Sorenson VP and Other VPs attacked

G'day Everyone.

Update: Sorenson put this statement out on Facebooks for many of their members. I share this here:

Sorenson VRS: If you received strange missed calls this morning and are experiencing problems with the VP you use, please reboot the VP. To reboot, unplug the power from the back of the VP and wait 10 seconds before plugging it back in. You will need to confirm your e911 address and then the VP should work as normal.

another sorenson statement on FB:Sorenson VRS This morning, someone tried to communicate with any internet-connected device within an IP range. This is not a virus and was not specifically targeted at Sorenson videophones but did appear as a missed call on videophones in that IP range. We have removed these calls from the system. If you are still experiencing problems, a reboot should now fix it.

Sherlock Steve here, just to let you all know, the reboot by disconnecting the VP from the power for 10 seconds (I did a 20 second wait) and then reconnect the power does work. Just remember to verify your e911 address.

About 9:30am to 10am several VideoPhones (VPs) were attacked through their IP addresses. We can only assume that it was hacker that was looking for fresh victims. If you have gotten this IP address- 202.71.111.5 and according to the emails that I got today, several of my friends did. I am very sure countless others have gotten the same answer or experience the same situation.

The deaf community FB world is a buzz about this situation. Sorenson is investigation of this situation. For now they said to REBOOT your VPs by disconnecting power. Count 10 then put the plug back in. This will cause the VPs to choose a new IP address and re-verify your e911 address.

I am going to go public here. I am praying that every hacker and scammer to have a painful death in their lives. For when they get hurt, I hope they experience a full pain that will cause them to die a painful death. That same type of pain will be upon them in HELL and in THE ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE upon them.

I want to bounty those hackers and scammers. I would pray that the moment they are caught and found guilty, the first thing they ought to have done upon them is have their hands CHOPPED OFF! Then they can live a prison life with out the use of hands.

I know I am angry right now. So are countless others as well.

Be aware, you hackers and scammers, that your death is coming.. PAINFULLY!

Praise God and semer FI!
