If you’re happy with your internet-based phone system, you’re not the only one.
Hackers love VoIP. It was developed before broadband and modern cybersecurity threats. Though most providers now offer security, the service has traditionally lagged behind its computer-based peers in safety measures, and is scrambling to catch up.
