Telepocalypse

Safe as houses

So a million bank account's have their details stolen by a fraudster (via).

At least we can all rest safe, knowing that our unencrypted public telephony calls are secure; we remain safe in the knowledge that even the least trustworthy person in the network ops centre is as saintly as Mother Teresa and Bono combined.

PS - The PSTN is unsuitable for business use by any business liable to industrial or government espionage. Talk safe -- use Skype. AES is your friend.
