FEMA voicemail system hacked
A hacker used an old-school technique to hack into the FEMA voicemail system and make $12,000.00 worth of calls to the Middle East and Asia. FEMA, which is under the Deparment of Homeland Security, should be very thankful to Sprint; it was Sprint that noticed the calls and stopped long distance access.
Lessons learned? If you’re allowing your voicemail system to initiate outbound calls, its a good idea to lock it down. Use good password. Require passwords to be changed from the default. And, really only allow outbound calls when absolutely required.
