Mystery 'freepbx' user created in newly hacked system?

I’m familiar with the Zizo and injector users that previous hacks have utilized as admin but I have a recent system, installed 2-3 months ago, so well after the August 2016 hack and I’ve found a mystery admin user - freepbx. The user created an outbound route and input 011 in both the prepend and prefix. Then proceeded to make international calls on a single day and then stopped Odd. They also created extensions. Has anyone else seen this new user?

Your first steps:

  1. Change root password just in case - https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/Changing+Root+Password
  2. Block all untrusted access to the Admin gui port and ssh port
  3. run fwconsole validate --clean from bash
  4. carefully look through your extensions and trunks for any altered info. You need to assume your SIP secrets have been exposed.

Ok. We have taken care of steps 1 and 2. We’ll work on 3 and 4.

Is there any way to trace when this ‘freepbx’ user was created? It would have been over a month ago so not sure if any logfiles exist.
