Defcon 1?: Massive ATA failure

Post by IanNoga »

So, I just want to summarize today's events.

Magicjack released an update yesterday that apparently did nothing but remove "Do not disturb." The next day, all ATA devices (even ones with the magicjack user agents) went dead. This was because magicjack changed the SIP credentials on all magicJacks. Pretty much everyone is using stroths utility to get their new SIP info, but the new SIP info fails to register on the ATA even though their magicJack dongle works fine.

The reports are mixed, but it seems that generally almost no one can use their ATAs. Many have noticed a proxy change from 1 to 01, but changing this doesn't even work.

Thus, either

1) magicJack has somehow hidden the actual proxy

or

2)the update yesterday somehow re-encrypted the SIP credentials which they decided to change this morning. Although stroths pulls up the SIP info, maybe it is completely inaccurate.
