Jan 16, 2013 With this change Fritz!Box will switch from 'G.729a' or G.726-32 and what-not to using the G711 voice codec. You can verify this by making a test call over VoIP then connecting with the web browser to the Fritz!Box admin interface and in advanced mode goto 'Own Telephone Numbers' then click on the 'Voice.
My Net Fone have been hacked. There are three calls on my account to Somalia. MNF said it was only applicable to those with Fritz routers.
The distributors of Fritz say it's all at My Net Fones end and I believe them as the three calls are not registered on my modem. So, MNF, please tell us about this hacking and what is being done about it. Edit, I am unable to call out on mnf, I get the message that the network is down. Calling them now, very busy at the moment?? Any reps online to explain what's happening. I got the call from MNF as well with calls to Somalia in my call history. Apparently they retrieved the MNF details by hacking into the Fritz box so they don't need to be making the calls via the fritz box and they won't appear in your log.
If we are to believe what they are saying. I just happened to logon to MNF and found I had no credit whan there should have been $20.00. I then discovered the calls to Somalia. The MNF guy who I could not understand was in a Fiji call center and knew less than me. He also tried to tell me that my Fritzbox had been hacked, however, when I phoned PC Range they said it was not my Fritz, but, the MyNetFone servers. Now when I try to make a call via MNF, I get the message on my Fon, Network is down. I phoned MNF support again and the Fiji bloke was not able to tell me anything, he could not even confirm if the network was down or not.
I have been with MNF for many years, however, I think I may have to look for another provider. Hi Netnode, We saw an increased amount of VoIP fraud over the weekend. Most of these customers are running a Fritz Box and have HTTPS remote management enabled. It's hard not to draw to conclusions that perhaps a security exploit has been found on this CPE. Paul iiVoice Engineer Why am I getting the error that the network is down? Is it down or do I have the problem at my end?
Why do I have to wait until your investigation is complete for a refund of the calls to somalia? Is my account still compromised? Hi Netnode, Sorry let me clarify. I have nothing to do with Mynetphone. If you look at my tag I work for iiNet.
So when I say 'we' saw an increased amount of VoIP fraud over the weekend. I mean the iiNet group of Telco's. I can only go by what I have seen and most of the VoIP fraud over the iiNet group were using a type of Fritz box. You'll have to contact your provider to find out exactly why your account is not working. I can only speculate that due to the VoIP fraud that your account may be suspended? Netnode, Read what Rob73 is saying.
I got the call from MNF as well with calls to Somalia in my call history. Apparently they retrieved the MNF details by hacking into the Fritz box so they don't need to be making the calls via the fritz box and they won't appear in your log.
Hack Password Gmail
If there is an exploit on the your router, then they don't need your router to use your MyNetFone account. They will just use your configuration (login and password) from another server or device. If they have registered with MyNetFone under your details, it could also explain why you may not be able to make calls out. First step I would be taking is changing your MyNetfone password (so your phone account can't be used for more calls) Next step I would be taking is resolving your vulnerability on your router (Firmware update??) Then put your new password in your router. Whilst I am no MyNetFone fan, you cant blame them if your equipment is insecure.From what I can see there are a few exploits including back to 2014, but the recent exploit in May may have kicked off the scripts again looking for this exploit as well as the older ones. The recent exploit particularly goes and grabs the VoIP Credentials, which runs in line with what I said above, that they have your credentials and away they go. As for the vendors saying that its all MyNetFone's end, absolutely it is after they have your credentials after grabbing them from your Router.
Anyhow, a lot of the above is all theoretical as I don't have trail of your situation, but it is very likely this is what has occurred based on the information available. I had this same issue this morning, not with MyNetFone as the provider but with a Fritzbox 7390 router. The remote HTTPS access was already disabled but the MyFritz! Remote access service was enabled. I've since disabled that and updated all my passwords (router plus VOIP accounts) but without knowing exactly what the vulnerability is I'm going to keep a close eye on it. I was already running all the latest firmware updates on the router. If possible might be a good idea to enable call barring on overseas calls if you don't have need for them.
$75 in charges, awaiting a call back on whether I'm getting billed for that or not. I'm using Internode. I spoke to them early this morning before it was apparent that the Fritz may have been the issue, they got onto it pretty quickly and suspended the account when fraud was suspected. Just in the middle of writing up a support request to PC Range with the details, will be interested in what they have to say.
