Kingdoms have fallen due to one intercepted courier on horseback.... things really haven't changed.
That said.... I expect any Quantum AI out there would classify most of us as boring.03-08-17 11:30 AMLike 0 - Is it actually possible to remotely activate the microphone of a BB10 phone to listen in on conversations?
And if yes - is that done via BB10 weaknesses, similar to iOS weaknesses on iPhones - or via the Android runtime or any installed Android app that has access to the microphone?03-08-17 12:54 PMLike 0 - Even messages that are encrypted right now, are being stored... as one day (if not already) there will be equipment capable of cracking those messages like they are some kind of zip file. It kinda like those gold miners in Alaska, they sift through 100's or 1000's of yards of dirt... to find a few ounces of gold.

- Hi all,
Nice discussion going on about whole incident.
I search & read old article
http://blogs.blackberry.com/2016/09/...erry-software/
Blackberry claimed that by BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suites, BlackBerry Workspaces, BBM Enterprise*(formerly known as BBM Protected), SecuSUITE and SecuTABLET etc solutions for providing highest security requirements from Government agencies.
But as I read another article
http://www.financialpost.com/m/wp/fp..._lsa=3d78-6223
As per article given in above link, 'CIA meeting notes mention QNX as one of several “potential mission areas” for the organization’s Embedded Devices Branch.'
As BlackBerry is Good in Enterprise security solutions, might they are leader in that field (I hope so)
After reading 3 different but might interrelated articles,
1. Did BlackBerry not gave their secure solutions to CIA, as they gave to USA The Department of Defense or others?
2. What is current status of security solutions given by BlackBerry to those government departments?
3. As in past BlackBerry security breached, what is currently line of action from Blackberry about CIA's plans?
4. What Crackberrian think about all this?

We're talking about cars people, somebody's life is in question here.03-08-17 03:51 PMLike 0 - We already have the example that ADAC did.
BMW cars found vulnerable in Connected Drive hack | PCWorld
This particular problem had nothing to do with QNX but the people who designed the BMW software didn't think clearly enough leaving loop holes like that. Also, vulnerabilities doesn't necessarily have to attack QNX or the operating system. There is a large amount of framework code around it and that is much more likely to be attacked.03-08-17 05:11 PMLike 0 - Funny, but Wikileaks is not a concern to our sovreignty. Citizen oversight is not a danger.
I'm referring the the possibility that elected officials could be compromised by embarrassing or illegal material and controlled by intelligence agencies rather than serving the people. Is everyone okay with that?

Of course they have everything on all politicians that matter.
The issue is that the russians do, too, not just the CIA and FBI.
The more holes you introduce, the greater the chance that your adversaries will use them, too.

Afterall, the software industry prides itself in fixing vulnerabilities and releasing security updates: the more the merrier and the more secure the OS, according to some here.

- How hard do you think it is for someone who works for a security agency to get hired by BlackBerry, Google, Microsoft, or Apple and intentionally introduce holes in the software?

IF you are using your phone to commit crime, certainly the authorities are going to use EVERY tool at their disposal to investigate and ultimately try to bring you to justice! The FBI, CIA, NSA and even local police do indeed have tools and experts they can consult and use to "crack" and/or get evidence from devices used while someone was engaged in suspected criminal activity! They have a right and a responsibility to do this! I was even (in the minority) on the government's side against apple when then wanted access to that terrorist's iPhone!

What they were asking for was a tool to undermine the security of ALL iPhones, EVERYWHERE. Do you really think the US government, in light of recent news, could possibly keep that from getting into the hands of any criminal organization that wanted it?TGR1 likes this.03-09-17 10:01 AMLike 1

So there is a line between offering products to governments and enterprise that are "secured" and meets their needs. And turning around and customizing a secured product that might me the needs of a criminals.03-09-17 10:31 AMLike 0 - Thanks for the info. But I was thinking more in terms of 'non official' methods - eg. companies are often worried about corporate espionage and so don't allow camera phones, but I guess it would be even easier for rivals to just listen in on a meeting if it were possible to remotely activate a cellphone's mic. And so I guess (or hope) BlackBerry devices would be able to withstand such 'efforts' to a greater extent than iPhones/Androids.03-09-17 10:42 AMLike 0

The NSA Security Compound UTAH
In southern Utah there is is a massive complex so large it is more than five times the size of the US Capitol. The heavily fortified $2 billion facility in Bluffdale encompass's 1 million square feet. built by the Bush Administrations U.S. Government and known as
The Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center,
Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks.
