"The rise in popularity of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is being
cited by security experts as the reason why vishing is becoming a
problem. VoIP has made calling long distance cheap, which means that
vishing crosses borders; making it hard to trace and or prosecute.

"The BBC article also states that it is relatively easy to spoof
"caller-id" with VoIP. Security Focus recently did an article that
supports this contention. In the article, a hacker easily showed the
reporter how it was done.