Might be an idea to get a mod to move this out of MyNetFone as it does appear to be a broader issue. I think MNF are right in saying they are not to blame for the hacking. It is obviously a vulnerability in the Fritzboxes that has allowed the hackers access.
According to this, the vulnerability was first noticed at least two months ago. I would imagine it having been resolved in the latest firmware but I really do not know. I do not believe there is any obligation on MNF's part to refund any lost credit. If they did, it would be as a gesture of goodwill without any admission of blame. There are many cases of VSPs refunding credit in these sorts of circumstances as happened to me when some of my Freshtel credit went missing due to fraud.
Still, it is up to the VSP how they want to handle it. According to this, the vulnerability was first noticed at least two months ago. I would imagine it having been resolved in the latest firmware but I really do not know. There has not been a firmware update for the last 8 months and the last one was only a beta to fix a similar issue. They (PC Range) should have known about the exploit and informed us, their customers and issued new firmware to fix it.
I know PC Range are distributors, however, they have to have some responsibility directed at them. This morning I also have calls to Somalia on my MyNetFone account, and also another MNF account that manage. An auto top up notification alerted me. I rang MNF support and the girl was very helpful. After talking with her superiors, she told me that they had a few toll fraud incidents involving FritzBoxes and offered to swap for one of the VoIP boxes MNF have available. MNF barred international and global calls on my account, and changed my VoIP log in password. She advised me to change any other account passwords that were stored in my Fritzbox.
Both Fritzboxes, are 7272 running 06.20 firmware. Both had the two MNF account details that had made calls to Somalia, so I cannot work out which one was hacked, or both. Other VoIP providers are in both boxes, but so far, there have been no other mystery calls made on other providers. An auto top up notification alerted me. I rang MNF support and the girl was very helpful.
After talking with her superiors, she told me that they had a few toll fraud incidents involving FritzBoxes and offered to swap for one of the VoIP boxes MNF have available. You were lucky, when I phoned the guy didn't want to acknowledge anything. I wasn't offered a MNF voip box either? I think I will ditch my fritzbox, when I bought it they advertised one of the features as being updated often.
Eight months on a beta firmware when they knew about this exploit is criminal. EDIT: As it's not fit for the purpose I have asked PC Range to refund me for the POS. It's not the first time this has happened either. My Net Fone have been hacked. First of all, MyNetFone have NOT been hacked.
At around 4:30AM this morning, our system picked up an unusual high volume of call traffic to Somalia through some of our customer's VoIP endpoints and the moment we saw this, we suspect it was a possible toll fraud and temporary suspended all International call traffic until we isolated the suspected endpoints. And then at around before 9AM this morning, after we managed narrow down and identified a few of our customers' endpoints which was affected by the toll fraud, we lifted the barring, and leave those affected customers' service in quarantine. MNF said it was only applicable to those with Fritz routers. We only identified all those calls to Somalia were made from affected VoIP endpoints which was registered on Fritz!box. We can't comment why it only affect Fritz!box, but we did received reports from several customers a few months earlier of potential security flaws and it was mentioned here - So, MNF, please tell us about this hacking and what is being done about it. Aforementioned earlier, we already isolated and temporarily barred blocked International calls on those customers' affected VoIP endpoints. We have advised all customers who are affected to update their device firmware or software to the latest version to address any potential security flaws and then perform a factory reset after a firmware /software upgrade to ensure that the software changes have taken effect.
We also strongly advise customer to disable any remote login capability into that device because toll fraud can easily happen when the attacker have gained access to the end-users devices through remote login and steal their VoIP endpoints detail. Once you have ensure that your device is secured, you can contact us again and we will change your VoIP endpoint passwords as further precaution and lift up the block to International calls. I am sorry Jarad, however, when I contacted PC Range support they said it was hacked at MNF and not their fritzbox. At one stage I had the MNF call center person on one phone and a guy from PC Range on the other phone, I was relaying to both of them what was being said. The MNF rep was blaming the fritz and the bloke from PC Range was blaming MNF. I am just an average user with limited knowledge, I believed what I was told in the first instance by PC Range. I now know that I was being told a heap of crap by PC Range.
