If you're thinking that telephone fraud does not happen in Australia or that the risk to your organisation is too small to be concerned about then consider this ...

Each and every day in Australia an organisation suffers a major loss from phone hackers (average cost $78,000)

Anyone with a telephone or voicemail telephone system is at risk. But toll theft is not the only consideration. What would the impact be if your organisation lost use of it’s phones for two hours, four hours or an entire day?

Move your mouse over the newspaper graphic on the right to see what hackers can do once they are in your system:

• Make toll calls at your expense – Canberra example
• Make toll calls at your expense – Sydney $600,000 example
• Listen to your voicemail
• Maliciously reprogram your system
• On-sell use of your system to others
• Disable your organisations voice communications

Telephone network hacking and fraud has become a serious problem in Australia and New Zealand. Corporate network security has focused primarily on computer networks and telephone network security has been largely neglected leaving many organisations at risk.
