  No.  Network and software security is the responsibility of the admin.  If
  to get the Asterisk Install to work they open the box to the world, then
  they will likely get a costly lesson in network and system security due to
  insecure logins to Asterisk.

  Asterisk/Digium is NOT responsible for securing your server -- YOU are.
  Just like Microsoft is not responsible for keeping spyware and viruses off
  your computer.

PS -- YOU being the server admin, not anyone specifically, in case you were
feeling singled out, YOU.
