total was to be expected – the German Der Spiegel reported that the documents held by it about the American electronic surveillance program that the NSA is actually full access to the data stored on devices iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices.

According to the German newspaper, the NSA has access to virtually everything that is on those devices. Analysts agencies may prefer to view the list of contacts, download data from GPS or read text messages. Work on security violations each mobile operating systems were carried out within the framework established by the special agency working groups. These teams also had to develop additional “working methods” such as the ability to monitor a user’s computer by synchronizing your iPhone. Given that, according to previous reports, both Google and Apple still cooperate with the NSA, at least in this section work should be facilitated.

is quite different in the case of BlackBerry, whose products are considered to be quite safe. Nothing could be further from the truth. The documents held by the German newspaper that already in 2009 the NSA could read SMS BlackBerry owners. Soon after, a Canadian company has changed the way data compression, so the NSA and GCHQ have lost access to them, but already in March 2010, they were able to once again compromise the security of the BlackBerry. NSA also obtained access to your BlackBerry, which has always been the pride of Canadians.

documents cited by Der Spiegel have been a few years, but the paper suggests that the dealings spy on mobile devices is not as widespread as the NSA surveillance of the Internet. In the cases where we were always personalized attacks on specific individuals, sometimes with the help of programs written specifically for that to attack one target. Companies producing device, regardless of whether they work with NSA or not, had no idea about it.
