  4. VoIP Network Security
    The arrest of a wholesale VoIP entrepreneur last week for fraud and hacking points to much more than a criminal mind cheating the system ? it brings to light the oft-unspoken fact that VoIP networks have a long way to go in terms of security. The publicity also scares providers and security vendors because they fear losing customers. The federal government on June 8 arrested Edwin Andrew Pena, 23, owner of Fortes Telecom Inc. and Miami Tech & Consulting Inc., for hacking into other providers? networks, routing his customers? calls onto those platforms, then billing those companies and pocketing the proceeds.  This was the ?first large attack on a voice system that?s being reported, emphasizes Andrew Graydon, chair of the security requirements committee of VoIP Security Alliance (VoIPSA). ?It?s known that there have been problems in the industry for a while,? he says, noting that security vendors and VoIP providers have kept a lid on such issues because they don?t want to upset their customers.
