jetsfan Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The RIM Blackberry series of smartphones are now banned within French government departments for official operations. Officials in the European nation are concerned about possible electronic eavesdropping by the U.S. National Security Agency since the RIM network utilizes servers in the United States and the United Kingdom. "The risks of interception are real. It is economic war," daily Le Monde quoted Alain Juillet, in charge of economic intelligence for the government, as saying. With BlackBerries, there is "a problem with the protection of information," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) I wonder if the concept of encryption has reached there yet? Also, there is such a thing as common sense - if you're sending top secret stuff over wireless, you're a cretin.