Especially now someone has posted on here about the exploit found in early June. Quentin from PC Range is generally very quick to defend his brand, however, his absence in this thread is concerning to say the least. There is no update to the firmware, there are no fixes being put forward by PC Range, what do we do to prevent this happening again?
Not much I think, hence my reason for wanting to return the POS for a refund. EDIT: I was never sent an email as others were, why? I don't believe that the Fritz!Box is at fault. A hacker rarely gets through first time, it is only after multiple tries using different username/password combinations they might hit jackpot.
I believe the hack is external, who knows what or when MNF was hacked? MNF at this stage is even unable to tell me the IP address of the device that allegedly used my credentials and I have a fixed IP. They also were unable to tell me how many non-fritzbox accounts were compromised. The various alert links posted leave me confused, I can't see where it mentions firmware version or specific vector to the vulnerability. My logs show NO unauthorised login attempts, no unauthorised calls – ever.
Each time you try to access a Fritz!Box with an incorrect password, the timeout between permitted attempts increases. The 7 Fritz!Boxes I look after also show no evidence of unauthorised login attempts. If a Holden was the most common car out there, it stands to reason that the Holden would be the most unreliable, the most crashed, stolen, etc. I suspect this is the case with the Fritz!Box here.
IiNet via Internode sell the device as a VoIP router, there would be thousands in circulation. As a precaution I have disabled remote access on the Fritz!Boxes I maintain until this is resolved. I don't believe that the Fritz!Box is at fault. A hacker rarely gets through first time, it is only after multiple tries using different username/password combinations they might hit jackpot look at this Exploit 1 (Published: 2014-04-08) Different Fritz!Box devices are vulnerable to an unauthenticated OS command injection.

Fritz Box Password Change
We posted full details at the time. No one has lied about anything, there are no known vulnerabilities, here or with AVM. AVM certainly wouldn't allow an issue so serious to remain unchecked for this long. Please ensure that everyone has latest firmware. Also if you haven't changed passwords etc since security patch was implemented as above then please do so. As long as you've followed these steps your Fritz!Box should be secure. There are no new vulnerabilities.
Also the latest beta release has been fully tested here & by AVM. This is only classed as a beta version because it's an interim release to resolve a specific issue. Hi all, I know this started out as a MNF thread, but it seems to have changed to a Fritz!box thread, so I thought I would mention the following.
I had these calls made from my Maxotel account, draining my balance, which thankfully was low. I made NONE of these calls, and in fact, I currently don't have any VOIP numbers set up in my router (Which is a Fritz!Box BTW). Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this sort of thing in their Maxotel accounts.

I'm not saying the Fritz have a new security exploit (I don't know). But I do know if you didn't have a Fritz box you wouldn't have been affected in the latest round of Toll Fraud. For the customers of Fritz boxes have you changed all your passwords since being on the latest firmware? There's a good chance the hackers have retrieved your VoIP credentials when you were vulnerable and chosen not to use them until they have x amount of accounts and then they go for gold on one particular weekend.
Weekends/public holidays are generally very popular as I assume the hackers assume it will go undetected (no staff noticing it). But our automated VoIP fraud systems still pick this up. This is nothing new.
I was kept busy last Christmas holidays as a lot of Asus modems had some sort of exploit. Paul iiVoice Engineer. This is definitely not an isolated issue to MNF. The common denominator here is the Fritz box. I'm not saying the Fritz have a new security exploit (I don't know).
But I do know if you didn't have a Fritz box you wouldn't have been affected in the latest round of Toll Fraud. Thanks for your help, it seems that owners of FritzBoxes are going to be screwed. I say that as Quentin is refusing to acknowledge that there is a vulnerability whilst at the same time refusing to place the blame on My Net Fone.
It's not too difficult in a process of elimination to suggest that there is a security exploit in the Fritz. Only FritzBoxes affected A few different voip providers were compromised. A new warning issued on the exploit I don't know what else PC Range want in the way of evidence to get them to do something about this?
It bloody annoys me as I have invested a few dollars in this system, 5 fon phones and the router were not cheap. Do I now trash it all and find a router that actually does as it says? Shit guys, I got an email from Telecube and found that I've been hit. We have seen reports online of Fritzbox routers being hacked and credentials used for making high cost international calls and want to bring your attention to it.
