If the extension in question is one that is normally accessed via
a SIP soft-phone of some sort, you should check the PC(s) on which
this softphone is run for any sort of malware infection.

There have been more than a few malware packages (viruses or trojans)
which contain payloads that search the compromised system for
various forms of authorization credentials.  It's possible that
this extension's password wasn't cracked by brute force, but
was stolen from the soft-phone configuration file on a user's PC.
