VoIP → Voice over IP

Open discussions about VOIP protocols (e.g. SIP), providers, and related security matters.

There are two other VOIP communities on big centralized instances (thus kept unnamed), and ATM they are rightfully dead communities anyway. This infosec.pub community is apparently the only free-world decentralized threadiverse venue for VOIP chatter -- but if another emerges let the moderator know so it can be linked in this sidebar.

new feature on my VOIP account settings: KYC! (eviltoast.org)

I could not place a call over VOIP, so I logged into my voip account on the website where my account is managed. Saw the usual tabs for checking my balance, call history, profile, etc. Plus a new tab “KYC”.

WTF people. KYC has turned my bank into a police station that pisses all over privacy. What’s going on here? Is it that no one resisted KYC in banking, so now they have decided to start deploying it in other areas?

Entering the KYC tab tells me:

“Your account is unverified. We need:

selfie of you holding your ID card
copy of your ID card
utility bill or bank statement

This is so fucked up. Have any other VOIP users noticed this?

It turns out I can still make calls -- it was just a temporary glitch. But I guess I should ditch this VOIP provider.
