[VOIPSEC] SPIT and vishing

[juanramon.cayon at unavarra.es]

Hello everyobdy, my name is JuanRa and i'm researching about VoIP security
(lil more about me here --> http://www.linkedin.com/in/juanra) and this is
my first message to the list

just wanted to add/ask something about this comments on SPIT.

ok, maybe it's just my ignorance about how things really work here in
VoIP (i'm new on this) but regarding two facts:

 - VoIP and mobile telephony integration
 - existing bluetooth-spreadable viruses

don't they shape an attractive enough scenario to bother setting up a SPIT
operation?
