Hello All,
SMobile’s Global Threat Center (GTC) has released a research study on proof of
concept malicious applications for BlackBerry platform. This research exposes
the weakened security posture of BlackBerry device that operate under the
BlackBerry Internet Service environment. The proof of concept applications
discussed in this research are developed to examine the response of BlackBerry
inbuilt security framework. Through this research, SMobile concludes that there
are certain instances of attacks that may be successful in bypassing the
security framework of BlackBerry and poses a significant threat to privacy and
confidentiality of the user. This research paper can be downloaded here:
