There was a disturbing piece on one of the German TV channels the other evening. It showed how the cordless phones that most people are using nowadays can be hacked with a laptop and the necessary software. It seems they are as wide open as a barn door and that only an old-fashioned handset with a cable is secure.
But how about the so-called 'Skype phones' that work via an Internet router? I've heard that Skype encryption is so good that it's a worry even for the likes of GCHQ and NSA.
It would be interesting to hear comments about the security (or insecurity) of cordless phones and, in particular, whether the same applies to Skype phones.
