16/Apr/2025

WebRTC softphones are revolutionizing communication today, providing smooth, browser-based calling without the inconvenience of extra hardware. But wait—there's a catch—are you absolutely sure your WebRTC softphone is secure? Cybercriminals are waiting in the wings for vulnerabilities to pounce on! The best news? Voizcall and other leading providers are upping security to ensure your calls remain secure.

Let's explore potential threats and how to safeguard your WebRTC softphone like a pro!

1. Data Leaks & Eavesdropping

WebRTC employs real-time communication, but if encryption isn't deployed correctly, hackers can tap your secret calls! Voizcall provides end-to-end encryption to safeguard the conversation as well as keep it confidential and secure.

2. Phishing Attacks on WebRTC Logins

Ever gotten a suspicious-looking email requesting your VoIP login? That's phishing! Hackers imitate login screens to capture credentials. Always check URLs before inputting credentials, and turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional security.

3. Weak Network Security = Easy Exploits

Using a public Wi-Fi network for your softphone? That's a hacker's dream! Unsecured networks enable cybercriminals to intercept calls and inject malware. Always use a VPN and a trusted network when placing WebRTC calls.

4. Toll Fraud & Unauthorized Call Routing

WebRTC vulnerabilities can be used by hackers to divert costly calls on YOUR bill! The solution? Secure SIP trunking and firewall blocking to prevent unauthorized diversion. Voizcall employs fraud detection to intercept suspicious activity before you get hit hard!

5. DoS Attacks Interrupting Calls

Imagine your softphone slowing down or crashing from simulated traffic overloading your system—that's a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack! Voizcall's intrusion detection system filters out malicious traffic, guaranteeing uninterrupted communication.

6. Malicious WebRTC Plug-ins

WebRTC uses browser extensions and plug-ins, but some are filled with malware that steals information! Install only trusted extensions and steer clear of unfamiliar third-party plug-ins that may breach security.

7. Outdated WebRTC Software Weakens Protection

Using an outdated version of your softphone? That's an invitation to hackers! Updates close holes, so keep up with Voizcall's latest security updates.
