    Nortel Phone System hack international calling

    International hacking of all types has increased by 10-fold in the last few years and the Nortel Phone System hack is no different.

    Understanding the Nortel Phone System Hack

    Even older phone systems, are running software, and that software can be hacked if firmware to secure is not available.

    Most Nortel Hacks involved an insecure password in the voicemail such as “1234” and a caller can guess that.  Once in they can take over the system.

    Once they are into the part of your phone system that allows for the customization of various settings, including those that can prevent toll fraud. Features under Configuration Programming like Restrictions, DISA (Direct Inward System Access), and Class of Service Passwords (COS) are vital for maintaining the security of your system.

    Key Security Measures

    • Change Default Passwords: Norstar systems, for example, come with a default configuration password. It’s crucial that this password is changed immediately after installation to prevent unauthorized access. Hackers who know the default passwords can easily gain access to your system.
    • Implement Dialing Restrictions: You can use Restrictions to block specific area codes, and phone numbers, or even prevent long-distance calls. These can be set up for individual phones, lines, or combinations, ensuring that only authorized calls are made.
    • Secure DISA Feature: DISA allows callers to dial an internal extension or an outside line directly after the system answers. If your business requires off-site employees to make calls billed to the company, make sure DISA is programmed to answer with a stutter dial tone. This tone indicates that a password must be entered before any call can be made, adding an extra layer of security.
