| | The Impact of Emerging Technologies: Talking Spam - Technology Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Though no real-life cases of SPIT have been documented, thats largely because there arent enough VoIP users to make it worthwhile for spammers, says Winn Schwartau, president of Interpact, a security consulting company in Seminole, FL. |
 | | But by monitoring factors such as the length of calls and the rate at which calls are being made from particular Internet addresses, Qovias software can identify and block up to 95 percent of SPIT before it reaches its intended recipients, says chief technology officer Choon Shim. |
 | | The company plans to incorporate the technology into its VoIP security software later this year, and if Qovia customers such as Nortel Networks build the software into their systems, SPIT may be one frustration we never have to face. |
