Even if it’s not remotely, the Dutch police found a way to decrypt the emails and for some of them they can read them.
BlackBerry is no secure as before, having lost a lot of market shares of smartphones and they sell less than a few years ago, now they are loosing their leading position on security.
THE HAGUE: Dutch police confirmed they have found a way to hack into messages on BlackBerry data-encrypted smartphones, which claim to be the world’s most secure communications devices.
The news first leaked in December on a Dutch blog Misdaadnieuws.com which revealed that the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) had broken into Blackberries equipped with the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption programme.
Even deleted e-mails could “largely” be recovered, although police could not hack into the phones from a distance, but had to have them in their hands, the website said, linking to a number of excerpts from what it said were NFI reports.
The institute, which helps police in retrieving forensic evidence in Dutch criminal cases, told AFP the reports were authentic.
“We can confirm that these reports were indeed from NFI,” the spokesman said.
