[PUZZLE] Doc Ulfert has a VoiceMail box now
Of course, it requires a password...

So I noticed in the last email from the good Doctor that a phone extension was now listed after his phone number. Of course you know what *this* means - there is probably a VM box to be hacked!

Called the number (888-363-2012) and now there is an option for employees to access their voice mailboxes. Entered the Doc's extention (9876) and it asked for a password, which of course I didn't have.

So... what could the password possibly be? Tried the obvious (2012) but that wasn't it. Any ideas?

Uh... hello? So is there anyone with any ideas on how to solve this?

I'm going to call the number again today at lunch to see if I can find anything in the info recorded there....

The thing that stuck out the most for me was "Safe Haven" - seems familiar but I'm not sure from where....

OH my, new voicemail in Doc Ulfert's box! Rather threatening, asking for his "cooperation" regarding a matter of "national security" - he's not to talk to either Adrian Helmsley or Satnam Sirtani (sp), who apparently are both former IHC employees.

I wonder who these gentlemen might be?

Ooer! New messages! Someone should really transcribe all these.

The newest message is mostly inaudible. Two men are arguing. Apparently one man's phone butt-dialed Soren. You know, butt-dialed? where you're sitting on your phone and mash the buttons in such a way that it dials someone in your address book or something, and then you get a voice mail message or something, consisting of background noise and an odd conversation? That's what the latest message is.

The message, left at about noon: It's really hard to understand, but it seems to be one man assuring another men thusly: "Listen if you think it's hitting to close to home i'd be happy to talk about it." ... "I'll keep an eye on it too, and if i hear anything you'll be the fFirst to know."

ALSO: another message fFrom 9AM this morning: Barbara (who is part of the senior management, apprently) is telling Soren he will not be cleared to see the data on Safe Haven. Now why might that be, I wonder.

So the "butt-dialed" call sounds to me to be between a gentleman with an Indian-infused English accent (Satnam Tsurutani, perhaps?) and a woman (having to assume Barbara Lewis-Penn). The man appears to be concerned about something Soren Ulfert may know, and the woman is consoling him, saying she's sure he (Soren I assume) doesn't know anything, that he's a professional, and that if she notices anything changing she'll let him know and/or "handle it".

That was all I was really able to glean from the phone call - it really sounds like someone actually had the phone in their back pocket the whole time Very Happy It also seems like the gentleman (I'm assuming it was *his* phone that did the butt-dialing) is pacing while talking to the woman - you can hear her voice fade in and out slightly, as if he were walking towards and away from her during their convo - pacing and agitated.

Oh... and the convo is about Safe Haven. I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that Safe Haven isn't what we think it is...

Remember the website celina posted in the other thread, Corruptiontheory? The guy from the website mentions being part of a government organization... the people on the phone conversations are probably part of the same organization.

Also, a quick transcription of the newest message, summarized so I could keep up.

3:47 pm sep 14
hello remember me, few weeks ago
when U.S. wants cooperation, pay attention and follow orders
helmsly and surutani are off limits (couldn't remember names after he said them, those are approximations)
they never existed
project _ is none of your business (didn't understand the word)
this is for national security.
