Tips for a secure phone system
Like any device connected to the internet, VoIP phones can be targeted by hackers, many of these hackers are sophisticated and intend to hijack business phones for illicit calls leading to fraud, theft and other crime. Losing essential dollars to hackers can severely damage your bottom line. Secure settings, software updates and active monitoring of your phones router and phone system will help prevent intrusions, save you money, time and man power.
Many VoIP systems with pre-set passwords left unchanged are easy targets due to pre-set passwords being available online
your admin password should be the hardest to crack!
NAT is a feature on a router that provides your VoIP phones, computers and other devices with a private IP address that can only been seen on your local area network (LAN) . If a hacker cant discover your Private IP address then he cant manipulate and enter remotely.
NAT provides another layer of protection between your VoIP phone and any individuals who may try and exploit it.
Your business phones web interface is probably its most vulnerable point of entry. it is a helpful tool when used in the right context, but can be a prime target for hackers who want t manipulate your business phone for fraudulent purposes
Port 80 is particularly susceptible to hackers because the traffic is HTTP, meaning hackers can potentially burrow into port 80 on your router and access the web interface as if it was a public website.
Until you close Port 80 your phones web interface will have a public IP address that anyone can access through the internet
If you don’t need to make international calls for your daily operations, it makes sense to completely disable international calling.
If international calling is absolutely needed, make sure to regularly monitor your phone records
If you suspect you have been a victim of hacking, immediately disable the compromised device, generate a call detailed report to find out exactly joe many unauthorized calls were made using your phone system. Then call your service provider to report the incident and secure your devices.
