BlackBerry has always been the market leader in security and data communications. The company boasts of having a plurality of certificates from government organizations around the world, however, in the provision of security for ordinary users in the BlackBerry recently there was a strong competitor. Nevertheless Blackphone, a joint effort by companies and Geeksphone Silent Circle, promises to provide the highest level of security of the average consumer, was hacked last weekend for five minutes at a conference DEF CON.
Many previously questioned the high level of security Blackphone of the fact that he is running Android Open Source Project. BlackBerry itself has identified the level of safety as a consumer and not suitable for business. A hacker was able to gain access to root-rights Blackphone even without unlocking the bootloader. Developers Blackphone hastened to correct the error in the system safety devices, but for the future buyers of this fact can be a strong argument in favor of smartphones BlackBerry, working with its operating system, and not the open source Android.