We can see that you have registered at one point with a Fritzbox router and thought it might be prudent to disable international calls on your account until you can contact the supplier and see if your device is vulnerable. If you want us to disable international calls please reply to this email and let us know. I changed my passwords on several of my voip accounts.
Looks like I'll have to deal with any lost funds. EDIT: On latest firmware version and not using default admin password. It's also a good idea to remove auto top-ups from your VSP(s) and to keep your balance(s) to a practical minimum. That way, the maximum amount you will lose is your balance. It is a fact of life that systems get hacked from time to time so we should do everything possible to limit our losses. Also, be vigilant and check your balance(s) regularly. Also, if you never call overseas, ask your VSP to restrict your account to domestic calls only.
Telecube does this by default. I did this with my Freshtel account after it was hacked.
I only use it to make 13(00) calls so there is no need to have international calling activated on that particular account. MyNetFone are blaming the Fritz Tuesday about the complaint you raised The Toll Fraud was only affected to the customers having Fritz Box as their Device, no other customer was affected If the MyNetFone’s Network would have been hacked all our VOIP customers would have been affected but the customers with Fritzbox have only been affected So this is a clearly due to device security, so we cannot refund the amount. How long will we have to wait to hear anything from AVM, they should have made some comment via their Aussie Agent by now. I know my router, for what it's worth is set to update automatically.
The last update was about 8 months ago and that was a beta!! My firmware is up to date with 6.20, what can I do to fix this? If you hadn't changed your passwords after upgrading to 6.20, it's possible your old passwords were stolen.
If 6.20 did indeed fix the vulnerability, you should be safe with the new passwords. However, at this stage, it is not clear whether a new vulnerability has been exploited. If I were you, I would not enable international calling until you hear back from AVM or PCRange. You could still make international calls via either an ATA/IP phone or from an app on your smartphone (Zoiper, CSipSimple, Acrobits, etc.).
Or you could use ANI Callback. Provided no new vulnerability is in existence, you should be OK. However, this is by no means clear at this stage. I did everything right after the last exploit, updated to the beta firmware 6.20 and changed my passwords etc. However, given that I still got hacked suggests to me the same as others have said, the hackers have found away round the fix or it's a new exploit. Which leaves me very concerned about my security and the absence of any substantial statements from PC Range and or AVM is adding to my anxiety.
Which leaves me very concerned about my security I have been concerned about the safety of all -in-ones for a while. Maybe the fritz is different but most have voip open to the public and are not even behind a nat. This makes them ideal for users to setup and not be troubled with nat issues etc. Nat however is a natural firewall as it keeps a table of sessions of traffic passing through from lan to the internet and records local public ip:port and remote ip:port. It then examines incoming traffic and if it doesnt match the details in one of these sessions ( assuming no PF,dmz) then the pkt is dropped. Far more secure using an ip phone or an ata connected to a modem/router to stand between them and the internet.
I think we are always going to be little more than an afterthought for companies like AVM and Gigaset. Low priority due to the small market. I wouldn't mind, IF the price reflected the quality or lack of. To the person who suggested I am overacting, the business of business is business and if I acted as AVM and PC Range are doing in this instance I would have been out of business. Is it unreasonable to expect service when a product I purchased becomes faulty within the warranty period?
I want a guarantee that it's safe to use with all the functions and features advertised in the first instance? I feel sorry for the poor buggars that are unaware of the problem as only a small majority of owners would be on this forum. That's unless, PC Range have done the right thing and notified all their customers who in turn should let their customers know. I want a guarantee that it's safe to use with all the functions and features advertised in the first instance?
If you want a guarantee, then you shouldn't connect anything to the Internet. While the Internet exists, there will always be those who want to cause havoc and fraud. One only has to look at the major corporations and government bodies around the world that have been hacked into in recent times. Everyone connected is vulnerable, it's no ones fault except for the perpetrators and it is impossible to shut each and everyone of them down. So, in the end you are over reacting, you either live with the possibility of being hacked again or you don't connect to the Internet, the choice is yours.
FRITZ!Box – a safe bet Play it safe with FRITZ!Box. Each device boasts a comprehensive range of security features to safeguard your communication. We continuously test and refine these features, and give you peace of mind with free updates. More BS FRITZ!Box products, both hard and software, are all developed in house by AVM. Regular, free updates to the FRITZ!OS operating system are integral to the FRITZ!Box concept and keep all devices up to date with the current state of technology. I'm another one who has been affected. I have MNF accounts, but also PennyTel and others.
