Security Issue on Snom Phones
We talk a lot about VoIP Security not because we want to sell you products but because it is an important and interesting subject. We see that a public hacking warning group has found a large security flaw in the web interface of Snom VoIP phones. The Snom phone is very popular with IP telephony business users and has a web interface to enable users to make calls and manage their phone.
gnucitizen.org highlights some of the easy to do breaches. These include makiing arbitary calls via the Web interface, stealing the phone history from the logs, poisoning the address book and the most serious flaw, monitoring the victim by making a phone call to the attacker’s number (at their expense).
The gnucitizen.org group are a responsible group and they are publishing methods of how to make your Snom phone more secure and contacting Snom and their distributors to explain the flaws.
While this article highlights Snom phones it is entirely possible that many other phones have similar problems so watch this space.

Yes i agree with your statement…but need to add some more points. I saw many of my buddies scared about mobile hacking…bcaz they feel unsecured to save there data in the mobile…If you think that your mobile is not secure enough to save the data, then better go for mobile phone recycling and sell them…And purchase some quality mobile phone to save your data from hackers….
