Dutch police says that are able to bypass the protection of "uncrackable" BlackBerry smartphone with PGP encryption of e-mail messages. Theoretically found the vulnerability could be exploited by criminals, however forensics from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) do not disclose the algorithms of hacking.

for the First time information about possible unauthorized access to email messages on BlackBerry smartphones appeared in December 2015. It was alleged that after deleting their messages can still be recovered and read, reports Motherboard. The specialists of the NFI have tested in practice the opportunity and achieved their goal. This was done by a specialized company Cellebrite.

BlackBerry Smartphones with built-in PGP encryption are positioned as the device for users who don't want to risk their business or personal correspondence. These smart phones are used among others, and representatives of the criminal world.
