Just basing this 50% increase on the number of expected vulnerabilities reported to NIST NVD is, IMHO, speculative and misleading. --scm Seems the VoIP section McAfee report is based on the NIST NVD database of vulnerabilities found in VoIP devices, yet these vulns are referred to as “attacks” — put another way, this report doesn’t seem to speculate on the use of vulnerabilities to conduct actual attacks, or of attacks on VoIP systems.

I think having some incident reports on the blogosphere will help to grow voip security countermeasures maturity. In the last months, we can observe the demultiplication of simple tools that will help to test assets and better clarify the whole security figure around VoIP.
