Isn't it just great when you learn that Fonality uses a secret remotely-configurable BOT for retrieving certain information from trixbox users? Especially when you know that this BOT can perform any command given? And isn't it even better when you know that Fonality didn't announce that information beforehand to anyone but was more like "caught red-handed"? It is easy to see why people believe this is more like foul play. As I surfed around the trixbox forum I saw some Fonality experts trying to calm down the audience. It is not the actual act that scares people. It is more about the potential threats that could mean everything to a company. And the sneaky way it is used. The good name of Asterisk-based systems should not be stained with covert data-collection hacks and tricks. Read the original article from Nerd Vittles. Source: Read original source |
