That question is probably something that you don't normally ask yourself when you own a business. But in the age of technology and computers this is something to seriously consider. According to this story a man in Winnipeg had $52,000 added to his bill after a hacker(s) gained control of his voice mail. While this seems out of the norm it actually seems very easy to do and it doesn't look like most phone systems have any sort of prevention for this sort of thing. With only a 4 digit code protecting you how safe can you be?
I would definitely read the article and if you or your business has a similar phone system I would check into this. The ironic part is this guy's business is networking and security. This may or may not be something new but it is definitely something to keep an eye on.

Even though this is one more thing to be aware of on top of many others. You raise a really good point with this post. Just another reason why I like Active Rain.
Certainly something I haven't thought about.
All the Best!
I do not understand why the company would do remote transfer. This is certainly a security loop. But it is nice to know. We are in the process of setting up a new company phone system. This comes in handy. We will take all necessary precautions.
Thanks for the info. Why can't people just be honest? I hate hearing new ways of how people can make life difficult for others, but it is useful to have the information.
