OT but related.
This is the second important headline today in all Germanys newspapers today (here a english source):
Germany arrests second suspect accused of spying for US | World news | theguardian.com
After the NSA scandal (snowden, merkels phone) the US government has installed a spy in the NSA investigation cometee of the parlament and now, in our department of defence. To put it mildely, the german public is not amused. Not at all. It shows, that the US government is completely unbridled when it comes to data collection.
Put this together with the facts, that
- the NSA assigns private companies to collect data (which are not controlled)
- the NSA is the creator of KNOX
- KNOX is part of Samsungs enterprise solution.
I think, right now, every government or company outside the US will look twice before they commit their communication solutions to google/KNOX or any other US based companies like Apple or Microsoft. As long as BlackBerry provides secure solutions, they should be the first choice.
