Visualizing a VOIP security attack

With the increase in popularity of VOIP telephony, attacks are becoming more prevalent. The compromise of a VOIP system can cost the victim over $100,000 in real cash. For example, an Australian based company suffered $120,000 in toll fraud as a result of a VOIP compromise.

Combining two of our interest areas (VOIP attacks and visualization), through Dataviz Australia I compiled a video which is intended to be a high level (if not stylized) visualization of the early stages of a cyber criminal compromising a VOIP system.
