[HIB]PABX Fraud increases fourfold

[newsbot]

Fraudsters are targeting unsecured PABX’s in New Zealand and getting away with hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The incidence of fraud has increased fourfold in 2010 with an estimated 30 – 40 New Zealand companies getting hit by international PABX fraudsters every month. Leaving your PABX unsecured is like leaving your PIN numbers or bank account details and access codes pinned to your front door. Security of your PABX is easily as important as the security of your PC, it’s relatively easy to defraud you of thousands of dollars if you haven’t made your system secure. Who’s at risk? Often this is now the small businessman or woman with a PABX (often their first). In one recent case it was an individual who had downloaded a free software-based VoIP PABX and installed it on their home computer.
