Did not you, over the airwaves and the shape of the backup phone, BlackBerry data encryption for secure?? think again.
Russian software developer, has developed the Russian rivals and AccentSoft, effective password cracking programs most common desktop encryption format ElcomSoft, it is once again. Now, it is phone password breaker was previously limited to BlackBerry, Apple's mobile devices and the target.

As well as password cracking programs this is double-edged sword. If you need to really stolen and remotely, is clear from your mobile phone data backed up on the other hand it, you can save the bacon. On the other hand, how to read the cyber criminals to your backup now just hand business data that was encrypted. You can you dig the Government there is good reason to read the data.
According to Vladimir Katalov ElcomSoft CEO:
Encrypts all data sent between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry smartphones are highly secure AES or triple DES algorithm. Generate unique secret encryption keys, a secure two-way authenticated environment, has been assigned to each BlackBerry smart phone users. In securing the information that is stored on the BlackBerry smartphone, (limited to elimination of smartphones, 10 attempts after default did all its contents clean clear password authentication) can enforce policies for password authentication, BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You can apply IT policy over all data, including messages, contacts, calendar entries, notes, tasks, and offered no encryption and locally. The specified password keeper and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption password entry is online banking passwords, PIN codes, and financial information a convenient--and enabling users to maintain a secure on a Smartphone, safely can be kept. Enough to remove information from a BlackBerry device password locking changes, lost or stolen BlackBerry so system administrators create if not remotely sends wireless command.
Don't do sound pretty safe? It is always like the weakest link. BlackBerry in the weakest link is the offline backup mechanism.
Katalov also back them up, so superior backup description. But he also to create a new instance of the private or confidential information, so what a wicked says. BlackBerry backup schema describes his hole.
It is a seven-character case-sensitive mix password: Ouch, means that it takes only 3 days to break. Special characters in number and password or password, dictionary attack all in one case, or if you partially known password time longer, much time is it a bit more takes time.
Bottom line: If you have forgotten your password, and need to restore a backup of your BlackBerry really hope yet. Deep problems with hand controls, and the attacker to make backup files at the same time if you want.
