Voice Mail Systems

Your voice mail system permits callers to leave verbal messages for
system users or gain access to the backup position in an emergency as
well as create and distribute voice messages among system users.
The voice mail system, through proper administration, can help you
reduce the risk of unauthorized persons gaining access to the network.
However, phone numbers and authorization codes can be compromised
when overheard in a public location, are lost through theft of a wallet or
purse containing access information, or through carelessness (writing

hackers may use a computer to dial an access code and then publish the
information to other hackers. Substantial charges can accumulate quickly.
