    I am usually quite good about enforcing passwords, however I didn't pay attention to passwords on our phone systems and sure as heck two offices got hacked due to blank passwords on a few voice mail extensions.

    I'd like to say I was brilliant enough to find out on my own but no, Frontier's fraud department contacted us.

    The hackers find an open voice mail and program it to notify out of country or 900 numbers when a message is left. Some of the extensions were programmed to allow for connection to an outside line, giving the caller free reign to call whoever they wanted.

    Here is an FCC link: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/voice-mail-fraud-beware

    I had to edit each voice mail box - that was fun.

    Some of the numbers they programed were:

    9011639473828256

    9101028816264272506

    9011639392039828#
