Hi.

Ok, did you buy this set new? And when you programed it you set the tftp
server to 0.0.0.0 or an address on your network and changed the password.
If not and you left the tftp server address in when it reboots it will look
for the tftp server and update settings as nesesary.
To have "Hacked" it you would have needed port80 open and pointing at the
phone..
I very much doubt its been hacked.

What is even odder is that europasstelecom dont seem to have launched a
service yet!!!! and it looks like a MLM scheme as well, so any type of
advertising is good for dodgy agents.......even just getting the name
outthere....
