Malicious hackers are turning their attention to the technology behind net phone calls, says a report.
The biannual Symantec Threat Report identified Voice over IP (Voip) systems as a technology starting to interest hi-tech criminals.
The report predicted that within 18 months, Voip will start to be used as a "significant" attack vector.
As well as prompting new attacks, Voip could also resurrect some old hacking techniques, warned the report.

Snuffie is a Chinese Shar-Pei who is also the site's mascot. He's an incredibly charismatic and ridiculous dog who provides no end of suffering to his owner, Brian. While visitors to ICHQ frequently laugh at his antics, he is a thorn in the sides of Brian and Lincoln, who often have to chase him around the neighborhood because he jumped the fence again.
Snuffie is why we can't have nice things.
