as an exclusive blackberry user from 2007 until 3 weeks ago (and only because there are no hardware choices), blackberry seems to be the definition of how to do everything exactly how to alienate customers and it just keeps rolling along. |
RIP blackberry gonna short the fuck out of them tmr |
they had a key for BBM not BES |

it's unclear how said key was obtained...BB hasn't confirmed anything directly and the court document only suggests RCMP somehow got access. Whether or not they still have access or if BB has changed the key is a mystery. Are there many businesses left that are strictly using BB? |

If I'm correct, though, I really don't have an issue with it. I would, however, take issue if the access provided to the RCMP allowed them to check any phone, at any time, without a warrant. |
Ok lets clear the air with this, bait and switch article. Nobody uses BBM anymore or PIN-PIN messaging and blackberry never said it was secure, the messages are scrambled though. So if they had the key, they can decrypt the messages. BIS: https://web.archive.org/web/20100125...itsb57-e-2.jpg BES: https://web.archive.org/web/20100125...itsb57-e-1.jpg |
BBM was very popular in 2010 when this RCMP project started. just because it wasn't secure doesn't mean the authorities should snoop around and try to downplay it when exposed. If your doors are unlocked does that automatically mean anyone and everyone's invited? I just hope they went through tons of dick pics during the search :lol |
