Hello All,
So my android friend just sent me a screenshot of scan results from an app that looks for installed programs that are vulnerable to the OpenSSL heartbeat attack and it listed BBM as vulnerable!!!

Come on BlackBerry!, my android friends are laughing at me/us! BBM is supposed to be secure.
Tell them not to laugh.. BB is still awesome.

It's safe just not on their insecure Android and iOS devices.

It's Android itself that makes BBM unsecured, BlackBerry devices totally unaffected.

No such thing as a Heartbleed scanner, to my knowledge. I'd be suspect of whatever app they're using. Seems bbm is vulnerable on their non BlackBerry devices. http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/b...ListHelperImpl
The only malware I've had on my Z10 is from an Android app. Refer your friends to this article as well. http://money.cnn.com/2014/04/11/tech...artbleed-gear/

Seems to be a few in the android store...
From my big dirty Z30
BBM is not vulnerable. Read the KB Article:
"BBM on Android
This vulnerability is mitigated by the connection architecture, in that the service only connects to a known and trusted end point.
BBM on iOS
This vulnerability is mitigated by the connection architecture, in that the service only connects to a known and trusted end point."
Download Noted, my 5-star rated, native BB10 notepad app.
Very hard to achieve total security between devices, if one of the OSes is lacking security (iOS, Android) .
That is why BlackBerry's end-to-end security solution including BB phones is the best, and despite BBM, eBBM, BES and secure workspace for the other OSes, I say it again, BB2BB is still the best.
Enterprise needs to know before buying into iOS or Knox.

BlackBerry acknowledged this and is issuing a patch in very short order. They issued a press release immediately and are dealing with this asap. They also states that because of other security features built into BBM it would take a third party much longer to exploit this than it will take them to patch it.
