone call... if you call your bank, someone could kick off an automated capture and gather information about your banking habits, or what not.
What if you call a company to order PC parts, or other equipment via the phone. You have to provide a method of payment which typically includes a credit card number, expiration date, and potentially the code on the back of the credit card (the security number).
With all that information, and the ability to actually play back your voice providing that information, who is to stop individuals from making fraudulent purchases with your financial data?
Why do you think banks require https encryption for that data, should not voice communications go through the same process? I do this for a living, I know what I'm talking about. I'm not taking this personally, I'm just trying to make sure people are aware of the dangers associated with unencrypted data communications.
Heck I can demonstrate how easy it is to capture conversations, or decode AIM messages, or even to show you how easy it is to decode your webpages you surf and display them via a simple perl script, and tcpdump (or other libpcap compatable capture program).
This is a serious matter that Vonage needs to consider if they want to continue to grow, and compete with traditional telephone service.
