Yahoo Voice was a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), PC-PC, PC-Phone and Phone-to-PC telecommunications service. It was provided by Yahoo via its Yahoo Messenger instant messaging application.
Yahoo Voice used the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), GIPS codec and the Dialpad engine for voice transport. After 2008 the service was provided by JAJAH, an external VoIP provider.
In July 2012, Yahoo Voice was compromised and 453,491 email addresses and passwords were stolen using SQL injection. A 17 MB text file containing the stolen passwords was released by a group of hackers called D33DS company. Yahoo announced the end of Yahoo Voice on January 30, 2013.
