<p class="MsoNormal">Today I was hacked but caught it very quickly. This is the weird part, they hacked an IP Auth based account by simply knowing the account name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
How is this possible? I am running Asterisk 11.5.0. Now it’s my fault I used a dictionary based account name but how did they bypass the set ip I had under the account for this host.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This also happened with fail2ban running and I pay for Humbug . Nothing caught it. Its just chance that I happen to be in the CLI and noticed it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a span of 30 minutes they had made over $200 worth of calls all to the same number .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have any idea on this and any ideas on preventing this.<o:p></o:p></p>
