Common questions about voice security

Why is preventing this fraud my or companies responsibility?

PBXs are the most common vehicle phreakers use for their crimes. Only you have access control over your phone system. So you`re responsible not only for its security but also for all call charges incurred from it. Moreover, only you can identify which calls made from your phone system are legitimate and which are fraudulent.

We are a small business. Why would phreakers attack us?

Phreakers search globally for unsecured phone systems to harvest for their own use. And this search is continuous. They don`t care how big or small your business is. No one is safe. Worst of all for you if you do get hacked, you`re probably less likely to be able to absorb the average loss incurred from a phreaking event and the size of the bill would be enough to bankrupt many organizations. It`s really important you and your staff understand the need to protect your business and especially your phone system from this fraud now and to take steps to prevent unauthorized access to it.

Why isn`t my current PBX secure then?  

The resident security in your PBX was enough to keep you secure in the past but not now. Phreakers,

like the criminals, are becoming cleverer all the time in ways to a attack and invade your phone system and they can easily circumvent this security now.

If I or my company gets attacked, who pays for the calls?

You or your company will. You are responsible for all calls made from your phone system whether or not you or your staff made them and whether or not your carrier/airtime provider has taken any steps or managed to stop or block fraudulent calls.
