Phone Phreaking
Phone Phreaking, Toll Fraud, Phone System Hacking - It's all the same thing and costs UK Businesses £1.3 Billion per annum.
What is Phone Phreaking?
It's when your phone system has been compromised by a person with malicious intent. Typically it is either the admin interface or a users voicemail that is targeted. A Phreaker or hacker can often gain access in a matter of seconds. Once in they can re-route calls to anywhere they like, using your phone lines so YOU pay for the call. More often than not it is international or premium rate destinations and calls takes place out of hours and at weekends so you don't notice the lines in use. In fact you are only made aware when your phone bill lands.
Phone Phreaking is conducted by organised criminals and terrorists. Credit cards are now getting more secure so an unprotected phone system is a soft target that can often be hacked in milliseconds.
