Many companies have fallen victim to fraud from criminals who access a company’s voice messaging system to carry out long distance calls from their system.
Here are a few things you can do to help protect yourself;
- Block the direct outward dialing function.
- Remove any unassigned voicemail boxes.
- Look for newly assigned voicemail boxes (hackers could have created their own) and delete them if possible.
- Program your voicemail system so that it locks after 3 unsuccessful password entry.
- Block the use of dial around 10-10 from your system.
- Program your voice messaging system to require users to change their password every three months or less.
- Make sure to modify manufacturers’ default passwords.
- Employees must avoid using simple passwords and these should be kept confidential.
- Program your messaging system to only accept passwords of 6 characters or more.
- If possible, have pin number on your lines for all outgoing long distance calls.