I've changed all my passwords and I've disabled MyFritz! Access (I thought I had already done that!
PennyTel allows you to set a limit on the monthly recharge. I have a monthly limit of $10, so I should be ok, even if someone were to use that account. The account is for my mother-in-law, and I don't really want to change the password, because then her device won't be able to make/receive calls until I can get to her house and update the settings.
They do, youre just pissed off and conflating whats being said to what you think it should be saying. Read my post again. Did you read where AVM say regular updates and that they keep all devices up to date with the current state of technology. All spin as there has not been a regular update for eight months, we have been on a beta firmware for 8 months! OK, forget the guarantee, however, if they advertise a product as being safe, then I expect it to be safe! Rhom, are you affected by this?
I expect that you are not and would be as pissed off as we all are if you owned a fritzbox at this moment. Rhom, are you affected by this? I expect that you are not and would be as pissed off as we all are if you owned a fritzbox at this moment. Oh i have to be affected before i can comment about you going bonkers over it? I use an ssh tunnel on a 5 digit port number through the fritzbox to a socks server running on a synology nas, and authentication is by client certificate only, i was never tempted to just enable remote access to it as i dont trust anything that simple but even doing it the way i do theres a small chance they could hack in.
I can understand being pissed about it but security isnt a single layer, add depth, learn from it. Its like using known ports, it lets the easy ones in, change ports, make them work for it, too much work and theyll move on to the next ip address. One of the users I look after was relieved of $61 call credits to Somalia over the weekend. To MNF's credit, they blocked his account and emailed him to advise.
All my users have had their MNF passwords changed today and top-ups changed to monthly or cancelled, Bpay to take its place. I doubt that only Australian users are affected, there are probably users everywhere suffering from this attack.
I am certain European AVM staff and PCRange staff are working overtime to work out what happened and how it happened. When that is known then an emergency firmware release no doubt will come out as soon as possible, maybe in 3 or 4 weeks - this is what happened last time an exploit became public, but I don't recall the scale of it being anything like this. In the meantime, block remote access altogether if possible.
If that is not practical, then change the https access port to some undocumented unused port. We don't know if the MyFRITZ!
Service is a factor, so best to turn that off too. Stay calm and wait for further advice. Getting excited will not speed up the process of resolution and may even slow things down by wasting Quentin's time. I am nowhere as competent as you appear to be and that's one reason why I bought a fritzbox. Google is how i did it, just takes time to figure it all out Quentin from PC Range is forever saying that the fritzbox was designed to make things easy for people like me and that's why there are only limited tweaks available. It does make things much easier but sometimes that can have downsides.
Plus theyre german, they push out changes to the german firmware much more often than ours but thats a downside of a global product (that i dont think was ever really meant to go global) Mate, I was in the Navy and a port to me is where ships dock. You need to log into you VoIP account portal to check for the calls there. And as far as I can tell, MNF does not let you monitor those calls in real time, unlike providers like PennyTel. BTW, I had 'Internet access to the FRITZ!Box via HTTPS enabled' turned OFF.
However, 'MyFRITZ! Enabled for this FRITZ!Box' was turned ON, so that must have been the hole; which is frustrating, because I thought I had turned it off after the last security scare! I wasn't even using this service! I doubt I'll ever trust this service again. For me, I'll likely go back to a DD-WRT Router setup with separate VoIP devices, etc. It's just that it is more complicated for my family when something goes wrong. The Fritz!Box made it easy for them.
Obviously not This is exactly the same old vulnerability previously reported that has already been patched with 6.03 firmware early last year. There are no new vulnerabilities since then. If indeed this occurred with the Fritz!Box then attack occurred prior to this. Please see official response from AVM: 'This is the exact same 'old' issue that has been already patched with the firmware update.
CVE-2014-9727 refers to an already known and fixed security issue of the FRITZ!Box models dating back to February 2014. We don't know the reasons why NIST released CVE-2014-9727 on, almost 15 month after the fixing of the security vulnerability. However, for all FRITZ!Box users who missed the security update in February 2014, we highly recommend to update their devices now. Update instructions as well as some extra security advices can be found on the AVM website: Customers with additional FRITZ! Products please check this link too: ' Cheers.
