- The information was obtained from the NSA NOT any third party, they are able to decrypt anything except BlackBerry devices easily. There was inter / intra agency cooperation on this hack. If anyone doubts that they are clearly unaware of the capability of the NSA.

Neither do they control the SDCARD.
All of these are controlled by the NSA.
The Cellebrite website clearly states that they can decrypt the external memory of a BB10 phone, without requiring BlackBerry ID.
This article from the Globe and Mail writes that Apple has started to build their own servers because they no longer trust the ones they purchase.

This remains BlackBerry's problem even if they decide to become a software only company. They cannot guarantee security if they don't control and design the hardware.Last edited by sorinv; 03-30-16 at 08:21 AM.

They know how to handle that.
Chances are it's one of his "usual hand" finger (right or left handed, he is) so that 5 attempts ... lol.
Fingerprint is NOWHERE secure, furthermore it's a blatant threat (unchangeable personal unique ID = absolute no-go ... or should it be ...)
P.S: I would not be surprised if the "hack" is more social-engineering related, BTW.03-30-16 11:07 AMLike 0 - The main weakness of all BlackBerry phones is that BlackBerry has no control over the ICs in the phone. BlackBerry does not design the ICs that go in the phone. US companies do.

There is a winner in Apple?s court battle with the FBI - The Globe and Mail

When it comes to security they seem to have no expectations of security when using their phones.

Biometric security has the user and password all in one. With the added feature that it can be triggered without the user will in some cases. Not an infalible method in my opinion.

- Hmm..I don't know about this. If this was an inter-agency thing, surely it would have been handled before a court case was to be filed? Unless you're saying it's the NSA that figured out how to get into the iPhone post-lawsuit, and not a third party company.

- Any one phone can be forensically hacked. This doesn't really say much about any secutiry. Even a blackberry could be broken into. The issue here was never whether 1 phone could be hacked, it was about the legal ramifications of the government forcing apple to put back-doors in their software.raino likes this.03-30-16 04:42 PMLike 1

The point is not moot!

Same with the Priv. Because Blackberry says its protecting your privacy with it (which it most certainly is not) people say "I'm using a Priv because I value my privacy," which is a complete joke. I own one myself, but I'm not under the illusion that my information is kept private from Google, because it isn't.03-30-16 06:49 PMLike 3
