It's funny how most of these alarmist "security" articles are written by clueless journalists and cite "Marketing Officers" as sources for their information instead of real security people. Use encryption or tunneling (if you don't mind a bit of latency) if you're in need of extreme security. Anything on the Internet is as secure as you (the admin) make it. Anything insecure is not the fault of the service itself, but the fault of the "expert" in charge of making it secure. There was one good source in the article, which was the MCI tech. He's not too worried, since MCI encrypts all of their voip traffic.
