According to EILEEN SULLIVAN with AP, unauthorized calls to the middle east were placed over the FEMA phone system causing an estimated damage of $12,000 in call charges to organization - A part of homeland security Dept.
The organization is blaming the undisclosed contractor/integrator of the newly installed voicemail system for not securing the system.
I'm just guessing here, but it sounds like someone left an unprotected DISA access or didn't enforce user PIN codes policy allowing the phreaker to user default vendor PIN codes to configure call forward to the middle eastern destination number.
