Yes, voicemail hacking does exist. And it is always better that you turn on your voice mail password for more security (in case you haven’t done it yet)

The risk is what you say on the voice mail. If its something that can be compromised or can risk your identity like passwords, bank account details or some very personal info then it will pose risk to you.
