When employees of Sony Pictures were forced to resort to use BlackBerry handsets in order to communicate via a secure hack-free servers of BlackBerry and not hacked ones as Sony's, it amplified how vulnerable is even the top corporations' confidential information, and not only of regular employees but more of the senior management as CEOs as Sony CEO's passwords, bank accounts and family private information were exchanged via insecure emails.
PC Magazine published this good piece about data security back on Dec. 18 2014 and I believe it is still relevant today with the release of the CNN article about Sony employees being forced to use BlackBerry - the ancient technology - to communicate with each other.
It's a good read about how important information security is or should be to us and yet how unimportant we take it to be because as most of see ourselves as unimportant enough that we don't need security when sending and receiving personal and private information via emails, social networks, IM and others.
I personally loved this sentence in the piece "And BlackBerry, so much BlackBerry, always BlackBerry" as it is a testament that BlackBerry is the only advanced and reliable technology when it comes to information security!
PS if it has been posted before, I apologize for the unnecessary redundancy.
Otherwise enjoy the article and in knowing your information is secure on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
