You may have seen the news that 3CX Phone Systems VOIP desktop application has fallen victim to an attack. As with any major vulnerability event, we recommend the following remediation steps: 

• Double-check that your environment does not have the software deployed

• If any instances are found, remove immediately

  • While only Windows and MacOS versions are currently known to be malicious, Automox recommends removing all versions of 3CX VOIP from Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile systems.

  • 3CX VOIP will communicate and distribute safe replacement versions 

Our team has created Worklets for Windows, macOS, and Linux to help Automox customers as well as a general script in standard languages for any non-Automox users. Find those resources HERE. 

And please feel free to share amongst your industry colleagues and any impacted organizations. As always, our goal is security for all.
