[cisco-voip] CCMuser pages or not? (CUCM v7)

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

A hacking attempt is one thing, using a password they obtained from a keyboard logger or a post-it or a shared password that hasn't been changed is another. Even so, we have over 15,000 ports on campus so finding them wouldn't be easy.

IF they find the admin page  and IF they find the user account....... THEN how long would it take to crack the password?  If authentication fails twice...... I get an email.

Our environment here can be considered a bit 'hostile' since we're not using NAC on our wired ports and all ports are pretty much open. I'm not sure even VPN would help, since the same passwords are used, so a stollen password would get them through that.
