Ban corporate Skype usage, says Info-Tech
Technology industry analyst firm Info-Tech Research Group is telling enterprises to ban Skype from their organizations.

"Companies that are already banning peer-to-peer applications, such as instant messaging, should add Skype to its list of unsanctioned software programs," says Info-Tech analyst Ross Armstrong.

"Approximately 17 million registered Skype users are using the service for business purposes," says Armstrong. "Unless an organization specifies instances where Skype use is acceptable, and outlines rules for client-side Skype settings, that's 17 million opportunities for a hacker to invade a corporate network."

Comments Armstrong, "The bottom line is that even a mediocre hacker could take advantage of a Skype vulnerability. If you are going to use Skype within enterprise, manage it as you would any other IT service: with policy and diligence."

Booooooo! Man, this is the greatest VoIP in the world. I talk to my daughter in Italy nearly every day from Canada, on her land line phone for 1.7 Euro cents a minute. How could that be bad, except for phone companies. but then I suppose it's a preamble to other issues. Oh my!
