SECURITYlALERT:
Your voice messaging 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 messaging system, through proper programming, 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 or are lost either through theft of a
wallet or purse containing access information or through carelessness
(writing codes on a piece of paper and improperly discarding them).
Additionally, hackers may use a computer to dial an access code and then
publish the information to other hackers. Substantial charges can
accumulate quickly. It is your responsibility to take appropriate steps to
implement the features properly, evaluate and program the various
restriction levels, protect and carefully distribute access codes.
