Is the FBI's request to Apple to unlock a phone benificial or detrimental to BlackBerry?
- Excuse you. I never mentioned Priv in my post. I was talking about the long history of BlackBerry being the king when it comes to the privacy of communication devices including BBOS and BB10 phones. I can see you wanna pick a fight, but you need to have several seats instead. #ByeFelicia

I hope this snowball into something bigger and then force people to rethink their privacy and reevaluate the brand of phones they choose. Maybe people will remember that BlackBerry is still the king when it comes to privacy on a mobile device.

Do you think that BlackBerry can decrypt a bb10 phone that is not on BES?
Is there any proof of that?
I know they can do it if they can transfer files by sftp out of my device with ghost commander.02-21-16 10:20 AMLike 0 - I have not seen the Heins quote, but certainly Chen stated that BB10 wads the most secure and private.

Being realistic about it, Chen would probably welcome an action like this against BlackBerry to open the opportunity to wind up the business and claim it was forced by USA.02-21-16 05:53 PMLike 0 - There are a few issues here. One is privacy and two is the right against self incrimination. You see if the iPhone user was using the "Finger Print Scanner" the phone would have been unlocked a long time ago. Phones are seized daily for various crimes. If you use a "Finger Print" for security, and are arrested, once you are fingerprinted by Law Enforcement you can be forced to unlock your device. However, if you don't have "TouchID" enabled they cannot force you to give up your password. The courts have ruled on this time and time again ever since TouchID has been introduced by Apple and similar security on other devices. I'm not sharing an opinion here, just the facts. The accuser here is protected because their method of security was a numeric and/or alphanumeric passcode. Moreover, Apple will not fold under Gov't pressure. Apple can single handedly take down the US Stock Market. It's the same reason Gates isn't taken down for 100+ anti-trust violations the Gov't watches and does nothing about. Notice how the Gov't is asking for creation of backdoor. Its the Gov't, if they could...they'd just mandate and take it, but they have to "ASK" cause they know the potential repercussions of trying to force Apple to do anything.02-21-16 07:59 PMLike 0
- I can see apple unlocking this phone on their own and then turning it over. The phone is now the property of the FBI not the original owner. If the original owner was alive then no. No access for the FBI.
No back door access, PEROID. There are people all over the world using iPhone. I'm sure they don't want some government of a foreign country snooping around in their phone. Let apple unlock the phones on a case by case basis. Nothing else.

What if there is information on that phone to prevent another crime, but it is not unlocked before the crime? If it is later unlocked and found there was information that might have prevented a crime that occurred while Apple and the FBI are arguing over unlocking it, I could see the victim's ( of the later crime) families suing not only Apple, but the employer that owned the phone and wasn't concerned enough to have the phones they issue to employees manged.02-23-16 12:53 PMLike 0 - The original owner is alive, the county or municipal government owned the phone, but had not exercised, proper control over it. My premise is this incident may force more industries other than regulated industries to use a mobile device management strategy, such as offered by BlackBerry.