Further to the above from AVM: in the past we saw two different type of abuse scenarios: 1. The voip credentials were stolen from the device using the method described here: Attackers got hold of the credentials from the device and used the voice accounts with their automated clients in other networks. The linkt to obtain the FRITZ!Box voice credentials is namend on the above site and – if the box is running an older firmware – should still work. If the box is running a recent firmware, it is not possible to use that method to get hold of the user credentials. However, due to differences in network architectures, it wasn't always possible to register a SIP client from a different network/from outside of the operator's network.
That is why they used a 2nd way to still being able to use the voice accounts from within the operator's network: 2. The voice accounts were used by hijacking the FRITZ!Box, creation of an IP telephony device and remote-registering to that device from the internet. So in this scenario, the attackers created an IP telephony device, made this device available from the internet and registered to the FRITZ!Box from the outside. So it was possible to use the voice accounts within the network. Those mechanisms were still used in the last waves of attacks we saw. That is why it was crucial to change credentials (every type of credential there is on the CPE) to make sure, neither scenario 1 or scenario 2 are still useable.
However, attack #2 is usually easy to spot because there is an IP telephony device in the setup of the box which was not created by the user. And usually there is a hint in the FRITZ!Box support-data from where the last login from the internet was done. That is why this could actually help. However, this is only helpful if:. the box is on an older firmware version.
the box remote access is active and credentials were not changed If the attack was done by using the voip credentials on a different SIP client somewhere else on the internet, we can't see anything on the FRITZ!Box itself. All passwords configured in router, including those mentioned above & login passwords for any other users you may've granted access. Thanks Quentin, I disabled remote access and changed my user password yesterday until I can trust this device again but I could still logon (locally) with my old password. Changing the password via System Fritzbox Users and then edit on the user name did not change the logon password used to logon however changing it via the pull down menu option 'Change Password' did.
What's the difference between the 2 methods apart from the fact that only one seems to work? (Fritzbox 7390 running FRITZ!OS 1 BETA) BTW I tried clicking on the handy help link 'What are FRITZ!Box users and how are they set up?' Which gives Page not available.
You clicked an event message or a Help button for which no further explanations are available at this time. What's the difference between the 2 methods apart from the fact that only one seems to work? Hi It just depends whether you choose login via a username & password (as also used for remote access') for each user, set under the 'user' tab (Option 1), or whether you just use a general router password (Option2). If you choose the second option then you enter password in box underneath, as per screen shot below: The first option allows for different logins for each user. Click on the '?'

I had these calls made from my Maxotel account, draining my balance, which thankfully was low.
I made NONE of these calls, and in fact, I currently don't have any VOIP numbers set up in my router (Which is a Fritz!Box BTW). Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this sort of thing in their Maxotel accounts. OUT26-Jul 10:48 AM29602SOMALIAConnected.1s0.4084 That's the same number that was called from my MNF account. Do you think it is a relay number of some sort?
Do you think people who are calling that number know it is something dodgy? I just tried calling it from my mobile phone, but the call won't connect - I'm guess Vodafone has that number blocked (and maybe all calls to Somalia). Today I tried to ring MNF from my VoIP numbers and was disconnected after being told 'You have insufficient credit'.
I had just paid $20 on 1/8/15! – so my account has been compromised again?! Seeing that I had just on that same day alerted MNF by e-mail to the fact that I did not rpt not make any calls to Somalia and asked them to investigate, I find it rather slack to let my details be abused again! The very least they could have done is to block calls to overseas numbers.
Time to look for a more cluey provider? How do I know for sure that the problem has been fixed so I can re-enable international calls? As far as the Fritzbox goes, you will have to take AVM's word for it – I believe them. I still have remote admin enabled on all our Fritzboxes but use a different non-public port for additional security.
Of the 10 Fritzboxes I look after, only the ones (3) with remote access enabled last year were hacked, those that had remote access off and those that have had their remote access turned on this year have not. I have changed all passwords on the affected fritz boxes including push email details and ISP login. If you have changed your SIP passwords you should be fine. MNF also advised me that they have installed fraud monitoring software that will automatically block your account and and advise you if this happens again, the software had operated in to minimise my losses when they first struck. Additionally, you can switch off triggered top-up and use either monthly top-up or Bpay.
Worst case scenario then would be hackers could only access existing credit and no more.
