[asterisk-biz] Strange request.

[Mobile Wi.Fi]

Hello,

Somehow on this topic I found something interesting while I read some 
adjacent articles about utilisation of VoIP in hacking.
Is amazing how much hacking has evolved:)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_dialer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMiShing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoIP_spam

Has someone knows any asterisk list about security?

Thank you guys and have a nice evening.
