BOSTON (Reuters) - Hackers with a Vonage Holdings Corp (VG.N) phone
subscriber's name and telephone number could intercept Internet phone calls
by exploiting a weakness in the system, a security firm said on Wednesday. 

Vonage spokesman Charles Sahner declined comment on the report by Sipera
Systems of Richardson, Texas, which said it informed Vonage of the problem
more than a month ago. Vonage had not responded, Sipera said.

Vonage, which has almost 2.5 million customers, was a pioneer in the
business of selling low-cost phone services that use the Internet to connect
calls instead of traditional phone wires.
