Why doesn't BlackBerry reach out to these people?
- I caught this article today that Playboy put up.
It Happened to Me: I'm a Playmate and I Got Hacked | Playboy
She goes into detail about her experience and it would seem to me that she's not happy and wants something better. So why not BlackBerry?
I'd I was CEO I'd have a team that reaches out to high profile people. Some people might say whatever because she's a just a Playmate and doesn't have star caliber like people that suffered the fappening. But she's obviously has the voice of Playboy, who let her write an entire column on the issue.11-01-14 09:51 PMLike 0 - Bla1zeCB OGHow do you know they don't? Also..
And this isn’t just Apple’s responsibility. There are plenty of other ways this could have happened.
BlackBerry knows that as well, which is why they're not screaming from the rooftops to tell people to switch. The phone manufacturer is pretty irrelevant, it's the services you're attaching to it what counts. If you're uploading all your nudies to Dropbox instantly and your Dropbox gets hacked, then as a manufacturer you're instantly pulled into the conversation because it goes from 'Dropbox accounts hacked, nudies leaked' to 'BlackBerry devices compromised, Dropbox accounts hacked, nudies leaked'11-01-14 10:18 PMLike 5 - How do you know they don't?

She's not stupid either. Using a BlackBerry doesn't instantly mean this could never happen. Heck, spend enough time looking and you'll see photos that were actually taken on BlackBerry's. In the grand scheme of it all, you can only blame Apple for a portion of it, as the files were also scraped from several other cloud services as well.

The phone platform used is secondary - as mentioned above - and we should not rub our hands and grin or point our fingers at other platforms too much, because it could backfire.
Tech reporting is not very fussy and accurate with facts, and the general bias against BlackBerry is certainly not helping...

Now I'm really regretting toggling the "sync to cloud" button on 10.3.1.1016's Password Keeper, without even knowing which "the cloud" it was going to.

Of course it would be nice if BlackBerry had a real "Cloud" that could be use for a number of different features.11-03-14 03:30 PMLike 0 - How do the hackers find the user id first, before guessing the password? In both the Find my iPhone, and the iCloud hacking incidents, Apple puts the blame on the users password. Makes me wonder, how did they get the user id first?11-03-14 03:37 PMLike 0

I use encryption, the picture password, twenty some character password, BlackBerry Protect, and bes cloud services. I am protected better than most ios and droid. I though make sure my toddler doesn't mess with the phone, it would be wiped asap
Posted via CB1011-08-14 07:39 PMLike 0 - I read an article about how a security firm that was hired to test a bank's security measures. They got through the banks firewall within an hour. They called up and got the info needed by fooling a person. All the security does nothing if it is not used properly.

Posted via CB1011-10-14 08:26 PMLike 0 - And most people don't use it because it's less convenient. Which goes back to what we're talking about here, which is that, most of the time, USERS are the weakest link in the security chain. You'd be amazed at how many people use "Password1" as their password, or who use the same password on every account they have, which means if you can hack some recipe website they post on and get their password on the recipe site, you can get into every account they have everywhere. And what brand of phone they carry would be irrelevant - BB couldn't save them, and neither could Apple, Google, or Microsoft.11-11-14 08:31 PMLike 0

You could just set up halfway interesting websites and start harvesting email addresses and passwords immediately ...
...once you have access to the email address, you could reset just about any other account linked to it.
I use alias email addresses and unique passwords.
Other favorites:
names of kids, cats, dogs, husbands, wifes, DOB (duh!), street address, suburb, phone no., sports club, abc123, ....
It's not the users themselves, but rather their convenience ...
