It is an unfortunate fact that the hackers of the world like to plan their attacks on public holidays when network supervision may not be at its highest.
Please remember to be vigilant this Dominion Day (Canada Day for all you young’uns) and guard access to your switches.
AurorA has to deliver any traffic that is sent to it , so you are responsible for any unauthorized access to your network. AurorA will pass on any alerts that it gets of suspicious traffic patterns. AurorA has also implemented automatic blocking of B numbers once we detect a suspicious fraudulent traffic pattern in an attempt to minimize losses.
As highlighted on this blog AurorA has taken other steps such as the weekly reports of suspicous blocked call attempts, robust and accurate dial plan and intensified focus on high quality terminating routes.
Have a safe and happy long weekend !
