Police burst in the BlackBerry smartphone, The company: Our devices are safe

BlackBerry has always focused on privacy and data security. The company replied on the case erupted in recent days that the Dutch police would get access to PGP encryption technologies.

BlackBerry pains to point out that its smartphone and security technologies, he uses are ” infallible as they always have been. ” The company released a statement in response to the case erupted in recent days, according to which the PGP encryption technology used by the Canadians had been violated by the Dutch police. Investigators were able to access data from a device (perhaps BB 9720) with technical unspecified exploiting one offered by Cellebrite tool.

The Canadian company has been defeated, in other words, right on its strong point, the characteristic for which many companies have chosen in the past and many users still choose today. That is why the BlackBerry itself has fallen into fields or declaring that the company has no information or details of its customers and lacks the detail needed to obtain them. In other words, the company does not cooperate with the police and added that if the reported case in recent days were true, the company and its devices would not have direct responsibility.

” BlackBerry does not have any details on the specific device or on how it is configured, managed or protected, nor do we have the details on the nature of the communications that are said to have been deciphered. If there is no access to this information was really a recovery of information on a BlackBerry device might not be due to the way the device is intended, but more realistically to a third party application not sure, or deficient in safety behaviors by the user.”

” There is no backdoor in any of the BlackBerry ” devices, it is also stressed in the post. BlackBerry does not save nor can share passwords of devices, ” either with the police or with anyone else. ” The company has collaborated for several years with various governments by offering them the best security practices, and we would point out that its technologies are inviolable and that the BlackBerry devices are ” safe and private as they have always been “, as long as users follow of course, the recommended practice.
