[VoiceOps] Fraud

[Todd Wolf]

Please share the list of numbers. 

 

We also had a user get hijacked off of an IP phone sitting on the public
internet ahead of the firewall. The user had set his phone up on a
public ip ahead of his router because it was not SIP aware and it had a
weak admin password that was brute forced. The phone was then redirected
to one of these traffic pumping sites.
