The iPhones and Blackbery phones under suspicion by Claudia Sonea

Germans have a strong reputation as serious people and everything they do is supposedly of superior quality, so when they say that the iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones are dangerous and easy to be hacked, you should stop and think about it.

However, the fear has no logic or support as the fact that the devices offer access to the Internet through a closed networked and all data is encrypted. Practically it is impossible for a third! party to actually get access to private information. In fact the reason why Germany like United Arab Emirates or India are against the smartphones mentioned previously is because the intelligence agency and the government don’t have access to the information sent using the devices. Due to the rigid system that the countries have, the main belief is that the access should be within the control of the government. What about people’s privacy and their right of not being under the politicians’ eye just like in Orwell’s book? No one would accept willingly for a Big Brother regime in a country where our ancestors died for the right to freedom, for democracy. As for the third parties attacks over the devices, we might me in a con of doubt because the intelligence agents were not able to break the system, so for an amateur hacker it should be even more difficult.
