NSA Can Reportedly Hack your Smart Phone :)
The National Security Agency (NSA) can reportedly spy directly on smartphones,according to leaked documents from Germany’s Der Spiegel. Der Spiegel reports that the NSA can “tap most sensitive data held on these smart phones, including contact lists, SMS traffic, notes and location information about where a user has been.”
Smartphone makers, especially Apple, have claimed that agencies can’t read the encrypted messages that are sent between devices of the same type (i.e. iMessage and BBM). However, Some of the reports says NSA cracked most of the encrypted (ssl) sites with their super computers , So it is possible that the NSA could have access to them. If Der Spiegel’s report is true, it would be especially damaging to BlackBerry, with its strong following in government.
So, lets wait for Der Spiegel full report for more details ..!
