So much for privacy.
Reports today indicate that RIM, the maker of the Blackberry, have agreed to turn over the encryption codes of their users to the Saudi government so that the traffic can be monitored. This comes only days after RIM stated that even they didn’t possess those codes.
My concern here is the threat to user data across the globe. If you open a security hole to one group how long will it be before someone takes advantage of that vulnerability and is able to hack the private data of the rest of RIM’s customers?
Way to bend over and take one in the Ass, RIM. Gives a new meaning to RIM service.
