Lotta al terrorismo = creare bug di sicurezza informatica?

Groups Slam FCC on Internet Phone Tap Rule
By CowboyNeal on big-brother-is-listeningkamikaze-Tech writes “An Associated Press report posted in the Vonage VoIP Forums discusses the new CALEA regulations that will make it easier for law enforcement to tap Internet phone calls. The article claims that the new law will also make computer systems more vulnerable to hackers, according to some digital privacy and civil liberties groups.
While the groups don’t want the Internet to be a safe haven for terrorists and criminals, they complain that expanding wiretapping laws to cover Internet calls—or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)—will create additional points of attack and security holes that hackers can exploit. VoIP service providers such as Vonage, Skype and Packet 8 have eighteen months to comply with the new law.”
