Whatever term you use to describe it – Phone Hacking, Phreaking or Toll Fraud – it comes down to the same thing. It’s organised and malicious crime that could leave your company with an astronomical phone bill containing unauthorised calls to just about anywhere in the world.
Business phone hacking is becoming an increasingly common occurrence and anyone and any business is a target.
“Phreakers” are highly skilled phone engineers who can access phone systems and voicemail in seconds and will reconfigure systems to route their own illegal call traffic through.
Phone hackers can strike at any time but they usually attack after hours or at the weekend when the office phones are idle and detection is unlikely. By the time your office reopens the next working day, the hackers may have already run up a series of costly calls.
